Srimad Bhagavatam (aka 'Bhagavata Purana' - see below) text image 1 On 13 January 1995, this photographic image of text from the Srimad Bhagavatam was transmitted by the communicating spirit team during The Scole Experiment on to factory-sealed, Polaroid Polapan 35 mm slide film. The Romanised text is: yad atra kriyate karma bhagavat-paritosanam jnanam yat tad adhinam hi bhakti-yoga-samanvitam Scole medium, Diana Bennett, was later guided to a Sanskrit text in an Oxfam shop, which was one of the eighteen translated volumes of the Bhagavatam. It turned out to be the one which contained the translation of the transmitted text. Coincidence? The translation is: Whatever work is done here in this life for the satisfaction of the mission of the Lord is called bhakti-yoga or transcendental loving service to the Lord and what is called knowledge becomes a concomitant factor This image is reproduced on Plate 8 in The Scole Experiment: Scientific Evidence for Life After Death Srimad Bhagavatam text image 2 A further image from the Srimad Bhagavatam arrived during The Scole Experiment on 10 March 1995. It too was in the translated volume the Scole Group now owned. This image is reproduced on Plate 9 in The Scole Experiment: Scientific Evidence for Life After Death What is the Bhagavata Purana? The Bhagavata Purana (Sanskrit: भागवतपुराण; IAST: Bhāgavata Purāṇa), also known as the Srimad Bhagavatam, Srimad Bhagavata Mahapurana or simply Bhagavata, is one of Hinduism's eighteen great Puranas (Mahapuranas). Composed in Sanskrit and available in almost all Indian languages, it promotes bhakti (devotion) to Krishna, integrating themes from the Advaita (monism) philosophy of Adi Shankara, the Vishishtadvaita (qualified monism) of Ramanujacharya and the Dvaita (dualism) of Madhvacharya. The Bhagavata Purana, like other puranas, discusses a wide range of topics including cosmology, astronomy, genealogy, geography, legend, music, dance, yoga and culture. As it begins, the forces of evil have won a war between the benevolent devas (deities) and evil asuras (demons) and now rule the universe. Truth re-emerges as Krishna, (called "Hari" and "Vāsudeva" in the text) – first makes peace with the demons, understands them and then creatively defeats them, bringing back hope, justice, freedom and happiness – a cyclic theme that appears in many legends.
