Bhagabata Purana discusses a wide range of topics like cosmology, genealogy, geography, mythology, legend, music, dance, yoga and culture.

The illustrious origin of this great treatise goes back to the bank of the holy Ganges where Srimad Bhagabata came out of the lips of Sukadeva in the spiritual fiesta organized by king Parikshita.

The Bhagabata is a bhakti text, with an emphasis on achieving moksha through cultivating a personal relationship with Vishnu in the form of Krishna.

The Bhagabata declares itself the essence of all the Upanishads and derivative Smritis. The Srimad Bhagabata is the very essence of all the Vedanta literature.

The Bhagabata is widely recognized as the best known and most influential of the Puranas. It is sometimes referred to as the "Fifth Veda".Bhagabata is important in Indian religious literature for its emphasis on the practice of devotion.
