True religion is not man-made faith but God's own principles received through surrender to Krishna.Listen — Srila Prabhupada Uvaca
Prabhupāda: If there are people who cannot understand Hindi, so what is the decision? [indistinct]. Hindi or English? Amogha: English.
Prabhupāda: English is all right? There are many foreigners. Amogha: Yes. I think there are many foreigners, they will understand.
Prabhupāda: brūhi yogeśvare kṛṣṇe brahmaṇye dharma-varmaṇi svāṁ kāṣṭhām adhunopete dharmaḥ kaṁ śaraṇaṁ gataḥ [SB 1.1.23] This is a question made by the great saintly persons who assembled in Naimiṣāraṇya to hear about bhāgavata-dharma. Real dharma, as I have already explained yesterday... Dharma means bhāgavata-dharma. Bhāgavata-dharma is not a faith.
It is a fact, characteristic of the human being. Bhāgavata means in relationship with God, Bhagavān, bhāgavata-tattva. This word... From bhāgavata-tattva there is bhāgavata.
The root is the bhaga, and from that root this word is derived, bhāgavata. It is pertaining to the Personality of Godhead and His devotees. Śrīmad-Bhāgavatam is the book of knowledge which is dealing with the Supreme Personality of Godhead with His different devotees. That is called Bhāgavata. There are two kinds of bhāgavata. One Bhāgavata is this book, book Bhāgavata.
This book Bhāgavatam is the sound incarnation of the Supreme Personality of Godhead. And there is another bhāgavata, who is spiritual master or the Vaiṣṇava, a devotee of the Lord. He's also called bhāgavata. A great devotee is called mahā-bhāgavata.
So there are two kinds of bhāgavatas. The mercy representation of God is book Bhāgavata... No. Sound vibration, sound representation of God is from the book Bhāgavatam.
