How the Devas Did Not Get “Bhagavathamrutham” (the Amrut of Atma Jnanam)
..........................................................................................................

Here is a story to show the greatness of Srimad Bhagavatham : -
--------------------------------------------------------------

AMRUT means, a “life giving medicine”, it is most relevant to a dying man only. For Devas, Bhagavatham was important, but not essential. But for Parikshit, Bhagavatham was the last resort to save himself. As we crave for breathing air, we must crave for Knowledge, then only it will do it’s miracle in our lives. The Lord is accessible only to the most needy devotee, who can not live without HIM.

A Guru gives Knowledge to the right Shishya only, the one who is capable of honouring it and practising it in his own life. So Sri Suka did not give it to the Devas, and instead gave the nectar of Bhagavatham to King Parikshit.

Parikshit single-focussedly absorbed the truths taught by the Bhagavatham, got rid of the fear of death and transformed his mind into a divine Godly mind.

You can live life fully, if and only if, you are free from fear and misery. Bhagavatham is the mind management text that one should learn right from their childhood to live a life of purpose and higher values.

1. INTRODUCTION :             Education is a special discipline and theory and practice of education deserves to receive a special attention. According to Sathya Sai Baba, “An education system in country is a bank on which the people can draw a cheque for the upliftment of the society”. The organization of such a bank needs to be solemnised and progressive. It is only the contribution of great thinkers in the field of education can guide the planners to have this organization on sound footings. We in India have an ideal educational system in ancient time. It worked well for the society of that time. In such a system there were some basic principles and postulates some ideals, rules and regulations which we have implemented in the right earnest in ideal educational situations.             Great thinkers of contemporary India have given their verdict on the basic principles as well as needed reflections. One of the most important persons was a Dr. S. Radhakrishnan. The cruci
