About the author
A.C. Bhaktivedanta
813 books716 followersHis Divine Grace Abhay Charanaravinda Bhaktivedanta Swami Prabhupada (अभय चरणारविन्द भक्तिवेदान्त स्वामी प्रभुपाद)was born as Abhay Charan De on 1 September 1896 in Calcutta, India.
He first met his spiritual master, Srila Bhaktisiddhanta Sarasvati Gosvami, in Calcutta in 1922. Bhaktisiddhanta Sarasvati, a prominent devotional scholar and the founder of sixty-four branches of Gaudiya Mathas (Vedic institutes), liked this educated young man and convinced him to dedicate his life to teaching Vedic knowledge in the Western world. Srila Prabhupada became his student, and eleven years later (1933) at Allahabad, he became his formally initiated disciple.
At their first meeting, in 1922, Srila Bhaktisiddhanta Sarasvati Thakura requested Srila Prabhupada to broadcast Vedic knowledge through the English language. In the years that followed, Srila Prabhupada wrote a commentary on the Bhagavad-gita and in 1944, without assistance, started an English fortnightly magazine.
In the last ten years of his life, in spite of his advanced age, Srila Prabhupada circled the globe twelve times on lecture tours that have took him to six continents. In spite of such a vigorous schedule, Srila Prabhupada continued to write prolifically. His writings constitute a veritable library of Vedic philosophy, religion, literature and culture.

The usual stuff in the previous Bhagavatams. Very biased towards Prabhupad's views. Interpolations. Brahminical ideology. Krishna devotion. You get the drift.
It also talks about the origin of Shiva and Brahma, Brahma's sons the Sanat-Kumara, Saraswati. That was interesting to read

Vidura meets Maitreya Rsi and asks him about cosmic manifestation. The Rsi overjoyed to be speaking about the Lord and starts narrating the story of Brahma’s appearance and Brahma’s view of the world hd is in. Brahma realizes Lord Krsna is the Supreme Personality of Godhead and writes Sri Brahma-samhita singing His praises.

Except for Srila Prabhupada's obvious sectarian bias and some purposeful misinterpretations, the translation, in general, is fine.
