Srimad Bhagavatam

[Guest guest]

Dear All,

 

Our Sanatana Dharma proclaims that the goal of human

birth is to get out of the cycle of births and deaths.

The Vedas, Upanishads, and Puranas and all conceivable

religious literature lay stress on this purpose of

human birth.

 

To attain or reach such goal, several ways have been

prescribed; for instance, Bhagavat Gita, which is a

compendium of the dialogue between Lord Krishna and

His Protégé Arjuna on the battle field of Kurukshetra,

says that Karma, Jnana and Bhakti are the three

principal ways of reaching the goal of human birth.

 

In practice, we find that it is rather difficult, nay,

impossible to tread any of the three paths stated

above, having regard to the materialistic way of life

being lived and adopted by us. In such a situation are

we helpless? Is there no way of redemption for us?

 

Sri Sri Muralidhara Swamiji advises us that there is

indeed a solution which can be followed by one and

all.

 

His Holiness, who has Himself attained the Eternal

Bliss of Communion with the Lord, prescribes the

reading of Srimad Bhagavatam as a panacea for our

immediate problems of life and also as a path for

attaining the goal of human birth.

 

The instances of King Parikshit who was cursed to die

on the seventh day on being bitten by the serpent king

Thakshaka, and one Dhundukari, who was moving around

as an evil spirit, are examples of those who were

liberated by merely listening to the exposition of

Srimad Bhagavatam. According to Him, if mere listening

to Srimad Bhagavatam can take one to such dizzy

heights, the efficacy of study of Srimad Bhagavatam

need not be emphasized.

 

In the words of His Holiness, Srimad Bhagavatam is

verily the Lord Himself and it glorifies the Names of

the Lord as well as the efficacy of chanting of the

Names of the Lord. His Holiness instances the story of

Ajamila, a Brahmin by birth, who, having fallen into

evil ways cried out for his son Narayana by name at

the time of Ajamila’s death and was liberated.

 

Therefore, His Holiness, a practical philosopher that

He is, asserts categorically that a true religion must

necessarily provide a practical mode of redemption for

the man-in-the-street as well as the down trodden; if

it does not, it is no religion, says His Holiness.
