Hare Krishna. Dandavat Pranam to Bhagavan Sri Krishna and all Vaishnavas,

 

Srimad Bhagavatam is the last of the eighteen Mahapuranas written by Sage Veda Vyasa . This is the only book that describes in detail the sportive incarnations of the Supreme God . It was handed over by Bhagavan Sri Krishna to His disciple Uddhava just before His divine ascent to Vaikunta . Krishna advised that , Bhagavatam would be a substitute for His physical presence and would serve as the remedy for all miseries of Kali-yuga . Bhagavatam 6.30 states " Here is Sri Krishna Himself manifest before us under the name of Bhagavatam ; I have sought You , O Lord ! for being rescued from mundane existence ! ).

 

One who reads a chapter, or at least a Sloka every day will receive Bhagavan's blessings .

 

`Narayaneeyam' is a condensation of Bhagavatam . All the 18,000 slokas of Bhagavatam are condensed into 1036 slokas, by ensuring the divinity as it is . This was made possible by Bhagavan Sri Krishna Himself who had listened every sloka patiently giving corrections and node of approval .

 

It is not easy for ordinary Krishna-bhaktas to read and understand the 18,000 slokas of Bhagavatam . For eradicating the physical and mental woes of such Bhaktas, Sri Krishna has mercifully arranged to provide `Narayaneeyam' through His devotee-instrument Brahmasree. Bhattatiri .

 

Narayaneeyam Dasakam 90 , Sloka 2 , 3 & 5 says :

 

" What is said to be the Pentad comprising the Trimurtis of Brahma, Vishnu and Siva with Iswara and Sadasiva , the principle of Sadasiva is You alone of the form of the Supreme Self . As for the principle of Iswara in that Pentad , He is also You alone (Who is the resident of Vaikunta-loka) . Again , You manifest Yourself as the three states of the Trimurtis in the 3 divisions of Sattya-loka namely Brahma-loka , Vishnu-loka and Rudra-loka .

 

Among the three Gods known as Trimurtis , Your manifestation in Suddha-sattva form is called Vishnu . Brahma , on the other hand is deficient in Sattva-guna and is full of Rajo-guna . In Your manifestation as Siva , there is a combination of Sattva-guna and Tamo-guna" .

 

Acharya Adi Sankara too honours You alone as first among all Deities . He for instance has interpreted `Sahasranama' and the like as pertaining to You alone . And in the end he attained liberation, being engrossed in praise of You " .

 

Om Namo Bhagavate Vasudevaya!!!
