These translated lectures comprise the immaculate commentary of Śrīla Bhaktivedānta Nārāyana Gosvāmī Mahārāja on Śrīla Sanātana Gosvāmīpāda's Śrī Bṛhad-bhāgavatāmṛta. Descriptions given tell how, having recently arrived in Śrī Vaikuṇṭha-dhāma, the most desirable of places and which entrance into is sought after by unlimited saintly persons, Gopa-kumāra is feeling despondent and cannot even ascertain the cause of his own dissatisfaction. At that time he is approached by Śrī Nārada Ṛṣi, who becomes his śikṣa-guru (instructing spiritual master) and enlightens him with the fundamental truths necessary to complete his spiritual journey.
