[Advaita-l] Bagavtham

[Kaushik Chevendra]

Namaste sir.
Thanks for sharing your views. I agree with you. The gajendra story in the
bhagavatham doesn't describe the lord running etc. Its actually part of the
pothana bagavatham.
Pothana visualises the way the lord comes and writes the poem. It truly
shows the lord's karunyam.
