In this podcast, Swamiji narrates a story of a being that once looked at a flower and exclaimed, “My God! This flower gives unconditional fragrance to all; irrespective of religion, color, caste and creed.” The man then approached the flower and asked how it does this and the flower replied that all the glory went to Mother Earth as it was her who let it bloom. Mother Earth in turn gave all the glory to the clouds that showered the Earth with water and made it fertile. The cloud gave all the glory to Lord Indra who was the master of clouds and Indra to Vishnu who was sustained everything. Vishnu in turn gave away all the glory to Brahma who was the creator of all things. When the being reached Brahma, he replied that all the glory was to the human beings who in turn replied that all the glory was indeed his. Thus, Swamiji says that arrogant mind is the biggest sorrow of human beings. If we get rid of this, we'll be like the flower that gives fragrance to everyone. Join Swamiji's free course now

Bhagwan Ganapati or Ganesha is one of the most worshipped deities in India. According to the legend, Prince Rukmangada of Kaudinya was a handsome and virtuous Prince, loved by all. Once during hunting, he stopped to rest at Sage Vachaknavi's home. The Sage's wife Mukunda fell in love with him and made physical advances to him, which he deftly refused. Mukunda became sad and Lord Indra, taking pity on her came to her home disguised as Rukmangada and fulfilled her wishes. A son named Gritsamada was born to them. When the son grew up, he came to know about the truth of him being an illegitimate son of his parents. He grew sad and wandered into the forests praying all the time to Lord Ganesha to grant him inner solace and peace. Lord Ganesha appeared to him and granted him his wish. Gritsamada requested the Lord to make the forest as his abode and bless the people who visit him. Lord Ganesha agreed and took form as Varadvinayak. The word Ashtvinayaka is a Sanskrit word that means Eight Ganeshas. These eight temples are located in different places, and all of them are considered ‘Swayambhu' or self-originated. These deities are “jagrut,” which means they fulfill the wishes of their devotees.  भगवान गणपति या गणेश भारत में सबसे अधिक पूजे जाने वाले देवताओं में से एक हैं।  पौराणिक कथा के अनुसार कौडिण्य के राजकुमार रुक्मंगदा एक सुंदर और गुणी राजकुमार थे, जो सभी को प्रिय थे। एक बार शिकार के दौरान वे वाचकनवी ऋषि के घर विश्राम करने के लिए रुके। ऋषि की पत्नी मुकुंद को उनसे प्यार हो गया और उन्होंने उनसे शारीरिक संबंध बनाए, जिसे उन्होंने चतुराई से मना कर दिया। मुकुंद उदास हो गया और भगवान इंद्र, उस पर दया करके रुक्मंगदा के रूप में उनके घर आए और उनकी इच्छाओं को पूरा किया। उनसे ग्रितसमदा नाम का एक पुत्र उत्पन्न हुआ। जब बेटा बड़ा हुआ, तो उसे अपने माता-पिता के नाजायज बेटे होने की सच्चाई के बारे में पता चला। वह उदास हो गया और जंगलों में हर समय भगवान गणेश से प्रार्थना करता रहा कि वह उन्हें आंतरिक शांति और शांति प्रदान करे। भगवान गणेश ने उन्हें दर्शन दिए और उनकी इच्छा पूरी की। ग्रितसमदा ने भगवान से वन को अपना निवास स्थान बनाने और अपने आने वाले लोगों को आशीर्वाद देने का अनुरोध किया। भगवान गणेश सहमत हुए और वरदविनायक के रूप में रूप धारण किया। अष्टविनायक शब्द संस्कृत का शब्द है जिसका अर्थ है आठ गणेश। ये आठ मंदिर अलग-अलग जगहों पर स्थित हैं, और इन सभी को 'स्वयंभू' माना जाता है। ये देवता "जागृत" हैं, जिसका अर्थ है कि वे अपने भक्तों की इच्छाओं को पूरा करते हैं। Learn more about your ad choices.

His father wanted his son to be the most supreme warrior, extremely knowledgeable and undefeated in battle.Ravana was a great astrologer who knew that to make his son immortal and have all the qualities that he wished, all the planets and constellations should align in a certain way. As all the planets feared him, they aligned so that they came in the 11th house of Meghanada's horoscope. However, Shani (Saturn) violated Ravana's orders and positioned himself in the 12th house making him mortal. This led to the death of Meghanada at the hands of Lakshmana.Indrajit's wife was not mentioned in the original epic Ramayana. However, later versions mention his wife Sulochana who was the daughter of Shesh Nag, the King of serpents.Other NamesIn Sanskrit, the name “Indrajit” is translated as “Conqueror of Indra” which was a title given to him after defeating the god Indra.

This was denied and he was given a celestial chariot which made him immortal as long as he was mounted on it.Brahma was impressed by the valor shown by Meghanada in the war, and he bestowed upon him the name Indrajit. It is also believed that he was promised that he would only be killed by another mortal who had not slept for 14 years.Modern Day InfluenceMeghnada or Indrajit is also a popular figure in other South East Asian mythologies .

Chimes Radio and Katha Kuteera bring to you the story of the 5th incarnation of Lord Vishnu. Prahlada ruled for a long time on earth. His devotion to Lord Vishnu spread far and wide. Not just him but his grandson, King Bali also followed his path. King Bali was very noble and kind. After the Samundramathan Bali was defeated by the Devas led by Lord Indra. He was unconscious but was brought back by Sukhracharya with the Sanjeevni mantra. Sukhracharya became his guru. Bali was very furious at Lord Indra. He performed a great sacrifice to regain his power and strength. He attacked Devaloka and ransacked all the wealth of the Gods. Bali grew stronger and mightier by performing several sacrifices and started enjoying the wealth and affluence of the Devaloka. He was full of pride and felt like the Lord of the three worlds. Aditi, the mother of all Gods and wife of sage Kashyapa, could not see her son suffering. She took on a severe vow and started praying to Lord Narayana to save her sons. Lord Narayana pleased with her prayers promised to be born as her son. A child was born to Aditi. He was called Vamana, a dwarf because of his small height. He learned the Vedas and became a learned boy completing all the ritualistic practices. King Bali around that time, decided to perform a sacrifice of donating his wealth to people near the banks of the river Narmada. When Lord Vamana visited the place, Bali welcomed him with humility. He washed Vamana's feet and asked the Lord about his needs. Vamana said he just needs three footsteps of land. Bali insisted on asking more but Vamana stood by his word. However, Sukhracharya, understood that the dwarf was Lord Vishnu who had come to end Bali's reign. The moment Bali was done with the offering rituals, Lord Vamana started growing into a size that touched the sky. With his first step, he covered the entire earth, and with the second, he covered the world above. There was no place for Vamana to keep his third step. King Bali realized his mistake and asked the Lord to keep the third step on his head. Lord Vishnu was pleased with Bali's devotion and sent him to the netherworld to be the ruler there. Though Bali was born as an Asura, his truthfulness and devotion helped him earn Lord's love. 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.

Day 4 - Govardan Pooja This is associated with the story of Krishna where he suggested to the people of Vrindavan to pray to the Mountain and not to Lord Indra. What followed was anger of Indra and major destruction caused by him.  But, now Krishan protected all by lifting the Govardan parvat on his little finger.  Point to Ponder: This shows that when we take one step, God takes a 1000 steps towards us. We worked towards purification and we welcomed him into our hearts through Bhakti. Not only, did he give us Contentment, but now when our Indriyas (Indra) attack us, he will protect us from falling into the pit of darkness again.  A state of ‘Total Surrender'
