About Srimad Bhagavatam
Srimad Bhagavatam also known as the Bhagavata Purana, Srimad Bhagavata Mahapurana or simply Bhagavata, is one of Hinduism’s eighteen great Puranas. Composed in Sanskrit and traditionally attributed to Veda Vyasa, it promotes bhakti (devotion) towards Narayana, Lord Vishnu, integrating themes from the Advaita philosophy of Adi Shankara, the Vishishtadvaita philosophy of Ramanujacharya and the Dvaita of Madhvacharya.
The text consists of twelve books (skandhas or cantos) totalling 332 chapters (adhyayas) and 18,000 verses. The 18,000 verses consist of several interconnected, interwoven, and non-linear dialogues, teachings, and explanations on a wide range of topics including cosmology, astronomy, genealogy, geography, legend, music, dance, culture and yoga, especially Bhakti Yoga that go back and forth in time and across its twelve cantos.
The Srimad Bhagavatam is an essential scripture that not only describes the pastimes and activities of Lord Krishna, but also indirectly explains the Vedantic Philosophy in such a way that it is easier to understand for everyone, without any confusion.
The Srimad Bhagavatam is the very essence of all the Vedanta literature. One who has enjoyed the nectar of its rasa never has any desire for anything else — Bhagavata Purana
