Educational Q&A

Hearing a noble and dharma-centered account can reorient even great rulers toward the highest ideal—devotion to Nārāyaṇa—so that ethical life and governance are grounded in a supreme spiritual refuge.

Vaiśampāyana reports to King Janamejaya that, after listening to an excellent upākhyāna (episode), Yudhiṣṭhira and all his brothers undergo an inner shift and become firmly devoted to Lord Nārāyaṇa.
