Episode description

In this episode Bhakti Lalita tells the wisdom story of "Yaksha Prashna", or the legend of the virtuous crane, from the Mahabharata. It's the story of a question-and-answer dialogue between ⁠Yudhishthira⁠ Maharaj and a ⁠yaksha (a celestial entity or nature spirit) who was actually Lord Dharma or Yamaraja, the father of ⁠⁠Yudhishthira⁠⁠, in disguise. The story is set as the five Pandava brothers together with their wife Draupadi end their twelve years of exile in the forest, and were about to enter into their thirteenth and final year incognito. In this episode you will hear four of the questions answered by Yudhishthira⁠ Maharaj which are particularly famous, "What is the news? What is the wonder? What is the path? And who is happy?". Watch and listen to find out the answers and to hear this amazing story told by Bhakti Lalita!
