Śrī Bṛhad-Bhāgavatāmṛta of Śrīla Sanātana Gosvāmī
Finding the Essence of the Supreme Lord's Mercy
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.
