Even after he has composed the awesome Mahabharata, the Maharishi Vyasa finds no peace. Narada Muni says to him, Ordinary men will be delighted by your work, but what about the Sages of heaven and earth? You have described the human life, its strife and its ends, but you have not yet described the Lord himself. You must turn your great gift to that task; only then will you find peace. Veda Vyasa composes the Bhagavata Purana, in eighteen thousand slokas and twelve kandas. He teaches it to his illumined son Suka, who narrates the Secret Purana to Yudhishtira s heir, King Parikshit, on the banks of the Ganga. The Bhagavata Purana is a living embodiment of the Lord Narayana and claims to bestow moksha merely by being heard. Just before Krishna, the Avatara, leaves the world, Uddhava says to him, leave us a tangible form, Lord, in which we can find you, touch you, and be near you. Krishna enters the Bhagavata Purana with all of his being. This book is a full literary rendering of the Bhagavata Purana, bringing all the wonder, wisdom and grace of the Book of God to the modern reader.

One Big Book,
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: The Bhagavata Purana (Clothbound) (Hardcover)
This is one big book!!! 1449 pages! The translation by Ramesh Menon has been a joy to read (so far - I'm not finished). His style of prose naturally conveys the sacredness of the text but in a manner easily accessible to the english reader. I highly recommend this translation.

Read this and you will never have to read another book again. (Unless you want to). Ramesh Menon scores a perfect ten with this translation. If you are into Yoga or esoteric knowledge this is your bible.
