Benefits of reciting Srimad Bhagavat Mahapurana

After the complete recitation of Ramcharitmanas, I am reciting Srimad Bhagavat Mahapurana.

You can have Darshan of my home deities here:

Here are some of the benefits of reciting and hearing the Srimad Bhagavad.

The Supreme Lord said: O Grandfather Brahma, one should regularly hear the famous Srimad Bhagavatam (SB) with faith. Know for certain that such hearing is the only means of satisfying Me. 

One who daily reads SB will attain with every syllable the results of giving a brown cow in charity.

One who daily reads or hears even a half or a quarter of a verse of SB attains the results of giving one thousand cows in charity. 

My dear son, one who daily reads SB with full concentration attains the results of studying the eighteen Puranas. 

Vaishnavas like Prahlada Maharaja are always present wherever the topics of SB are discussed. Those who worship SB are beyond the jurisdiction of Kali. 

Those persons who worship the Vaishnava literature SB in their house are freed from all sins and they become worshipable by even the demigods. 

In the age of Kali, I become very pleased with those who regularly worship SB in their house and dance without fear. 

O My dear son, as long as SB is present in one’s house, for that long his forefathers consume milk, ghee, honey, and water. 

One who with devotion gives the gift of SB to a Vaishnava resides in My abode for millions of kalpas. 

One who always worships SB in his house satisfies the demigods for the duration of one kalpa. 

If even a half or a quarter of a verse of SB is kept in one’s house that is glorious. For what is the need of accumulating thousands of other literatures? 

In Kali-yuga, one who does not keep SB in his house can never be delivered from the control of Yamaraja. 

In Kali-yuga, how can one be considered a Vaishnava who does not keep SB in his house? He is more abominable than a candala. 

My dear son, lord of the universe. For My pleasure and the pleasure of the Vaishnavas one should keep SB with devotion.

In Kali-yuga, wherever the auspicious SB is recited, I reside, along with all the demigods. 

My dear son, all the holy rivers, kundas, and lakes, all sacrifices, the seven sacred cities—Ayodhya, Mathura, Maya (Haridvära), Kashi, Kanchi, Avanti (Ujjain), and Dvaraka—and all the holy mountains are present where SB is discussed. 

O lord of the universe, one should hear SB in order to attain fame, religiosity, victory, freedom from sin, or liberation. 

By hearing SB one becomes religious and he lives a long life, free from disease and all sinful reactions. 

O lord of the universe, I speak the truth: those who do not hear the topmost literature, SB, or do not express happiness after hearing it are kept under Yamaraja’s jurisdiction. 

O My dear son, there is no one more sinful than one who does not go anywhere to hear SB, especially on the day of Ekadashi. 

I reside in the house of one who has kept there a verse, a half verse, or even a quarter of a verse of SB.

The purity one attains by hearing SB cannot be attained by visiting Badarikashrama or taking bath in the confluence at Prayaga. 

O four-headed Brahma, I go wherever the topics of SB are discussed, just as a cow spontaneously follows her calf. 

I never leave one who enjoys speaking or hearing SB. 

One who does not offer respects after seeing the auspicious SB loses the pious credits he accumulated over the past year. 

I am unlimitedly pleased with one who stands in respect and then offers obeisances upon seeing SB. 

A person who circumambulates SB achieves the results of an ashvamedha-yajna with every step. Of this there is no doubt. 

For one who stands in respect and then offers obeisances upon seeing SB, I offer him wealth, wife, children, and devotional service.

My dear son, I am controlled by those who worship SB with sixteen ingredients and hear SB with devotion.

O Brahma, O Suvrata, among all types of festivals, the festival of discussing SB is the topmost. 

Those who participate in such festivals for My pleasure and hear Srimad Bhagavatam with devotion and those who worship Srimad Bhagavatam with cloth, ornaments, flowers, lamp, and incense certainly control Me just as a chaste wife controls her good husband.
