The Author of Srimadh Bagawatham:

Prior to leaving Earth, Lord Krishna instructed Srimadh Bagawatham to Udhavar. He promised to stay in the words of Srimadh Bagawatham. He consoled Udhavar and asked him to continue reading Srimadh Bagawatham till it was time for Udhavar to join the Lord at Sri Vaikuntham.

Udhavar was the cousin brother of Lord Krishna. From a very young age, Udhavar’s mother raised him by telling him anecdotes about his cousin who was living on the other side of Mathura in Gokulam. After Lord Krishna killed Kamsa, the cousins met for the first time. Since then Udhavar followed Lord Krishna like a shadow and never left His side.

Veda Vyasar Compiles Srimadh Bagawatham:

After completing his works on Mahabharatam and the classification of the Vedas into 4 Vedas, Sage Veda Vyasar still felt dissatisfied. He felt as if he had missed something great while writing Mahabharatam. At this moment Sage Naradar arrived at Sage Veda Vyasar’s ashramam.

Sage Naradar pointed out that Sage Veda Vyasar was feeling that his work was incomplete because he hadn’t described the Lord and His activities. Description of the Lord and His activities causes even the common man the desire to reach His divine feet. The joy of experiencing the Lord is the true joy which quells all kinds of distress. The sage then narrated about his past life to Sage Veda Vyasar.
