The Srimad-Bhagavatam (translated from Sanskrit as “The All-Beautiful Narrative of the Supreme Lord and His Devotees”) was written down around the third millennium BC. In this multi-volume work, Srila Vyasadeva, its author, brought together all the philosophical conclusions of the Vedas, which is why Srimad-Bhagavatam is also called the “cream” of Vedic wisdom. The Srimad-Bhagavatam was revealed to the Western world through translations and commentaries by the representative of the Vedic tradition, His Divine Grace A.C. Bhaktivedanta Swami Prabhupada. It includes the fifth canto, “Creative Impulse” (chapters 1-13).
