Bhagavata Maha Purana (BMP) is foremost among 18 major Puranas (epics) in the Vedic tradition. It was composed in Sanskrit by sage Vedavyasa, an incarna- tion of Lord Almighty who also composed the great epic Mahabharata. This epic has 12 cantos with about 18000 verses. While the Vedas (which are not composed by anyone human or divine) contain the eternal truth about the Lord, universe, living beings, inert matter, and their interactions, they are often cryptic, numer- ous in number and are difficult for most people to understand. The puranas serve to convey the message in the Vedas using real life examples of the Lord's various incarnations over the ages. Tenth Canto (Dashama Skanda) While the Bhagavata Maha Purana has twelve cantos, the tenth canto is the largest (with about 4450 verses spread over 105 chapters) and has the authentic account of the incarnation of Lord Sri Krishna. The Lord Almighty has many incarnations and His incarnation as Sri Krishna is relevant for us as it is the most recent since it occurred in the age of Dwapara just before the current age of Kali. Hence it is around 5000 years old. It is no wonder that Hindu religious festivities, rituals, literature, and pilgrimage are majorly focused on Lord Sri Krishna. The Bhagavad Gita [BG], the song celestial, which has the sermon from Lord Krishna to Prince Arjuna is the most revered text among Hindu scriptures.
