AURAcle - the Unsung Heroes

Before the sun rises over Lanka, one demon faces a choice that will change history forever. In this episode of The AURAcle, I , Uti, will explore the story of Vibhishana, the righteous brother of Ravana from the Ramayana. While others remember the great warriors like Rama and Hanuman, Vibhishana is often overlooked despite his courage to stand for truth over family. Join us as we uncover why this quiet, wise prince is one of mythology's greatest unsung heroes—and why his story still inspires us today.

When you are the last line of defense, you have a lot riding on you. Those dying seconds of a game and scores are level. One kick can make all the difference. The focus is always on the shooter, not on the goalie, especially in Indian Women's Hockey. That's where our unsung hero emerges from the shadows to save the day. She is the captain of the team and even then, she does not use a loud voice, flashy endorsements or her authority to show off her position. She quietly goes about what she does best, stop that ball from hitting the back net. Listen in to take 10 minutes in the shoes of Vidya, our unsung hero who holds the last line of defense between doom and glory.
