Hearing Krishna's pastimes

One who hears the childhood pastimes of Krsna attains attachment for Govinda -Sukadeva Goswami to Maharaj Pariksit after narrating the killing of Putana (SB 10.6.44)
Maharaj Pariksit elucidates the benefits of Krsna Katha and requests Sukadeva Goswami to recite more childhood pastimes of Krsna (SB 10.7.1-2)

Benefits of hearing Krishna Katha :
  1. Pleasing to the ears
  2. Removes any unattractiveness to hearing the Lord's pastimes.
  3. Pleasing to the mind
  4. Removes dirty things from the mind: Because Krsna's childhood activities are so attractive,hearing abt them removes the attraction to hear about material things which is the root cause of material existence
  5. Devotional Service and attachment for the Lord develops
  6. Friendship with devotees
