Marm ni vaat (Gujarati) - Bhagvat Puran - Devi Bhagvat

In this episode, we explore what to avoid as a human being that can bring our soul to fall further. Bhagvan Kapil ji explains how easy it is for humans to lose focus on the soul upliftment. 

In this episode, Bhagvan Kapil explains to mother Devhuti, how to focus on Bhakti. He also states why a human being should look at the murti (statue) of the Lord as a vehicle to reach beyond the statue itself and move one's soul to the Brahmapada. 

Bhagvan Kapil explains how one should bring themselves to focus on the different body parts of the Lord Vishnu. He mentions that without cleansing of the soul, just trying to focus will not work and most importantly, the process will take its own time. 

In this episode, Bhagvan Kapil explains the prior steps that one needs to take before getting onesel ready for ashtanga yoga. Ashtanga yoga is not just the practice of asanas but a state of being wherein the soul elevates its status to connect with the brahmapada.

In this episode, we hear Kapil ji explaining how the soul can be elevated back to its status and be close to the param atma. He particularly states the that the process will happen at a very slow pace but we must stick to it. 

Kapil ji explains the various bases of our vritis (attitudes) and also the driving forces for the creation of virat purush and how the virat purush was woken up by the forces of nature coming together. 

When asked by mother Devhuti, Kapilji explains the basics of Sankhya yoga and also explains who is a Sadhu and what are their traits. 

In this episode, we hear about the birth of Kapil ji, who is a svarupa of Sri Hari. He is destined to create the Sankhya yoga. 

We hear about the life of Kadarma and Devhuti in this episode. On the request of Devhuti, Kadarma creates a plane with all facilities. They enjoy the life and Devhuti gives birth to nine girls. As the Rishi Kadarma decides to leave Grihasthashram and start his life as a sanyasi, Devhuti asks for a favour. 

We hear about the marriage of Prajapati Kadarma and Princess Devhuti. We also hear about the types of marriages. 

Prajapati Kadarmaji is directed by Lord Brahma to observe the Gruhasthashram. So, Kadarmaji does tapasya and Shri Hari tells him of his future. The lord tells Kadarm rishi that Svaymabhuv Manu, his wife Shatarupa and their daughter Devhuti will visit him in 2 days time and he will be marrying her and leads a life of grihastha for a while. 

In this episode, we hear how Lord Bramha created asuras, dev, and manu based on his different mood and attitudes. We also hear how each of these can be observed within us based on our attitudes. 

We hear the great battle between the rakshash Hiranyaksh and how the Lord killed Hiranyaksha using his sudarshan chakra. 

We talk about the war between the Varah avatar and Hiranyaksha. Both use guile and strength to fight.

The twins born of Diti grow and the world starts feeling the negative energy. Hiranyakashyapu and Hiranyakash start terrorising the world and so Varundev (the lord of the wind) tells Hiranyaksh to challenge Lord Vishnu.

The sages ask the Lord Vishnu about what he wishes to do with Jay and Vijay and the Lord tells them that they will have to repent for their deeds. The leadership lessons are quite important here.

Several sages who are the first sons of Brahamaji wish to visit the Lord Vishnu in his abode and two sentries (Jay and Vijay) stop them. The sages get angry and curse the two. The lord agrees with the sages but requests them to release them from the curse early. Some fascinating leadership lessons.

Diti, one of the daughters of Daksha, is married to Rishi Kashyap, who happens to be the son of Rishi Marichi, gets affected by the Kamdev and asks for babies at wrong hour of the day. Rishi Kashyap tries to reason but gives in and later on both repent. However, looking at future Kashyap explains the future of the sons that will be born. 

As Brahmaji created Swayambhuv Manu and Maharani Shatrupa, they asked their father (Brahmaji) about what should they do and where should they reside as the Earth was under water. As Brahmaji was thinking about it, Varah swaraupa of the Lord appeared and it brought the mother Earth out of the abyss. We hear a wonderful stuti of Varahavatar by sages. 

In this episode, we hear about the different ways in which Brahmaji attempted to create the human world. After several attempts, he could not get the world populated and so he parted himself into two and created the male (Manu) and the female (Shatarupa), whom we could identify with Adam and Eve of Hindu Philosophy. 

In this episode, we understand the concept of time and its measurement in Hindu philosophy. We identify the micro concepts of atoms to multi-verse. 

Brahmaji, now motivated to create the world of the living, uses all the tools available, and in this episode, we hear the 10 types of these worlds.

As Brahmaji finds the supreme being, he starts offering a stuti to the Lord. In turn, the Lord gives the directive to Brahmaji to create the world of the living.

In this episode, we come to know how Brahmaji came into being and his search for the supreme being.

In this episode, Vidurji becomes even more curious about the evolution and in particular the human kind and their development and ask a number of question that become the basis for Skandh 3.
