One of the 7 purposes of ISKCON is “To propagate a consciousness of Krishna as it is revealed in the Bhagavad-Gita and Srimad Bhagavatam”. In the same vein, daily lectures and discussion sessions are organized on verses from Srimad-Bhagavatam and Bhagavad Gita. These scriptures even though are thousands of years old, but their teachings are relevant even now especially when the world is in search of peace and love. Apart from the daily classes, temple organizes special seminars for youth and congregationdevotees as well.

The glories of these scriptures can be understood from following excerpts.

The pastimes of the Supreme Personality of Godhead and His devotees are recorded in Srimad-Bhagavatam so that those who recite these pastimes and listen to them will become purified. Nityam Bhagavata-Sevaya. As a matter of principle, devotees should read, speak and hear Srimad-Bhagavatam persistently, twenty-four hours daily if possible. That is the recommendation of Sri Caitanya Mahaprabhu. Kirtaniyahsadaharih. One should either chant the Hare Krishna maha-mantra or read Srimad-Bhagavatam and thereby try to understand the characteristics and instructions of the Supreme Lord, who appeared as Lord Rsabhadeva, Lord Kapila, and Lord Krsna. In this way, one can become fully aware of the transcendental nature of the Supreme Personality of Godhead. (SB 5.6.16 P The Activities of Lord Rsabhadeva).

We should discuss Srimad-Bhagavatam daily as much as possible, and then everything will be clarified, for Bhagavatam is the essence of all Vedic literature (nigama-kalpa-tarorgalitamphalam). It was written by Vyasadeva (maha-muni-krte) when he was self-realized. Thus, the more we read Srimad-Bhagavatam, the more its knowledge becomes clear. Each and every verse is transcendental. (SB 10.13.53 The Stealing of the Boys and Calves by Brahma).
