Ep 25 | Daksh ka Ahankaar aur Vinaashkari Yagya ka Aayojan | RUdra Samhita | Sati Khand (Chapters 78 & 79)

Drop us a message, apni baat humse keh dijiye

Aaj hum milte hain Daksh ke ahankaar se — jo yagya aur maryada ke naam par Shiv ko hi bahishkarit kar deta hai. Nandi aur Dadhichi ki chetavni, shraap–prati-shraap ka kolahal, aur Shivji ka karuna-bhara maun… yahin se Daksh-yagya ke vinaash ka beej boya jaata hai.

In Episode 25 of the MahaShivPuran, the story turns toward the rise of ego—ahankaar—through the figure of Prajapati Daksh. Set against the backdrop of an ancient yajna at Prayag, this episode reveals how pride, disguised as ritual correctness and moral authority, slowly separates a seeker from truth.

When Daksh enters the assembly, all rise in reverence—except Shivji, who remains still, centered, unmoved. What is inner stillness for Shiv becomes perceived disrespect for Daksh, and from that single moment, ego begins to construct its own justification. Ritual replaces awareness. Authority replaces humility. And a sacred yajna begins to lose its soul.

Through the voices of Nandi and Rishi Dadhichi, the Puran offers a timeless warning: without Shiva—the living consciousness—no ritual can remain sacred. Even when mantras, priests, and fire are present, a yajna without inner truth becomes ayajna—void, empty, performative.

This episode marks the true beginning of the Daksh Yajna narrative, showing how unchecked ego hardens into opposition, and how spiritual blindness grows not from ignorance, but from self-importance. It is a profound reflection on how “doing everything right” can still lead us away from the divine when the heart is no longer listening.

Har Din MahaShivPuran is not just a spiritual podcast—it is a journey of inner inquiry, where ancient stories gently illuminate the subtle movements of ego, silence, and awakening within our own lives.
