Episode 12. Welcome to the second episode of an insightful conversation with Corine Biria, a devoted student and a highly regarded teacher of Iyengar Yoga from Paris. In this episode Corine reflects on why it is important to work on the yogic path within regular life and why Guruji never wanted his students to renounce the world but face the reality and learn to deal with the daily struggles as a practitioner of Yoga. We also explore why it is essential for a Yoga teacher to be truthful about their personal practice at all times, and what was it like for Corine to walk on the path of Yoga together with her life partner Faeq Biria. “Svādhyāya is the subject of every minute,” Corine says. "It is a continuous wondering and examination of one's actions and behaviour".  I hope this interview will be a great support and inspiration in your Yoga practice and in your own svādhyāya, in your own study and discovery of the Self.

The Ramayana: The Ramayana is an epic poem that tells the story of Lord Rama and his journey to rescue his wife Sita from the demon king Ravana. The story is set in the ancient kingdom of Kosala, where Rama is the prince of Ayodhya. The epic follows Rama's fourteen-year exile to the forest, along with his wife Sita and brother Lakshmana, after being exiled by his father King Dasharatha, on the request of Rama's stepmother Kaikeyi. During their exile, Sita is kidnapped by Ravana, the king of Lanka, who wants to marry her. Rama allies with the monkey king Sugriva and his army, and sets out to rescue Sita and defeat Ravana. The epic describes Rama's journey across forests in the Indian subcontinent, his battles with demons, and his eventual return to Ayodhya along with Sita and Lakshmana, where he is crowned king amidst jubilation and celebration. --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/nilnia/support

On this auspicious Ram Navami week, Swami Mukundananda relates to us the untold story of the Divine Birth of Lord Ram. The virtuous and noble King of Ayodhya, Dasharatha has grown old and had a desire to have a child. He approached Sage Vasishtha and upon his instructions performed a Yagya or a ritual to please the Sun God to beget a child. The Yagya got completed successfully, the Fire god appeared after the Yagya and handed Dasharatha a pot of Kheer which Dasharatha distributed evenly to his three queens. The princes were conceived after the consumption of the Kheer. Months passed by after that and the time of the Divine Birth or the Avatar of Lord Ram came close. The Festivities started in Ayodhya in full swing, the river Sarayu was overflowing with joy and when the Sun reached its peak in the noon, in that auspicious moment, Kaushalya gave birth to Lord Ram. Kaikeyi gave birth to Bharata. Sumitra gave birth to Lakshmana and Shatrughna. King Dasharatha, the queens and the whole of Ayodhya was overjoyed to hear the news of the birth of the four sons. The Birthday of Lord Ram is celebrated as Ram Navami every year. It falls on the Ninth day of the Chaitra Navratri. On this special day, whoever prays to Lord Ram and Mother Sita with full Faith gets all the auspiciousness and their grace.

Then Ravana and Kumbakarna were killed. This is the story of Ramayana.  Ramayana, which means the journey of Rama, is a Hindu epic describing the entire life of Lord Rama along with his wife Sita. Lord Rama is said to be a dutiful son, an ideal husband, a loving brother, a reliable friend, a remarkable king, and a perfect human being. Despite his noble traits, he was very humble and friendly. He is considered the seventh avatar of Lord Vishnu. This avatar was to show the world how a human being should be. The entire life of Rama was very eventful and thrilling. Rama was a prince born to King Dasharatha and his wife Kaushalya. Dasharatha had two more wives Kaikeyi and Sumitra who also had their own sons. The four brothers Rama, Bharata, Lakshman, and Shatrughna were inseparable. During the time of Rama's coronation, Kaikeyi wanted her son to be made the king, so she asked Rama to go to the forest for 14 years. Rama agreed to go to the exile. Lakshman and Sita accompanied him.  They helped many sages and defeated many demons throughout their time of exile. Rama was not only a great friend to humans but also animals. He befriended Sugriva, The Monkey Lord, and promised to protect them from his wicked brother. Jatayu the bird, tried to save Rama's wife Sita from Ravana but got its wings chopped off. Rama wept and thanked him for his service. Rama also welcomed Vibhishan from the enemy camp and expressed his love to everyone. Rama considered Hanuman to be his other brother without whom finding Sita could have been impossible.  As per Hindu beliefs, Rama is the legendary deity who is still alive in the hearts of entire mankind. www.chimesradio.com  http://onelink.to/8uzr4g  https://www.facebook.com/chimesradio/  https://www.instagram.com/vrchimesradio/  Support the show: https://www.patreon.com/chimesradio See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

On enquiring details about those dangerous demons that are ravaging sage's ritual, King Dasharatha refuses to send young Rama along with Sage Vishvamitra on many an account, and thus confronts the Sage's wrath.

Sage Vishvamitra asks King Dasharatha to send Rama to protect the Vedic ritual that is being conducted by him, from the demons that are constantly disrupting it. The sage asserts King Dasharatha that he and the other sages in Dasharatha's court know the capabilities of Rama and though Rama is in his adolescence, he can easily kill the demons. But Dasharatha is upset at this request.

King Dasharatha commences the putrakaameSTi ritual aiming to beget progeny, under the aegis of Sage Rishyasringa. The celestial beings gather to receive the oblations offered in the Horse Ritual conducted by King Dasharatha. They are perturbed at the atrocities of Ravana, and request Brahma to think for a way to eliminate Ravana. Vishnu arrives there and pacifies Brahma and other celestials with an assurance that he will incarnate as human to eliminate Ravana.

King Dasharatha requests Sage Vashishta, the Royal Priest to commence works for the Vedic ritual. Sage Vashishta instructs all the concerned about the discipline to be observed in executing the works. Sage Vashishta also instructs the minister Sumantra to invite various kings of other countries, and those kings will be received with great hospitality. King Dasharatha along with his wives takes ritual vow and enters ritual hall.

King Dasharatha requests the Sages to conduct the Vedic ritual for which the sages indent paraphernalia, which the ministers are ordered to supply forthwith. This chapter is almost a replication of chapter 8, excepting the inclusion of references to Sage Rishyasringa who by now is available in Ayodhya.

Sumantra, the minister of King Dasharatha, details the importance of Sage Rishyasringa and beseeches the king to invite that sage to preside over the contemplated Vedic ritual, for that Sage's entry into any kingdom is auspicious for that land and people.
