Introduction to the Sixth Canto

Sixth canto talks about ‘Poshanam’. As our body needs nutritious food for its healthy maintenance, our mind also needs positive thoughts for its strength and courage. We seldom realize the influence of positive thoughts; hence we do not care to cultivate it.

So one eventually falls into the ditches of negativity and suffers silently and become violent often. Mind decides the quality of life and every individual is the master of their own mind.

If one ignores that, they miss a great opportunity to uplift their mind. This is generally because of their association with whom they interact and depend on. If a negative mind influences another weak mind, it leads to pleasure in the beginning, but disaster in the end.

We often see in the media how people fall into infatuation and finally reach a total disastrous and disgraceful life.

Here Bhagavatham is a great guidance which enlightens us how one should cultivate positive and transformative thoughts which help one’s own upliftment.
