Sri Brhad Bhagavatamrta(Set of 3 Volumes) By Gopiparanadhana Dasa - Sri Brhad-Bhagavatamrta is an epic work composed in Sanskrit during the sixteenth century by Sanatana Goswami, one of Lord Chaitanya Mahaprabhu’s leading disciples. It is one of the first books written by any of the Six Goswamis of Vrindavan.
In Volume One of Sri Brhad-Bhagavatamrta, the great sage Narada, a pure devotee of Krishna, travels from earth to heaven and the spiritual world in search of the greatest recipient of Krishna’s mercy. As he proceeds on his journey, Narada meets many pure devotees of Krishna and gives evidence to show how that devotee has been favored by Krishna. Each devotee, embarrassed to hear himself praised, recommends that Narada visit another devotee.
Volume 2 begins with the path of perfection thread by Gopal Kumara. Everyone in the spiritual world is a pure devotee of the Lord, yet there are degrees of love of God. Thus Uttara, who has been hearing of Narada’s travels as related in Volume 1, suspects rightly that Krishna must have a place above Vaikuntha, where Krishna is worshiped in awe and reverence. In that higher place, devotees must be able to fully manifest the highest stages of more intimate love for Krishna. In confirmation, in this volume Parikshit begins relating Gopa Kumara’s wondrous journey to Goloka, the highest place of all.
Volume 3, the last of a three-volume set that gives the essence of the teachings of the Srimad-Bhagavatam in narrative format.
This volume will not disappoint those who have begun the journey with Gopa Kumara. His spiritual quest is the quest of every soul, and every soul will revel in pure happiness as Gopa Kumara reaches his final destination in Krishna’s embrace. Gopa Kumara’s journey is inspiring and points the way for each of us, encouraging us to mature and to purify our consciousness through the journey so that we too can share Gopa Kumara’s triumphant fulfillment of all desires.
