Guest guest Posted January 4, 2002 Report Share Posted January 4, 2002 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. ____________________________ mensaje enviado desde http://www.iespana.es emails (pop)-paginas web (espacio ilimitado)-agenda-favoritos (bookmarks)-foros -Chat Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted January 5, 2002 Report Share Posted January 5, 2002 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".

Guest guest Posted January 5, 2002 Report Share Posted January 5, 2002 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?
