«Shrimad Bhagavatam» (translated from Sanskrit — «The Glorious Narrative of the Supreme Lord and His Devotees») was written approximately in the third millennium BC. In this multi-volume work, Shri Vyasa Dev, its author, compiled all philosophical conclusions of the Vedas, thus «Shrimad Bhagavatam» is also known as the «cream» of Vedic wisdom.

The Western world was introduced to «Shrimad Bhagavatam» through translations and commentaries of a representative of the Vedic tradition, His Divine Grace A. C. Bhaktivedanta Swami Prabhupada.

For a wide circle of readers.
