2. Prayers to Gurudeva Om Ajnana Timirandhasya Jnaanaanjana Salaakaya
Caksur Unmilitam yena

With the torch light of divine knowledge you open my eyes blinded by darkness of ignorance.

3. What is Srimad Bhagavatam?
Lord Chaitanya Mahaprabhu once said: “ If all the other holy books were burned and only Srimad Baghavatam remained, we haven’t lost anything at all..”.

4. Facts about Srimad Bhagavatam
Srimad Baghvatam is the Maha Purana that focuses in Bhakti onto the Supreme Lord Sri Krishna
It was written by Veda Vyasa in his most matured stage, who was a disciple of the great sage Narada Muni
Srimad Baghvatam can be compared to a fully ripened nectarian fruit, without even the skin and seed
When once develops taste to Srimad Bhagavatam, no other scripture will be tasteful for him

5. The Most Sweet Nectarian Fruit
nigama-kalpa-taror galitam´ phalam´
suka-mukhad amrita-drava-sam´yutam
pibata bhagavatam´ rasam alayam´
Muhur aho rasika bhuvi bhavukah? – S.B
O expert and thoughtful men, relish Śrīmad-Bhāgavatam, the mature fruit of the desire tree of Vedic literatures. It emanated from the lips of Śrī ŚukadevaGosvāmī. Therefore this fruit has become even more tasteful, although its nectarean juice was already relishable for all, including liberated souls

6. Main Points ... The Srimad Baghvatam is like the most ripen fruit
It is the most important piece of Vedic literature
Note: Srimad Bhagavatam is the natural commentary of Brahma Sutra (Vedanta Sutra)

7. What does Srimad Baghvatam say about Krishna?
Bhagavatm says that the Supreme Lord Krishna has three forms- Brahman, Paramatma, and Bhagavan.
Vadanti tat tattva-vidas
Tattvam yaj jnanam advayam
Brahmeti Paramatmeti
Bhagavan iti sabdyate (S.B )
Learned transcendentalists who know the Absolute Truth call this nondual substance Brahman, Paramatma and Bhagavan.

8. Brahman, Paramatma, Bhagavan
Brahman - This is the impersonal part of the Supreme Lord. This is simply the glowing effulgence of the Personality of Godhead. Brahman is realized by students of the Upanishads
Paramatma- This is the partial representation of the Supreme Lord. It is recognized by Hiranyagarbhas or yogis.
Bhagavan- Is the supreme form of the absolute truth. Bhagavan is realized by the perfect seers of Absolute Truth – only His Bhaktas!.

9. Krishna is the Real Supreme
Ete cāḿśa-kalāḥ puḿsaḥ
Kṛṣṇas tu bhagavān svayam
Indrāri-vyākulaḿ lokaḿ
Mṛḍayanti yuge yuge .. (S.B 1.3.28)
All of the above-mentioned (Vishnu, Narayana, etc. ) incarnations are either plenary portions or portions of the plenary portions of the Lord, but Lord Śrī Kṛṣṇa is the original Personality of Godhead. All of them appear on planets whenever there is a disturbance created by the atheists. The Lord incarnates to protect the theists.

10. Main Points
Lord Sri Krishna is the original Supreme Personality of Godhead
Lord’s incarnations are complete potions or portions of these whole portions.
Whenever the atheists cause trouble, the incarnations appear.
The Supreme Lord incarnates to protect the pious people

11. Conclusion from those Slokas
Srimad Baghvatam says that the Lords three forms: (Brahman, Paramatma, and Bhagavan)
It says that Lord Krishna is the Supreme from whom all the other forms appear
The Lords incarnations come down to Earth to protect the theists when adharma arises
Srimad Baghvatam is the most important of all the scripture.
