Story 34 :: When the Gods Failed - जब देवता हार गए (A Story from Hindu Mythology - Markandeya Purana) (Hindi/English)

The Tab Se Ab Tak Show :: Inspiration & Motivation drawn from Stories in Mythology and History

***A VERY SPECIAL EPISODE***

• The gods fought for a hundred years, but lost.
• And then they put their heads together to find a solution.
• काँपी धरती, थर्राईं दिशाएँ, जब महिषासुर मर्दन को चलीं अम्बिका।
• बरसे फूल, और धरती पड़ी झूम, जब महिषासुर का वध कर चुकीं जगदम्बा।

सुनिए कहानी देवी के जन्म की, उनकी युद्ध की तैयारी की, महिषासुर के साथी दैत्यों और उसके साथ उनके युद्ध की, और फिर महिषासुर के वध की... मेरी इस कहानी/कविता में। (Reference: मार्कण्डेय पुराण )

Listen to the detailed story of how Ma Jagadamba was born and how she killed Mahishasura, the demon who even the gods feared. The details of this story are from Markandeya Purana.

A Note from Shafali:

Unlike the other episodes of The Tab Se Ab Tak Show, this episode hasn’t been recorded extempore (except its beginning and end.) I have recited the story as my own poem, which I wrote as an ode to Ma Jagadamba.

About the Tab Se Ab Tak Podcast:

This show tells stories from the World Mythology (mostly Hindu, Greek, Egyptian, Sumerian, and far-eastern mythologies,) and World History (mostly Indian, European, American,) and shares the folklore from around the world. This podcast, which is hosted by writer, speaker, and story-teller Shafali Anand, is mostly in Hindi with a sprinkling of English, (but the "Little Nothings" episodes are in Hinglish,) and it deals with several dimensions of motivation, inspiration, and also touches upon spirituality. It covers topics such as life and death, love and heartbreaks, personal relationships, pursuit of happiness, success and failure etc.

If you want to lose yourself into a world of mythological, historical, and sometimes fictional stories, interpreted to answer the questions you find yourself wrestling with...and you know Hindi, put your headphones on, and step in.
