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.
