THE MOST INFLUENTIAL AND POPULAR OF THE PURANAS, NOW RENDERED BY ONE OF OUR MOST EMINENT SANSKRIT TRANSLATORS
A seamless blend of fable and philosophy, the Bhagavata Purana is perhaps the most revered text in the Vaishnava tradition. It brings to life the legends of gods, asuras, sages and kings-all the while articulating the crucial ethical and philosophical tenets that underpin Hindu spiritualism.
The narrative unfolds through a series of conversations and interconnected stories. We are told how the sage Vyasa was inspired by Narada to compose the Bhagavata Purana as a means to illumine the path to a spiritual life. We learn of the devotion of Prahlada, the austerity of Dhruva and the blinding conceit of Daksh Also recounted are tales of the many incarnations of Vishnu, especially Krishna, whoes we see grow from a beloved and playful child to a fierce protector of the faithful.
