Gandharvas and Danavas came to listen to the Harikatha.

The four Kumaras then praised the glories of Srimad Bhagavatham, which is also known as Suka Sastra. You can chant Bhagavatham or listen to it, any time you want. Sri Hari will shine forth in all his glory in the hearts of everyone who listens attentively to the Bhagavatham.

How this holy text is structured?

There are 18000 verses in twelve cantos in this great Shastra. It is in the form of a dialogue between Sri Suka and King Parikshit. It is said that you are destined to wander in this Samsarachakra of countless births and deaths until you become fortunate to listen to Bhagavatham. This great Shastra alone can give you liberation.

A house where the Bhagavatham is recited daily, becomes a holy place and those people are freed from their sins. A thousand Aswamedha Yagas and a hundred Vajapeya yagas do not have even one sixteenth of the glory of the Bhagavatham. No sacred rivers, tirthas and holy places have the greatness of Bhagavatham. None of them can give you the punyam provided by the Bhagavatham.
