The Bhagavad katha was uttered on three occasions: between Narada Muni and Vyasadeva (Narada-Vyasa-Samvada); between Sukadeva Gosvami and Pariksit Maharaja (Suka-Pariksit-Samvada); between Suta Gosvami and Saunaka Rsi (Suta-Saunaka-Samvada).
⁠One should not hear about Bhagavatam from a non-devotee.

⁠There is only one process for us to understand God: complete surrender.
⁠Sloka: nāyam ātmā pravacanena labhyo (Katha Upanisad 1.2.23).

⁠We must know the true reason for birth in the human body.

⁠The best donation is that of Sri Bhagavad-katha because whoever listens becomes purified.

⁠About Krsna’s wonderful flute.
⁠The Srimad Bhagavatam is the highest Purana, among all the Scriptures it is Samraja!
⁠Song: Sita Ram Sita Ram Kahiye.
⁠Sloka: paritrāṇāya sādhūnāṁ (Bhagavad Gita 4.8).

⁠The three manifestations of Radha and the three manifestations of Krsna.
⁠Dhruva Maharaja katha; and the katha of Bhakti with her two sons: Jnana and Vairagya.
