Jasomatinandan Prabhu on Srila Prabhupada and Bhagavat Saptaha

[Guest guest]

I thought the actual Bhagavat saptaha is following the footsteps of Sukadeva

Goswami and Pariksit Maharaja. That is there is continuos speaking and

hearing for seven days without eating and sleeping. Anything less than that

is not Bhagavat-saptaha, but an immitation. Another point is after hearing

the real Bhagavat-saptaha, the hearer becomes free from all material

contamination and becomes free from material existence. Srila Prabhupada

emphasizes again and again in his purports to the Srimad Bhagavatam that

there must be purity of the speakers and the hearers. Practically all the

Bhagavat-saptaha reciters I have seen are merely interested in impressing

the audience with their learning of Bhagavatam.
