The King Who Sacrified Everything for Truth- Markandeya Purana - Part 2

"What would you sacrifice for the truth? Your wealth? Your crown? Your family? This is the story of a man who gave up everything — not for power, not for glory, but for dharma. Step into the fire-lit world of King Harishchandra, where honesty clashes with fate, and the gods themselves become spectators to a mortal’s uncompromising integrity. This is not just mythology — it's a mirror of timeless courage. In this part 2 of the 2-part podcast story -"The King Who Sacrified Everything for Truth", from Markandeya Purana, we will know the answers- What happened when Sage Vishwamitra looked into the dakshina given to him by Harishchandra after selling off his wife and son? Was Harishchandra able to pay off his debt? Were there more misfortunes stored for him? Was he able to reunite with his wife and son?

The king who sacrificed EVERYTHING for TRUTH! Markandeya Purana – Part 1

What’s the real price of a promise? A piece of gold? A bit of land? For one legendary king, the price of his word was far, far greater. It wasn't his crown or his vast, prosperous kingdom. The ultimate cost of his promise was his beloved wife, his only son, and himself. This is the story of a kingso devoted to truth that he was forced to sell his own family and himself into slavery. It's a story that pushes the very limits of honour, sacrifice, and what a human being can endure. This is the story of the great Ikshvaku King, ancestor of Lord Rama, Raja Harishchandra! This podcast is part 1 of a 2-part story on Raja Harishchandra from Markandeya Purana.
