Prabhupada Gave At All Levels

The mixture of basic and advanced Krishna consciousness appears constantly in Prabhupada’s purports.  In his Bhagavatam purports, he does not always stick to a storyline.  In his explanation of the verses, he feels free to lecture in each particular purport, expanding on the themes in different directions.  There may be occasion when one wants to read only the verses as translated by Prabhupada or his followers, in order to get more involved in the story flow.  However, we should never think that a careful study of the Bhaktivedanta purports may be avoided or skipped over in our reading of the Bhagavatam.  Rather, the more we study the purports, the more we will appreciate Prabhupada’s relationship with Krishna.  As Prabhupadanugas, we want to understand Prabhupada’s Krishna consciousness as much as we can.  This will help us to understand our own relationship with Krishna.
