Has someone else besides A.C. Bhaktivedanta Swami done more to make the incomparable wisdom from the tree of the ripened fruit of Vedic wisdom, the Bhagavat Purana, available to everyone on this planet? We face an emergency situation. If anyone can imbibe the knowledge from the Srimad Bhagavatam in any way shape or form, they increase the likelihood that they will become part of the solution rather than part of the problem on this beleaguered globe. Finding fault with the particular way this message may be imparted and to whom, could in itself be problematic. In all ISKCON temples around the world the Bhagavatam is recited daily year round every morning. You and anyone else is invited to attend. There is no charge. Why limit it to only one week?

One week program is designed for people who may have a short amount of time to live, or for people who can take only a 7 day vacation from their vocation.

Eighteen thousand verses in Sanskrit must be heard in the 7 days.
or 2572/day
Which takes about 12 to 16 hours per day including translation.
Summarizing Bhagavatam is not the correct method.
If someone wants to cut the time, they should just listen to the original Sanskrit version, even if they dont understand anything.
Liberation comes from listening to Bhagavatam. Liberation also comes from reciting Bhagavatam.
You must listen to Bhagavatam translation done by an Acharya from one of the 4 Sampradaya only and does not have to be ISKCON.
