In this episode, we travel on a journey with Sage Narada in his quest to find the answer to two burning questions: “Who is the purest celibate in all three worlds?” and “Why is Sage Durvasa - known to eat vast quantities - also known as the one who fasts eternally?” Sage Narada is puzzled by the answers he finds, but as he dives deeper - with the help of Lord Brahma, Sage Durvasa, and the ever-compassionate Lord Krishna - he comes to understand the meaning of Detachment. As She narrates this episode, Madhuri Amma dispels many misconceptions we tend to have about detachment, and shows us how this powerful practice can lead us forward in our spiritual journey. Madhuri Amma concludes with a story from the writings of our Guru, Her Holiness Pujyashri Mathioli Saraswathy, which perfectly illustrates what detachment is. How can we apply this concept to our lives, and face all of life’s ups and downs with equanimity? Listen to find out! We hope you enjoy this episode!

Our namaskarams to our Guru, Ambal, on this auspicious occasion of Guru Purnima!This episode focuses on a figure who plays an essential role in our spiritual journeys - the Guru. Madhuri Amma begins by explaining what the word ‘Guru’ means in Sanskrit, and the significance of a Guru to our lives. What is a Guru able to do for us, and why are Gurus held in such high esteem in Sanatana Dharma? Madhuri Amma also draws from the lives of great saints and avatarams - like Adi Shankara, Lord Shiva’s avataram, Lord Rama, and Her Holiness Pujyashri Mathioli Saraswathy, an avataram of Goddess Akhilandeshwari - to describe the importance of having a Guru. We learn what powerful lessons these avatarams taught us, by having teachers and Gurus themselves (though They were all-knowing!) The episode ends with Madhuri Amma reciting and translating a beautiful snippet from Adi Shankara's Guru Ashtakam. We hope you enjoy the episode!

Our Puranas are filled with many knowledgeable and powerful saints and sages. But there is one sage who holds an especially hallowed place in the scriptures: Sage Agastya! In this captivating episode, Madhuri Amma describes the life-story of this great Sage, and explains why he is so revered in Hinduism. We get to learn about many awe-inspiring feats Sage Agastya accomplished at the request of the Gods, and why he was uniquely qualified to perform these feats. These feats include: - How he drank the Ocean - How he moved the Mountain Vindhya - How he helped to balance the Earth when Lord Shiva and His Beloved, Goddess Parvathi, were getting married - Sage Agastya’s marriage to a princess and rishika named Lopamudra. Find out some incredible accomplishments that this couple are together known for! - How did he come to become the Guru for all Siddhars (Siddha medical practitioners), as well as the Divinely-appointed steward for the Tamil language?

Listen along to learn about a very special celebration called Thriputharaatu that happens at this Temple, in honor of the Goddess menstruating!

When people hear that Lord Shani, or Saturn, has entered their astrological house, they tend to react with fear or worry. In this beautiful episode, Madhuri Amma explains the significance of Shani Peyarchi/Shani Sade-Sati (Saturn Transit), and why we need to respect Lord Shani, not fear Him: He distributes to us only what we have already earned - our karmas. To describe the inescapability of karma, Amma offers several thought-provoking analogies, and narrates a critical turning-point episode from the Mahabharata. By watching this episode, we learn: - The Lord can transform our karmas. But what would happen if He did so? Why is it far better for us to go through the effects of our karmas? - Why do we feel so affected when our loved ones experience adversity? What should we pray for, when we see our loved ones struggling? - Why is the present moment so key in helping us navigate karma? We hope you enjoy this episode!

In this episode, Madhuri Amma begins with one character from the Mahabharata who usually comes across as a ‘villain’ in the epic. But what is the deeper story? We journey through several yugams, as Madhuri Amma weaves together the much larger context behind this character and other so-called ‘evil’ characters from the Puranas. She illustrates why things happen exactly the way they do, and why every single person is put on Earth for a reason chosen by the Lord. Hence, not knowing the full truth, we can never be right in judging anyone with our ignorant minds. Follow along to find out: We hope you enjoy this episode!
