Choice magazine, June, 1975

"In the diversity of religious approaches offered by the yogis of India, the most significant, of course, is the way of Krsna consciousness. It is amazing to see how Sri Bhaktivedanta Swami has in less than ten years succeeded, by his personal devotion, untiring energy and efficient direction, in organizing theInternational Society for Krishna Consciousness.Now, he has undertaken the stupendous project of rendering the entireBhagavata,the great devotional classic of India, into English. His edition is learning blended with devotional feeling and inspired by a definite purpose of communicating the intense Iyrical and devotional quality of theBhagavata.Srila Prabhupada has done an excellent service by his able rendition of 'the abode of divine joy' that theBhagavatais."

Dr. Mahesh Mehta, Professor of Asian Studies
University of Windsor, Ontario, Canada

"It is axiomatic that no book can be expected entirely to satisfy all its potential readers. Here is one, however, which can be said to come remarkably close to that ideal....we have here the ideal of what an edition of a Sanskrit text for a Western audience should be."

Dr. R. E. Asher
Professor of Linguistics, University of Edinburgh

"...For those who have no access to the Sanskrit language, these books convey, in superb manner, the message of theBhagavatam.In addition to being a scholarly work, it directly reflects the spiritual aspirations of a religious community which has gained considerable popularity in modern America."

Dr. Alaka Hejib
