The work has been made greatest contribution to spreading spirituality among the masses is the Srimad Bhagavatam. Sage Vyasa wrote it in order to impact jnana (Spiritual knowledge) through bhakti (devotion). Abounding with stories of the Lords incarnations, biographies of his devotees, spiritual counsel and practical tips on living, the Bhagavatam is beloved equally of the young and old, regardless of sex. Reading the Bhagavatam or listening to it is enough to nourish wisdom and devotion. The SAPTAHAM- a religious function during which the Bhagavatam is read and its meaning explained over Seven days- is an ideal means of promoting spiritual awareness among masses.
