SRIMAD BHAGAVATHA SATHRAM

  The 20th All-India Sreemad Bhagavatha Sathram  will be held at the
Puthericandam maidan in front of the Pashvangadi Ganapathi and Sri
PadmanabhaSwamy Temples  in Thiruvananthapuram, Kerala from December 22 to
29.Smt. P.V. Santha Devi, chairperson, and Smt P. Suseela Devi,said that
convener of the Sathra  Mathrusamithy that sanyasins, `Bhagavatha' acharyas
and  scholars from all over the country would participate. Tens of thousands
of  devotees were also expected to participate in the week-long religious
event.  They said that the `sathram' was organised first during the initial
days of  `Kaliyuga', roughly 5,000 years ago, as a divine weapon to rid the
world of  the evils of `Kali'. It was revived in the late seventies as an
annual  celebration of the `namajapa yagnas' which used to be held once a
month by
 turn in the `illams' of Malayali brahmins of the Karukidam, Meenachal and
Ramapuram in Kottayam. Kerala

How Srimad Bhagavatham originated ?. Bhagavan Sri Krishna advised Sri Brahma
the creator of the world living and nonliving beings as follows known as
.CHATHUSLOKI BHAGAVATHAM.

 O my Lord, the unborn, You have shaken hands with me just as a friend does
with a friend [as if equal in position]. I shall be engaged in the creation
of different types of living entities, and I shall be occupied in Your
service. I shall have no perturbation, but I pray that all this may not give
rise to pride, as if I were the Supreme.

The Personality of Godhead said: Knowledge about Me as described in the
scriptures is very confidential, and it has to be realized in conjunction
with devotional service. The necessary paraphernalia for that process is
being explained by Me. You may take it up carefully.

All of Me, namely My actual eternal form and My transcendental existence,
color, qualities and activities-let all be awakened within you by factual
realization, out of My causeless mercy.
 Brahmâ, it is I, the Personality of Godhead, who was existing before the
creation, when there was nothing but Myself. Nor was there the material
nature, the cause of this creation. That which you see now is also I, the
Personality of Godhead, and after annihilation what remains will also be I,
the Personality of Godhead.

.O Brahmâ, whatever appears to be of any value, if it is without relation to
Me, has no reality. Know it as My illusory energy, that reflection which
appears to be in darkness.

.O Brahmâ, please know that the universal elements enter into the cosmos and
at the same time do not enter into the cosmos; similarly, I Myself also
exist within everything created, and at the same time I am outside of
everything.

A person who is searching after the Supreme Absolute Truth, the Personality
of Godhead, most certainly search for it up to this, in all circumstances,
in all space and time, and both directly and indirectly.



After getting these advises Brahma advised Narada with more commentry and
Sri Narada advised Sri Veda Vysa who is found to be gloomy even after
written all the Vedas ,Puranas, Epics,and so many other scriptures, to write
a book with spirituality and materialism combined together giving more
importance to the philosophy, stories and devotional songs relating to Lord
Krishna. Accordingly He wrote this book relates the story of the Lord and
His Incarnations since the earliest records of the vedic history. It is
verily the Krishna himself ( Krishnathu Bhagavan Swayam).   It has 18.000
verses and consists of 12 subsections also called canto's. These sections
tell the complete history of the vedic culture with the essence of all its
classical stories called purâna's and includes the cream of the vedic
knowledge compiled from all the literatures as well as the story of the life
of Lord Krishna in full (canto 10). It tells about His birth, His youth, all
His wonderful proofs of His divine nature and the superhuman feats of
defeating all kind of demons up to the great Mahabharat war at Kuruksetra
incarnation in the Human form of Lord Vishnu [the name for the
transcendental form of Lord Krishna] which has got a message, the daring
task of enlightening the materialist westerners as well as the advanced
philosophers and theologians, in order to help them to overcome the perils
and loneliness of impersonalism and the philosophy of emptiness.

He taught his son Sri .Suka and He advised to Sri Parikshit Maharaja (one of
the grandsons of Sri Krishna ) who knew that he will die within seven days
and what best to do in this period is to hear Srimad Bhagavatham with
fasting.Sri Suka preached Srimad Bhagavatham to the king and he is freed
from the death of fear. Thus the seven days Sapthaham started. This Sathram
is a modified one in which various Acharyas will give preaching emphasising
the philosophy, history, and scientifical  aspects in series. The main
advantage for the audiance is that they can hear the best part from each
Acharyas.

The first Sathram was conducted in Kuichithanam Devi  Temple near Kottayam,
kerala from 23rd August to 28 th august 1983 with blessings of Sri
Guruvayoorappan the deity is brought from Guruvayoor after conducting Puja
in the temple by the Thanthri Sri Chennas Nampoothiripad.The main force
behind this venture was Sri Madasseri Vasudevan Namboothiri who was the soul
and spirit.

The main Acharyas were Sri Vaisravanath Raman Nmboothiri, Sri Anjam Madhavan
Nampoothiri, Sri. Ottur Unni Nampoothiri, Sri Malliyur Sankaran Nampoothiri,
Swami Guruvayoorappa Das, Venmany Nampoothiri, Sri Vengeri Nampoothiri,Sri,
Mulavana Maheswaran Bhattathiri.etc.Sathram started with Ganapathy Homam by
Soorya kalady Bhattathiri.This attempt was a grand success with the
blessings of Lord Guruvayoorappan.

After that it is being conducted every year at different places in Kerala
and it has got an All India attraction and Acharyas from different parts of
India will attend this function.

In this year a committe is formed.
