SUMMARY:'The Glories of Srimad Bhagavatam' with Kartik Chandra Das
DESCRIPTION:Sun 16 Aug 2026 | 4:30pm-6:30pm | Sri Krishna Haveli\nAbout the evening\nJoin us for an evening of spiritual wisdom\, focusing on the glories of the Srimad-Bhagavatam. Of the innumerable collections of spiritual teachings found in Vedic literature\, Srimad-Bhagavatam is considered the topmost. Vedic literature is sometimes said to be a “desire tree\,” a tree that can yield whatever one might desire\, and of that tree the Srimad-Bhagavatam is said to be the ripe and most relishable fruit. \n About the speaker\nKartik Chandra Das was born and raised in a traditional Vaishnava family who trace their Vaishnava roots going back at least fourteen generations. From an early age he received training in devotional scriptures\, philosophy and Sanskrit language. Thus\, he had first-hand experience of Vaishnava tradition and culture as part of his upbringing. He met ISKCON devotees in 1993 and has been associated with ISKCON ever since. Srimad-Bhagavatam is his favourite literary work and he loves to enthusiastically share what he has learnt from guru\, sadhus and shastras. His other interests are in Children’s Education\, Sanskrit Aesthetics\, Paninian Grammar\, Linguistics and Philosophy of Science. He lives in North West London with his wife and two children. \n \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nsarva-sastrabdhi-piyusa sarva-vedaika-sat-phala\nsarva-siddhanta-ratnadhya sarva-lokaika-drk-prada\nsarva-bhagavata-prana srimad-bhagavata-prabho\nkali-dhvantoditaditya sri-krsna-parivartita \nO Srimad-Bhagavatam\, O nectar churned form the ocean of all the Vedic scriptures\, O most prominent transcendental fruit of all the Vedas\, O you who are enriched with the jewels of all spiritual philosophical conclusions\, O you who grant spiritual vision to all the people of the world; O life-breath of the Vaisnava devotees\, O Lord\, You are the sun which has arisen to dispel the darkness of the Kali yuga. You are actually Krsna Who has returned among us.  \n– Verses 412-413\,  Sri Krsna Lila Stava by Srila Sanatana Goswami \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n	Frequently asked questions\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nDo I need a ticket to attend?\n\n\n\nNo ticket is required.
