Shravankumar — A story of love, devotion, curses and destiny

One of the most beautiful aspects of Parmarth Niketan Ashram is all of the Sacred and Beautiful Stories from the scriptures from our tradition that are here in all of these different statues. The statues that tell the stories from different aspects, different teaching stories throughout the spiritual history.

Here Sadhviji tells us the story of Shravankumar. It’s such a beautiful story teaching us the importance of love and devotion for our parents. It’s also the most fantastic example of the amazing karmic tapestry the threads of our lives are woven into. From Shravankumar’s blind parents to King Dasharath to Lord Rama and his exile — how the karmic threads weave together. . . . An incredible story of love, devotion, tragedy, curses and promises!
