About Bhagwat Mahapuran

Bhagwat Puran - Bhagavata Purana - श्रीमद्‌ भागवत पुराण

The Bhagavata Purana ( भागवतपुराण ) also known as the Bhagavatamahapuranam, Srimad Bhagavatam (श्रीमद् भागवतम्), Srimad Bhagavata Mahapurana, or simply Bhagavata, is one of Hinduism's 18 great Puranas (or Mahapuranas, meaning 'great histories').
Originally composed in Sanskrit, this most studied, popular, revered, and influential Purana is an epic Vaishnava poem consisting of 18,000 shlokas (or verses) over 12 skandhas (or cantos). Its interconnected and interwoven narratives, teachings, and explanations focus on the forms (or avatars) of Vishnu particularly Krishna as the ultimate, primeval, transcendental source of the multiverse (including the demigods and gods such as Vishnu) – as well as the lives of his greatest devotees.
