Podcasts about Varaha

Let me admit up front that I like Rishab Shetty. A lot. I'd probably go see anything he makes, and I wish him well, because he is an actor with terrific presence. To be honest, I was blown away by his performance in Kantara, both as protagonist and director/writer. I had no idea about the bhoota-kola of Tulunadu, although I have seen the similar theyyam of nearby Malabar, and was suitably impressed.Therefore I was disappointed and underwhelmed by the prequel Kantara Chapter 1, for a variety of reasons. I understand this is not the universal reaction to the prequel: in particular, young people I spoke with liked the esthetics, the special effects, the big budget production, and the expansive canvas of the spice trade, a large kingdom, and good cast including veteran Jayaram as the weary king, and Rukmini Vasanth as a suitably gorgeous but sinister princess.But to me it came across as an untidy mishmash of various genres, with the principal purpose of creating a franchise: surely we can expect Chapter 2, Chapter 3 and so on. I don't begrudge Rishab Shetty and his producer their success, especially as the original Kantara was a sleeper success on a tiny budget.Warning: spoilers ahead.My problems were manifold. The first was that the original Kantara hit me with the force of a hurricane, when the coming-of-age tale of the wild-boar-hunting-and-carousing Shiva takes a sudden and unexpected turn and he becomes, reluctantly, the bhoota-kola oracle, taking on the role of his father who disappeared, and his cousin who was murdered.It was a revelation: a moment when a man turns into the Divine, in a wholly believable and entirely autochthonous, Dharmic tradition, a celebration of the presence of benign powers all around, a manifestation of a pantheistic world-view. It was one of the few recent films that powerfully put across a wholly Hindu perspective, which unfortunately is unusual in India.As a child, I remember devotional and patriotic films in Malayalam, which engendered a certain affection for the traditions of one's forefathers. And often the story-lines, from well-known literary works, were rooted in the local milieu. Over time, this has been dissipated, and replaced by unremarkable films that are technically quite good, but for lack of a better word, lack ‘soul'.In general, this has been true of the dominant Hindi/Urdu language films as well: the narrative is some kind of a global, ‘liberal', westernized, ‘modernized' and deracinated tale, where in particular Hindus get short shrift. For example, a recent, highly-rated Malayalam film mined Kottarathil Sankunny's Aithihya-mala, but turned the protagonists into people of other religions. There was another named 19th Century in which the recently-invented (in the 2010s) fiction of a ‘breast-tax' on lower-caste women was turned into ‘fact'.This sort of digestion of, and worse, denigration of, native tradition has been true of Hindi/Urdu films for a long time as has been amply and devastatingly recorded by the efforts of ‘Gems of Bollywood' on twitter. Therefore it is refreshing when a few films offer a Hindu point of view, eg. Kantara, Bahubali, or the shatteringly powerful Baramulla. This is one reason I am loath to criticize Rishab Shetty too much, but I do have my own complaints.One is that the Kantara Chapter 1 seems like a mish-mash of various ideas, borrowed from various sources. The origin myth of the hero Berme, where he appears as an abandoned child on a bed of leaves (and the presence of the computer-generated white tiger) may be a nod to the Sabarimala legend: Lord Ayyappa is a foundling, and he is sent on an errand to fetch tiger's milk by the evil queen who hopes that he will die in that quest.Then there is the battle of the good vs bad, which reminded me of the battle scenes from Bahubali, and indeed the dark-skinned barbarians from that film got a reprise here with the black-cowled evil sorcerer Kadapa tribe. And I wondered in passing if the very name ‘Kadapa' was a reference to the Telugu stronghold of the proselytizing Christian Reddys.Then there is the untidy story of the port city that the Kantara folks want access to, so they can sell spices to white people with no middleman. They also dragged in a superfluous white trader. Yes, the West Coast has been trading with the Middle East and points west for millennia via the Spice Route, but that seems irrelevant to the deep-forest-dwelling Kantara villagers.In addition, there were cliched memes about slavery (of tribals) and exploitation by the rich and powerful. These came across as nods to the prevailing dogma of woke victim narratives. The remarkable thing is that slavery was virtually unknown among Hindus: the first textual and/or epigraphic examples of slavery in India were by a Christian church in Kerala (the Tarisapalli copperplate, 849CE) and during the Muslim invasions.The characters were also hit and miss. There were the picaresque companions from the original film, including a vidushaka type who was silly in the original, but annoying here; so was the prince's kinkara. Neither of them added much to the film, and could easily have been written out. The prince was so typecast from the moment you laid eyes on him – clearly a dissolute, useless fellow – that you knew he was going to be dispatched summarily.I did like the princess. She was apparently born with paralysis in her hands and legs, and she was handed over to the sorcerer Kadapas, who cured her, but also (it is implied) turned her into a wily seductress, whose efforts to distract the hero (Berme) from his quest were, fortunately, futile. The old king was rather good, too. Rishab Shetty impresses as always with his physical presence, as well as his signature primal roar.I missed the glowing varaha and the superb Varaha-roopam song which was so electric in the original Kantara. (I hear there were some copyright claims from a band in Kerala, but it baffles me that an old traditional song or tune could be copyrighted by some upstart.) There was a little piglet in one scene, but that was not enough. The VFX of the Brahma-rakshas was unsatisfying, and should have been left to the viewer's imagination.All in all, the prequel was a disappointment after the original Kantara, which was refreshingly unpretentious: it did not preach, nor did it explain – it just was, and it forced you to accept the reality of the demigods Panjurli and Guliga. In effect, you went into an alternate reality, along with the bhoota-kola dancer. There was no such staggering insight in the prequel Kantara Chapter 1. If you were expecting a spiritual high, as I was, you'd be disappointed.If on the other hand, you were looking for light entertainment on a big canvas, you'd be just fine.Thus my dilemma about the prequel: yes, it does tell a Hindu tale, and I once again wish Rishabh Shetty the best, but I wish it had left me feeling spiritually moved as the original did.1200 words, 16 Nov 2025The AI-based Malayalam podcast on this by notebookLM from Google.

दिति का गर्भाधान | अध्याय 14 ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠instagram ⁠https://www.instagram.com/ashishpmishra/⁠ Youtube ⁠⁠Youtube : https://www.youtube.com/@sanatansudha⁠⁠ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ "श्रीमद भागवत कथा पॉडकास्ट के इस अंक में हम सुनेंगे अध्याय 14 जिसमें विदुर जी  भगवान विष्णु के वराह अवतार और दानव हिरण्याक्ष के साथ उनके युद्ध का उद्देश्य समझने की इच्छा व्यक्त करते हैं। इसके उत्तर में, ऋषि मैत्रेय दिति की कथा सुनाते हैं, जो दानवों की माता थीं और अपने पति, ऋषि कश्यप के साथ संतान पाने की तीव्र इच्छा रखती थीं। लेकिन, दिति की अधीरता और दिव्य समय का पालन न करने के कारण, उन्हें ऐसे दो विनाशकारी पुत्रों को जन्म देने का भाग्य मिलता है - हिरण्याक्ष और हिरण्यकश्यप, जो बाद में देवताओं का विरोध करेंगे और संसार में आतंक फैलाएंगे। कश्यप उन्हें सांत्वना देते हैं और यह भविष्यवाणी करते हैं कि यद्यपि उनके पुत्रों का अंत भगवान विष्णु के हाथों होगा, उनका पोता प्रह्लाद अपनी शुद्ध भक्ति का प्रतीक बनेगा और धर्म, करुणा और दया का प्रकाश स्तम्भ बनेगा। यह अध्याय दर्शाता है कि दिव्य सिद्धांतों की अवहेलना के गंभीर परिणाम होते हैं, साथ ही यह भी कि सच्ची भक्ति से मुक्ति और आत्म-परिवर्तन का मार्ग प्राप्त किया जा सकता है, जैसा कि भविष्य में प्रह्लाद की भक्ति के माध्यम से देखने को मिलेगा। in this Episod of ShirmadBhagwat we ll listen howVidura seeks to understand the divine purpose behind Lord Vishnu's incarnation as a boar (Varaha) and his battle with the demon Hiraṇyākṣa. In response, Sage Maitreya recounts the story of Diti, the mother of demons, and her intense longing for children with her husband, Sage Kaśyapa. However, due to Diti's impatience and disregard for divine timings, she is destined to bear two destructive sons, Hiraṇyākṣa and Hiraṇyakaśipu, who would later oppose the gods and terrorize the universe.   Kaśyapa consoles her, foreseeing that while her sons will meet their end at the hands of Lord Vishnu, her grandson, Prahlad, will embody pure devotion, becoming a beacon of righteousness and compassion. The chapter illuminates the consequences of disregarding divine principles while also emphasizing redemption and the transformative power of sincere devotion through the future devotion of Prahlad.   Welcome to our podcast, where ancient wisdom meets modern ears in an immersive exploration of the Shrimad Bhagwat.

भगवन के विरत स्वरुप और लीलावातारों की कथा | अद्याय 6 और 7 In today's episode we will listen Shrimad Bhagwat katha's Canto 2, Chapter 6: "Purusha Sukta Confirmed" In this chapter, Brahma describes the universal form (Virat Purusha) of the Supreme Personality of Godhead to the sage Narada. He explains how the different parts of the cosmos correspond to the body of this universal form. Brahma elaborates on the creation process, the various elements and entities within the universe, and how all living beings are part of this grand design. The chapter highlights the glory and omnipresence of the Supreme Being and emphasizes the interconnectedness of all creation. Canto 2, Chapter 7: "Scheduled Incarnations" This chapter details various incarnations (avatars) of Lord Vishnu and their divine activities. Brahma narrates these stories to Narada, explaining how each incarnation appears at different times to restore dharma (righteousness) and protect the devotees. The chapter includes descriptions of well-known avatars like Matsya, Kurma, Varaha, Narasimha, Vamana, Parashurama, Rama, Krishna, and Buddha, among others. Each incarnation is shown to have a specific purpose, demonstrating the Lord's compassion and commitment to the welfare of the universe. यहाँ श्रीमद्भागवत महापुराण के द्वितीय स्कंध के छठे और सातवें अध्याय का संक्षिप्त सारांश है: द्वितीय स्कंध, अध्याय 6: विराट स्वरुप की विभुतियों का वर्णन | इस अध्याय में ब्रह्मा ऋषि नारद को भगवान के विराट पुरुष रूप का वर्णन करते हैं। वे बताते हैं कि ब्रह्मांड के विभिन्न हिस्से इस विराट रूप के अंगों के अनुरूप हैं। ब्रह्मा सृष्टि की प्रक्रिया, ब्रह्मांड में विभिन्न तत्वों और प्राणियों के बारे में विस्तार से बताते हैं और समझाते हैं कि सभी जीव इस महान डिजाइन का हिस्सा हैं। यह अध्याय भगवान की महिमा और सर्वव्यापकता को उजागर करता है और सभी सृष्टि की पारस्परिकता को रेखांकित करता है। द्वितीय स्कंध, अध्याय 7: लीलावातारों का वर्णन यह अध्याय भगवान विष्णु के विभिन्न अवतारों और उनकी दिव्य लीलाओं का वर्णन करता है। ब्रह्मा नारद को इन कहानियों का वर्णन करते हैं और समझाते हैं कि प्रत्येक अवतार विभिन्न समयों पर धर्म की पुनर्स्थापना और भक्तों की रक्षा के लिए प्रकट होता है। इस अध्याय में मत्स्य, कूर्म, वराह, नरसिंह, वामन, परशुराम, राम, कृष्ण और बुद्ध जैसे प्रसिद्ध अवतारों का वर्णन किया गया है। प्रत्येक अवतार का एक विशिष्ट उद्देश्य होता है, जो भगवान की करुणा और ब्रह्मांड के कल्याण के प्रति उनकी प्रतिबद्धता को दर्शाता है। --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/ashish-p-mishra/support

Eccoci alla nuova puntata del Podcast! Riprendo, dopo una breve digressioni su altri temi, a narrare la storia degli avatara di Visnu. Come ho già ricordato nelle scorse puntate, Visnu, la divinità suprema nel pantheon indù, si reincarna periodicamente sulla terra per ripristinare il dharma, l'ordine eterno. Per fare questo si trova spesso ad affrontare delle battaglie simboliche con alcuni personaggi che rappresentano le forze disfunzionali dell'esistenza.  Il terzo Avatara di Visnu è chiamato Varaha, ovvero il cinghiale. Questa storia si svolge in un'epoca in cui la terra era oppressa da un demonio malvagio di nome Hiranyaksha.  Come spesso faccio, trarrò il racconto dalla bellissima raccolta di miti indiani scritta da Anita Nair “La mia magica India” edita da Donzelli editore. Al termine dell'episodio troverai una pratica meditativa per accordarti con la forza e i simboli di Varaha. Quindi non aspettare oltre. Fai clic su play e buon ascolto! ✨ Ricordati di seguirmi su Instagram o Facebook per rimanere aggiornata/o su tutti i nuovi episodi e le sorprese che ho per te.

Feb 13, 2003 Brazil Continued from Part 1

Varaha avatara

This essay was published by firstpost.com.The Hero's Journey is a common metaphor used by storytellers from the Ramayana to the Iliad, and in innumerable modern works. You have the hero rising, then facing odds that are so overwhelming that he is on the verge of failure, but he often wins in the end, and is transformed or redeemed in the process. And indeed, for each of us, our own lives are heroes' journeys, as the mythologist Joseph Campbell elucidated in a series of excellent documentaries.Both the recent films Kantara and Rocketry: The Nambi Effect, in my opinion, fall into this broad categorization; but what's notable and different is that they are about very Hindu heroes, quite a departure from the standard Indian film (especially of the Urduwood variety) where overt Hindus are usually depicted with contempt or disgust. The two films are very different from each other, of course, but it is telling that they both resonate with audiences, in a visible departure from the conventional wisdom that holds that neither a Hindu nor a nationalist should be depicted with sympathy, and especially not a Hindu nationalist. There is another Hindu meme: the local and the national are not meaningfully distinct, just as the Atman and Brahman are not. Kantara, set in the Tulu-land of Dakshina Kannada district, Karnataka, is instantly understandable to Hindus anywhere; and Rocketry, the story of a patriot of Tamil origin living Thiruvananthapuram, who is attacked and to whom tejovadham is done by mysterious, malign forces, is understandable to any Hindu, we whose face hostility in India and elsewhere.When I saw Kantara, I was surprised by how normal the story was to me: of course, obviously, there are spirits, or demi-gods/daivas all around. This is something that I grew up with. I remember as a small boy being taken by my grandfather to the bharani festival of the village Devi temple in central Travancore: there were wondrous, magical things there then. Much later, I watched theyyams in Malabar, which is adjacent to Tulunadu, and the wonderful costumes are almost identical to those in the Bhoota kola depicted in the film; some of most impressive were thee-pothi (the fire-goddess) and the gulikan (the fierce deity identical to guliga in the film), especially as they performed at dusk. The belief in possession by spirits, as in the hypnotic sarpam-thullals (serpent-dances) of Travancore or of velichapads (oracles) in many parts of Kerala, holds no surprises for me. It is easy for a practicing Hindu to believe in them. It is not hard to imagine benign (and malign) spirits all around, for example as in O V Vijayan's story The Little Ones, luminous ancestral spirits that help in times of trouble. I had a personal experience of the Divine, on my first trip to Sabarimala when I was a teenager. It was an incredible religious experience: for a moment, a glimpse of something extraordinary, a powerful vision of the Infinity of Grace. My friend, a doctor, tells me of medical miracles that can only be attributed to the power of prayer and Divine Grace.In Kantara, the protagonist Siva consistently and carefully avoids the bhoota kola, as he was traumatized by the unexplained disappearance of his father, the oracular dancer of the village. He tries to lead the life of a carefree youth, drinking, hunting wild boar and getting into fights; but the panjurli daiva calls to him in his dreams. Spoiler alert: his hero's journey culminates in a spectacular finale.In Rocketry, the fictionalized story of the real-life Nambi Narayanan, the hero's journey is even more evident. After early and brilliant success as a rocket engineer, his life and career were ruined in what was apparently a sordid combination of commercial sabotage by a three-letter acronym spy agency, and a power struggle among Congress politicians in Kerala, with some corrupt policemen in the mix.Even if it is a little exaggerated for rhetorical purposes, Nambi Narayanan's efforts to convince Rolls-Royce's head (a Scot), the French Ariane rocket program, and the Soviet cryogenic labs to transfer technology and know-how to ISRO are amazing stories that I too had not heard, even though I live in Thiruvananthapuram, where Narayanan and Abdul Kalam did their work on solid and liquid-propelled rockets. Despite Narayanan's value to the Indian space program, and the evident holes in the 1994 Maldivian spy story (see my Rediff column Who killed India's cryogenic engine?) it took a court saga of 24 years to clear his name, and to get the redemption he deserved (a Padma Bhushan in 2019). In the meantime, India's cryogenic engine was delayed by 19 years. What is remarkable in the film -- and it is disturbing that this should even have to be highlighted -- is that Narayanan is shown as an unapologetic Hindu. There is nothing whatsoever that prevents an observant and pious Hindu from also being an engineer and scientist: no dogma. But the prevailing filmi wisdom, which has become “truth by repeated assertion” is that Hindu rituals are superstition, but Abrahamic superstition is somehow ‘scientific'. The very fact that such films are being made, and are becoming blockbusters, shows that the narrative is shifting (the so-called Overton window). There is pushback, though: a little-known band in Kerala is suing Kantara over the song ‘Varaha-roopam', which has Sanskrit lyrics and traditional tribal music. Because traditional knowledge cannot be copyrighted, it is likely that their intellectual property claim is not sustainable.There were also people grumbling that Narayanan was lionized and that he wasn't as key to ISRO's success as the film makes him out to be. Maybe, but even if it was 50% exaggerated, he is still an amazing engineer and manager, and in any case it was unconscionable by any measure to torture him for 50 days, defame him, and destroy his career. Those who ordered the hit have never been named. My heroes have long been those among us who fight for Dharma and righteousness: Professor Eachara Warrier, Major Shaitan Singh. I am happy to now add Dr Nambi Narayanan to that list, and perhaps Siva, who brings to life the forest deities.1020 words, 3 Nov 2022 This is a public episode.

Russia was known as Rishi Varsha an it surrounded the Bharata Varsha as described in the Puranas. There have been migrations from India, from the Sarasvati Valley Civilization,from the Dravida Kingdoms, and from the North again. There is enough evidence in the present Russia right from the names of Rivers,Olga,Moksha from which Moscow is derived,Karaggana, Utkaraganga, People living in the valley of the River Moksha spoke a language Moksha! Place Arkaim, the name of Surya, Sun is Arka. Arkaim is an important archeological site . Many Hindu Ritual signs are found here. One finds the designs of swastika here and this site is dated 4500BC! Arkaim. But reasonable reactions notwithstanding, why have people who are looking for their roots in the direction of Vedic ancestry been more suspect than any other indigenous people curious about their heritage? After all, it would appear to be an uncommonly large area upon which such ancestors would have enjoyed their apparently advanced culture. Such a culture would seem to have “fed” much of what we now call Western civilization and parts of Asia, including migrated tribes, such as American Indians and even Europeans settling America. Moreover, as we also explore elsewhere regarding linguistic research efforts around the so-called Nostratic or Proto-Language question, some linguists are struggling with the possibility of linguistic ancestral roots for possibly ALL humankind, of all colors, so that the suspect idea of any “superiority” should be supported as an excitement for all of humanity maybe re-discovering its true origin and common spiritual heritage. Mahabharata describes the route to Russia while talking about Kekaya Kingdom. Kaikeyi of Ramayana was born here. “Lahore was the kingdom of Lava, son of Rama. ead my post on this. Peshawar was the kingdom of Pushkalavathy ruled by Pushkala, son of Bharatha. These two cities were established during the reign of Rama, the son of Dasaratha. These cities are in the route toKekaya, today's Kazaksthan which was the maternal land of Kaikeyi, mother of Bhratha. One has to cross riverChakshus to reach Kekaya.  This river is now known as Oxus . It is shown in blue colour in the Featured picture at the top of this Podcast.People who lived in the valley near Moscow worshiped Indra and Vayu. Moscow Empire was ruled by women called Sthree Rajya. It was dominated by women – due to which it got the name Sthree Rajya – the land of women or dominated by women.  They were supposed to seduce men and lead a free life. Varaha mihira has mentioned this place as one of the countries surrounding Bharatha varsha. Vatsyanana also has mentioned about Sthree Rajya in the context of “Grama naari vishayam” where he has said that the women of Sthree Rajya  were free to have sex with a any man they liked. Bhattasmin , the commentator for Artha sastra also has talked about SthreRajya as a country abounding in luxurious artilces and happiness. Please read my post on where an ancient Vishnu Idol was found in Russia. Also there are suggestions that the Rig Veda might have been composed in the Arctic. Please refer my post. So what now is called Russia was following Santana Dharma and many Rishis, Yagnyavalkya and Vasishta traveled and stayed there.,near Vaikhanasa now called Baikal. https://ramanisblog-in.cdn.ampproject.org/v/s/ramanisblog.in/2014/08/19/sthree-varsha-women-kingdom-rishi-varsha-russia-hindu-texts/amp/?amp_gsa=1&_js_v=a8&usqp=mq331AQKKAFQArABIIACAw%3D%3D#amp_tf=From%20%251%24s&aoh=16433716682857&referrer=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.google.com&share=https%3A%2F%2Framanisblog.in%2F2014%2F08%2F19%2Fsthree-varsha-women-kingdom-rishi-varsha-russia-hindu-texts%2F --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/ramanispodcast/message

Recent studies, excavations of archeological sites relating to Hinduism, Sanatana Dharma around the world, from Australia to South America,Europe, Africa, Russia,China and information on the practices of the aborigines in various parts of the world,indicates that the Sanatana Dharma was prevalent in one form or another in all these places, Western scholars used this to invent the Aryan Invasion Theory, that is a Group called Aryans, invaded India thought the Khyber Pass in the Northern part of India and had influenced the thought processes of the people living in India. This Theory, deliberately floated by the British mainly, to subjugate India , now stands discredited. Please read my detailed Post on The Aryan Invasion Theory, Myth. The Aryan theory could not explain the references to the Sanatana Dharma in Tamil Literature, South India. Tamil language dates back to thousands of years and the Vedas quote them and they, in turn quote Tamil. The oldest Tamil site has been found in Pallavaram, Chennai .(dated around  a Million years.) ‘Archaeologists have discovered India's oldest stone-age tools, up to 1.5 million years old, at a prehistoric site near Chennai. The discovery may change existing ideas about the earliest arrival of human ancestors from Africa ‘. https://ramanan50.wordpress.com/2015/06/01/million-year-tamil-site-pallavaram-chennai-dated-report/ Lord Krishna participated in the Tail Sangam as an Invitee. Please refer my Post on this. He married a Pandyan Princess and had a daughter through her, and got his daughter arrived to a Pandyan Prince , gave her a dowry of one hundred Yadava families to provide her and her children with Milk and Curds. The Chera King Perunchotru Udiyan Neduncheralaathan participated in the Mahabharata War as the provider of food to both the Kaurava and Pandava armies. He had Tharpana performed for those who died in the War. Now comes the curious part. Lord Rama ‘s ancestor Satyavrata Manu migrated fro the Dravida Desa(South of Vindhya Mountains) with his sons and his son Ikshvaku founded the Ikshvaku founded the dynasty, named after him, Lord Rama Belongs to this dynasty. https://ramanan50.wordpress.com/2014/12/30/manu-ramas-ancestor-migrated-from-south-india-5000-bc/ Shiva and His son Ganesha left, during the Great Flood, the time when Satyavrata Manu migrated to North, through the Middle east, traveling through europe, Africa,South America, North America((US), Central America, finally landing in the Arctic, where the Rig Veda was composed. Please refer my Post on this. Then they returned to India, then called the Bharata varsha and this entry was used to be denoted as the entry of the Aryans. The Artifacts, archeological finds, cultural similarities, Languages of the found around the world indicates this. Please read my posts on this. Now Six avatars of Vishnu are from the South. Matsya is from the Ocean and as such we can not ascribe a location on the earth. Kurma is in the Ocean again, but there is a Temple where Kurma avatar took place. Kurmnatha is housed in Sri Kurmam Temple, Srikakulam, Andhra Pradesh. Vamana Avatar was in Kerala and the place where Bali had his kingdom was on the banks of Narmada, where the capital of Bali was situuated. The place Varaha killed Hiranyakasipu is in Nepal, V(B0araha Kshetra), yet there is legend that Varaha is from Tirupati which is Adivaraha Kshetra. Narasimha is from Ahobilam ,Andhra Pradesh. Parashurama Avatar is from the South, Kerala. Kalki is expected to manifest in the South. .......The sixty-four avatars of Shiva in Madurai are not mentioned in the North. The Agamas which came later to Vedas specified rules for the construction of Temples, though Temple worship is not mentioned in the Vedas. Tamil Kings followed this and one finds ancient temples, both for Vishnu and Shiva in the South in the Agama style. https://ramanisblog.in/2015/07/05/pre-sanatana-dharma-shiva-in-south-predates-sanatana-dharma/ --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/ramanispodcast/message

After talking about the two earlier incarnations of Lord Vishnu, we move on to his 3rd incarnation in the form of a wild boar Varaha.

This week's guest is Fabio Brienza of Varaha. He moved from Rome as a teenager and found his musical community in Chicago. He compares and contrasts the metal scene in Rome to the scene in Chicago. He also has a background in film and we discuss how writing Varaha's music...

Adapted from Bhagavatham, this is a story of how earth felt tormented by its ungrateful living beings and decided to take back all her gifts. Just like Varaha avatar, Lord Narayana takes incarnation as King Prithu to protect her again.
