Episode Synopsis
Shrimad Bhagavata MahapuranaSynopsis of the Second SessionBhagavat Mahatmay Shri Guru Charan saroj raja,neej manu mukur sudari.Baranau raghubar bimal jasu,jo dayaku fal chari.Hanumanji, with the dust of your feet, we cleanse our heart, our very being. To make us fit to recite and hear the glories of Shri Hari. His Glories give us the eternal fruits. The fruit of Satya, Tapas, Dana and Sochya. If one hold on to even one of the four, the other three will follow and the the doors of Vaikuth are bound to open.Dear Lord, this finite perishable being, is going to attempt to sing glories of you, The Infinite. You ,whom some define as not this, not this and some as, this also, this also. Whose end nobody has been able to reach. May your grace flow. - May our attention be like Arjun who aimed for the eye of the birds.- May our learning be like Yudhishthira, who refused to utter a simple shloka without internalising and implement it. - May we be like the Sun, discipled in our Sadhna - May we be like Shiva, ever awake and alert in midst of darkness of Vices.- May we build our material world, on the spiritual base, which simply put says, “All Good = God”.- May we dwell in ‘Pratiksa’. Have the patience to wait as long as it takes, till the truth is revealed. - May we have the urge to be with you all the time. Till we start seeing you in everything and every action becomes an act of devotion.—————————————————“Bhagwata is my Bow, I am the Arrow and I aim to reach you My Lord”We can sum up the Bhagwata or any other granth, in two lines;“Parahit kar baan prabhu ka aabhari.Parapida/paraninda saam paap nahin bhari”To reach this state in thought word and deed, simply put is the Mahatmaye of Bhagwata.—————————————————Bhawatam was narrated for the first time to dispel Gloom, and re-narrated to establish the Listner in ‘Chid Ananad’ - “Never Ending Bliss”.- The Infinite power narrated it to Brahma (4 Shloka)- Narada Muni to Veda Vyasa (4 Shlokas)- Shivji to Paravati and Sukhdevji- Veda Vyasa to Sukhdev Muni (18000 shlokas)From 4 Shloka, ‘The Chatusloki Bhagwata’, Veda Vyasa went on to expand it to 12 Books, 332 Chapter and 18000 Shlokas (verses). It takes at least 30 hours to read the Sanskrit Verses.If it can dispel the vacuum of Brahma and Veda Vyasa, we can be freed of our impending vacuum as well. Are we not always in a state of flux, moving from momentary joys to sorrow.“Saab kuch hai mere paas, najane kya hai khoya.Khusiyo ki nikli barat,aur mera dil roya.Najane kesi jang Laad rahe hai hum, No koi gaam hai na udhasi,Phir bhi tadap rahe hai hum.Kesi hai yeh ulzan, kyo yeh saab sikh rahe hai hum.Khud na samaj paaye,auro ko samjane chale hai aapna gaam.”This epidemic which has struck the old and the young alike in the form of ‘Depression’ can be eradicated by ‘Shrimad Bhagwata Mahapurana”. It can lead us;- From the momentary ’Sukh’ to eternal ‘Bliss’- From the external seek, to the internal find- From the incomplete self, to the complete in self - From the finite and perishable, to the infinite and eternal—————————————————Lets get to know our Author, Narrator and Seeker (Detailed story narrated in the session)Author -Veda Vyasa He is the son of Parasharji(a renowned astrologer) and Satyavati. Born under planetary conditions, fit for the birth of the 29th Veda Vyasa.‘Ved Vyasa is a title which is given to new Vyasa in every Chaturyuga, in this Chaturyuga it is Given to the great Krishna Dwaipayana son of Bramharishi Parashara.’Pls Note: It is so beautiful to know that our Veda also evolve to fit the need of...
