Narada cursed Vishnu
0:15 - 0:58 (43 min)
Recorded on
A narration of the mythological story of Nārada's curse upon Lord Viṣṇu, followed by a discourse on its spiritual meaning. "You made me a monkey, and I tell you, when you will be in great trouble, only the monkey will help you, nobody else." "The merciful Lord said, 'Nārada, that was all My icchā. It was My will.'" The speaker recounts how the sage Nārada, enraged after being tricked by Viṣṇu's illusion (māyā), confronts the Lord to curse Him. In his anger, Nārada pronounces a curse that Viṣṇu will incarnate as Rāma, suffer separation from His wife, and be aided by monkeys. Viṣṇu accepts the curse, explaining it was His own divine will, and later dissolves the illusion. A remorseful Nārada seeks forgiveness, and Viṣṇu promises to give him a liberating Kriyā. The talk includes a tangential account of the churning of the ocean (Samudra Manthan) to illustrate Nārada's accusations. Filming location: Vép, Hungary
