If you ever desire to cross over this ocean of material existence and achieve the lotus feet of Supreme Lord Sri Hari then please take shelter of Srimad Bhagavatam, the mature fruit of the desire tree of Vedic literatures. Srimad Bhagavatam is declared to be the essence of all Vedanta philosophy. One who has felt satisfaction from its nectarean mellows will never be attracted to any other literatu
re. Srila Vyasadev collected whatever Vedic conclusions were in the four Vedas and 108 Upanishads and placed them in the aphorisms of the Vedanta-sutra. In the Vedanta-sutra, the purport of all Vedic knowledge is explained, and in Srimad Bhagavatam the same purport has been explained in eighteen thousand verses. srimad-bhagavatam puranam amalam yad vaisnavanam priyam

Srimad Bhagavatam is the spotless Purana. It is most dear to the vaishnavas because it describes the pure and supreme knowledge of the paramahamsas. This Bhagavatam reveals the means for becoming free from all material work, together with the processes of transcendental knowledge, renunciation and devotion. Anyone who seriously tries to understand Srimad Bhagavatam, who properly hears and chants it with devotion, becomes completely liberated.

We dedicate this e-magazine to the Lotus feet of His Divine Grace A.C. As a service to vaishnava society we wish to offer the glories of the Srimad Bhägavataà as presented by our previous acharyas. This is our humble attempt to encourage devotees to read, hear and speak Srimad Bhagavatam regularly. Additionally we have also started a self study course, by which we have presented an easy way to approach Srimad Bhagavatam. Devotees can take advantage of this course material by writing to us at [email protected].
