  1. Srimad Bhagavatam Canto 1 Chapter 1 Text 3 Srimad-Bhagavatam – the ripened fruit of the desire tree of Vedic literature.

  2. Text 3 nigama-kalpa-taror galitaà phalaà çuka-mukhäd amåta-drava-saàyutam pibata bhägavataà rasam älayaà muhur aho rasikä bhuvi bhävukäù O expert and thoughtful men, relish Çrémad-Bhägavatam, the mature fruit of the desire tree of Vedic literatures. It emanated from the lips of Çré Çukadeva Gosvämé. Therefore this fruit has become even more tasteful, although its nectarean juice was already relishable for all, including liberated souls.

  3. Ripened fruit • Vedic literature are like desire tree. • Srimad-Bhagavatam is ripened fruit. • The sensual pleasures are technically called rasas. • Such rasas are of different varieties & in the revealed scriptures the following twelve varieties of rasas are enumerated:(1) raudra (anger), (2) adbhuta (wonder), (3) çåìgära (conjugal love), (4) häsya (comedy), (5) véra (chivalry), (6) dayä (mercy), (7) däsya (servitorship), (8) sakhya (fraternity), (9) bhayänaka (horror), (10) bébhatsa (shock), (11) çänta (neutrality), (12) vätsalya (parenthood).

  4. Original and perverted reflection • one who attains full knowledge of these different rasas, which are the basic principles of activities, can understand the false representations of the original rasas which are reflected in the material world. • The learned scholar seeks to relish the real rasa in the spiritual form. • Less intelligent transcendentalists cannot go beyond the conception of becoming one with the spirit whole, without knowing of the different rasas.

  5. Careful study of Bhagavatam • Foolish people who are not in the transcendental disciplic succession commit great blunders by trying to understand the highest transcendental rasa known as the räsa dance without following in the footsteps of Çukadeva Gosvämé, who presents this fruit very carefully by stages of transcendental realization. • One should be intelligent enough to know the position of Çrémad-Bhägavatam by considering personalities like Çukadeva Gosvämé, who deals with the subject so carefully. • This process of disciplic succession of the Bhägavata school suggests that in the future also Çrémad-Bhägavatam has to be understood from a person who is factually a representative of Çréla Çukadeva Gosvämé.

  6. Professional recitation of Bhagavatam • A professional man who makes a business out of reciting the Bhägavatam illegally is certainly not a representative of Çukadeva Gosvämé. Such a man's business is only to earn his livelihood. • Such men usually go to the most confidential part of the literature without undergoing the gradual process of understanding this grave subject. • Some of them take this to be immoral, while others try to cover it up by their own stupid interpretations. • The serious student of the rasa should receive the message of Bhägavatam in the chain of disciplic succession from Çréla Çukadeva Gosvämé.
