[Advaita-l] Books on Bhagawatam

[rajaramvenk at gmail.com]

It is easy to understand only when we understand superficially, which is tantamount to not understanding. As I mentioned in my other mail on Srimad Bhagavatham, is the moon farther from earth than the sun? That is what the text says. Of course not, but explain how. 

Regarding Valmiki Ramayana being easy, let me ask the inconvenient question: Did Ravana forcefully have sex with Sita? In yuddha khanda, 116 .9 Sita says, "My heart, which was subservient to you, was abiding in you. What could I do, helpless as I was, with regard to my limbs which had fallen under the sway of another?"

He did not and could not even see her properly but explain how.

Jaladharji,

///

In fact when people ask me for advice about learning Sanskrit I advise them 
to try and
translate from these works rather than say Kalidas.

//

Our elders and even my acharya used to say that one can pickup basics of 
sanskrit
by reading vAlmiki's rAmAyaNa.

My own brother is a testimony to this. He only completed pArAyaNa of 
sundarakANDa alongwith pratipadArtha. Now, he is much comfortable in 
speaking & writing sanskrit without any inhibitions.

regs,
sriram
