From the sweet ocean of Srila Visvanatha Cakravartipada’s tikas on Srimad Bhagavatam, we have collected some of the most rare and incredibly amazing jewels—each one glittering with a uniquely soothing and enlightening effulgence. So now please bask in their beneficial rays and rejuvenate your soul! For easier understanding and reference the gems are presented by category.

“What is the meaning of the Srimad Bhagavatam (1.1.3) phrase: rasikā bhuvi bhāvukāḥ?
Bhuvi means Vraja-bhumi. Bhāvukāḥ and rasikāḥ means the beloved gopis.
So dear readers and relishers of Krishna’s rasa, become just like the Vraja-gopis and drink and relish the sweetness of the rasa arising from Krishna in the form of the Bhagavata up to the point of embracing (alayam) Krishna, pibata bhāgavatam rasam ālayam.

“Srimad Bhagavatam is also glorified here as the mature fruit of the desire tree of the Vedas, nigama-kalpa-taror galitaṁ phalaṁ.

“The phrase nigama-kalpa-taror galitaṁ phalam means that rāgānuga-bhakti is the fully ripened fruit on the tree of the Vedas, because raganuga bhaktas follow the loving sentiments of the Vraja-gopis, which is the fully ripened, prema-phala revealed in the Tenth Canto of the Srimad Bhagavatam!”
Srimad Bhagavatam ki jai! Srila Visvanatha Cakravarti ki jai! Raganuga-bhakti ki jai!
