Hare Krsna Devotees,

Srimad Bhagvtam best among Purans containing 18000 shlokas was first told by Bhagwan to Sri Brahmaji. Thereafter it was conveyed by Brahmaji to Sri Narad Muni who re-conveyed it to Krishn Dwepayan Vyasji. Sril Vyasji then conveyed it to Sril Shukdev Goswami.

Sril Shukdev Goswami told Srimad Bhagvtam as it is to Maharaj Parikshit in the assembly of all learned Rishis. Sril Sut Goswami was also present in that assembly who later told same Srimad Bhagvtam to Sril Shonak & other 88000 Rishis in the assembly at nemisharayan.

The Srimad Bhagvtam which we read contains discussions between Sril Shukdev Goswami and Maharaj Parikshit. It also contains discussions between Sril Sut Goswami and Sril Shonak at nemisharayan.

So, my quarry is whether original Srimad Bhagvtam consists of  18000 shloka or Srimad Bhagvtam which we read now ?. The original Srimad Bhagvtam was scripted by Sril Vyasji. My next quarry is who has written the present Srimad Bhagvtam which we read?.

The above queries are just for academic purpose only and I may please be excused for my basic ignorance.

Hare Krishna,

Your servant

    As mentoned, the Srimad Bhagvatam which we read contains discussions between Sril Shukdev Goswami and Maharaj Parikshit. It also contains discussions between Sril Sut Goswami and Sril Shonak at nemisharayan. So, question is who has written present Srimad Bhagvatam?

    I am obliged that you have taken interest in present query. I may repeat that present Bhagavatam includes discussions between Sril Shukdev Goswami and Maharaj Parikshit and  later between Sril Sut Goswami and Sril Shonak. It implies that presently available edition had been scripted by someone (may be Srila Vyas Devji) after these events.

    The above has not been clarified.Though it will always remain true that the author of the Srimad Bhagavatam remains the Supreme Personality of Godhead Krsna.

    Madhvacharya.

    He went to the Himalayas and meet Lord Vyasadev. Lord told Srimad Bhagavatam to him again.

    Later Ishvara Puri took initiation from Madhvacharya. Madhvacharya is an incarnation of Bhima among Pandavas.

    Later Lord Chaitanya accepted Ishvara Puri as His Guru.

  • Hare Krsna Devotees,

    It is very strange that not a single comment is received. May I also request senior devotees to shed some light on this issue.

    Hare Krishna,
