By His Divine Grace A.C. Bhaktivedanta Swami Prabhupada

Srimad-Bhagavatam is the most complete and authoritative exposition of Vedic knowledge-covering everything from the nature of the self to the origin of the universe.

The first verse of Srimad-Bhagavatam makes clear that because the book is intended for people serious about spiritual progress, it will not deal with sectarian religious ideas, philosophical conjecture, or worldly concerns.

The second text promises that anyone who reads the book systematically will achieve the spiritual success meant for all human beings.
