In Dwapara Yuga, Vyas Maharshi was once sitting in a lonely place after taking bath in the sacred water of River Sarasvati. Vyas Maharshi had an unfailing eye which could read the past as well as future. He found people in future very materialistic, short lived and unlucky. After dividing Vedas in 4 parts – Rigveda, Yajurveda, Samaveda and Atharvaveda; composing Mahabharata (Itithas) and 18 Puranas which together are considered as 5th Veda. After all this sacred work, Maharshi Vyas was not satisfied. Then he saw Lord Nard Muni who later advised him to meditate Lord Vasudeva and his works.
