Skandha 01: The Beginning of Divine Narration

Skandha 01 sets the sacred stage for the entire Sreemad Bhagavatham. It begins with the sages of Naimisharanya gathering and seeking answers about the essence of dharma in Kali Yuga. Sage Suta narrates the birth of the Bhagavatham, the story of King Parikshit, and the supreme devotion of great souls. This Skandha introduces Lord Krishna as the embodiment of divine love and dharma and establishes the context for the profound wisdom to follow in the subsequent cantos.

Key highlights:

• Sages at Naimisharanya and their six questions
• The arrival of Suta Maharishi and his response
• The birth of Sreemad Bhagavatham after Vyasa’s inner yearning
• The background of King Parikshit and his fate
• The glorious life and leelas of Lord Krishna

📿 A divine opening that awakens the soul to bhakti, surrender, and spiritual inquiry.
