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
Let each one of us pray day and night for the downtrodden millions who are held fast by poverty, priestcraft, and tyranny. Pray day and night for them. I care more to preach religion to them than to the high and the rich.
-Swami Vivekananda
