You related a lovely tale, Mother. My heart is filled with joy.
If the story of one avatar was so heartwarming
then, it will be so interesting to find out about the other avatars.
Tell me about all the avatars. Mother.
[joyful music playing]
In the near future
demon king Bali will want to claim rule over all three worlds.
Then, Lord will take the Vaman avatar.
After that, when the kings and emperors of earth
will accept the path of immorality
then, to end the immorality of those evil-doers
Lord will take birth in the avatar of Maharishi Parshuram.
Then, in his seventh avatar
in the form of Lord Ram, he won’t just end the demons
in fact, he will present to the society
an example on how to live a life following moral values
and will be known as Maryada Purushottam.
But, in the Dvapad era
Lord will be born as Lord Krishna
proficient in all sixteen arts.
Then, the Kalyug era begins.
Lord will take avatar in the form of Buddha
and teach the world
the lesson of living a life devoid of violence and hatred.
And, the tenth avatar?
Mother, who will that be?
Lord’s tenth
and final avatar will be in the form of Lord Kalki.
[conch blowing]
He lives with his devotees in every moment.
To protect them
he brings pain to himself.
Truly, Mother!
Lord is great!
[devotional music playing]
Lord, Garud has such a pure heart.
Yes, Mushak.
You are right.
Garud’s heart is very pure and soft.
Lord, is Garud still not
capable enough of becoming Lord Vishnu’s vehicle?
Mushak, first, Garud
played a very important role in the Sagar Manthan
and reunited Lord Vishnu and Goddess Lakshmi.
[vocalising]
Later, he got his Mother, Goddess Vinta
released from his aunt, Goddess Kadru’s slavery
and became the most devoted son on earth!
Vinta
and his son, Garud
will be released from
my slavery.
[mellow music playing]
And then, he fasted on the nine days of Navratra
and obtained blessings from Goddess Adishakti too.
After this display of strength
you will be able to obtain the power
to carry the weight of your Lord Vishnu.
Yes, Lord!
Furthermore, he is now able to
feel his Lord Vishnu’s presence within himself.
You’re right, Mushak.
Hence, he is now
fully capable of becoming Lord Vishnu’s vehicle.
But, for every saga to take place
it is important for its right time to arrive.
Poor Garud.
Wonder when that opportunity will arise
when his
wish to become his Lord’s vehicle will be fulfilled.
King Indra, the joy that the nine days spent on earth bring
is impossible to describe.
Truly said, Lord.
Earth is the one place, where, if the humans wish
then, they can achieve everything with their efforts.
And, even in the toughest of conditions
if they do not forget their Lord
and keep chanting his name
it can become the easiest
but most effective path for their welfare.
Without a doubt, Mother!
‘After whatever I have learned about Lord from Mother’
‘it has become clear’
‘that, before any incident occurs’
‘the necessary situation for it definitely arises first.’
‘Some other incident becomes a reason.’
‘Then, where and how’
‘will the necessary situation arise, for me to become’
‘my Lord’s vehicle? And, when?’
[elephant trumpeting]
‘In the water? Father, I feel afraid of the water.’
‘Yes! Me, too.’
‘On this earth, created by God’
‘there is no reason to feel fear, sons. Look at me.’
[growling]
[water splashing]
[elephant trumpeting]
[growling]
[elephant trumpeting]
‘Lord! Lord, save yourself!’
[thump]
- 'Lord!' - 'Father!'
[elephants trumpeting]
[water splashing]
- 'Lord!' - 'Father!'
[elephants trumpeting]
[thump]
[crashing]
'What will happen now, Mother?'
[elephant trumpeting]
[crashing]
[thump] [elephant trumpeting]
‘Where is that rogue?’
‘Looks like he ran away out of fear.’
[elephant trumpeting]
[screams]
[screaming]
- ‘Lord!’ - ‘Father!’
[elephant trumpeting]
'Mother, will Father be alright?'
‘Why are you silent? Tell me, Mother!’
[elephant trumpeting]
Narayana, Narayana!
[tense music playing]
[elephant screaming]
‘Father!’
Why isn’t this elephant calling out to the Lord for help?
[elephant trumpeting]
Doesn’t he know
that the Lord doesn’t show mercy till
his devotee won't show faith towards him.
‘He’s brought me very deep into the water.'
'I’ll quickly have to do something.’
[conch blowing]
‘How much longer will I have to wait?’
[vocalising]
Even after whatever the queen did with us
how can your heart be so filled with joy?
The heart is innocent, Garud.
It is never satisfied with its present conditions.
‘Whatever my Lord wishes, is now my wish as well.’
[elephant trumpeting]
- ‘Lord!’ - ‘Father!’
[elephant trumpeting]
‘It is getting tough to maintain balance in the water now.’
‘If this continues much longer, my death is definite!’
[elephant trumpeting]
‘In such deep water, I am losing my energy.’
‘Before’
‘this rogue crocodile succeeds in his attempts’
‘I should beg Lord Vishnu for mercy.’
[tense music playing]
‘Oh Lord! You are the creator of this universe!’
‘You are its nurturer.’
‘My family needs me, Lord.’
- ‘Lord!’ - ‘Father!’
‘You are supremely powerful!’
‘Answer my pleas!’
‘Help me, Lord! Save me!’
‘Answer my prayers, Lord!’
‘Save me, Lord!’
‘Help me!’
‘Protector of the law!’
‘To end the pain of your devotees’
‘you always take avatars, Narayana!’
‘Help me!’
‘I am at your mercy, Lord!’
‘You will have to protect me!’
[divine music playing]
‘Save me, Lord! Help me!’
‘Help him, Lord! Protect him!’
‘Save him, Lord! Show mercy!’
‘Lord, it appears that the opportunity has arisen’
‘when Garud will become’
‘his Lord Vishnu’s vehicle’
‘and, will be able to fulfil his own and his Mother’s wish!’
‘And, he will form a bond with the entire world.’
Becoming Lord Vishnu’s vehicle is not just a wish of his
in fact, it is the goal of his life.
But, whatever is destined to happen
always takes place when the right time arises, Mushak.
And, you know that
Lord Vishnu’s ways are never simple.
Lord! Your words are making me feel that
Garud is going to
face some obstacles again.
‘Lord is coming towards me. Maybe the moment that I was waiting for’
‘has finally arrived!’
Lord!
[tense music playing]
[vocalising]
‘Before my life comes to an end’
‘protect me, Lord!’
Lord, why are you troubling yourself?
Give your servant the opportunity to serve you!
Make me your vehicle now, Lord!
[dramatic music playing]
[vocalising]
[wings flapping]
[vocalising]
‘Son Garud, you have finally fulfilled the goal of your life!’
[wings flapping]
'May you attain greatness, son!'
[wings flapping]
[joyous music playing]
‘Time is passing, Lord!’
‘My breath is becoming shallow.’
‘Save your devotee’s life, Lord!’
‘Save me!’
[water splashing]
[dramatic music playing]
[sanskrit hymns]
[elephant trumpeting]
[thump]
[elephant trumpeting]
Narayana, Narayana!
Thank you, Lord!
[joyful music playing]
[elephants trumpeting]
Lord! In the end
Garud finally fulfilled the goal of his life!
He became the vehicle of Lord Vishnu!
You’re right, Mushak.
Along with fulfilling the goal of his life
Garud has become venerable in the entire universe.
For all eternity, whenever Lord Vishnu will be worshipped
Garud will also surely be mentioned.
Furthermore, in all of Lord Vishnu’s future avatars
Garud will help him in ending evil.
And, he will always protect the law from immorality
and, forever and ever, he will be known as
Dharma Yoddha Garud!
[wings flapping]
[joyous music playing]
[dramatic music playing]
Garud.
You displayed patience even after attaining your powers.
And, you dedicated yourself completely to me.
I am very pleased by this.
I have your blessings, Lord.
I am grateful
to Goddess Lakshmi, brother Sheshnaag
and to all the gods and gurus.
And, most of all
to my Mother Vinta.
Without her guidance and blessings
it would be impossible for me to live this journey.
Immense gratitude to all of you!
[conch blowing]
[divine music playing]
Mother! Lord!
Come! Take your seats!
[joyful music playing]
[devotional music playing]
[bells chiming]
[singing sanskrit song]
[divine music playing]
Garud.
Today, you haven’t just become my vehicle.
The way, the sweet sound of this bell
makes one experience joy
similarly, you have also entered my heart!
So, henceforth, in all my temples
you will reside as the bell.
[joyous music playing]
Your blessings are limitless, Lord!
Like you, when any devotee
will completely dedicate themselves to me
my blessings will always be with them.
[divine music playing]
Lord of devotees! Protector of the law!
Praise be with Almighty Lord Vishnu!
Praise be with Lord Vishnu!
