In Narayaneeyam, a poetical hymn of 1036 verses, Narayana Bhattatiri (16th century) gives a masterly summary of the subject matter dealt with in the 14,000 verses of the Bhagavata Purana. A close study of this work will help one gain an insight into authentic Bhakti traditions of India in a short compass. Besides this, the book is noted for the fascinating way in which it portrays the life and achievements of Sri Krishna
There is only one sin -- and that sin is weakness. When I was a boy, I read Milton's Paradise Lost. The only good man I had any respect for was Satan. The only saint is the soul who never weakens, faces everything, and determines to die game.
