About Two Avatars: Brilliant as the Sun: A Retelling of Srimad Bhagavatam: Canto 3, Part 2 (Unabridged)

A vivid dramatization of Srimad Bhagavatam’s third canto. This ancient teaching is widely accepted as India’s most influential text. It explains the science of yoga and mysticism, culminating in knowledge of the supreme absolute and one’s eternal identity in relationship to that truth. It was composed 5,000 years ago in Sanskrit by the great sage Vyasadeva and has since been translated many times, but this is the first complete retelling. The series Brilliant as the Sun aims to make this sublime work accessible to any listener by presenting it in the style of a modern novel. Adhering closely to the original text, it brings out the deep meaning of Srimad Bhagavatam and helps the listener easily follow its flow. In this fourth volume, we hear about the appearance of Vishnu’s stupendous boar incarnation Lord Varaha, who rescues the earth from the demon Hiranyaksha. We also meet the great sage Kardama, who marries Devahuti, daughter of the earth’s emperor Manu. She gives birth to Lord Kapila, the divine incarnation who descended to teach the ancient science of sankhya yoga. Filled with enlightening wisdom and stimulating stories, Two Avatars presents the ancient teachings of the epic Srimad Bhagavatam in a highly enjoyable way that will appeal to anyone seeking real peace and lasting happiness.
