In volume 1 of Śrī Bṛhad-Bhāgavatāmṛta, the great sage Nārada, a pure devotee of Kṛṣṇa, travels from earth to heaven to the spiritual world in search of the greatest recipient of Kṛṣṇa's mercy. As he proceeds, he meets a number pure devotees of Kṛṣṇa and gives evidence to show how each of them has been favored by Kṛṣṇa. The devotees, embarrassed to hear themselves praised, recommend that Nārada visit another devotee.
Nārada sees greater and greater manifestations of Kṛṣṇa's mercy, until he finds those pure souls who embody the complete manifestation of it: the exalted gopīs of Vraja.
Join Nārada on his quest and discover his awe, love, and deepest appreciation as he grasps the gopīs‘ position as Kṛṣṇa's best devotees.
Gopīparāṇadhana Dāsa (1950-2011) was both a scholar of Sanskrit and a practitioner of devotional service to Lord Kṛṣṇa. Under the guidance of His Divine Grace A. C. Bhaktivedanta Swami Prabhupāda, he developed an expertise in Sanskrit and served for many years as an editor for the Bhaktivedanta Book Trust. When Śrīla Prabhupāda passed away, Gopīparāṇadhana served on the three-man team that completed Śrīla Prabhupāda's edition of /"Śrīmad-Bhāgavatam"/. In 1998 he and his family moved to Govardhana, the place of Śrī Kṛṣṇa's pastimes located in northern India, and an important place of pilgrimage for the followers of the Vaiṣṇava tradition. There he spent the last twelve years of his life, translating and training a new generation of devotional scholars at the Śrīmad-bhāgavata Vidyāpiṭham, a school he established for this purpose. Among his most significant literary contributions are the translations of the /"Tattva-sandabha"/, /"Bṛhad-bhāgavatāmṛta"/, and /"Kṛṣṇa Līlā Stava"/.
