Srimad Bhagavatam Seitsemäs Laulu: Tiede Jumalasta
"Hyvä kuningas Yudhisthira, kerran demonien kuningas Hiranyakasipu nosti poikansa Prahladan syliinsä ja tiedusteli hyvin rakastavasti: Rakas poikani, kerro minulle, mikä on parasta kaikesta siitä, mitä sinä olet opettajiltasi kuullut."

Nykyään ihmisyhteiskunta ei enää elä pimeydessä, vaan päinvastoin: kautta maailman ihmiset ovat huimasti edistyneet aineellisten mukavuuksien, koulutuksen ja taloudellisen kehityksen suhteen. Yhteiskuntajärjestelmässä on kuitenkin jokin perusvika, jonka vuoksi mitättömistäkin asioista aiheutuu valtaisia riitaisuuksia. Tarvitsemme jonkin ratkaisun, joka yhdistäisi ihmiskunnan yhdessä pyrkimään kohti rauhaa, ystävyyttä ja hyvinvointia. Śrīmad Bhāgavatam palvelee tätä tarkoitusta, sillä siinä kuvaillaan koko ihmisyhteiskunnan henkistämiseen tähtäävää kulttuuria.
Śrīmad Bhāgavatam on "Veeda-kirjallisuuden puun kypsä hedelmä" ja samalla kaikkein täydellisin ja arvovaltaisin esitys Veeda-tietoudesta, joka käsittelee inhimillisen viisauden kaikkia eri aloja.

About the author
A.C. Bhaktivedanta
371 books733 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.

Srila Prabhupada is the greatest gift of God to this material world and fallen souls like us.
If anyone can take complete benefit from the divine messages through his books, one will undoubtedly cross over this ocean of miseries and transcend over the miserable cycle of repeated births and deaths.

Words are not enough...
Words cannot justify the transcendental nature of the book Bhagavata and the person Bhagavata -Srila Prabhupada who has penned the purports and the translation.
