Perhaps the greatest of the Puranas, the Srimad Bhagavatam has been for centuries one of the favorite religious texts of India. The Bhagavata Purana includes many stories well known in Hinduism, including the various avatars of Vishnu and the life and pastimes of his complete incarnation, Krishna or Svayam Bhagavan.

Religious truths are here presented in the form of stories for young and old alike. The selection includes many favorites: the story of Prahlada, of Dhruva, of King Bharata, and, or course, of Krishna. This is not a scholarly work, but a book of folk tales, which nevertheless is full of profound teachings.

Illustrated throughout with black and white line drawings.
