On occasion of Guru Purnima, let us listen to the story of Narad Muni and how Lord Shiv became his Guru. This story tells us the importance of a Guru in our lives. This story was narrated by Amar Vyas and is sourced from the text Narad Pancharatra. Parts of this tale have been edited for language and context by gaathastory. The story revolves around Narad Muni, a learned sage who travels across the three worlds, and his quest to find a guru. He attends a religious ceremony in Swargalok, where he is offered a lower position due to not having a guru. He then declares that the next morning, whoever he meets first will be his guru. The old fisherman he meets becomes his guru, but surprisingly, the fisherman transforms into Lord Shiv, the destroyer of the universe, who becomes Narad Muni's guru. Moral: The story highlights the importance of having a guru in one's life. It teaches that a guru is not just someone who imparts knowledge, but also someone who guides and transforms us. The story also emphasizes the value of humility and the willingness to learn from anyone, regardless of their social status or background. Ultimately, the story suggests that a true guru is one who can reveal the divine within us, and that Lord Shiv, the destroyer of the universe, is the ultimate guru of Narad Muni.

| 07 Aug 2024 | The Snakes and the Eels | 00:03:47 | |
"The Snakes and the Eels" is more than just a cautionary tale; it's a mirror held up to human nature and the complexities of decision-making. In the king's rush to protect his son, we see reflected our own tendencies to act hastily in the face of perceived threats. The tragic fate of the eels serves as a poignant reminder of the collateral damage that can result from our actions, no matter how well-intentioned. As we reflect on this ancient story, we are invited to examine our own decision-making processes. How often do we, like the king, react based on fear or anger without fully considering the consequences? In what ways might we be condemning the "eels" in our lives due to their superficial similarities to genuine threats? The tale encourages us to cultivate patience, discernment, and a broader perspective in our judgments and actions. It reminds us that true wisdom lies not in swift retribution, but in careful consideration and measured response. By learning from the king's mistake, we can strive to create a world where innocents are not punished for the crimes of others, and where our actions are guided by wisdom rather than fear. In our modern context, where snap judgments and knee-jerk reactions are all too common, "The Snakes and the Eels" stands as a timeless reminder of the value of thoughtful deliberation and the importance of looking beyond surface appearances. It challenges us to be better, more discerning individuals, capable of navigating the complexities of life with wisdom and compassion. This episode was Narrated by Amar Vyas. Audio editing by Vyas.

| 17 Mar 2017 | The Grey Brown- A Story By Gauri Awasthi | 00:09:23 | |
The Grey Brown is a story written by Gauri Awasthi. This story was submitted by her for the Baaglatha Storytelling Competition. We found this story to be very interesting, and very different from the stories that we have published so far. In Gauri\'s Own Words, \"I have written a story called \'The Grey Brown\'. The genre of the story is thriller. The protagonist of this story is Nancy, a young girl, and other characters are Luna, Lily, Amelia Brown and the teacher. The story traces a young girl going to school after Christmas holidays. She sees a statue she did not see in the school before. Strange things began and she wants to unravel the secret of the grey statue. I like reading thrilling books and like watching thriller, horror or suspense movies, that is why I chose to write a story based on this genre. Hope you like the story. Have a nice day.\" For her award winning submission, she has received a coupon from Earth Baby. Visit www.earthbaby.in | |||
