Srimad Bhagavatam

September 9th began the week for reading and finishing the Bhagavat Mahapuran.

Call it an epic, call it a novel, call it a Puran - look at it from a religious, spiritual or writing point of view but you cannot deny

its richness
the subtext
the layers of wisdom
the raw meanings of life
the science of existing
the reasons for basic emotions
the values of life
its secret teachings

Strange are the ways of this world.

While only one amongst millions have read it in its entirety, a few have heard about it, a vast majority of us never get the chance or the inclination to be exposed to the scripture or manuscript in its true form.

Maybe because right in the beginning it says - you need the merits of a countless lives to come closer to this epic..

Whether its merit or sheer chance, one things remains true. Once in contact with the Bhagavatam, you will never find yourself away from it..
