Dharm Yoddha Garud

Plot

The story begins with Garud visiting his mother, Vinataa, with whom he shares a close bond. Garud despises his Naag (Snake) Brothers and his maternal aunt Queen Kadru, who mistreats Vinata. He seeks to learn how his mother became Kadru's slave. Garud asks his mother how to reach Vaikunth, and she tells him; he goes there intending to free his mother from slavery and learn the truth.

There, he meets Shesh Naag, who recounts Vinata and Kadru's past but does not know how Vinata became enslaved, directing Garud to Aditi Maa. Garud fights an Asura Army attacking Aditi Maa and succeeds. To protect her children, Diti Maa promises to reveal how Vinata became a slave. Garud confronts Kadru about her actions, leading to a fight between Garud and the snakes, resulting in Garud being made a slave to Kadru and her children.

Rahu arrives and demands Garud; when Kadru refuses, Rahu insults her. Takshaka, Kaaliya, and their brothers fight alongside Garud against Rahu's army. Kadru then orders Garud to take her to Maharaj Bali and tells her sons to care for Vinata. Rahu splits himself and follows Garud.

They meet Maharaj Bali and convince him to stop the war. Kadru praises her sons, and Garud wonders why she protected him. Kadru tasks Garud with obtaining the Suryaphool. Accompanied by his brothers, Garud accidentally reaches Shani Loka, where he is tested and passes.

Shani Dev becomes angry at the Naag Brothers, causing them to fall; Garud does not recognize them and retrieves the Suryaphool. Kadru curses Garud in anger. Vinata and Garud pray to Vishnu to prove Garud's innocence. Vishnu awakens from meditation and tells Garud he will face trouble and be part of something significant.

Lord Vishnu then tells Goddess Aditi that good times will come again for the deities. Goddess Aditi comes to find Garuda who helped her, and with Kadru's approval, she goes with Garuda to find her children. Lord Vishnu tells about Samudra Manthana and Garuda lifting the Mandaraachal mountain and placing it in the ocean of milk. Here, Garuda gets his stepbrother, Vasuki Naag, to be the rope for Sagara Manthan.

Gods and Asuras jointly perform these tasks and share the ratnas that descend there. During these events, a surprising event occurs in Vinata's household. Vinata went to the forest one day to collect firewood and met an old Baba who took him to her house and took care of him by giving him food. Later he proves to be sage Dattatreya and he blesses Vinata.

At that time, signs of Lakshmi's arrival appear through Sagara Manthan. The arrival of Goddess Lakshmi takes place through the ocean, followed by the marriage of Lord Vishnu and Goddess Lakshmi. Aditi, Diti, Kadru and Vinata also participate in this. Vinata won everyone's favour there.

Garuda's devotion is also praised by Lakshmi Narayan. The marriage ends and the Sagara manthana begins again where Amrita emerges. The Asuras, by trickery, steal the Amrit and the Devata's follow them. Vishnu takes the form of Mohini to trick the Asuras.

Goddess Mohini gives Amrita to gods. Indra's son Jayanta keeps the Amrita in a safe place. Later Garuda returns to his mother. Under the guidance of Lord Vishnu, Garuda learns from Nar and Narayan.

For this, the blessings of Ganesha and Goddess Saraswati are received and Garud gets a new task. Then Kadru says that if Amrita kalasha is placed before her, Vinata and Garuda will be freed from slavery. Garuda goes to Indra Lok and defeats Indra and brings the nectar. On the way, Vishnu is ready to punish Garud but Lakshmi stops him.

He then tells Indra to take the Amrit after Garud and Vinata received freedom. They both received freedom. Vishnu tells Kadru that all her sons will be food for birds like Garud in the future. Everyone decides to celebrate Ganesh Chaturthi and Nar Narayan decides to tell the story of Lord Ganesh.

Ganesh sends Mushak to see what his mother is preparing for him. Mushak gets caught by Kartikeya. All the Gods and Goddesses arrive and wish Ganesh. Kadru arrives and asks forgiveness from Vinata and Garud, being totally reformed.

Nar Narayan tells the story of Ganesh from where His mother wanted a son like Vishnu's avatar, Krishna. Vishnu arrives and blesses her. But, Mahadev goes to bless 2 Demons, thus missing the chance of seeing his son. Very soon, Parvati gives birth to a son.

She tells him to not let anyone come in until the time she finishes her meditation. However, when Mahadev returns and Ganesh stops him and he gets angry and cuts Ganesh's head. All of them realise who Ganesh is. Parvati realises what had happened and swears to destroy everything but Mahadev gives life to Ganesh with an elephant head.

Parvati at first refuses to accept him but later accepts him. Ganesh arrives at the end of the story and gives Garud the good news that he is going to be Vishnu's vahak. Garud gets extremely happy and goes to Vaikunth. Vishnu tells Garud to lift his finger but he falls down and as a result, he loses his powers and to regain his powers and become Vishnu's Vahaan, they take a human form to complete a mission.

They go to help Shastri and her husband to find their missing son by narrating the tale of Maa Parvati and all of her nine avatar's. With each passing day, both Garud and Shastri get the blessings.

Their greedy sister tries to take control of the house. At the 10th day, their son returns and the greedy sister realises her mistakes. Vishnu, Lakshmi and Garud return to Vaikunth.

Maa Lakshmi tells the story of 'Bhaktha Pralhad' and Narasimha Avatar of Vishnu. Later Gajendra calls for help and Garud finally gets to be Vishnu's Vahaan. They help Gajendra and the Devta's hail the name of Vishnu and Garud.
