After the Upanishads and the Bhagavad Gita, the Srimad Bhagavata is one of the most authoritative of Indian scriptures. Complete text, verse by verse English translation, and elaborate introduction to each of the 4 volumes, notes on select topics, glossary of philosophic terms and general index.
I am the thread that runs through all these pearls, and each pearl is a religion or even a sect thereof. Such are the different pearls, and God is the thread that runs through all of them; most people, however, are entirely unconscious of it.
-Swami Vivekananda
