The Tenth Canto of the Shrimad Bhagavatam should be heard with reverence every day, or at least once a year, and should be read by the wise once a year. And the Tenth Canto of the Shrimad Bhagavata Purana should be heard daily with reverence, or once every year. And those who are learned should read it daily, or once every year. Maharaj has written 'every year' twice in this verse. 'Pratyaham va sakrud varshe varshe vacyo'tha panditaih, varshe varshe vacyo'tha panditaih'. The Tenth Canto of the Shrimad Bhagavatam should be heard daily with faith. If there is no faith, one does not get the desired fruit. A sacrifice performed without faith, charity given, penance performed, whatever spiritual practice is done, O Partha, is said to be false and in vain. That spiritual practice yields no fruit either after death or in the present. If that Tenth Canto cannot be heard daily, then it should be heard at least once every year. And those intelligent, learned scholars who can recite the Sanskrit text should, according to their capacity, recite and read the Tenth Canto. If it cannot be read daily, then it should be read at least once a year, its recitation should be done. Because hearing, singing, and reading the Tenth Canto pacifies all the miseries of a devotee and leads them to the abode of God. It is said in the Bhagavatam itself that he who wishes to serve the feet of God should, through this scripture, listen to the pastimes of the divine form assumed for the protection of the true dharma dharma 1) Universal law or principle that 'sustains' or 'upholds' the entire world.

Tap to open in glossary → So if we are celebrating festivals, the modern festivals of today, if they are done with a pure feeling, then if one remembers them, it happens. For example, Shastriji Maharaj used to do all these festivals and such, perform yagnas and such, in which, parallel to the scriptures, we would feel that Maharaj is present in this. But if the target is solely and exclusively the festival, and there remains some doubt, then it is best to remember Maharaj's festivals. Only those festivals of Maharaj that are remembered should be recalled. Because in the Bhagavatam and such, what is said here about remembering all those festivals refers to remembering Him. There is not much statement about modern ones anywhere, and one would have to search elsewhere, and if support for it is found, then it is good, there is no problem in that. So sometimes, suppose, for example, we celebrate the Holi festival and we act crazy, now if someone sees that, then at the end of life, his... still, Maharaj said that by association with a devotee, the murti murti 1) Sacred idol of Bhagvãn used to offer worship.

We are not saying that modern festivals cannot be called divine, but the more divine feeling enters into them, the more they are considered equal to those. And if divine feeling does not enter, then they are not considered equal to that extent. And in the former, we have no chance of making any adjustments. They were indeed perfect. So there is a chance in this, which means that the former is 100% and this one remains a bit doubtful. Therefore, at most, it is said that remembering those festivals is much better. Since we have plunged into these festivals, we generally remember them. But how fruitful our plunging is, only God knows. That is, if there is a divine feeling, often what happens is, Narayan Bhagat used to tell us that if we have darshan darshan Seeing. To see with admiration and devotion.

'Shravyah': The Tenth Canto of the Shrimad Bhagavatam, which is like an overflowing stream of the nectar of love for the form of God, should be heard daily with reverence by my dependents. In the Tenth Canto of the Bhagavatam, the divine pastimes of God are described. And also, the love for God residing in the hearts of those cowherds and gopis, who had never even thought of the knowledge of the Vedas and other scriptures or of good conduct, is described. That is, there was no basis of scriptures, but exclusive love for God shines forth in it. And that is why Maharaj, rather than listening to any other Puranas, asked to listen to the Bhagavata Purana.
