The nineteenth century saint Ramakrishna said of the Bhagavatam, "It is fried in the butter of Knowledge and steeped in the honey of Love."At regular intervals through the text, the chapters being condensed are designated by Book and Chapter numbers
very disappointed MasterTheDream This book does not compare at all to "Vasistha's Yoga" which I give the highest rating available. Buy that one instead of this one. It was a waste of time and money for me. "Vasistha's Yoga," and, "The Concise Yoga Vasistha", are two of the best purchases I have ever made. They are truly priceless.. Excellent book !

He is not only a scholar but also a great teacher and meditator.The problem we have with many hindu scriptures is that many of them are translated by hindu people who don't have a great command of the english language and who don't know a great deal about american problems and concerns.On the other hand, many hindu scriptures are translated by american people who are only scholars and did not live in an hindu culture or environment.Swami Venkateshan.
