Vedas are the most ancient scriptures in the world. Later, different sages in different places and at different times summarized the Vedas into Upanishads. In the Puranas, meanings of the Vedas and Upanishads are explained in the form of interesting stories. Of the eighteen Puranas, Srimad Bhagavatam is the most celebrated.
This great Purana incorporates fourteen Gitas, which are spread out in different cantos. There are eighteen thousand verses in the Bhagavatam, organized in twelve cantos. The eleventh canto contains the Uddhava Gīta, which is the advice given by Lord Kṛṣna to his devotee Uddhava. It includes three separate Gitas within it. The other Gitas are seen in the earlier cantos.
All of them are greatly beneficial in cleansing the human mind. Reading, understanding and contemplating on the ideas and ideals contained in them will provide everlasting happiness to mankind, leading to enlightenment and ultimate liberation.
