Srimad Bhagavata: Saptaha

Lord Śrīman Nārāyaṇa, having created the universe composed Śrīmad Bhāgavata Mahāpurāṇa, known as the "King of Purāṇas" for the upliftment of all noble souls. In the form of Vēdavyāsadēva, Lord Śrīman Nārāyaṇa composed it and imparted its teachings to the world through Shukāchārya. Vēdavyāsadēva himself has described it as the fruit filled with the nectar of the Kalpavriksha called the Vēdas.

This Purāṇa, comprising twelve cantos (Skandhas), contains 18,000 verses.. It's traditionally attributed to the sage Vyasa, and the text is presented as a conversation between King Parīkshit and the sage Shuka, who narrates the stories to Parikshit before his impending death.While the Bhāgavata contains stories of Śrī Krishṇa and various devotees of the Lord, each story contains a deep spiritual truth or philosophical insight, which makes it a superior scripture and is accessible only to the most fortunate souls. It possesses the divine power to navigate the vast ocean of Jñāna (wisdom) through Vairāgya (detachment) and Bhakti (devotion).

Another important aspect is that the Lord Himself, before the end of the Dwāpara Yuga, declared that He would be there in the Bhāgavata during the Kali Yuga. That is why all believers consider that Krishṇa is truly present in the Bhāgavata.

The old belief that holy scriptures are meant only for a learned few has gone now. Great knowledge has to flow from all the sources to all the corners in understandable post-modern language.

To make this into reality Dr. Ravindra A Kushtagi has made a sincere attempt to present an English version of Śrīmad Bhāgavata Saptāha in a way that ignites devotion and spiritual enthusiasm and is recited in seven-days (Saptāha)
