Srimad Bhagavatam is Lord Krishna!!!

Verse 1.3.40: Actually, we are very very fortunate to read and hear Srimad Bhagavatam (SB). So many life times we have waited to do this. SB is the purest of all the puranas, it is also the natural commentary of the Brahmasutras. So this is pure and meant for paramahamsa's. This facility of us reading SB everyday, is so very very auspicious and we are so lucky. Why? Because it is non-different from Lord Krishna.

If we understand and assimilate this SB, then we can become a book bhagavat. Means we are applying the instructions of SB in our life. SP is called a maha-bhagavat, since he was a walking bhagavatam.

SB if purchased, it is not like a simple book, we install it, since it is not different from Krishna. This is done with the permission of the siksa guru or diksa guru.

Naradamuni also says, that just by the association of bhagavats, and chanting the names of the Lord, he is what he is today. So, please don't under-estimate the power of SB, the power of chanting the names of the Lord.

Also talked about Odan-shashti: It is a festival celebrated in Jagannath Puri. Pundarika vidyanidhi(PV) was a pure devotee. He was Maharaj Vrsabhanu in Krishna's pastimes. CM used to call him father father.
This festival is a time when the Lord is offered new clothes. The pujari's this time, offered starch-filled cloth. This was an offense. The devotees were watching and dancing during this time. Swarup-damodar Goswami (Lalita Sakhi in Krishna's pastimes) (SG) was also there. P. Vidhyanidhi asked him why they are doing this, which is an offense. SG told that Jagannath is accepting this, then why should we be troubled.

Everything got over, but PV was thinking in the mind, why this was happening. He then was sleeping and Jagannath and Baladev came to his dream. They were very angry that whay right does he have to be angry when They Themselves were accepting what the devotees were giving to Them. They asked him not to offend the devotees anytime ever.

Next day morning, he came late to the program. PV saw that his both cheeks were swollen and red (since in the dream Lord Jagannath slapped him actually). He told to SG that since the Lord has accepted him as His servant, He came and corrected him.

Moral: Even if somebody does something, that might not be correct. There might be something. Don't criticize him. If Krishna is offended, then there will be a reaction. We might not be able to take it. So tell to those people who will listen, to those who will not listen do not ask.

So please do not offend anybody. If you are not in an authoritative position, it is better to keep quiet.
