The Bhagavata Purana (Bhagavat Puran vol.2) is one of the eighteen Puranas of the Hindus. It is also called Srimad Bhagavatam or simply Bhagavatam. Apart from this, the devotion of Ras Bhava has also been described in this Purana. Therefore the main theme of the Bhagavata Purana is Bhakti Yoga. Traditionally, the author of this Purana is considered to be Ved Vyas. A detailed description of the incarnations of Lord Vishnu is found in the Bhagavata Purana. The Bhagavata Purana was first narrated by Shukdevji to king Parikshit. Maharishi asks Sutji about the 12 incarnations of Lord Vishnu by sage sages. Sutji says that I had heard this story from Shukdevji. I tell you this, and thus begins the Bhagavatam.

It is said in Bhagavata Purana that…
Sarvvedantasaram hi Shri Bhagavatamishyate.
Tadrasamritatriptasya nanyatra syadratih kavita.
Srimad Bhagavatam is the essence of all the Vedas. A person who has become satisfied by drinking this Rasamrit, that person cannot take pleasure in any other thing.
