In order to enjoy the nectar of Bhagwat katha three things are

essential for the listener; concentration of mind, purity of heart

and a favourably inclined contemplation. Favourably inclined

contemplation implies listening with a positive attitude. Such a

positive attitude is required in the case of listening to Bhagwat

katha because it is extremely beneficial for us in showing us the

path to salvation. It facilitates our emancipation. We can afford to

adopt an attitude of argumentation if something is being said against

our interest. But when something which is in our own ultimate

interest is being discussed it is only wise to adopt a positive

attitude.

 

Shrimad Bhagwat katha is not just a narration of God's glory. It is

the essence of all narratives His magnificence, the sum and substance

of Vedas and Upanishads. It depicts how the vivek (intellect) borne

out of Bhakti, Gyan and Vairagya can be enhanced. It shows how

devotees can liberate themselves from moha (attachments) and maya

(allurements). Therefore one should listen to it attentively with

total concentration. .

 

And why is it important for one to listen to it with total attention?

Here are four sound reasons for doing so. Firstly it is the essence

of all scriptures. Secondly it frees us from fear of this world.

Thirdly it enhances our devotion. And

fourthly, 'Krishnasantoshhetukam' i.e. it pleases and satisfies Lord

Shri Krishna. .

 

Read and listen to Shrimad Bhagwat katha as much as possible. It is

truly in our benefit.

 

With Blessings,

 

Bhaishri
