Birth, activities of Parikshit Maharaj begins here...

Verse 1.7.12: The story of Maharaj Parikshit and the Pandavas (the devotees of Krishna) begins today. Srila Prabhupada (SP) comments that Srimad Bhagavatam (SB) is a narration of pure devotees and it relishes this. Even pure devotional nectar from other puranas are picked up and put in here. If we therefore listen to it everyday (Jananivas Pr, from Mayapur listens to SB lecture everyday, be it in whatever language, for the past 38-40 years).

Wonderful point: SP kept all the purports in the first and second Canto's. It has so much nectar, all our lust, anger, greed, pride, envy and illusion can be removed by carefully studying these two canto's.

People sometimes just want to listen to the 10th Canto, Krishna's pastimes of the Gopi's. But SP here strongly comments that the first 9 canto's are equally important and are a foundation for us to get to the 10th Canto.

We have to churn the nectar from Srimad Bhagavatam. We really need to read, study, hear with a proper mood and understand the nectar in SB. It is not just a 10 minute call, but at least we can begin here.
