Srimad Bhāgavata Skanda 2 — The Transcendent Triguṇātīta Virāṭ Puruṣa

“How vast is the Lord’s cosmic form? From His speech flows creation, from His breath life itself, from His glance the sun and stars. Yet beyond all of this, He remains untouched—Triguṇātīta, beyond the three guṇas, the eternal refuge of all beings.” ✨
This reflection concludes with the soul-stirring kīrtana “Thappunodade Bandeya” — rendered by the legendary Pt. Bhimsen Joshi 🎶 — a devotee’s heartfelt plea for the Lord’s boundless grace.

Srimad Bhagavata Skanda 2 – Manifestations of Speech, Vitality, and Creation

✨ “From the mouth of the Cosmic Person arose speech and the Vedas. From His breath, life itself. From His eyes, the Sun. From His skin, the bounty of nature. Every faculty of life—speech, vitality, sight, sound, touch, and even the cycles of birth and death—has its origin in Him.” 🌿☀️🔥
In the next chapter of Śrīmad Bhāgavata Skanda 2, Brahmā continues his revelation to Nārada Ṛṣi, describing how the Lord’s cosmic form manifests creation while remaining ever transcendent.

Srimad Bhagavata Skanda 2 - Narada’s Inquiry Into the Sovereignty of Creation

In the sacred forest of Naimishāraṇya, the sages heard a profound truth: even Brahmā, the Creator, bows to the Supreme Lord Sri Krishna. 🙏
Through the dialogue between Nārada and Brahmā, as narrated by Sutacharya, the sovereignty of creation is revealed—not in the hands of Brahmā, but in the eternal will of Bhagavān.
🎶 Purandara Dāsa captures this essence in his moving composition “Ee pariya sobagāva”, affirming Krishna’s matchless beauty and supremacy.

Parikshit’s Questions on the Lord’s Creation

🌿 Srimad Bhagavatam Reflections 🌿
On the sacred banks of the Ganga, King Parīkṣit—freed from worldly bonds—bowed before Śrī Śukacharya. With his heart surrendered, he asked the most profound questions of life:
✨ How does this creation arise?
✨ How is it sustained?
✨ How does it dissolve back into the Lord?
These are not questions of idle curiosity, but the urgent longing of a soul at the threshold of death. Shuka’s response opens the Śuka Gītā, a stream of verses glorifying the Lord’s supremacy, compassion, and intimate presence in all beings.

🕉️ May we, like Parīkṣit, learn to marvel—not at creation itself, but at the Lord who lovingly pervades and transcends it.

Srimad Bhagavata Skanda 2 – Shaunaka's Quest: From the Gods of Every Desire to the Supreme Goal

In this third Adhyaya, Shaunaka listens as Śuka reveals how every god—whether granting knowledge, strength, or worldly joys—is but a facet of 🕉️Purushottama, the Supreme Lord. All sincere worship ultimately flows toward Him, yet Bhakti—pure, selfless devotion—remains the highest path.
We close with the soul-stirring Sakala Graha Bala Neene by Sri Purandara Dāsaru, reminding us that every cosmic force and auspicious moment draws its power from the Lotus-Eyed Lord alone.

Srimad Bhagavata Skanda 2 – Gods as Facets of Purushottama

🌺 Srimad Bhagavata Skanda 2 – Gods as Facets of Purushottama 🌺
From Brahma’s wisdom to Agni’s brilliance, from the Vasus’ wealth to Shiva’s transcendental knowledge—the devas reflect the infinite attributes of the One Supreme.
Yet, beyond all forms and powers, the sages declare: whatever the yearning—knowledge, power, pleasure, or peace—every sincere path bends toward Sri Hari.
Bhakti is not striving, but surrender. Not conquest, but remembrance. In the sacred flow of nāma-smaraṇa, the Lord’s name becomes both path and goal—refining the mind, softening the heart, and unveiling His blissful presence.
🕉️ Chant. Remember. Surrender. The Lord Himself is the reward.

Srimad Bhagavata Skanda 2 – Bhakti to Lord Sarvātmā

🕉️ Srimad Bhagavata Skanda 2 – Bhakti to Sarvatmā
As the Yogi rises beyond form, identity, and even the subtle elements, what remains?
Not emptiness. Not dissolution.
What remains is belonging—a soul surrendered wholly at the feet of Śrīman Nārāyaṇa.
This final part of Skanda 2 traces the sacred journey of Krama Mukti, where the devotee, ascending realm by realm, sheds every covering until Bhakti alone remains. No merging. No claiming. Only loving surrender to the Supreme.
The sages say:
There is no higher path than Bhakti.
No truer freedom than to serve the Lord of All.
🌺 Concluding with the soul-stirring poetry of Vijaya Dāsaru, as rendered by Pt. Bhimsen Joshi.
