Srimad-Bhagavatam is a direct manifestation of the Supreme Lord. It is an ambrosial, overflowing ocean of supremely sweet nectarean love (prema-rasa) for the original Supreme Personality of Godhead (Svayam Bhagavan), that is, Vrajendra-nandana Sri Krsna, the personification of divine mellows. Rasika and bhavuka devotees absorbed in tasting the beauty of Krsnaâs pastimes, always drown in this ocean. Srimad-Bhagavatam is the fully ripened, juicy fruit of the desire tree of Vedic literature that comprises the entirety of Indian thought. Within Srimad-Bhagavatam, gopi-prema, the love of the cowherd maidens of Vraja, has been ascertained to be the ultimate objective. A few towering waves of gopi-prema can be seen from the Venu-gita portion of Srimad-Bhagavatam. Rasika devotees, who are seasoned in experiencing divine loving sentiments, drown themselves in these waves and even lose all consciousness of their own bodies. Greed to be immersed in this ambrosial ocean sprouts also in the hearts of the faithful devotees who are situated on the shore of this ocean.
