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
We cannot see outside what we are not inside. The universe is to us what the huge engine is to the miniature engine; and indication of any error in the tiny engine leads us to imagine trouble in the huge one.
-Swami Vivekananda
