Lectures and Commentaries on Srimad Bhagavatam Canto 1, made in Vrindavan (India)
The purpose of Śrīmad Bhāgavatam is to glorify the Supreme Absolute Truth, known as Śrī Kṛṣṇa, for the benefit of the suffering humanity. Śrī Vyāsa himself calls this Purāṇa the ripened fruit of the Vedic tree and compares it to the personification of rasa, or devotional relish. It is to be tasted by the rasikas, the connoisseurs of rasa, and relished by the sahṛdayas, the sober-hearted people or those whose hearts are imbued with sattva (SB 1.1.3)
Asuras are those who don’t accept or oppose God, or Guru. Asuras won’t go to hell, because they are already in hell. They are carrying the hell in their heart. Don’t try to reason with them because they are only going to disturb your mind, waste your time, and in the end, they are not going to change.
