The Experienced Hunter :

Yudhishtara had won the war....It was over....As Yudhishtara was walking up to his palace he remembered the words of the Dhirdharashtra the blind king. Don't fight the war son! Don't fight for the kingdom. Go back to the forests 🧵👉 Image
Even if you win the kingdom, all that will be left for you is your remorse and guilt.
Now that the war was over , Yudhishtara acknowledged to himself the truth of the blind king's words. He had won the war, and now all he had with him was remorse..
remorse...remorse that he had killed all his relatives. Remorse that he had killed his own elder brother Karna....he now had a kingdom with no one to share it with.

Why Shiva is worshiped as a Linga?

at the time of creation, the Brahman [Force which runs through all of us and the Great energy which created everything in the universe] manifested itself into the form of Shiva, Vishnu and Brahma 👉🧵Image
Brahma was the Creator and Vishnu was the Preserver. They worked together and everything was fine with the universe. However once Vishnu and Brahma had a fight with each other.

Vishnu said, ‘Brahma, I am the Preserver. I am more powerful than you…’
Brahma snorted, ‘If I had not created anything, where does your role come into this…’
‘More People worship me …’ Vishnu angrily. The other Gods went to Shiva. Shiva told the Gods that he would take care of this and asked the Gods to be in peace.

Once, there came a time when sages who had renounced all worldly attachments and were living in forests became arrogant about their spiritual power. They began to consider ordinary humans as insignificant beings and believed that the entire world existed only because of them. Blinded by pride, they even decided to stop worshipping the Divine.Image
Witnessing this from Mount Kailash, Lord Shiva realized that their ego needed to be destroyed, and so He devised a plan.

Lord Shiva took the form of a humble beggar and went wandering into the forest. As He passed through the hermitage where the sages lived, He saw many of them performing rituals and penances alongside their wives. Shiva, disguised as a beggar, arrived there with Goddess Parvati. The divine radiance of the beggar immediately drew the attention of the women, who left their rituals and came forward to bow to Him.
Seeing this, the sages were enraged. Using their spiritual powers, they created venomous serpents and commanded them to attack the mysterious beggar. But Lord Shiva remained unaffected. Then the sages invoked a powerful being named Apasmara — a dwarf demon who embodied ignorance and pride. Apasmara had received a boon of immortality and possessed the ability to rob others of their consciousness. Over time, he became arrogant, believing that no one could ever defeat him.

When Lord Vishnu took the Varaha (Boar) incarnation, His height was about 75,000 kilometers and His width around 40,000 kilometers. Such an immense size was necessary considering the size of the Earth itself, which is also approximately 40,000 kilometers in circumference. Image
According to ancient Hindu scriptures, during this avatar, Lord Vishnu lifted the Earth from a cosmic ocean known as the Garbodaka Sāgara (Cosmic Ocean), described as being one crore yojanas wide — that’s nearly 15 million kilometers. This ocean was so vast that a thousand Earths could fit within it. Such was the magnitude of this divine ocean — something beyond human imagination.
It is in this very ocean that Mahāviṣṇu reclines, infinitely far beyond our physical universe. The specific region of this ocean where He rests is called the Kṣīra Sāgara (Ocean of Milk). Therefore, Lord Vishnu in this form is called Garbodakaśāyī Vishnu — the Lord who lies upon the Garbodaka Ocean.

The Dance of Urvashi and the Three Rishis

This is a very ancient story. There were three great sages their fame spread across all realms and worlds. Image
Seeing their growing renown, Indra, the king of the gods, became disturbed. Out of jealousy, he called upon Urvashi the most beautiful and accomplished celestial dancer and said,
“On my birthday, these three sages will be my guests. I want you to distract them. Shake their minds. Let their focus and austerity be broken.
The three sages accepted Indra’s invitation and arrived in his heavenly city, Alakā. All the gods and celestial beings gathered to witness the grand celebration.

That night, Urvashi was adorned so exquisitely that even Indra himself was astonished. Her beauty was beyond measure. Then the dance began. Urvashi danced till midnight, enchanting everyone present.

Once upon a time Narada Ji went to meet Lord Vishnu.

Lord Vishnu welcomed him with great honor and devotion. When Narada Ji left, Vishnu Ji said to Goddess Lakshmi, “Clean the place where Narada was sitting with cow dung.”

Narada Ji was still standing outside and heard everything. He immediately returned and asked Lord VishnuImage
O Lord, when I arrived, you respected me so much…
Then why did you ask Lakshmi Ji to purify the place where I sat?”

Lord Vishnu replied gently:
“You are Dev Rishi, that is why I honored you.
Yet you have no Guru. You are Nigura.
Wherever a person without a Guru sits, that place becomes impure.”

Hearing this, Narada Ji said:
“O Lord, what you say is true, but whom should I accept as my Guru?
Vishnu Ji smiled and said:
“O Narada, go to Earth. The very first person you meet, accept him as your Guru.”

Narada Ji bowed and went to Earth. The first person he came across was a fisherman catching fish.

Narada Ji rushed back to Vishnu Ji and said:
“O Lord! That fisherman knows nothing! How can I make him my Guru?
