Episode 4 The Ripe Fruit of Knowledge

The Story of Vyasadeva and Sukadeva Goswami

Vyasadeva foresaw an age in which people would be less kind and live shorter lives. For them he divided the Vedic knowledge and composed the Mahabharata, yet he still felt his work was incomplete. A visit from Narada Muni reveals what is missing and inspires him to write the Srimad-Bhagavatam, which he will pass on to his son Sukadeva, a child who refused to be born for sixteen years.
