What is "Sapthaha Sathakrathu?"
When a person completes 108 paarayanas (reading/recital) of
Shrimad Bhagavatham it is equivalent to having conducted a great
Jnana Yagna and this is known as"Sapthaha Sathakrathu".

Should the paarayana
be rendered continuously in order to constitute the "Sapthaha Sathakrathu?"
No, not at all. 108 paarayanas have to be done but with each
paarayana rendered in seven days.

Sri Swamigal conducts
"Sapthaha Sathakrathu" with 108 Bhagavathars. How does this account for?"
It can be done this way, with 108 Bhagavathars, too.
However, it has more significance if done by an individual 108 times.

What is "Saamraajya Pattbhishekham?"
This refers to the rendering of Shrimad Ramayana 24 times.
This, too, has more significance if done by an individual
24 times though, it can also rendered by 24 Bhagavathars simultaneously.

Is there a need
for providing sumptuous meals during such "Sapthaha
Sathakrathu"? Is it not enough to provide the bare minimum?
'Krathu' means yagna. The scriptures say that all
those who participate in a yagna should leave the place
healthier, while the hosts leave weaker. Just as Keerthana,
Katha shravana and pooja are part and parcel of a Sapthaha
Yagna, so too, is provision of sumptuous meals to all the participants.
