In all the Vedic scripture, the position accorded to the Srimad Bhagavatam Mahapuran or the Bhagwat Katha is exceptional. The Vedas are, of course, the highest authority. However, Srimad Bhagavatam Mahapuran is like the essence of the Vedic teachings, written by Ved Vyas himself. Knowledge of Vedas and Upanishads is presented in such a blissful manner, with all the Divine pastimes of God and His devotees, that listening to the Bhagwat Katha becomes an experience in itself. Not only does it illuminates our intellect with Divine wisdom, it also moves our heart and fills them with the nectar of Divine love. That is why it is said that this Srimad Bhagavatam or Bhagwat Katha has something that even the Vedas do not have.

Shukdev Maharaj is an unique personality. His divine situation is- he is a leela shuk of Radhaji (divine parrot in Golok) and he serves in the pastimes of Radha Krishna by saying appropriate things for Their pleasure.

Same Shukdev Maharaj remained in the womb of Ved Vyas's wife for 12 years. He controlled his body there and refused to come out. Whenever Ved Vyas used to recite some Ved Mantra, Shukdevji would correct it from within. Ved Vyas was astonished. He wondered, "Who is this soul who is not yet born but is already finding defects in the Ved Mantra which I myself is reciting!" When Ved Vyas ultimately asked him to reveal his identity, Shukdevji said, "Father, how should I introduced myself, in different life times I have become different things, what should I say about who am I?" Ved Vyas, hearing such an answer, asked him to come out of the womb. But, Shukdevji refused and said that if he comes out God's maya will overpower him. Ultimately, Naradji's intervention and convincing, Shukdevji Maharaj came out of his mother's womb. As soon as he came out, Shukdevji, with the power of Yog made his body that of a 12 year old boy's and immediately left the home. In the jungle, on the stage of samadhi, Shukdevji heard few lines of Bhagavatam and got enchanted by the pastimes of Shree Krishna. He was, otherwise, meditating upon the formless light of God, but after listening to one line from Bhagavatam describing Shree Krishna's name, form, virtues and pastimes, Shukdevji couldn't go back to meditating upon formless Brahma.
Parikshit, after being bitten by Takshak Shukdevji Maharaj had only 7 days to survive. So, he went to Shukdev Maharaj and asked him, "What is the duty and means of welfare for a dying man?"
