Keep the Mahabharata and Garuda Purana at home

Book 4 · The Bhagavad Gita Also: Religions, history, society and science

Some people say that texts like Mahabharat and Garud Puran should not be kept at home. What is your view on this ? In my opinion all the 18 Puranas of the Hindus, including Mahabharata and Garuda Puran. They must be definitely kept in the house from People who propagated themselves a little, so that they could create a sect around it. We are very naive people. We are born with a lot of faith. So many people they have been exploiting the innocence of Hindus, in regards to their faith. Those who do not want you to gain your knowledge. Because your knowledge will increase then your exploitation will not be easy. So that you remain ignorant, these people advised not to keep Mahabharat and Garuda Purana etc. in the house. I would advise that Mahabharat must be kept at home.

The Gita, which is considered one of the most important books of the Hindus,is a part of the Mahabharata. It is a text from Mahabharata. So when something like Gita. is just one fraction of the Mahabharata, and is such a great thing. So you can imagine that If you get to study the Mahabharata, how many other things of knowledge, So definitely keep Mahabharat at home. There are many situations of life described in it. There are conversation in Mahabharat which teach us - What should be our duty in such a situation? The second is Garuda Purana. Only the Pret Khand of the Garuda Purana is more popular. Garuda Purana is a very big Purana. If you read it, you will find there is great knowledge of Ayurveda and knowledge of body features science in it. So my advice is that to know about life after death, read Garuda Purana and to know how to keep life good while living. Ayurvedic knowledge, knowledge of bodily features is also to be studied in Garuda Purana.

There should not be any lack of information in life. The more information you have, the more you can make your life better and pleasant by using it properly. So these books should definitely be kept at home. If these books are in the house, then sooner or later they will be read also. if they will be read, there will be contemplation too. If there is contemplation, its essence will also definitely be understood by you. So you must read Foreign Films and Indian Puranas Many people came here and told that they saw this Hollywood movie. about time traveller or about the psychic powers.That everything is a dream. They told the names of many films like Matrix, Inception and Interstellar etc

A Yoga Vasishtha story of nested dreams

Book 4 · Puranic stories retold and decoded Also: Gods, creation and other worlds, Mind, brain and consciousness

I told them that if you read Yoga Vasishtha, then in Yogavasishtha you will get to read a bigger things. I tell you a story from Yoga Vasishtha There was a king named ShikhiDhwaj His queen's name was probably Chudala. I do not remember correctly now She did a very hard penance for Saraswati ji to get her Darshan. When Saraswati ji appeared, she said - Ask for Boon. The queen asked for two boons. One is that whenever I invoke you, please come and give me Darshan and give me two boons. This was the first boon asked by her. Second boon she asked that if my husband dies before me, then his soul should not leave this place. .

She said Tathastu and she disappeared. After some time a king attacked Shikhidhwaj. Raja was badly injured in the battle And he died after coming back to the palace. Since Saraswati ji had given the boon So his soul remained in that palace. Because the Palace was under the protection of Saraswati ji, So even the invading king could not enter inside. After some time the queen desired to know what my husband was doing at this time, What is his soul doing right now? So she invoked Saraswati ji. When Saraswati ji appeared, Chudala asked - Mother, what is my husband doing? I want to see. Saraswati ji said, come with me. As it is described in it, they crossed many universes.

Or if we say in today's language, they crossed many dimensions and she reached one place. There was exactly the same palace, there was similar kingdom. The king Shikhidhwaj was sitting on the throne. Next to him was a replica of the queen Chudala sitting and the kingdom was going on as it used to earlier. So Queen Chudala was very surprised. She asked the goddess that what is the truth in this? Those who are sitting in front of me , Is that the truth ? Or is the dead body lying there and I am present here? what is the truth ? Goddess said - Come, I will shown you the truth. Then after returning from there after crossing many universes they reached the hut of a very poor Brahmin.

That Brahmin woman had also obtained the same boon from Goddess Saraswati after doing great penance. That if my husband dies, his soul should not go out of this place. So the Brahmin's soul was also in the same hut and that Brahmin's soul. Once there was a procession of a king going near that hut. Seeing the procession, the soul wished that I too were a king someday, So the soul of the dead Brahmin was imagining that I have become the king and his wife was the queen. That queen is you. And your king who is dead in the dream. It's his soul which is imagining what we saw when before coming here. When Goddess Saraswati told the queen, all this. It's a dream. dream within a dream, dream within a dream within a dream.

So the queen got very confused. She said - Mother, then what is the truth? If everything is a dream then what is the truth? Devi said - "In the midst of these dreams You got my Darshan and that Brahmin woman got my Darshan This is the only truth. Everything else is a dream." So this dream within a dream within a dream. This is the whole universe, which we are not able to understand. Yoga Vasishtha is a very serious book. I think if anyone reads that, the science fiction that we see today, in Hollywood or anywhere else, they are left far behind these real truths. Definitely read Yoga Vasishtha
