namaste, gurus and fellow shisyas,

 

Can someone please tell me what the following texts are:

 

shrimad bhagavatam

bhagavata purAna

 

Are they the same? Is one a subset of the other?

 

Many thanks,

Beau

Hare Krishna, Beau.

 

As per Parasara Muni, Bhagavan means The One who has fully the six

opulences: riches, fame, renuntiation, beauty, strong and knowledge. Sri

is the goddes of fortune, and from this word a lot come: Srimad, Srila,

Srimati, to refer to something or someone very auspicios. So, the best

Purana is the Bhagavatam, in which is exalted Krishna, the Supreme

Personality of Godhead, and his devotees, who lack of any desire for

themselves. As it is the conclusion of all the vedas written by Srila

Vyasadeva, and the natural comentary of the Vedanta Sutra, is very dear

to all the devotes of the Lord, and is termed as Srimad Bhagavatam. Some

times Bhagavad Gita is termed too as Srimad Bhagavad Gita.

 

Just for clarify, sometimes, the devotees who preaches the Srimad

Bhagavatam by the example, are called Bhagavatas. Or sometimes, great

demigods like Lord Shiva, due to be great devotees of Lord Krishna, are

called Bhagavan too.

 

Your sisya:

Arjuna-vallabha das.

Om Hareer vida-dhyaan mama sarva rakshaam

 

Namaste,

Yes, the work Bhagavan is made up of " bhag" or good fortune, wealth, splendor

an, power, + "van" or possessor, Master, having"

Hope this adds to the conversation...just as Sri Krsna's name is the composition

"krs" - truth or Absolute and "na" - or bliss.

He, Who's nature is absolute bliss.

One point worth mentioning and I am sure we are aware of this...from the email below

Arjuna-vallabha das wrote: Sometimes Bhagavad-Gita is termed too as Srimad Bhagavad-Gita Gita.

 

Yes this is true...yet the Bhagavad-Gita is the 700 line ( some say 701)

conversation between Arjuna and Sri Krsna in the Mahabharata ... the Bhagavad-Gita

has been called the "milk or cream of the Veda's".

Thank you both for taking the time to illuminate this topic for me!

So am I correct in interpreting that the Shrimad Bhagavatam is

sometimes referred to as the Bhagavat Purana, the 'Blessed' Purana?

 

All the best,

Beau
