Story Time: Story of Shukadeva - Son of Veda Vyasa

In this LIVE story session, Swami Purnachaitanya in his beautiful style narrates the beautiful story of how the great Rishi Shukadeva, son of Veda Vyasa, found his Guru and became Self-Realized. It is a fascinating story that shows how ego and pride in being knowledgeable can become an obstacle on the path to self-realization, and why a Guru is essential for the sincere seeker. It also teaches us about the true meaning of samnyasa or being free from attachments.
Swami Purnachaitanya is a disciple of Gurudev Sri Sri Ravi Shankar and is originally from The Netherlands. He is an expert on Yoga, Meditation, Mantras, Ayurveda and Vedic Wisdom. He is a Senior Faculty and Director of Programs of The Art of Living.

[@allan-jgd]

Swamiji, what a blessing this story times have been! Jai Gurudev!

[@pierinamarino9183]

This is a great reminder, to reflect how easily and unconsciously we tend to judge other people by their actions and appearance without taking time to get to know their heart. And also to again remember to be flexible, for righteousness can take us far but then, letting go of so much righteousness will take us further. To let go of my own concepts and opinions and be really ready and committed to learn from my Guru and the teachers that present there in my path. Thanks so much for sharing Dear Swamiji!!

[@indirasingh4775]

जय गुरुदेव

[@neelamrai3956]

I am not the son of ved vyasa but I have experienced the same thing as sukadeva while being near my guru. The ego was taken care in the similar fashion. And after listening to the story of satyakama jabala I feel blessed that this is the realization that gurudev wants me to have. I feel fortunate to have a path and gurudev (god) himself.

[@anishraole4899]

Great Story!

🙏😇🙏

[@vamshidharrao3714]

WOW! Another wonderful story... I was feeling Deja Vu while watching this video. Quick question about the timeline of the story; So, King Janaka is the same king Janaka from Ashtavakra Gita, right? Did Janka become fully enlightened master after Ashtavakra Gita? If yes, then what was the timeline correspondence with Veda Vyasa? Did Veda Vyasa compile the Vedas close Ashtavakra's Gita time? (Did Veda Vyasa live for thousands of years?)

[@hendsfoundation8219]

Jai Gurudev Swami ji... First of all thank you so much for this story series........ Can one be enlightened in one lifetime even if he has not done any spiritual growth in previous births????

[@purnesh.official]

He would not even have the desire or come near the right people then... or have an interest.. :-)

[@prakxyz]

This story is completely different from what i have heared. I heared from different puranas that Sukhdeva was already realized

[@anuukafle4376]

What were those 14 good karmas and what 12 good karma that he lost ? Can you please explain little bit more about it. Thank you

[@purnesh.official]

They did not mention any specific karmas.. it just means he lost 12 out of 14 units of his punya (good karmas/merit)

[@sudhadharwadkar7415]

Jai Gurudev Swamiji I don't feel as usual What's wrong has gone I can't understand please help me

[@pierinamarino9183]

Dear Swamiji, is this King Janaka the same one from the Ashtavakra Gitta?!

[@rahuldwivedi8244]

Janak literally means Father. And every king of lineage of who ruled the kingdom of Mithila were devoted to the service of their citizens like a father, that's why citizens used to call them "Janak". In simple way, every king who ruled Mithila were called as "Janak" because they devotee their life as a service to their citizens like any father.

[@pierinamarino9183]

@@rahuldwivedi8244 Oh Niceee!! Ajoooo Niranyana!! Thanks!!

[@sanataniavinash8557]

Swamiji can we have story of Maharishi Agastya 🙏😊

[@purnesh.official]

Yes will do that also in the near future :-)

[@samidu492]

But sukdeva wanted moksa due to his birth history...and that is the reason raja pariksit wanted to kisten bhagwad from him only..he knew bhagwad when he was in womb..as parrot..suka
