Unlike the Bhagavata Purana (Srimad Bhagavatam), which covers the 10th Canto extensively, the Garga Samhita focuses specifically on the pastimes (lilas) of Lord Krishna’s childhood in Vrindavana, particularly the Rasa-lila and the intimate pastimes of Radha and Krishna. While Srila Prabhupada primarily emphasized the Srimad-Bhagavatam and the Bhagavad-gita As It Is , he did not reject other Puranas. In fact, Srila Prabhupada quoted from the Garga Samhita several times in his purports. For example, he cited it to explain the supreme purity of Vrindavana and the specific details of Krishna’s early childhood pastimes. Note: Always check with your local ISKCON temple
