How Epic Narrations are the Prevailing Influence in Humanity

In this track, Swamiji speaks about our epic narrations–Ramayana and Mahabharata. He says that throughout these epic narrations there is a constant effort to inculcate in the minds of the readers and the listeners a fourfold human objective–Dharma, Artha, Kama and Moksha.

Personal stories are the prevailing influence in humanity every time. They offer inspiration, ideal, compulsion, persuasion, commitment, dedication, sacrifice and what not. The epics depict stories and show how to deal with any situation.

Shlokas chanted in the Track:

स्त्रीशूद्रद्विजबन्धूनां त्रयी न श्रुतिगोचरा ।
इति भारतमाख्यानं कृपया मुनिना कृतम् ।।
Srimad Bhagavatam 1.4.25
