Diwali or Deepavali, the festival of lights, is the most popular festival for Indians across the world. In large sections of the Hindu community, it marks the day Lord Krishna defeated the demon King, Narakasura.

In this episode, we explore the backstory of Narakasura who was actually not born as a demon, and look into the real reason why Lord Krishna had to wait so long to put an end to his reign of terror.

When the evil, shape-shifting demon king, Mahishasura, terrorized heaven and earth, there was no one, not even the Gods, who had the power to stop him. He was smart; so no one could trick him. He was strong; so no one could defeat him. Left with no choice, the Gods had to make a bold and unprecedented decision to combat him and his ruthless army.

In this episode, we talk about Durga, the Goddess of War and her epic clash with one of the most terrifying villains in Indian mythology.

In war, it's important to know who your friends and enemies are. But sometimes a battle between fate and honor can blur those lines. This is the story of Vali and his bitter rivalry with his younger brother, Sugriva, who is unfairly forced to suffer the consequences of a terrible misunderstanding. Unable to help his brother understand the error of his ways, Sugriva has to make a choice - ethics or justice.

In this episode, we explore the influence someone's past can have on someone else's future.
