Category:Conclusion of the Srimad-Bhagavatam
Theme Analysis
The category Conclusion of the Srimad-Bhagavatam synthesizes the ultimate verdicts (siddhānta) of this great scripture. The Śrīmad-Bhāgavatam is not ambiguous; its conclusions are specific and transformative. Foremost is the establishment of Lord Śrī Kṛṣṇa as the summum bonum, the ultimate source of all energies and the original Supreme Personality of Godhead. Consequently, the practical conclusion for all human beings is to engage in unalloyed devotional service—specifically hearing, glorifying, and remembering the Lord. The text further reveals that in the highest stage of devotion (conjugal love), the Lord agrees to be controlled by His devotee. Finally, the Bhāgavatam teaches the devotee how to navigate the material world: accepting both dangerous and prosperous conditions as the grace of the Lord without being disturbed.
- The Ultimate Object: The Bhāgavatam lists many incarnations but concludes that Kṛṣṇa is the original Supreme Personality of Godhead (kṛṣṇas tu bhagavān svayam).
- The Essential Practice: The conclusion of Śukadeva Gosvāmī is that the duty of every living entity is to hear about, glorify, and remember the Lord in all circumstances.
- Transcendental Vision: A devotee is not disturbed by material reverses or success, knowing that both come by the will of the Lord. This is the Bhāgavatam's conclusion on destiny.
- The Highest Perfection: The ultimate conclusion of love is mādhurya-rasa, where the Supreme Lord submits to the control of the devotee's love.
