Bhagavatam:First Skanda:contd

A person who utters the word “Om karam”with the names of Vishnu:Vasudeva,Pradyumna,Sankarshana,and Anirudha with a devoted mind adores the smiling face of the Lord is blessed with composure and balance of mind

The great sages who could conquer the senses and also all the bad qualities like desire,anger, revenge are blessed with the appearance of God but not those who conquered the world.

Even if we control the mind with Yamamu,Niyamamu,Pranayamamu,and pratyaharamu,,at times it is tested with desire and anger.Peace is at a distance luring us.So we will attain peacefulness only with the service of Vasudeva.

The sages who are Nishkamulu,Atmaramulu adore Sri Hari unconditionally as they are above desires and their hearts are filled with only devotion ,nothing else.In turn God has immense compassion for His devotees so He showers His affection on them unreasonably.

Sri Krishna is called “Kamsari”as He killed His uncle Kamsa.He came into this world as an ordinary human being in this Avatara so people mistake Him to be a human being.But He is above all human gunas as He is impersonal,not glued to the physical form and its three gunas.Even if He is one among us He is beyond worldly matter and He is all pervasive.He is not touched with the feelings of happiness and unhappiness.A fire is born out of the friction of two sticks and it can destroy the whole of the forest.In the same way Vasudeva ,without touching any weapon ,got the whole of the evil being destroyed in war now lives in the palace like a common human being.Such is the greatness of this Avatar.

Parikshit was saved by Vasudeva while in the womb of his mother.So he is a terror to the enemy and he is famous with the name “Vishnurathudu”and is adored by every one in this world.

As Parikshit saw Him while in his mother’s womb,he was searching for the same God after his birth all around so he is named as Parikshit.

Bhagavatam:First Skanda:contd

Every human being has two forms called Sthula rupam and Sukshma rupam that means Physical form that is visible and celestial form which is not seen but felt.These two are connected to Soul because of Maya and when once one is aware of this,he is leberated from this bondaage and is eligible for the vision of seeing "Bramha".Seeing God is nothing but the knowledge of this awareness.He will come out of ignorance and attain spiritual elevation by burning his two forms and like a fire without a stick he will realise his own self as God Himself and immerse in that supreme happiness.
Bhagavatam is the essence of all Vedas and Ithihasas.
Suka Maharshi is a Sanyasi,great Yogi,sees the creation of God as one [oneness in every thing],Brmhana,conqueror of Maya,wise in all knowledge,does not distinguish man from a woman.
A man who is born even in a low caste does not get trappped in family bond if he is a devotee of Lord Vishnu.Because of the Samakara of his previous birth ,he will be immersed in the devotion of sacred feet of Vishnu by chanting.In order to gain all the qualities like wisdom,knowledge,compassion,penance,courage,and prosperity,man has to pray to the great Purushothama,Narayana.

Bhagavatam:First Skanda:contd

Sri vishnu is the one who disclosed all the Vedas to Bramha,Who will mesmarise even the great pandits to subjugate themselves,in whose creation this universe with all the three gunas;Satvam,Rajas,and tamas appear to be like mirage in a desert,Glass pieces in water that appear to be true though not true,Who will erase the Maya with his tejas[brightness],Who is the embodiment of Satym I worship daily such a Lord,Paratpara.
Good people who are great without any malice or ill will always listen to the great epic Bhagavatam.This will enable them to be free from human bondage and get rid of life's botherations and turn their minds to get into" tatva chintana".
Adhyatmam means to conquer actions and reasons and lead towards self realisation.Such a kind of realisation is possible only with this Bhagavatam which is a light that guides us from darkness into light.This is an assemblage of all Vedas,unusual,great inspiration,essence of all puranas and with this only human being can swim through the darkness of family life.
A man who is immersed in the daily activeties in order to get happiness does not realise the greatness of this Tatvam.There is no difference between Tatvam and Dharmam according to those who consider Dharmam as Tatvam.Those who are experts in Tatvam consider the knowledge of Tatvam as tatvardham.Those who believe in Upanishads named tatvam as "Bramham".Those who are the devoties of Bramha [Hyranya garbhulu]called it "Paramatma".Satvatulu call it "Bhagavantudu".People in quest of truth gain stable Bhakti[Achanchala Bhakti].Bhakti redeems mankind from the temptations of rajas and tamas and lead to attain the most sacred Guna Satva.This Satva gunam leberates him from all bondages.One who is free from all these bonds is blessed with the attainment of the knowledge of Tatvam and he is given the darsan of "Eswara".This Eswara Darsanam enables him to be away from "Ego" or "Ahankara".
