Dandavat Pran, Guruji Maharaja!

Please accept my humble obeisances unto Guruji Maharaja’s padamacharan that today I have counted the total number of slokas in a Sampurna Bhagavatam edited and printed at Gita Press, Gourakpur. The number of slokas are as under :

Skandha          1 :    800

                        2 :    391

                        3 :  1,411

                        4 : 1,405

                        5 :    678

                        6 :    821

                        7 :    780

                        8 :    931

                        9 :    964

                     10 :  2,005

                           : 1,933

                     11 :  1,366

                     12 :     566         

              Total    : 14,051

                                   504  - Bhagavatam Mahatvam (Beginning)

                                    199  - Bhagavatam Mahatvam (End)  

   Grand Total   : 14,754

      Less     (-)        3,246

      Total           : 18,000

Guruji! Please checked and verify the no. of slokas in a complete Srimad Bhagavatam. If my counting is wrong please mention the area and if not will it included the Uvacas ( Suka uvacha, Pariksit uvacha, Suta uvacha, Narad uvacha …… etc.) Are there other methods of counting the slokas? Please highlilght me from the former statement of “Srimad Bhagavatam is composed of 18,000 slokas”.

HpS - Hare Krsna. This is not my area of expertise. I will pass this to one SB scholar. Radhika-Raman Das and he can check your counting and method.

If I know Guruji Maharaja’s tentative India tour programme during Sept-Nov., I can retold it to our Bhaktas and Matajis

Yours fallen servant

HpS - Hare Krsna. We will try to get devotees in Australia to fix there dates. Then we are waiting for news from Dr. Samaresh in Kolkatta. Main thing is always Sankirtan. We go where Krsna wants us to go in the Sankirtan movement of Lord Chaitanya.

Then we shall never be separated. What is name of devotee who gave me the Tilak ball for a laddu? How is he? We don't remember seeing him. We hope everything is very transcendental in Manipur.
