This book was originally authored and published when Satyanarayana Dasa Babaji was a member of ISKCON (International Society of Kṛṣṇa Consciousness) as a Centennial offering for Śrīla Prabhupāda, the Founder-Ācārya of ISKCON.
It is a small and easy-to-ready book in glorification of Śrīmad Bhāgavata based on the translation of six chapters of the Padma Purāṇa, Uttara-khaṇḍa. It narrates the allegorical story of Bhakti personified, who becomes afflicted by the age of Kali and then rejuvenated by sage Nārada Muni. It also contains other stories that illustrate the auspiciousness of hearing the Bhāgavata in the age of Kali.
This new edition contains modifications where clarity was needed, along with style and formatting changes that fit the current Jīva Style Guide. Unlike its original counterpart, the revised version comes in hard cover, which adds well to its look and feel and hopefully makes it more enjoyable to the readers.
The authority of the Guru is coming from sastra only. Guru and sastra are not independent. They go together. Guru is the embodiment of sastra. You will not know sastra because you are going to study it with your samskaras. You need a Guru who has risen above that conditioning and who can give you the light of the sastra.
