Glory of Bharatham

Now Bhagavatham tells us, how fortunate we are all to be born in our great Bharatham. It describes the various rivers and mountains that adorn our beautiful country’s landscape. The holy rivers provide water to the masses here.

According to the gunas, one may get Devathwam, Manushyathwam or Narakagathi.

Then what qualifies you for liberation? True devotion only. It removes your ignorance and thus entitles you for Satsang. The noble men’s advices give strength to your devotion and thus leads you to Self Realization.

That is why Bhagavatham says, even the heavenly beings are jealous of those who get birth as humans in Bharatham.

Because, what you can get utmost is Swargam after intense penance etc. That is fleeting and immaterial as there is no chance of remembrance of the Lord owing to the effect of heavenly  pleasures.

Nothing else can give the joy of devotion. But many people keep on doing the same mistake of yielding to sensory pleasures. They do not find a way out of misery too.
