BHADRA PURNIMA SPECIAL
THE INTERCONNECTION BETWEEN THE MAHABHARATA & SRIMAD BHAGAVATAM
World, life and leaving have different perspectives at different points in time in our life and for aiding our vision Vyasadeva compiled a range of literatures. They are interconnected, harmonious and non- conflicting. Conflict exists for those who see them from an exclusivist view point.
The Mahabharata gives the vision of how to live in the world. They are not only descriptive but are depictive. Mahabharata talks of an active world and therefore it always remains contemporary. Like some one said, “immortals always are contemporary.” We can see the Duryodhanas, Dushashanas, Shakunis and the confused Karnas in our lives even today.
Bhagavatam teaches inner depth as against non-existent. The only reality being that of intense affection of the soul for the supreme lord, who enchanted every one by his sweet pastimes in Vrindavana.
While living in this world most people live the life of a householder. If one is able to balance the three aspects of life namely the world , living and leaving then at the right time one becomes completely detached form this world while being fully active in one’s sva dharama.
The Pandavas and their Glorious Grandson King Parikshit are a typical example of such behavior. They had upanishadic observation, an epic like involvement in the world and puranic like detachment. Hence when it was time for them to move away form this world, they did it in a very beautiful way.
Join us for an enlivening discussion on the Interconnection between the Mahabharata and the Srimad bhagavatam on the auspicious occasion of Bhadra Purnima
