You have qualities like Aunt Vinta.
Nothing can be a matter of pride for me than this.
When mother blessed me that
I should spend my life by Lord Vishnu's feet
I did not understand its significance.
But today
after getting a glimpse of Lord Vishnu
I realised
that the blessing given to me by mother..
Her desire for my happiness
was hidden in it.
Brother.
You made me get a glimpse of Lord Vishnu
but where is Goddess Lakshmi?
Goddess Lakshmi and Lord Vishnu have separated.
That is the reason Lord Vishnu is saddened
and has entered a deep meditative state.
What! But how, Brother?
But why did you not stop Goddess Lakshmi? You stay here.
Brother, why do you stay here?
Why don't you stay with your brothers and aunt?
Why is it forbidden to mention your name there?
Calm down, Garud.
If you ask so many questions
how will you be able to hear the answers?
Forgive me.
Even mother says that I ask a lot of questions.
But what do I do, Brother?
No matter how much I question mother, she doesn't tell me.
So I keep questioning everyone
Until I don't get the answer to my question, Brother
how will I fulfil my aim?
What aim?
My life has a major objective.
To free my mother from your mother's slavery.
so I must know how mother became aunt's slave.
Brother.
You are the eldest.
I have expectations only from you, Brother.
Will you also not tell me the truth?
Complex questions don't have simple answers, Garud.
The truth that you're trying to learn..
To understand it,
you must know many more things.
You must know their past
and experience their scenarios
only then will you be able to understand
why they chose that path upon treading which
they have reached this scenario.
This story is very long, Garud.
Even if I have to spend
my entire life in solving this riddle
I'm willing to pay the price
Okay, Garud.
I will begin from the beginning.
The universe was not like how it is now.
There was emptiness.
The sound of Om was echoing in all directions.
Om..
The sound kept increasing
and became so intense that
Ksheer Sagar tore apart 'Shunya' and came to the fore.
Lord Vishnu appeared
in the middle of Ksheer Sagar.
Then from Lord Vishnu's navel,
Lord Brahma appeared on a lotus.
'Vedam'
Narayan, who am I?
What is my life's purpose?
You are Brahma.
Your life's purpose
is creation of this universe.
As you say.
Brahma gave birth to 10 Manasputras
for the development of the universe.
They were called Prajapathi.
Lord Brahma commanded them to beget their heirs
so that the universe can develop further.
Marichi was the foremost.
And also Daksh Prajapathi.
Prajapathi Daksh got his 17 daughters married
to Prajapathi Marichi's son, Prajapathi Kashyap.
Among them, Aditi gave birth to devas
and Diti gave birth to danavas
But, Brother..
A father having such different sons..
How is it possible?
Prajapathi Daksh formed rules
for the creation and balance of universe
He ensured every creature
had different nature, behaviour
and form.'
By the union of these two, different communities emerged.
The father was same
but the mothers' qualities, emotions
and behaviour was different.
Because of which their children had different nature
behaviour and form.
The children of Aditi and Diti
were extremely different n behaviour
The devtas had Sattva and Rajas qualities
Whereas in the danavas, asuras, though Rajas quality was there
there was a dominance of Tamas quality.
That quality doesn't let a person stay quiet.
His mind constantly wonders as to
how he can take away something from someone
hurt others
and destroy everything.
Due to their destructive nature, they kept battling with devtas.
With time
it turned into a huge battle between devas and asuras.
Asuras knew only how to blatantly display their powers.
The devtas were united
under leadership of Lord Indra
and used divine weapons wisely in an expert way.
Asuras kept losing each time.
Due to this, their mother, Diti felt humiliated.
On the other hand, the mother of devtas, Aditi..
People started respecting her more.
Because her sons were strong and good-natured.
Hail Lady Aditi.. - Hail..
Sorry for interrupting you.
But what does the enmity between the devas and asuras
and their battle have to do
with my mother's slavery?
They are related, Garud.
They are indeed related.
The creation of our universe is amazing, Garud!
Even if a butterfly
flaps its wings in some part of the universe
as a result of that, a tornado can occur
thousands of miles away in another part of the universe!
There could be unimaginable destruction!
Because of their sons' nature
whatever was happening between Diti and Aditi
was being witnessed by the other wives
of 'Prajapati' Kashyap, Vinta and Kadru.
Whatever they witnessed
experienced and understood
decided the destiny of those two.
How?
'If you win today, I will admit that you are great.'
'The race is not over yet, Sister.'
'How do you manage to win every time, Vinta?'
'The joy is in the race, Sister.'
'Then whether I win or you do'
'it is one and the same thing.'
'You are right.'
'The true significance is that of actions'
'not of results.'
'This.. This talk of yours is what enchants me.'
'Enough, Sister.'
'Praise gives rise to pride.'
'And I wish to never act contrary to my name.'
'I wish to always remain humble.'
'Well, we were speaking about actions but we forgot'
'to perform the action for which we are here.'
'I will arrange the veneration materials.'
'And I will grind the sandalwood and make the paste.'
'No, certainly not!'
'The job of grinding the sandalwood is laborious.'
'I will do that.'
'This delicate hand of yours'
'will only do the job of offering flowers to the Lord.'
'I will never let these beautiful hands get hurt.'
'But, Sister.. - No.'
'Will you not obey my order?'
'All right.'
If you have to understand their mutual relationship
imagine that spring in which instead of water, there used to
flow unlimited and unfathomable love for each other
which is difficult to be described in words.
Such was their love. Amazing and matchless!
'Do you know'
'what I have prayed to my Lord?'
'That whenever I have sons'
'they should be more powerful than those of Aditi.'
'The more the powerful my sons are'
'the more the respect I will get.'
'But I feel that Sister Aditi does not get respected'
'because of her sons being powerful.'
'She gets respected because her sons are cultured.'
'Even I have prayed to Lord Vishnu'
'to bless me with such children.'
'Virtuous and good natured.'
Mother has so much expectations from me.
And I..
I am not able to fulfil them.
I am not able to free her from slavery.
She does not let even the flowers get hurt.
And she has to suffer so much!
Why?
Sometimes, we have to pay a huge price
for the mistake that we make unintentionally, Garud.
That is what happened to even your mother.
'Hush..'
'It has such beautiful wings!'
'Sister, its power to see, hear, and smell is very high.'
'You will not be able to catch it.'
'You are speaking as if you can catch it!'
'Had I wished to, I would have certainly caught it.'
'But, Sister, I do not like to capture anyone.'
'Everyone should have the right to be free'
'and roam around freely, right?'
'Do not defer it by making excuses.'
'The truth is that you can never catch this butterfly.'
'Then let us have a challenge.'
'What if I catch it?'
'I will prepare the dish that you ask for.'
'Really!'
'Then shall we have the challenge?'
'Will you keep standing in one place and watching it'
'or will you even try to catch it? - Hush..'
'Do you see that white flower?'
'I am waiting for it to sit on that.'
'How do you know that it will sit on that?'
'What if it does not..'
'I caught it!'
'Tell me, Sister.'
'Do you accept your defeat?'
'Yes, I admit it!'
'You won and I lost.'
'Did its wings break?'
'Forgive me, butterfly. I did not realise your pain.'
'I made a big mistake unintentionally.'
'I hurt a living being for just a small challenge.'
'Oh, Lord, I promise'
'that hereafter, I will never commit such a sin.'
'You are worrying unnecessarily.'
'The butterfly is fine. Nothing has happened..'
'Something has happened, right, Sister?
'It has got hurt.'
'You think too much!'
'Instead, you think what dish I should prepare for you.'
'I have lost the challenge.'
'I have to undergo the punishment.'
'The joy is in challenging, Sister.'
'Then whether I win or you do, it is one and the same thing.'
'And challenge between sisters is only a game.'
'There is no need to fulfil it.'
Seeing their love for each other
I cannot even imagine that aunt..
Aunt has made my mother her slave!
How did this situation arise, Brother?
There were many reasons for how this situation
became their destiny.
But the most important reason was
a mistake made by your mother unintentionally.
For a small challenge, she..
She had captured the innocent butterfly.
It is said
that if someone harms an innocent being
he has to suffer the consequences
of his actions in this birth!
But
both were unaware about how she will get the punishment
of this mistake that was made unintentionally
and in what form.
