Behold, my sons, the glory of chanting the name of Hari — by which even Ajāmila was freed from the noose of death!

Source

A curated selection of the most spiritually and philosophically luminous verses of the Bhāgavata Purāṇa (Śrīmad Bhāgavatam) — one of the eighteen great Purāṇas and the foundational scripture of the bhakti (devotional) tradition — spanning all twelve cantos, from the opening invocation and Sūta's teaching on selfless devotion, through Kapila's yoga, Prahlāda's prayers, and Gajendra's surrender, to the Uddhava Gītā. Each verse is a fresh, faithful contemporary English rendering made directly from the Sanskrit and checked for fidelity by an independent adversarial review (no clause omitted, nothing added, no meaning reversed).
