Protocol in Srimad Bhagwat

Srimad Bhagwat is a comprehensive puran projecting the advent of Vishnu in various incarnations. In this book, the author has tried to trace the protocol in the life of people i.e. political, social and spiritual in Pauranic era and comparing it with the modern concept of protocol. The spiritual protocol indicating protocol within Gods, seniority in Gods, God-Jiva relation, is found in abundance. We also find mention of laws of war, laws of peace, international relations, international agreements, relation between the king and his subjects, the duties of the king and the subjects; social protocol about varan ashram institution, multi marriages by kings and not others, equality amongst people of all varnas in performing bhakti, attending social and royal functions, order of precedence in making seating arrangements in all functions as per capability and not as per varnas, division and supremacy of labour, allotment of priorities for jobs; administrative protocol about relation of king with his ministers, advisers etc. For the sake of maintaining flow and continuity, related aspects of the protocol have also been included in the text. This makes the book a precised form of Srimad Bhagwat itself and it is considered that it will be of interest to scholars and general readers.
