It is exactly like amrita, for by hearing its recitation we can cross beyond birth and death. There are ten subject matters and when studied together, these ten subject matters fully establish the Supreme personality of Godhead, Bhagavan Sri Krishna, as the transcendental Absolute Truth. Join us to deep dive and experience transcendental wisdom as explained in the great classic text, Srimad Bhagavatam.
