I dont know why my heart has been stirred to read so much scripture, I am a wretch and it barely touches my heart and then only by grace

I know I criticized the bhagavata purana a lot but the parts about krishna are excellent. I also really like the story of gajendra.

theres something very compelling about reading about incarnations of God who are perceived as regular humans by the other people in the story. its like being let in on a divine secret. christians and hindus have both felt this enchantment!

bhaktas in the bhagavata purana:
those who know the atman see no difference between any embodied beings including themselves, they transcend all dualities, they see God in everything and everything in God
also bhaktas in the bhagavata purana: o heroic king! o twice-born brahmana!
if you think the divine right of kings exists in medieval Christianity, it sure does it exist in medieval Hinduism...

hate to say it but its so obvious this purana is mostly not of (direct) divine origin but was written by brahmana ascetic (males ofc). it shows such a contempt for the householder stage of life and despite being about bhakti which transcends all categories of birth it is deeply sexist and casteist.
