Srimad Bhagavatam
by Kamala Subramaniam

This is a summarised version of the Mahapurana Srimad Bhagavatam written by Smt. Kamala Subramaniam. While summarising the Mahapurana, Smt. Subramaniam has omitted only the ornamentations and decorations, usual in all Sanskrit literature. She has uncompromisingly kept intact the solid hard core of the Mahapurana. Not only she has taken no liberty with the essentials of this sacred book, but in fact has brought them out more prominently in a language which is as simple as it is appealing.

The readers of this sacred book will thus derive great spiritual benefit not confined to the Hindu society alone but also to mankind outside the Hindu fold. While studying the Kathas--the stories of the great personalities and of the avataras and the parables--the reader as he reads the passages should amply digest them to know the true purport of the suggestions, the lessons and the indications behind them. These are not just embellishments. They have a deep meaning under the surface. Attentive study of these shall spiritually inspire the reader more than the Kathas themselves.
