BAPS Swāminārāyan - Story of Shravan Ramayana Shadow Play (Yamsox Live Meditation May 20th, 2024)

Hindu Play and Meditation: Shravan Kumar's Devotion to Parents

Join us in this unique spiritual livestream clip, where we blend meditation with a heartwarming Hindu play by the BAPS Swāminārāyan Sanstha. We begin with an introduction to a special shadow play, narrating the story of Shravan Kumar from the Ramayana. We then dive into the tale of Shravan Kumar, showcasing his devotion to his blind parents and his tragic fate. The segment concludes with reflections on his story and an announcement of the continuation of the play. Immerse yourself in this serene session combining storytelling and spiritual practice.

The ‘Mountain of Shravan’ was created and performed by young volunteers of BAPS UK & Europe for ten days at the ‘Island of Heroes’ children’s cultural adventureland during the ‘Festival of Inspiration’ at Neasden Temple in London, UK, in celebration of His Holiness Pramukh Swami Maharaj’s centennial birth anniversary, in July 2022, inspired by His Holiness Mahant Swami Maharaj.
