Why vyasa written BHAGAVATAM?
(In this post we will discuss the continuation from bhagavatam introduction post.)
Now, Romaharsha maharshi is narrating the bhagavatam's 1st skanda to Shaunkadi maharshis. Long ago, once vyasa's heart is filled of dissatisfaction but he doesn't have any knowledge about it. Then the devarshi Narada muni came to visit veda vyas and noticed his dissatisfaction. Then Narada muni said " oh maharshi vyas, you should be most happiest person in this world because you divided the Vedas into 4 divisions and written the greatest epic Mahabharata. But you are in a depressed mode. Can I know why ? ". Vyasa replied " hey maharshi I have written the greatest epic Mahabharata but my heart is filled up of depression, because I have a question in my mind that , do I left the Mahabharata incomplete ? But I can't understand that what I was missed in that story. So could u please help me out in finding that missing part ? " Narada replied" surely I will help you out and my purpose of this visit is to give the information of that missing story. " Then a smile was appeared in the face of vyasa.
Narada said " oh! Great sage u have written the greatest epic Mahabharata and it's story of bloodshed between the brothers Pandavas and Kauravas for the sake of kingdom. But you forget about the story, philosophy, kindness, existence, the purpose of his incarnation of lord sri krishna. You only described the story of his participation in the Mahabharata but u haven't explained about his soul, power, strength and purpose. So u ready to write another book based on the bhagavan( god ) Sri Krishna that is lord Vishnu and his incarnations to save the man kind and name it as bhagavata purana. "
Vyasa replied that whatever narada said was right that I forgot to write story of the supreme lord. Then he asked narada muni respectfully about how to write the Bhagavatam? Narada replied that first of all, you meditate for lord Vishnu and he will guide you towards the Bhagavatam. Vyasa done what Narada was said, he performed meditation to vishnu in ashtanga yoga procedure. Due to his sincere work he acquired the knowledge of lord Vishnu incarnations and it's philosophies.
Then vyas written the spiritual book named as BHAGAVATAM.
