A Study of the Bhâgavata Purâna; or, Esoteric Hinduism by Pürnendu Narayana Sinha
"A Study of the Bhâgavata Purâna; or, Esoteric Hinduism" by Pürnendu Narayana Sinha is a scholarly work written in the early 20th century. This publication analyzes the Bhâgavata Purâna, one of the most revered texts in Hinduism, particularly among devotees of Lord Vishnu. The book explores the significance, themes, and teachings of this ancient scripture in the context of esoteric Hinduism." "At the start of the study, the author provides a preface
addressing the importance of the Bhâgavata Purâna, citing its popularity and the respect it commands within the Hindu community. The text emphasizes the Purâna's central theme of devotion (Bhakti) towards Bhagavân, or the Supreme Being, and discusses critiques it has faced from scholars unfamiliar with its religious context. The beginning further presents a discourse between the sage Vyâsa and the sage Nârada, where they delve into the essence and purpose of the Bhâgavata, setting the stage for a deeper exploration of its philosophical and spiritual teachings."
