Skandam 11 of the Srimad‑Bhagavatam, attributed to Vyāsa, preserves Krishna’s final discourse—the Uddhava‑gītā—and the aftermath of His departure. Rooted in Puranic tradition, it blends cosmology, ethics and devotional psychology: teaching detachment, the nature of māyā, the self’s immortality, and the art of living in the world while beholding God. Key themes include bhakti (devotional service), jñāna and vairāgya (knowledge and renunciation), the role of the guru and holy association, and compassionate duty in family life. Today its practical, consoling counsel helps seekers navigate grief, moral dilemmas and the tension between worldly obligations and inner freedom, offering a timeless manual for living with devotion and equanimity.
