“Given the importance of the Bhagavata Purana and the increase in general interest in its content, study guides such as the present publication are to be enthusiastically welcomed by students of the text. The initial two volumes of Bhagavata Subodhini, comprising the first three skandhas of the Bhagavata, offer a chapter-by-chapter analysis, with a more detailed focus on the most significant verses. Such volumes will be most useful for classes and workshops.”

“I found Bhagavata Subodhini very interesting and useful, for it presents the contents of Bhagavatam in a systematic and lucid manner. I am very happy that the devotees in our society are producing such wonderful literature based on Srila Prabhupada’s books and commentaries of other acharyas. I like the fact that in one book I have access to commentaries of different acharyas, that too presented in an interesting tabular format, which made it easy and clear to read. This book is like a Bhagavatam digest. It helps preachers in their presentations on Bhagavatam. I wish I had access to such books before. I encourage devotees to come together, for this kind of study and contemplation on the Bhagavatam.”

“Srila Prabhupada has left for us a treasure house of literature, which is the essence of the Vedas. To unpack it more into details of what is being said and the congruency of how that knowledge is being presented is nicely done in this Bhagavata Subodhini. It is a very noble attempt. I find the Subodhini series a great aid in making our presentation more complete and interesting – both for the students and the teachers and for general audience who are interested in going deeper into the philosophy and practice of Krishna Consciousness. Subodhini will help people get attracted to study Srila Prabhupada’s works, and in a more easily understandable way. It is a great project, and we commend the devotees who are doing such hard work.”

“It is a guide, I use to get a bird’s eye view of a chapter, to spot out diamond like sections for deeper contemplation and nectar like slokas for relishing and repeating to others. It has increased my appetite for Bhagavatam study and gain great spiritual advantage. Thanks to Bhaktivedanta Vidyapitha Research Center for the dedicated efforts in making Srila Prabhupada’s masterpiece work easy and accessible for all.”
