Lectures and Commentaries on Srimad Bhagavatam Canto 3, made in Vrindavan (India)
The purpose of Śrīmad Bhāgavatam is to glorify the Supreme Absolute Truth, known as Śrī Kṛṣṇa, for the benefit of the suffering humanity. Śrī Vyāsa himself calls this Purāṇa the ripened fruit of the Vedic tree and compares it to the personification of rasa, or devotional relish. It is to be tasted by the rasikas, the connoisseurs of rasa, and relished by the sahṛdayas, the sober-hearted people or those whose hearts are imbued with sattva (SB 1.1.3)
The Sandarbhas are very brilliant work, and for me, they are the love of my life. When I heard about it, I wanted to study but I didn’t know where I would find the book or how because I was in Detroit. But somehow, by Krishna’s grace, I landed up in Vrindavan and I studied this by a great follower of Jiva Gosvami. So this is my great fortune and I took it as my life mission to read and comment on The Sandarbhas.
