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)
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
