- Dig into the tale of Princess Savitri and her one true love, Satyavan, and the tragic prophecy that entwined their fates forever.
--
Princess Savitri was benevolent, brilliant, and bright. Her grace was known throughout the land, and many princes and merchants flocked to her family’s palace to seek her hand in marriage. But upon witnessing her blinding splendor in person, the men lost their nerve. Unimpressed with these suitors, she determined to find a husband herself. Iseult Gillespie tells the tale of Savitri and Satyavan.
Lesson by Iseult Gillespie, directed by Jagriti Khirwar & Raghav Arumugam.

The Nellie Bertram trick. :)
I liked how Death wasn’t viewed as a villain in this story, rather a respectable someone just doing their job and not without sympathy
Death is not a villain its hero in India.
@@sarthak1109 that’s cool, thanks
@@thebirdbrained. it is because death is just as important as life in indian scripture.
@@sarthak1109 makes sense to me!
the god of death king yama is infact the most benevolent and honest god. He was a humain once according to mythology but was soo honest and had such a good character which impressed lord shiva who gave him the duty to guard the underworld as only the purest of the souls could do the job
I love how her family got so happy she found a person to marry instead of forcing her to marry someone
In ancient India women were free to choose their husbands. India's culture changed drastically after Turkic and British (Islamic & Christian) invasions in last 1000 years.
That was a common practice in ancient India. Women used to choose their own partners.
@@LaggardInLove well it actually started changing in later vedic age
Yea India would have been a better place if it continued but it again has started again very slowly so I'm happy
A very common practice in ancient India.
For instance, there was swayamwar, meaning self choosing partner through various competitions etc...
Oh! I remember my mother telling me this story dozens of times when i was a kid! But in her version Savitri only had one wish...
'I wish that Satyavan's father can see his grandchildren play at his palace'
Which is basically all the wishes. "See " meaning he gets his vision back, "His grandchildren" so Satyavan is brought back to life, and "palace" to mean Satyavan's father gets back his kingdom.
Same here
Same here
She outsmarted Yamraj with that ONE AND ONLY wish
That’s even better. She outplayed him with ONE wish. That’s impressive. I love this!!
Same
Those dislikes are coming from the rejected suitors
nice one
😂🤣
And from Hindu fundamentalists pissed off by the usage of the word 'myth'.
sooo true man
HaHaH
Moral of the story: If death is stalking you, just keep stalking it back until you freak it out and it grants your wishes
Yup, basically
Lmao
😂😂😂😂, I'm gonna do that
My sister would freak out a god in minutes. She can be very annoying
They distorted the story. Yamaraja did not give her wishes because she was persistently following him. Yamaraja was conversing with the princess along the way and was impressed by her knowledge and understanding, thats why he offered to grant her wishes, anything other than Satyavan's life.
Actually in the story my grandma told me, she was given only one wish so she said " I want my father in law to see my husband and his children eating in a golden bowl." In this way, she asked all three things together, her husband, her father in law's sight and his kingdom.
same....that's what I have heard too....
Yup I think that's the actual one!
wow this way much smarter answer
+
That is extremely clever. I think that I prefer that wish to the three that they had in this version of the story.
Whenever you see Muni Narad in an indian story you already know that the story is going to be amazing !!
Narad ji be like- Ok fellas, here comes the plot twist.
Literally everyone- What's the twist?
Narad ji- Me. I am the plot twist. Now hear me...
Narad ji only says N word 😳
At first I thought they're going to make him some kind of a villain by the way they animate him (it looks like he's scheming something at first), but glad to see he's a good guy
Yes.
He'll keep gossiping everywhere.
Savitri: Yama raj, I've come to bargain
Dr Strange: Noted
Haha so true 😂
Ah yes
Loll

Death: 'I fear no man! But that girl... she scares me.'

i like how yamraj accepted that she is clever and out witted him. He wasnt offended but rather embraced his defeat.
He wasn't really defeated , he just got impressed and a bit emotional so granted her what she wanted
@@time8745 Yeah, like if he wanted he could just make her pregnant out of thin air because magic

There are many more stories from Hinduism on UA-cam you can watch! Especially on the gods--Shiva, Brahma, Ganesh, so on.
Cause it's not a extinct culture.
Because some Indians are so sensitive they'll take an offence in everything
The comments on these are hilarious. I like how everyone respects the stories of different ethnicities but also manage to make it funny without offending anyone.

Death: I’ve come for your husband
Savitri: I’ll pretend I didn’t hear that
As far as I have heard, she asks for " Satyavan's father to be able to see her grandchildren" in a single wish, in which she manages to get all the 3.
intelligence level 💯
his*
Exactly i have heard the same. I mean how can you outwit by just wanting babies . It was specificaly her father-in-law s grandchildren she asked for.
In mythologies usually there are many different versions, usually depending on the region as these are VERY VERY VERY old stories that were passed through words at first, if you've played chinese whispers you know what can happen
So it makes sense that there are many versions both are acceptable
Adding to that, it was like, Satyavan's father being able to see his grandchildren eating in a golden bowl. That golden bowl signifies the wealth.
wait not 3 just 2 since seeing grandchildren requires just eyes, and your daughter-in-law's husband, not a lavish kingdom
I have heard this myth as a bed time story from my mother , but it was slightly different : Yama didn’t continue to stop and grant her a wish , he gave her one chance . Her wit was displayed by how she phrased her wish . What she said translates to ( from Tamil ) :” I want to see my child sway to sleep in a golden cradle in the view of his grandparents and parents “ . And there u go , Savitri had her ‘ one wish ‘ granted . Hope this was a good read . Have a great day 😊 folks !
I know, BUT Myths have MANY Variations, so there is no cannon in Mythology.
Exactly! Accurate

@@damunaik4it's a folk ritual that's why. Every ethnic community have different rituals which tells story of Princess savitri
Finally a story where the Princess saves the prince 😂
I AGREEEE
plenty of such stories in Indian Mythology. The "Prince saves the Day" is a Western Concept.
@@Alan_is_here true
U don't use the word "finally" for smth that has always been there. The Rupas of Maa Durga saved all the three lokas from asuras.🌺💞
I mean Ariel did save Prince Eric's life. Most tales don't have the prince saving the princess but they are most popular so it thought of as an overused trope. There is Beauty and the Beast too, she may not be a princess but you know. People tend to focus on tales such as Sleeping Beauty and Snow White and Rapunzel. But there are many tales which have a princess save the prince or goes thru a journey without needing a man. If only people knew more about them. They are very good.
Death: I’m taking ya man
Savitri: No
Death: That’s not how-
Savitri: *No*
Death: understandable have a good day
*have a great day*
It's Yama
*lol*
@@Omori_cuphead_hatsune-miku lol they mean ya man like your man, not the god
girls can be scary
I always love stories where the embodiment of death doesn’t feel cheated or betrayed. He’s just like “Well played”.
The Morrigan from Irish myth is like that too. Tried to woo Cu Chulainn and got rejected so she got mad and tried to kill him three times.
Cu Chulainn, being a top tier gamer, defeated deaths attempt to kill him 3 times and eventually ended up shinning her really bad.
Impressed, she left him alone and even stood with him at his eventual real end to welcome him to te afterlife personally.
moral of the story is : ultimate love is so pure that even death fear it
Death doesn't fear it, it respects it, death doesn't fear anything.
@@ensis8716 yes...

@@alex2005z true 😂
My Telugu teacher told this story in class, when she was teaching ramayanam. She not only told about sati savitri but all the noble women.
One of them was sati sumati. Who stopped sun for a whole day with her will power to save her husband.
Women in India celebrate them. I specifically love these stories. My Telugu teacher always told us stories from epics. Miss those days.
me too!
In the original story Savitri followed Yamraj and Yamraj offered her immense wealth and prosperity but she rejected and kept following her, the 2nd time Yamraj offered her a place in heaven but she rejected and kept following her.
When reaching the gates of Yamlok(Kingdom of Yamraj) Yamraj again saw Savitri and told her to ask for a boon of her choice except her husband's life.
She asked for her in-laws to see their grandchildren playing with golden toys in their royal palace. Yamraj agreed and began marching towards his Yamlok but then Satyavati asked how could he take her husband soul with him when he gave her the boon, now he have to stand by his words.
Impressed by Savitri's wit and her devotion towards her husband he revived her husband.
Considering the version you speak of along with the story Yudhishthira and His Dog PLUS the fact that Yamaraj is the Hindu god of justice as well as death, I now feel like he was testing Savitri all along.

That's Indian mythology for you guys. Relentless and strong female characters. Not the damsel in distresses the "modern" European literature provided ..
Yes. If one reads Mahabharata, the mental strength and uprightness of the princess Draupadi may astound them.
I've noticed it's mostly the Muslims calling these things 'mythology' it's deeply offensive to Hindus as this stuff has been around as our reality for centuries before Abrahamic faiths, and when they came they deemed our culture as mythological. Please correct your words.
True, I just wish they'd have one for us science nerds about the creation of the airplane and cell phone many millennia ago
@@N_ei_Ldo you realise all ancient stories are considered mythical or legendary because in older times humans didn’t record history as it is. They wrote it in the form of poetry and exaggerated many things. It was around the time of Buddha I think when humans started writing history factually.

I don't get why this is important. Indians have an accent in English, and native English speakers will obviously have an accent in Hindi or any other foreign language for that matter. India has so many languages and yet after so many centuries none of them have figured out how to live with all of them. Hindi speakers make fun of other languages. Tamil speakers hate Hindi.

Remember girls, when death comes to take your husbands, just say no very politely
@@lumossk3657 BJHFJHFJK. I'll try
Sati was a goddess , who was the wife of lord Shiva . Her father Daksha disliked Shiva and didn't want Sati to marry him , but she did it despite Daksha criticizing Shiva for his looks and sage like livelyhood. Some time later after Sati's marriage,.her father organised a big Yajna ( a ritual - fire sacrifice, which was a symbol of power ) and invited everyone but Sati and Shiva . Sati thought her father didn't invite because she was his daughter and didn't need those formalities, despite Shiva saying otherwise. She went there and was acknowledged by her family except her father. Daksha became furious seeing her , and humiliated her and Shiva openly in front of everyone. Sati then burned herself for her husband's honour and free herself from the blood relations with her father for his misdeed. Hence the ritual Sati ,(although this didn't originate it) which was performed in many parts of India (which is not a good ritual at all mind you) . Sati-Savitri are like the role model for being an ideal, strong wife according to Indian mythology, hence the blessings.
Hope it explained everything.
now Satyavan can't win an argument, since Savitiri just has to pull the "i saved your life once" and win
It's viewers point of view
It's about living Eternal by her way of conduct,it not easy to understand about Bharata/India n Rightiousness/Dharma etc

Death: *takes Savitri's husband
Savitri: I'm gonna end this man's whole career.
Love from india 👍
Lol
😂😂
Lollll i love u ...... omg
Good one👍
I have listened this story many times as a child via my Mom and grandmother
"Alright girl. I grant u one final wish, but mind u, it can't be your husband's life"
"I want Kids"
"Dang it"
Ok I'll give you another live man
I love how savitri is showed as brown accuracy 100 she’s beautiful and brown
Then marry her.
Did you meet her? This is all just imagination, proper portrayal is non existent.
Wow u guys really be here to hate huh
@@gazibizi9504 I’m Indian and let me tell you I feel represented through the video as most Indian women are shades of brown
@@gazibizi9504 that's what she's trying to say. that she loves how the video portrayed her with brown skin
Savitri: "so you guys takingnotes? "
Romeo&Juliet, rose and jack, literally every character in a sad romantic movie: "yes ma'am".
Edit: Also I just found out there is a day celebrated in India about them, Vat savitri day. It's literally on every star plus drama I would've never known the story if I hadn't seen this 💯❤
All those are the kids in the back
But hey there is a diffrece between sad romantic movies n myths , you can't simply outwit death like that in Hollywood films they're more of reality whereas these are MYTHS
In the story of Romeo and Juliet they were supposed to die. The point of the story was to have a tragic impact, and not a happy ending.
LMAO
ARMY💜
Many people saying it's a mythology. I just want to say it's not just mythology, it's our history
Who is to say a story can’t be a part of history?
True that 😌
Absolutely.
It's mythology. But not an actual mythological story. Its a metaphor, concealing deep philosophical and spiritual meaning. Our work, is to decode it.
@@rookiedetective569 That's a nice way to look at it.
"Till death do us apart"
Savitri : hold my mug
Such a lame joke
Please do more tales from India. We have a lot of them and it would be great if we can share it with people around the world.
I second this
Every country does
@@sebinvarghese4909 yea but I think the person was requesting more from India as the mythology from there isn't featured as much on this channel specifically
I enjoy them very much, and im not indian
@@TM-my2dj lmmmm.l.llmmmm.l.l.ll
The great thing about this is that there were no mistakes in pronunciation and also no stereotypes about India were shown . This video is very good and I appreciate the hard work that has gone into it.
True man it's very rare
Except Satyavan's name. The narrator's accent came out on that one. But not a bad job for a non-Indian.
how would an Indian myth have steryotypes? Wasn't it Hindu to begin with?
@@certainlysoup508 at that time there was no Hindu. It is a term coined by travellers of Persia or Arabia (not confirmed). So one should consider it as Indian mythology and not with religion.
@@certainlysoup508 😂😂plz read history
Now plz don't get offended I'm just saying generally
Thank you for acknowledging the beautiful of ancient Indian literature. Im too not committed to reading em but i felt good to hear em
This was my favorite story as a little girl, I still have the Amar Chitra Katha of it & lots of love to this animation !!
However some notes are that the god was amused to see her, and could tell that she was coming because of her anklets.
In the version I read, Savitri says to Yama that walking 7 steps together makes people friends but she's walked more than 7 steps with him.
He gives her a wish for this reply and she asks for her father in law's sight and kingdom back
As they keep walking Yama is very astonished that Savitri asks for nothing for herself and they talk more back and forth. He is pleased with her undying devotion and gives her two more wishes. She asks for sons to continue her father's lineage- 100 sons.
Yama grants her this wish but she replies with, "How can I have sons if my husband is dead?"
Yama finds he had been outwitted and her devotion was immense so she got her husbands life back!
This is the version I read, I'd like to hear more!
I remember hearing another variation of this story where Savitri tells Yamaraj once they reach the underworld that "A wise man once said that 2 people become friends once they've walked 7 steps together, and we've walked much more than that" and it amuses him enough to return her husband to her, I always thought that was sweet.
Yes, I know, She tried to be friends with Yama (in a book i read)
This one's better
yo imagine being baller enough to be best friends with death
So she cheated on her husband with the God Of Death? Damn Daniel!
@@omransaeed1988 when did being friends with someone amount to cheating? Such narrow-mindness.. Pathetic!
Indian mythology/history had strong women like Savitri, Sita, Yashomati, Durga, Rani laxmi bhai, satyabhama, Kaali, draupadi, rudrama devi, nur jahan, rani durgavati, razia sultana etc
But due to invasion, colonization and mixing differentcultures, women were oppressed 💔
i watched the show version of razia sultan and it was truly a superb story
Yes
Draupadi ke nam se dar lagta hei mahabharat dekhne ke batt 😂😂😂
"Draupadi" the women that caused whole Mahabharat
💯 agreed and also add Ahilyabai Holkar's name in the list .
This was the first story that I read in my school book, I remember I was in awe with the story as a child.
ps: Savitri is so beautiful in this animation
♥
This put a smile on my face, this is amazing
So finally I have seen a princess brown rather than a porcelain white one....now I can die peacefully....😍
You say that like everyone in India is brown.
well ur query is valid
@@thelivingdead1728 not really
@@sunilchavara4036 yeah mostly are brown ! But it's genetics difference that makes them white
Lol you never see tiana? 👁️👄👁️
greek gods: no you cant insult us! THANATOS KILL THEM!!!!
indian gods: oh that was clever, here you can have him back.

Actually, to be fair, even Hades was 10x fairer than Zeus. It seems like the highest ranking king god in most polytheistic religions are the most vile, whilst the 'death' and 'underworld' gods are more benevolent and forgiving.
Hades let Orpheus have Eurydice back under one condition (that Orpheus ruined for himself, not Hades)
Hades let Heracles borrow Cerberus as a part of his trials, he didn't really play much of a hand in his journey, that was mostly Hera
Plus, Hades and Persephone probably have the healthiest relationship compared to most of the gods. The version of the myth where Persephone willingly wanted to stay in the underworld is favored by most greek mythologists and is widely considered canon
@@drawnwithlove3499 name is Hades, lord of the dead, how ya doin?
@@drawnwithlove3499 hmm
Name one more religion who's king God is vile.
And also yes, I feel hadesXpersephone is one of the healthiest ones. Especially since it technically started with a kidnap
@Arthur Morgan same is true with Hinduism. The first pre historic god you can only find existence of shiva and in the course of time many other gods were added. And actually you never have listened much stories from Hinduism read Mahabharat as a starter its such detailed that you will be amazed.
And because of this story, we in Odisha, celebrate this day as Sabitri brata. This pooja is where all wives fast for their husbands👍🏻😁
actually, its a festival all over India for Hindus called as 'karvachot' (spelling might be wrong) ..idk about other religions sorry
Yes 😊😊😊
@@krrishisisodiyamr1968 ya.. We in Odisha nane it as Sabitri brata
Yes on the day of karvachauth wives read this story every year.
0:41 this is how parents say they went to school😂🏫
exactly
There are so many badass women in Hindu mythology....
It would be great if ted ed did videos on tenali Raman and panchatantra stories
@Avisha M there is a version of ramayan from west Bengal which is close to this.
@Avisha M according to one legend rama didn't kill ravana, Ram just sent him somewhere where Sita maa killed him in her aggressive form
@Y B yeah.. it's history not mythology
@@justanotheridiot0 Yes, one popular version, whose name I don't remember, says that Sita Mata is indeed a warrior princess who could kill all demons hy her might, but she had waited for Ram to kill all other demons and then she finally kills Ravan on the day every other demon is slained by Rama.
I love that these myths usually have a strong female character.
For us , this is history
@@shashidharchaudhary6249 True.
That's Bharat to you my friend. We've always respected women.
or a rather annoyingly persistent one
@@puroosingla7237 not always but our female role models from Scriptures were really strong
Animation, Music, Narration, Everything - Beautifully done! Thank you!
The animation is absolutely stunning!!!
Great work! loved it!

That book was free distributed by the Brazilian government to high school students. I remember reading it for the first time and falling in love by the main character as she inspired me to be persistent and persuasive.
Que livro? Preciso

I know you don't like your current government but they have thanked us by
Using another mythological character (Hanuman, the monkey god) when India sent vaccines.
@@90amankumar81 I didn't knew that, thank you for the information. Indian culture is big in Brazil due to the premier of one of the most successful soap operas (telenovela) called "Caminho das Índias" in 2009 which approached a novel situated on the country. Bolsonaro's act was a minimum effort.

Tears came into my eyes seeing the devotion and love of a wife towards her husband and that's true love which is very rare nowadays, we have many things to learn from the savitri and satyaban .
idk why but this channel educates me more than school for some reason
