The Journey of Narada Muni: From Humble Beginnings to Divine Sage: The story unfolds when Vyāsadeva, the great sage and compiler of the Śrīmad-Bhāgavatam, expresses a heartfelt curiosity. He turns to Narada and asks a deeply personal question: “Tell me about your past—how did you become who you are?” It’s a question that resonates even today within the modern Vaiṣṇava and ISKCON communities. Often, when we meet someone deeply immersed in Kṛṣṇa consciousness, we ask: “How did you join?” It’s a way to understand not just someone’s spiritual commitment, but also their background, struggles, and inspirations.
