Srimad Bhagavatam class is not meant for discussing politics, personal problems, local management, etc. Srimad Bhagavatam class is meant for deepening our attachment to hearing the transcendental pastimes and instructions of the Supreme Lord and His pure devotees. Such classes should inspire the proper service attitude towards the Supreme Personality of Godhead. If the speakers have an agenda that they want to communicate to the devotees, they should schedule regular (ishta-goshtis) for discussing such topics. Otherwise, each speaker should prepare his or her class nicely so that the devotees’ enthusiasm to attend Srimad-Bhagavatam class will increase.
