00:00When there is the rule of Dharma, then the good things are available to everyone, they appear.

00:18And when there is the rule of Adharma, then gradually the good things disappear.

00:25There was a time when the Asuras invaded the Deva culture.

00:34And due to negligence, the Deva culture was defeated.

00:39The Asuras ruled.

00:42The difference between the rule of the Asuras and the rule of the Devas is that

00:46the Devas do not live for themselves, they think for others.

00:51And the Asuras think for themselves, they do not think for others.

00:55So when the Asura heritage increased, then the good things gradually disappeared.

01:02So the Amrit, which the Devas drink and remain strong forever,

01:08that too disappeared in the ocean.

01:12Now Amrit has become unavailable.

01:15The Devas were not able to obtain Amrit, so they became weak.

01:21The Asuras began to increase, because they were consuming their heritage.

01:30In this way, the need arose to make the Devas powerful again.

01:39The Devas prayed to God.

01:41God said, okay, we can make Amrit available to you again.

01:46But for this, you will have to rely on ethics.

01:50Now you do not have the strength to take Amrit out of the ocean again.

01:56It has become weak.

01:59So the thing that becomes weak, it is taken out by meditation.

02:02Like there is butter in milk, but it can be taken out only by shaking it.

02:09God said, Amrit has become weak in the ocean.

02:13Now you will have to shake it to take it out.

02:16And shaking a huge object like the ocean is not the work of ordinary strength.

02:21For this, a special strength is required.

02:24And along with that strength, when that Amrit comes out,

02:28you need the strength to quench it.

02:31So God said that it is necessary to shake the ocean.

02:35But for this, you have to apply ethics.

02:38When you are proud of your work, then you can compromise with anyone.

02:44For the purpose of your work, sometimes you have to go back and forth with the principles.

02:49So God became the mediator from the side of the Devas.

02:53And he said that you have become authorized in heaven.

02:56You have made the kingdom in heaven.

02:59You have driven away the Devas.

03:01But do you know that when the Devas live in heaven, they get Amrit.

03:06And you have come to heaven and sat in their place. Where is the Amrit?

03:10So the Devas also thought that yes, it is true, we have got heaven.

03:14We have got the throne of Indra, but we are not getting Amrit.

03:17Where is it? It is hidden in the ocean.

03:20How will it come out? You will have to shake it.

03:23How to do it?

03:24For this, you have to take the support of the Devas.

03:27Here he said to the Devas that you also take the support of the Devas.

03:31So then the Devas and the Asuras united again for the same purpose.

03:37And it happened that we will do Manthan together so that Amrit can be available to us.

03:41So the opposing people also get together in selfishness.

03:46This is the example of this.

03:48So they got together.

03:50God prayed to Mandarachal that you become Mathani.

03:55God prayed to Vasuki Naag that you become the rope of Mathani.

04:02But when Mandarachal was being brought, it was very difficult to bring him.

04:07There is a detailed description in the Puranas.

04:10I am telling you in detail.

04:12Then God took the form of Kachchhap.

04:16And on the base, Mandarachal was erected.

04:21Vasuki Naag became the rope.

04:23And then the Asuras and the Devas started Manthan together.

04:27On one side, the Devas and on the other side, the Asuras got together.

04:29Manthan happened.

04:30Many gems came out.

04:31And in the end, Lord Dhanvantari came out with the pot of Amrit.

04:35This is the story of Samudra Manthan.

04:38Due to which the Devas got their power again.

04:4214 gems are told mainly.

04:46In the Puranas, it is said that all the gems on earth came out of Manthan at the same time.

04:57But among them, 14 gems are told.

05:00Among those 14 gems, Lakshmi Ji is the most important.

05:03Lakshmi Ji also came out of the same Manthan.

05:06In that, Uchchai Shrava horse came out.

05:08In that, Airavat elephant came out.

05:10In that, many other gems came out.

05:1314 gems are told.

05:15Kamdhenu also came out of that.

05:20So, all these came out from there.

05:22And by coming out, Amrit is still being given to us.

05:26It is true that both of them were doing Manthan together on this understanding and on this relationship.

05:35That if Amrit comes out, then we will get it.

05:40But it happens that when something has been wanted for a long time,

05:44and suddenly it is available, then the person does not have the patience.

05:48So, his patience was broken.

05:50Especially, the demons were more eager.

05:55The Devas were doing Amrit Prashan.

05:57It was their necessity.

05:59But it was their wish.

06:01So, they started snatching.

06:04And that snatching started in such a way that Indra's son Jayant took the pot and ran away.

06:13And both were snatching and he was running away with it.

06:18So, out of that, gems were scattered in four places.

06:22It is believed that where Kumbh Parva is celebrated today, Amrit Prashan is given.

06:28So, you know this later.

06:31God took Mohini Avatar and attracted everyone with his voice.

06:37When everyone was attracted, he said, why are you fighting?

06:40You are fighting for Amrit.

06:42He said, it will not happen like this.

06:44If you fight, it will fall in four places.

06:47And if it falls in 14 places, the pot will be empty.

06:50So, you will never be able to get Amrit.

06:53So, these Devas and demons will keep fighting and humans will get Amrit.

06:58So, what do you want?

07:00So, people said, no, no, we don't want this.

07:02We want it for ourselves.

07:04So, he said, if you want it for yourself, then make someone a Madhyastha.

07:08Who will be a better Madhyastha than you?

07:10You have given such a good lesson.

07:12You become a Madhyastha.

07:13We will become.

07:14But we have to do as we say.

07:16So, he made everyone sit in a line.

07:19He said, Devas and demons, you both are there.

07:22The one who is weak, when parents serve him, they serve him.

07:26So, first we feed the Devas.

07:29Because they are weaker than you.

07:31You are the ruler of the kingdom.

07:33They don't have a kingdom.

07:35So, they are weak.

07:36So, first we feed them.

07:37Then we will feed you.

07:38He said, okay.

07:39So, he started feeding the Devas.

07:42And in that, an Asura, Rahu, who later became famous as Rahu and Ketu.

07:48He went and sat in the temple of Sun and Moon.

07:52And he was caught.

07:54From there, Anubandh ended.

07:57And the partition that was taking place, was broken.

08:00And Amrit was given to the Devas.
