Penance of sage Narada

Badarikashrama: Penance of sage Narada:

(Skanda Purana - Badarikashrama Mahatmya - 2)

• Meditation: I meditate on sage Narada performing penance at Badarikashrama.

• Once sage Narada performed a severe penance at Badari to get the vision of Lord Vishnu. He stood on a rock taking only air and products of trees for sixty thousand years. Lord Vishnu initially came in the form of a brahmana and later revealed His true form to sage Narada. Narada eulogized the Lord with various hymns. The Lord told Narada to ask for a boon. Narada asked for unflinching devotion to His lotus feet and His presence in the rock where he performed penance. The Lord granted the boon and thus was Narada tirtha created.
