In this episode, we journey into the life of the great sage Agastya, known for his wisdom, humility, and divine strength. Through three remarkable stories, we discover how he shaped the world with his actions.

In the first story, Agastya sees his ancestors’ souls hanging from a tree, unable to attain moksha because he had not married or produced an heir. Moved by their suffering, the sage creates a girl with divine qualities from nature’s essence. This child, raised by the King of Vidarbha, later becomes his wife Lopamudra — a union of intellect and grace.

In the second story, Agastya seeks wealth to fulfill his wife’s wish for a home. Through wit and divine power, he defeats a deceitful Asura who tricks Brahmins and wins great riches — showing that true wisdom always overcomes evil.

And in the third story, we witness the sage’s might and humility as he brings down the arrogant Vindhya mountain and even drinks up the ocean to destroy the Asuras hiding within it.

These tales remind us that true power lies in balance — of knowledge, compassion, and purpose

In this episode, we dive into the enchanting world of Abhijnana Shakuntala, the immortal Sanskrit play by the great poet Kalidasa. It is a tale of love, destiny, and divine reunion.

Shakuntala, the gentle daughter of sage Vishwamitra and the celestial nymph Menaka, grows up in the peaceful forest hermitage of Sage Kanva. One day, King Dushyanta arrives while hunting and meets Shakuntala. Their eyes meet, and a tender love blossoms. The two marry in secret through the Gandharva custom, and Dushyanta gives her a royal ring as a token of remembrance.

But fate plays a cruel trick — the sage Durvasa, angered when Shakuntala fails to greet him lost in her thoughts of love, curses her that the one she dreams of will forget her. Only when Dushyanta sees the ring again will he remember her.

When Shakuntala travels to the palace, she loses the ring in a river — swallowed by a fish. Dushyanta, unable to recognize her, turns her away. Heartbroken, Shakuntala vanishes into divine care. Later, when the lost ring is found, Dushyanta’s memory returns, and he repents deeply. In the end, guided by fate and the gods, he reunites with Shakuntala and their little son Bharata, the future emperor of India.

This timeless story reminds us that true love, though tested by time and fate, always finds its way back
