it through his own composition. Bhagavata Dharma can be performed by
any one directly, as stated in Srimad Bhagavatam (2/3/10)
akamah sarbakamo va
moksa-kama udara-dhih
tibrena bhakti yogena
yajeta purusam param
A person who has broader intelligence, whether he be full of material
desire, without any material desire, or desiring liberation, must by all
means worship the supreme whole, the personality of God head.
Sometimes the Bhagavata Dharma is presented in sastras indirectly, as
stated in Srimad Bhagavatam (2/4/17)
tapasvino dana para yasasvino
manasvino mantra-vidah sumangalah
ksemam na vindanti vina yad-arpanam
tasmai subhadra-sravase namo namah
Let me offer my respectful obeisances unto all auspicious Lord Sri Krisha
again and again, because the great learned sages, the great performers of
charity, the great worker of distinction, the great philosopher and mystic,
the great reciters of the Vedic Hymns and the great followers of vedic
principles cannot achieve any fruitful result without dedication of such
great qualities to the service of the Lord Sri Krsna.
One should consider from scriptures that the Bhagavat Dharma can be
performed in all circumstances, by all persons in all place and time, as
stated in Srimad Bhagavatam (2/2/36) by Sukadeva Goswami -
tasmat sarvatmana rajan
harih sarvatra sarvada
srotavyah kirtitavyas ca
smartavyo bhagavan nrnam
O king, it is therefore essential that every human being hear about, glorify,
and remember the Supreme Lord, the personality of Godhead always and
every where.
The Characteristic of Bhagavata Dharma
It is not possible to exhibit detailed characteristics of Bhagavata Dharma
in this article, as discussed in whole Srimad Bhagavatam, yet as far as
possible we are giving some features of Bhagavata Dharma here. When
the Rsis's headed by Saunak asked Suta Goswami, the disciple of
Vyasadev six questions, he replied:-
sa vai pumsam paro dharmoh
yato bhaktir adhoksyaje
ahaituky apratihata
