It removes the fear of death from a person's mind and paves the way for his welfare. The sins of the person listening to the story are absolved of his sins of many births. There is light of knowledge in life. While explaining the importance of the story to the devotees on the fifth day of Shrimad Bhagwat Katha organized at Sadhubela Ashram in Bhupatwala, Swami Gaurishankar Das Maharaj said that listening to Shrimad Bhagwat Katha leads to spiritual development and deepens devotion towards God. Shrimad Bhagwat Katha is the essence of all the Vedas. Man becomes satisfied by listening to this.
Katha Vyas Mahant Shravan Muni Maharaj said that Shrimad Bhagwat Katha makes human life meaningful. Every living being and human being takes birth but he does not understand the meaning of his life. From childhood till death, he makes this precious life mortal by being engaged in worldly activities. Shrimad Bhagwat is a story which shows the purpose and direction of life. Therefore, wherever there is Bhagwat, just by listening to it, the entire area there gets rid of evil tendencies and becomes empowered with positive energy.
