The Bhagwathaam itself is considered the essence of all of Yasidavid's great Vedic literature.

And the Tenth Canto is, in a sense, the essence of that essence.

And the five chapters that describe Krishna's Rasa Lila, the dance that he does with the Gopis,

all that builds up to that and then the dance itself are considered the essence of the essence

of the, this is the most sacred of all the Vedic literature. This is what it all builds

towards. And this is, in terms of its beauty, in terms of its russah, the emotions that are

expressed in it, in terms of the subject matter itself, you know, it's at its pinnacle um we read that in

these chapters so they're considered extremely sacred there's you know proppad would often

critique um baguatam speakers who were kind of materially motivated that would do um they call them bagabtabtas

seven day discussions on uh bagu tam what they they attract big crowds and uh but they would he

would always say they jump to the 10th canto and especially to the Rassalila, right?

They, they, um, immediately go to the sections, you know, it can draw a big crowd because, oh, they're going to tell these beautiful romantic stories.

Just like harlequin romances are popular books because of the, the subject um it's of interest to the materialistic mind

and so people treat baghvatom that way and and even profit off it make money you attract

huge crowds and profit off it and so he was he was uh very that, saying that, no, no, no, this is the most sacred.

In order to understand it, you know, because it appears externally as a romantic or erotic story,

to really understand it, you need to read the whole Bogotaum building up to that.

So we've done that, right?

You know, on our podcast, we've spent, what is it, six and a half years?

You know, yeah, okay, so we've done the work.

I mean, of course, you know.

Of course, a lot of you join later and haven't qualified yourself.
