Srimad Bhagavatam (18 Volumes, Cantos 1-12) India BBT
Srimad-Bhagavatam (18 Volumes Set, English Translation by A.C. Bhaktivedanta Swami Prabhupada)
Srimad-Bhagavatam, known as the ripened fruit of the tree of Vedic literature, is the crown jewel of India’s spiritual wisdom. This 18-volume set, translated and explained by His Divine Grace A.C. Bhaktivedanta Swami Prabhupada, presents the essence of the Vedas in a clear and authoritative way.
Originally compiled by Srila Vyasadeva, the Bhagavatam covers universal subjects such as the nature of the soul and ultimate reality, the origin and purpose of creation, the transcendental pastimes of Lord Krishna, and the principles of devotion and spiritual life. Unlike sectarian texts, it goes beyond ritual and speculation, offering timeless knowledge for sincere seekers of truth.
Prabhupada’s detailed translations and purports make this edition especially valuable, guiding readers through complex philosophical concepts with clarity and practical insights for modern life. The complete 18-volume hardbound edition includes original Sanskrit verses with transliteration, English translation, and commentary, published by the Bhaktivedanta Book Trust.
A timeless addition to every spiritual library, temple, or home, this set is essential for scholars and seekers wishing to explore the deepest dimensions of Vedic wisdom.
The Bhagavatam's eighteen thousand verses consist of hundreds of conversations—spoken between yogis, sages, and self-realized kings of the ancient world—on how to achieve life's ultimate perfection. Their discussions frequently center on various incarnations of Krishna—the Supreme Person—and descriptions of His pastimes with His devotees. The entire work was compiled by Vyasadeva—editor of the Vedas—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—volumes—each of which deals with a specific aspect of the Absolute Truth, the original and supreme cause of all causes. The main theme running throughout the Bhagavatam is the science and practice of bhakti-yoga, devotional service to the Supreme Person.
