Questions by Sage Saunaka to Sri Suta

In the forest of Naimisharanya, knowing about the onset of Kali Yuga, numerous sages had gathered under the leadership of Sage Saunaka to perform a thousand year Yagam to Lord Vishnu and to listen to stories about the Lord. Yagam means the sacrifice of animalistic tendancies in our minds so as to attain divinity.

(Note – Naimisharanya is the place where disintegration takes place moment by moment. That is, our body itself where cells die every moment).

There Sage Saunaka asked some important questions to Sri Suta (Ugrashravas, the son of Romaharshana and a disciple of Vyasa Deva). He requested Sri Suta to talk about the pastimes of Lord Krishna, which are like sweet nectar to the ears.
