Anthropologist Applauds Śrīmad-Bhāgavatam
Anthropologist Applauds Srimad-Bhagavatam
How did the ancients live, and what could they teach us about living? With so much interest today in the cultural riches of "lost" civilizations. Doctor Thomas J. Maloney, Professor of Anthropology at Southern Illinois University, has this to say about Srimad-Bhagavatam, translation and commentary by His Divine Grace A.C. Bhaktivedanta Swami Prabhupada:
"As a text to be studied by anthropology students, this work has some very attractive points. It is always difficult to see things from the cultural viewpoint of others, but this work makes this empathetic view much easier. The vivid illustrations add to the easy transference from one culture to the other.... The 'working' translation and the more poetic English version are, of course, invaluable, and the purports are of great value...."
