This podcast contains discourses on the Srimad Bhagavata Purana by Swami Tattwamayananda.

The Srimad Bhagavata Purana is as sacred as the Bhagavad Gita, as authentic as the Vedas, and as metaphysically deep as the Upanishads. Its author is Vyasa. It is presented in 12 skandas.

It is given in answer to the question, “what should a dying man do?” The answer is to die with God’s name on your lips and God’s form in your heart. Containing innumerable classic devotional stories, dialogues, and characters, the Srimad Bhagavata Purana illustrates in an unforgettable way exactly how to do that.

Lectures and Topics:

1. Three lectures delivered January 24-26, 2016 at the Jain Temple in Milpitas, CA. The topic is the Dialogue between King Nimi and the Nine Yogis.

2. The first three out of four lectures delivered August 23 - 25, 2019 at the Ramakrishna Vedanta Society of North Texas. The topic was Srimad Bhagavatam - A Blend of Knowledge and Devotion.
