krsna Posted May 1, 2007 Report Share Posted May 1, 2007 In his purport to Srimad Bhagavatam 3.5.7 His Divine Grace A.C. Bhaktivedanta Swami Prabhupada has described the nature of KRSNA-katha: People are inclined to hear pleasing narrations and stories, and therefore there are so many books, magazines and newspapers on the market to satisfy the interests of the developed soul. But the pleasure in such literature, after it is read once, becomes stale, and people do not take interest in reading such literature repeatedly. The case is similar with all mundane literatures. But the beauty of transcendental literatures like Bhagavad-gita and Srimad Bhagavatam is that they never become old. They have been relished by saintly persons in India for the last five thousand years, and they have never become old. Such literatures are ever fresh and even by daily repetition of the verses of Bhagavad-gita and Srimad Bhagavatam, there is no satiation for devotees...
