Srimad Bhagavatam Canto 1 (Hindi)

Srimad-Bhagavatam is the most complete and authoritative exposition of Vedic knowledge-covering everything from the nature of the self to the origin of the universe.

The first verse of Srimad-Bhagavatam makes clear that because the book is intended for people serious about spiritual progress, it will not deal with sectarian religious ideas, philosophical conjecture, or worldly concerns.

The second text promises that anyone who reads the book systematically will achieve the spiritual success meant for all human beings. Look out for

? ancient atomic calculations of time
? accurate astronomical readings taken 5,000 years ago
? descriptions of life on other planets
? detailed study of the development of the embryo in the womb from the moment of conception Buddha’s arrival predicted 2,500 years earlier

We must know the present need of human society. And what is that need? Human society is no longer bounded by geographical limits to particular countries or communities. Human society is broader than in the Middle Ages, and the world tendency is toward one state or one human society. The ideals of spiritual communism, according to ?r?mad-Bh?gavatam, are based more or less on the oneness of the entire human society, nay, of the entire energy of living beings. The need is felt by great thinkers to make this a successful ideology. ?r?mad-Bh?gavatam will fill this need in human society. It begins, therefore, with the aphorism of Vedanta philosophy janm?dy asya yata? to establish the ideal of a common cause.
Human society, at the present moment, is not in the darkness of oblivion. It has made rapid progress in the field of material comforts, education and economic development throughout the entire world. But there is a pinprick somewhere in the social body at large, and therefore there are large-scale quarrels, even over less important issues. There is need of a clue as to how humanity can become one in peace, friendship and prosperity with a common cause. ?r?mad-Bh?gavatam will fill this need, for it is a cultural presentation for the re-spiritualization of the entire human society.
