Bhagavatam is van-mayi-murti. One should be in anugatya (under the guidance) to achieve one’s goals. If a sinned person looks at God, he will not feel the bliss of God’s darshana. The pastimes of Shurpanakha: her origin, love for Vidurya, desire to kill Ravana. Question: Did Vyasadeva write any other scripture after he wrote Srimad-Bhagavatam? Dharma, artha, kama and moksha is not our goal. We want krishna-prema. The pastimes of Arjuna, who failed to protect the sons of a brahmana. On...
Sloka: jīvera ‘svarūpa’ haya — kṛṣṇera ‘nitya-dāsa’ (CC Madhya-lila 20.108-109). A surprising effect of Kali-yuga: it is easier to sell alcoholic drinks than milk. The song Jiv Jago Jiv Jago says: jīv jāgo, jīv jāgo, gauracānda bole kota nidrā jāo māyā-piśācīra kole — “Lord Gauranga is calling: Wake up, sleeping souls! Wake up, sleeping souls! How long will you sleep in the lap of the witch called Maya?” Sloka: nāma cintāmaṇiḥ kṛṣṇaś (CC Madhya-lila 17.133). Story of the two brahmanas, one poor...

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. Sloka: jīvera ‘svarūpa’ haya — kṛṣṇera ‘nitya-dāsa’ (CC Madhya-lila 20.108–109).
