Story of Birth of Narada Muni
According to mythology, Narada Muni was born from the lap of Lord Brahma. But for this, he had to undergo severe penance in his previous births. It is said that in the previous life Narada Muni Gandharva was born in the clan and his name was 'Upabarhana'. According to mythology, he was very proud of his form. Once a few Apsaras and Gandharvas were worshiping Lord Brahma with song and dance. Then Upbaharna came there with the adornment of women. Seeing this, Brahma ji became very angry and cursed the Upbarn that he would be born in 'Shudra Vagina'.
Upabarna was born as the son of a Shudra maid by the curse of Brahma. Both mother and son serve the saints with a sincere heart. His mother died at the age of five. After the death of the mother, that child resolved to devote his entire life in devotion to God. It is said that one day when that child was sitting under meditation under a tree, suddenly he got a glimpse of God which immediately disappeared.
This incident awakened the desire of the little child to know God and see him. After continuous austerity, one day the Akashvani suddenly said that in this birth, that child will not have darshan of God but in the next life he will be able to reclaim them as his councilor.
In his next birth, this child was called the son of Lord Brahma and became famous in the whole universe by the name of Narada Muni.
