Guest guest Posted September 27, 2001 Report Share Posted September 27, 2001 The passage you are looking for is the following, issued from the mouth of Sri Svarupa Damodara Gosvami in Caitanya Caritamrta, Antya 5.131: “yaha, bhagavata pada vaisnavera sthane ekanta asraya kara caitanya-carane “If you want to understand Srimad-Bhagavatam,” he said, “you must approach a self-realized Vaisnava and hear from him. You can do this when you have completely taken shelter of the lotus feet of Sri Caitanya Mahaprabhu.” >From the purport: "...Rather, Srimad-Bhagavatam (1.2.17) says, srnvatam sva-kathah krsnah punya-sravana-kirtanah: one should regularly hear Srimad-Bhagavatam from a self-realized Vaisnava. ... ....One should hear Srimad-Bhagavatam from a person who has no connection with material activities, or, in other words, from a paramahamsa Vaisnava, one who has achieved the highest stage of sannyasa." > New Delhi, INDIA > > Please accept my humble obeisances. All glories to Srila Prabhupada. > > There is a famous quote by Lord Caitanya: bhagavata paro diya bhagavata > sthane - "One should study Srimad Bhagavatam under a mahabhagavata > devotee". Where does it exactly appear in the scriptures? > > Thank you. > > Your servant > Madana-mohana das Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
