Brihad Bhagavatamrita is the key to the discovery of India’s national heritage. It represents the pathway to the entrance of the spiritual world. This book was written in Sanscript 500 years ago by one of the six Goswamies of Vrindaban. Sanatana Goswami, who was directed to write this book for the benefit of all mankind by Lord Caitanya Mahaprabhu God Himself, incarnated as a devotee.
As you may know, He is Krsna Himself, appearing in W. Bengal, Mayapur to show the pathway back home back to His abode, Goloka Vrindaban. The words are sacred and divinely inspired by God Himself. There is a matter of responsibility for all of mankind, especially all Indians, to realise this message is the absolute truth and to propagate this sacred work throughout the world.
