The Bhagavata is the epitome of the Vedas, the essence of Vedic wisdom, an inspired composition encompassing the entire field of religion and philosophy, and the magnum opus of Vedavyasa. The present book is an anthology containing some of the choicest verses from that sacred work. It would not only inspire the readers but also make them seriously think about higher aspects of human life and existence and thus elevate them. It is enriched by a lucid translation, word-for-word meaning of the Sanskrit words and transliteration. (Sruti Gita)
The disciple must have great power of endurance. Life seems comfortable; and you find the mind behaves well when everything is going well with you. But if something goes wrong, your mind loses its balance. That is not good. Bear all evil and misery without one murmur of hurt, without one thought of unhappiness, resistance, remedy, or retaliation. That is true endurance; and that you must acquire.
-Swami Vivekananda
