\u015ar\u012bmad-Bh\u0101gavatam<\/a><\/i> is recognized Vedic wisdom, and the system of receiving Vedic knowledge is called avaroha-panth\u0101,<\/i> or the process of receiving transcendental knowledge through bona fide disciplic succession. For advancement of material knowledge there is a need for personal ability and researching aptitude, but in the case of spiritual knowledge, all progress depends more or less on the mercy of the spiritual master. The spiritual master must be satisfied with the disciple; only then is knowledge automatically manifest before the student of spiritual science. The process should not, however, be misunderstood to be something like magical feats whereby the spiritual master acts like a magician and injects spiritual knowledge into his disciple, as if surcharging him with an electrical current. The bona fide spiritual master reasonably explains everything to the disciple on the authorities of Vedic wisdom. The disciple can receive such teachings not exactly intellectually, but by submissive inquiries and a service attitude. The idea is that both the spiritual master and the disciple must be bona fide. In this case, the spiritual master, \u015aukadeva Gosv\u0101m\u012b, is ready to recite exactly what he has learned from his great father \u015ar\u012bla Vy\u0101sadeva, and the disciple, Mah\u0101r\u0101ja Par\u012bk\u1e63it, is a great devotee of Lord K\u1e5b\u1e63\u1e47a. A devotee of Lord K\u1e5b\u1e63\u1e47a is he who believes sincerely that by becoming a devotee of the Lord one becomes fully equipped with everything spiritual. This teaching is imparted by the Lord Himself in the pages of the Bhagavad-g\u012bt\u0101<\/a>,<\/i> in which it is clearly described that the Lord (\u015ar\u012b K\u1e5b\u1e63\u1e47a) is everything, and that to surrender unto Him solely and wholly makes one the most perfectly pious man. This unflinching faith in Lord K\u1e5b\u1e63\u1e47a prepares one to become a student of \u015ar\u012bmad-Bh\u0101gavatam<\/a>,<\/i> and one who hears \u015ar\u012bmad-Bh\u0101gavatam<\/a><\/i> from a devotee like \u015aukadeva Gosv\u0101m\u012b is sure to attain salvation at the end, as Mah\u0101r\u0101ja Par\u012bk\u1e63it did. The professional reciter of \u015ar\u012bmad-Bh\u0101gavatam<\/a><\/i> and the pseudodevotees whose faith is based on one week\u2019s hearing are different from \u015aukadeva Gosv\u0101m\u012b and Mah\u0101r\u0101ja Par\u012bk\u1e63it. \u015ar\u012bla Vy\u0101sadeva explained \u015ar\u012bmad-Bh\u0101gavatam<\/a><\/i> unto \u015aukadeva Gosv\u0101m\u012b from the very beginning of the janm\u0101dy asya<\/i> verse, and so \u015aukadeva Gosv\u0101m\u012b also explained it to the King. Lord K\u1e5b\u1e63\u1e47a is described as the Mah\u0101puru\u1e63a in the \u015ar\u012bmad-Bh\u0101gavatam<\/a><\/i> (Canto Eleven) in His devotional feature as Lord \u015ar\u012b Caitanya Mah\u0101prabhu. \u015ar\u012b Caitanya Mah\u0101prabhu is Lord K\u1e5b\u1e63\u1e47a Himself in His devotional attitude, descended to the earth to bestow special favors upon the fallen souls of this Age of Kali. There are two verses particularly suitable to offer as prayers to this Mah\u0101puru\u1e63a feature of Lord K\u1e5b\u1e63\u1e47a:<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

In other words, puru\u1e63a<\/i> means the enjoyer, and mah\u0101puru\u1e63a<\/i> means the supreme enjoyer, or the Supreme Personality of Godhead \u015ar\u012b K\u1e5b\u1e63\u1e47a. One who deserves to approach the Supreme Lord \u015ar\u012b K\u1e5b\u1e63\u1e47a is called the mah\u0101-pauru\u1e63ika.<\/i> Anyone who hears \u015ar\u012bmad-Bh\u0101gavatam<\/a><\/i> attentively from its bona fide reciter is sure to become a sincere devotee of the Lord, who is able to award liberation. There was none so attentive as Mah\u0101r\u0101ja Par\u012bk\u1e63it in the matter of hearing \u015ar\u012bmad-Bh\u0101gavatam<\/a>,<\/i>and there was none so qualified as \u015aukadeva Gosv\u0101m\u012b to recite the text of \u015ar\u012bmad-Bh\u0101gavatam<\/a>.<\/i> Therefore, anyone who follows in the footsteps of either the ideal reciter or the ideal hearer, \u015aukadeva Gosv\u0101m\u012b and Mah\u0101r\u0101ja Par\u012bk\u1e63it respectively, will undoubtedly attain salvation like them. Mah\u0101r\u0101ja Par\u012bk\u1e63it attained salvation by hearing only, and \u015aukadeva Gosv\u0101m\u012b attained salvation only by reciting. Recitation and hearing are two processes out of nine devotional activities, and by strenuously following the principles, either in all or by parts, one can attain the absolute plane. So the complete text of \u015ar\u012bmad-Bh\u0101gavatam<\/a>,<\/i> beginning with the janm\u0101dy asya<\/i> verse up to the last one in the Twelfth Canto, was spoken by \u015aukadeva Gosv\u0101m\u012b for the attainment of salvation by Mah\u0101r\u0101ja Par\u012bk\u1e63it. In the Padma Pur\u0101\u1e47a,<\/i> it is mentioned that Gautama Muni advised Mah\u0101r\u0101ja Ambar\u012b\u1e63a to hear regularly \u015ar\u012bmad-Bh\u0101gavatam<\/a><\/i> as it was recited by \u015aukadeva Gosv\u0101m\u012b, and herein it is confirmed that Mah\u0101r\u0101ja Ambar\u012b\u1e63a heard \u015ar\u012bmad-Bh\u0101gavatam<\/a><\/i> from the very beginning to the end, as it was spoken by \u015aukadeva Gosv\u0101m\u012b. One who is actually interested in the Bh\u0101gavatam<\/a>,<\/i> therefore, must not play with it by reading or hearing a portion from here and a portion from there; one must follow in the footsteps of great kings like Mah\u0101r\u0101ja Ambar\u012b\u1e63a or Mah\u0101r\u0101ja Par\u012bk\u1e63it and hear it from a bona fide representative of \u015aukadeva Gosv\u0101m\u012b.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
