# Glorious Bhagavatam We want happiness, but first we must know who we are. To understand ourselves, we must identify our origin. When the sun rises, we automatically see ourselves – similarly, when we find God, we discover our true self. That’s why this book is so exceptional. Srila Vyasadeva, the great sage and author of Srimad-Bhagavatam, first brings our attention to Lord Krishna. He is the source of everything, the director of the material cosmos and the superlative enjoyer in His own abode. Through the teachings of Srimad-Bhagavatam, one can capture Krishna within the heart. The purity of this book is unparalleled since it sidelines all materialistic ideas, uproots all miseries and clearly distinguishes reality from illusion. Srila Vyasadeva, a literary giant, compiled it at the summit of his spiritual maturity, and it’s so comprehensive that nothing else is needed to achieve perfection. It is the mature fruit of the tree of Vedic knowledge, crystallising the essence of all wisdom. The author invites the reader to relish this masterpiece, which will surely trigger a revolution of consciousness within the individual, and indeed society at large. --- # Agent Instructions: Querying This Documentation If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.
