Holy Book Series- Srimad Bhagavatam( Bhagavata Purana) Trailer By Pandit Sri Shankar Parial Sastri
Om Namya Narayana!
The Bhāgavata Purāṇais one of the "Maha" Puranic texts of Hindu literature, with its primary focus on bhakti (devotion) to the incarnations of Vishnu, particularly Krishna. The Sanskrit text comprises twelve skandas (cantos or books) and 13,216 verses by one count.The first nine books are about the different avatars of Vishnu, while the tenth and longest book covers the life of Krishna. It was the first Purana to be translated into a European language, with three French translations between 1840 and 1857.

Assigning a date for any Purana is problematical. The Bhāgavata itself, along with Hindu tradition, gives ancient origins for the story, with authorship credited to Veda Vyasa. Most modern scholars date the text to the ninth or tenth century CE.

The intense and personal bhakti described in the Bhāgavata is directed toward Krishna as God in human form. The tenth book (or canto), which is dedicated to Krishna, takes up about one quarter of the entire Bhāgavata. It is the most comprehensive collection of stories about the life of Krishna, from the events leading up to his birth, to his childhood and adult life. It presents Krishna in all the stages and conditions of human life. It also includes instruction in the practice of bhakti, an analysis of bhakti, and descriptions of the different types of bhakti.

The Bhāgavata takes the form of a story recounting Vyasa's work being recited for the first time by his son Sukadeva to the dying King Parikshit, who owes his life to Krishna. Longing to hear of Krishna before he dies, Sukadeva recites the Bhāgavata to Parikshit over the course of seven days.
