    The key takeaways are that Srila Vyasadeva felt incomplete despite his vast literary works. Upon Narada Muni's advice, he realized Krsna's sweet pastimes through bhakti yoga and wrote Srimad Bhagavatam.

    Narada Muni told Srila Vyasadeva that although he had written about dharma, artha, kama and moksa, he had not described Krsna's sweet pastimes in Vrindavan which made Vyasadeva unhappy.

    When Narada Muni left, Srila Vyasadeva entered a trance through bhakti yoga and directly saw all of Krsna's pastimes from His birth to Dvaraka lila.

     Tridandisvami Sri Srimad Bhaktivedanta Narayana Gosvami Maharaja

    Today is the birthday of Srila Vyasadeva, the son of Parasara Rsi.


    Srila Vyasadeva divided the Vedas into four sections, and then he
    took the essence of all the Vedas and Upanisads and wrote
    Brahma-sutra so that everyone would be able to easily understand.
    He then wrote fifty-four Puranas, but they were also very difficult to
    understand. Then he wrote the Mahabharata, and within the
    Mahabharata he wrote the Gita Upanisad or Bhagavad-gita. Still, he
    was not happy, however, but he could not understand the reason.

    In the meantime, his Gurudeva, Srila Devarsi Narada, came and


    asked him, “Why are you not happy? You have fully delineated the subject of impersonal
    Brahman and other knowledge as well. Why should you be despondent in spite of all this?

    Srila Vyasadeva replied, “All you have said about me is perfectly correct. Despite all this I am not
    pacified, and I don’t know why. I therefore question you about the root cause of my
    dissatisfaction, for you have unlimited knowledge. You can tell me, because you are my
    http://www.purebhakti.com/teachers/bhakti-discourses/27-discourses-2008/1068-guru-purnima 1/6
    Gurudeva.”
    27/07/2018 Guru Purnima

    Narada then said, “You have written and divided the Vedas, you have written Brahma-sutra, you
    have written the Puranas and even Mahabharata and Gita. But, you have basically only described
    dharma (religion), artha (economic development), kama (sense gratification), and moksa
    (liberation). You have not written about the fact that although Krsna is the Supreme Lord, He
    performed sweet human-like pastimes of Vraja. That is why you are not happy.

    “Please try to write how Mother Yasoda bound Krsna and chastised Him and, although He is the
    Supreme Personality of Godhead (Para-brahma), He was weeping bitterly because of this.
    Please write about Krsna playing with His friends, and write about how His friends used to
    defeat Him in various games. And write about how Krsna placed His head at the feet of the
    gopis and told them, ‘I have no capacity to repay you, even if I would have the lifespan of
    Brahma.’

    na paraye 'ham niravadya-samyujam


    sva-sadhu-krtyam vibudhayusapi vam
    ya mabhajan durjara-geha-srnkhalah
    samvrscya tad vah pratiyatu sadhuna

    [“I am not able to repay My debt for


    your spotless service, even within a
    lifetime of Brahma. Your connection
    with Me is beyond reproach. You have
    worshiped Me, cutting off all domestic
    ties, which are difficult to break.
    Therefore please let your own glorious
    deeds be your compensation.”
    (Srimad-Bhagavatam, 10.32.22)]

    Narada asked, “Have you written


    Gopi-gita, Venu-gita, Brahmara-gita,
    and the other gitas?”

    Vyasadeva replied, “No, nothing of the


    sort.”

    Narada said, “Oh, you should


    concentrate your mind by bhakti-yoga,
    and then you will realize all these
    pastimes.”

    Then, when Narada Rsi left Vyasadeva’s asrama, Vyasadeva concentrated his mind in bhakti-
    yoga. He entered into trance, and thus he saw that Supreme Para-brahma, Krsna, present before
    him. Srimati Radhika, Lalita, Visakha, His mother Yasoda, His father Nanda Baba, Subala,
    Sridhama, and all His associates were also present. Srila Vyasadeva thus saw Krsna’s pastimes,
    http://www.purebhakti.com/teachers/bhakti-discourses/27-discourses-2008/1068-guru-purnima 2/6
    from His
    27/07/2018 birth up to Dvaraka-lila. He saw how the Guru
    soulsPurnima
    who had forgotten Him were covered by
    maya. He also saw how certain souls in this world, by the help of a bona fide guru, were
    performing bhajana and going towards Krsna.

    In his trance, He then wrote Srimad-Bhagavatam for those who do are not aware of these
    transcendental topics.

    yasyam vai sruyamanayam


    krsne parama-puruse
    bhaktir utpadyate pumsam
    soka-moha-bhayapaha

    [“Simply by giving aural reception to this Vedic literature, the feeling for loving devotional service
    to Lord Krsna, the Supreme Personality of Godhead, sprouts up at once to extinguish the fire of
    lamentation, illusion and fearfulness.” (Srimad-Bhagavatam, 1.7.7)]
    The meaning of the verse is that bhakti enters the heart of those who hear Srimad-Bhagavatam,
    and such persons become happy forever. All calamities and sufferings leave them.

    Srila Vyasadeva then wrote Srimad-Bhagavatam in his trance of bhakti-yoga. After that he
    taught it to his son, Srila Sukadeva Gosvami, and from Srila Sukadeva Gosvami it went to the
    entire world.

    Today is the birthday of that very Vyasadeva, and therefore this day is called Guru-puja or
    Vyasa-puja.
