Guest guest Posted May 27, 2002 Report Share Posted May 27, 2002 Srimad-Bhagavatam 10 th Canto Told As Krsna's Pastimes Hare Krsna,this is a summary study of Srila Vasadeva's Srimad-Bhagavatam,Tenth canto,translated by His Divine Grace A.C.Bhaktivedanta Swami Prabhupada Im presenting this Pastime ,in 3-4 parts,so it wouldnt be, too long to read,Its alittle longer ,than usual,But When you read This,You will Be Very Happy!!Hare Krsna,Krsnajoe Performed by Sacrificial Ceremonies Vasudeva Pt 3 After first offering prayers to Lord Krsna, the assembled sages wanted to take permission from King Dhrtarastra and King Yudhisthira and then depart for their respective asramas. At that time, however, Vasudeva, the father of Lord Krsna and the most celebrated of all pious men, approached the sages and with great humility offered his respects by falling down at their feet. Vasudeva said, "My dear great sages, you are more respected than the demigods. I therefore offer my respectful obeisances unto you. I wish that you will accept my one request, if you so desire. I shall consider it a great blessing if you kindly explain the supreme fruitive activity by which one can counteract the reactions of all other activities." The great sage Narada was the leader of all the sages present there. Therefore he began to speak. "My dear sages," he said, "it is not very idifficult to understand that because of his great goodness and simplicity, Vasudeva, who has become the father of the Personality of Godhead, by accepting Krsna as his son, is inclined to ask us about his welfare. It is said that familiarity breeds contempt. As such, Vasudeva, having Krsna as his son, does not regard Krsna with awe and veneration. Sometimes it is seen that persons who are living on the bank of the Ganges do not consider the Ganges to be very important, and they go far away ,in order to take their baths at a place of pilgrimage. Being that Lord Krsna, whose knowledge is never second in any circumstances, is personally present, there is no need of Vasudeva's asking us for instruction. "Lord Krsna is not affected by the process of creation, maintenance and annihilation; His knowledge is never influenced by any agency beyond Himself. He is not agitated by the interaction of the material qualities, which changes things in the modes of time. His transcendental form is full of knowledge which never becomes agitated by ignorance, pride, attachment, envy or sense enjoyment. His knowledge is never subjected to the laws of karma regarding pious or impious activities; nor is it influenced by the three modes of material energy. No one is greater than or equal to Him, because He is the supreme authority, the Personality of Godhead.
