A comprehensive but concise introduction to the Bhagavata. Besides giving all relevant details about the historicity and origin of Srimad Bhagavata and its philosophy, it provides an impetus for undertaking a complete study of the scripture.
Avoid excessive merriment. A mind in that state never becomes calm; it becomes fickle. Excessive merriment will always be followed by sorrow. Tears and laughter are near kin. People so often run from one extreme to the other.
-Swami Vivekananda
