The Bhagavata Purana or Bhagavatam has for centuries been one of the favourite religious texts of India, and this is no small measure due of its charming and attractive stories. In the present book published by Advaita Ashrama, a publication centre of Ramakrishna Math, Belur Math, India, the readers will find a condensed account of all their favourite stories from the Bhagavatam — the story of Sri Krishna, the story of Prahlada, of Dhruva, of King Bharata, and many more. There are stories of rishis, kings, heroes, avatars, and of devas and asuras. Through the medium of these stories, the Bhagavatam subtly but surely conveys the eternal human values and impels its readers to the path of righteousness.More than 15 illustrations add to the value of this book.
