“That literature which is full of descriptions of the transcendental glories
of the name, fame, forms, pastimes, etc., of the unlimited Supreme Lord is
a different creation, full of transcendental words directed toward bringing
about a revolution in the impious lives of this world’s misdirected civilization.
Such transcendental literatures, even though imperfectly composed, are
heard, sung and accepted by purified men who are thoroughly honest.”
(Śrīmad-Bhāgavatam 1.5.11)
