Complete Srimad Bhagavatam Set of Eighteen Volumes

The Srimad Bhagavatam, or Bhagavat Purana, is the graduate study of Vedic literature, and is the king of all knowledge. This is the supreme science of all spiritual matters, descended from the supreme Lord Krishna at the time of Creation. These 12 cantos cover all the incarnations of God, past present and future and explains their purpose and activities. They also deal with the structure of the creation and all universes, upper middle and lower planets. They describe the personality of God and his personality, what he wears, eats, and his pastimes. His friends, enemies, parents and relations, and the perfection of his loving relationships with them and all living entities. The first canto starts with the nature of the self, and the purpose of life, all life. Who we are and why we exist. It is the perfection of all religion and cultures. Of all the collections of spiritual teachings found in Vedic literature, Srimad-Bhagavatam is considered the topmost. Vedic literature is sometimes said to be a "desire tree," a tree that can yield whatever one might desire, and of that tree the Srimad-Bhagavatam is said to be the ripe and most relishable fruit. Srimad-Bhagavatam is sometimes said to begin where the Bhagavad-gita leaves off, since it goes even further into the nature of reality and the relationship between all beings and the Absolute. The Bhagavatam's eighteen thousand verses consist of hundreds of conversations**x2015;spoken between yogis, sages, and self-realized kings of the ancient world**x2015;on how to achieve life's ultimate perfection. Their discussions frequently center on various incarnations of Krishna**x2015;the Supreme Person**x2015;and descriptions of His pastimes with His devotees. The entire work was compiled by Vyasadeva**x2015;editor of the Vedas**x2015;as his own commentary on Vedanta-sutra, the essence of all theistic knowledge. The Bhagavatam is also known as the Bhagavat Purana, one of the eighteen Puranas (supplemental works) in the Vedic tradition. It is presented in twelve cantos**x2015;volumes**x2015;each of which deals with a specific aspect of the Absolute Truth, the original and supreme cause of all causes. It is the science and practice of bhakti-yoga, devotional service to the Supreme Person.
