The Impact of Srimad Bhagavatam on The Human Mind

In Srimad Bhagavatam there are twelve Skandhas, says Swamiji. These twelve skandhas are the raw materials which have to fed into one’s own mind. By the time one comes to the twelfth skandha, all the impurities of the mind are dissolved. The mind becomes beautiful and full of devotion.

In the tenth Skandha, Bhagavatam discusses Sri Krishna’s birth, growth and exploits. The Bhāgavata author found that for the human mind to hold on to, there must be a beautiful and alluring character to hold on to. So, he presented Sri Krishna. Krishna faced a lot of adverse situations in his life but faced everything with a smile and acceptance. In the most conflicting and opposing environments, he did not lose his inner splendor, glory, potential and greatness. Swamiji urges all seekers to follow his example and strengthen and refine their own Mind and intelligence.
