The demon Śaṅkhacūḍa’s invincibility stems from his wife Tulasī’s pativratā dharma. Nārada asks Brahmā why Viṣṇu went to Tulasī’s house, unveiling the origin of Śāligrām and tulasī’s sacredness. Śaṅkhacūḍa, a Dānava born to Dhūmra through penance, gained Brahmā’s boon of being undefeated by gods. He married Tulasī, a yoginī devoted solely to purity. Their union amplified his power, and he tormented the gods. Brahmā, Viṣṇu, and Śiva conferred. Śiva fought Śaṅkhacūḍa for ages but could not defeat him due to two protections: a Kṛṣṇa-given armour and Tulasī’s unbroken marital fidelity. Viṣṇu devised a plan. Disguised as a beggar, he tricked Śaṅkhacūḍa into surrendering the armour. Then, assuming Śaṅkhacūḍa’s form, Viṣṇu deceived Tulasī. Realizing the betrayal, Tulasī cursed Viṣṇu to become stone. Śiva intervened, consoling her that her mind remained pure. She shed her body, becoming the Gaṇḍakī River, while Viṣṇu, by her curse, became Śāligrām stone. Tulasī merged into Vaikuṇṭha and is ever worshipped with Viṣṇu. Śaṅkhacūḍa, weakened, was slain by Śiva’s trident and returned to Kṛṣṇa. The pativratā dharma of a wife grants immense strength; breaching it dismantles that power. “Viṣṇu Bhagavān Śāligrām Ho Kar Rahe. Isliye Śāligrām Ko Viṣṇu Bhagavān Ke Pratīk Manā Jātā Hai.” “Śāligrām ke andar me cakra Sudarśana cakra dikhāī detā hai, Viṣṇu kā. Gaṇḍakī me jāke snāna karegā, āśirvād milegā aur sārā pāp chhuṭ jāyegā.” Filming location: Ujjain, India

The spine's structure, function, and care through yoga are examined. The spine consists of 24 vertebrae forming the axial skeleton, protecting the spinal cord. Muscles and ligaments support posture and movement. Pain arises from acute strain or chronic issues like poor alignment and disc damage. Daily postures, such as prolonged sitting, create imbalance and excessive load, particularly on the lower lumbar vertebrae. Proper biomechanics and the hydraulic function of intervertebral discs are crucial for distributing force. A brief daily yoga practice can alleviate these issues. Gentle stretching, twisting, and strengthening āsanas, performed with awareness, relieve tension, mobilize the spine, and improve overall energy. Consistency in a short morning routine yields significant benefit. "The spinal cord is the main highway in our body for nerve signals." "Chronic pains are more complex. They last for months or even years." Filming location: Slovenia

A spiritual address on illumination and purification through surrender. The path is found by grinding down desire until there is no shadow of want. This light purifies mistakes and corrects our course. We join together in this healing. The new way must be accessible to all. Equanimity is a daily practice. Surrender is like a sacred river flowing from the throat. A sincere desire will not be disappointed and will be met with blessing. "May that light of the little star shine upon all of us, so that it may continuously illuminate our path through life." "Grind it like this, like this, and you will find happiness."
