He studies the life of people for welfare and giving justice.He was the first to practice Natya Yog.He is well known as 'Kalaha(Quarrels)priya', since he playfully causes quarrels amongst Gods Goddesses and people.

Narad Muni is a divine sage from the Vaishnava tradition, who plays a prominent role in a number of the Puranic texts.like 'Bhagvat Puran'.In the Ramayana, Narada is an auther of philosophical meanings of the temple Deity worship.

The Bhagavata Purana describes  Narada's spiritual enlightenment: In his previous birth Narada was a gandharva (angelic being) who had been cursed to be born on an earthly planet due to some offense.

He was born to a maid-servant of  saintly priests (brahmins). The Brahmins were pleased with their services and blessed them by allowing to eat some of their sacred food which was offered to their lord, Vishnu as 'Prasad.

Gradually Narada received further blessings from these sages and heard them discussing many spiritual topics. After his mother's demise, he roamed in search of enlightenment to understand the 'Supreme Absolute Truth'.

He sat under a tree for meditation (yoga), in a tranquil forest ,concentrating on the paramatma form of Vishnu within his heart as he had been taught by Brahmins. Later on, Narad experienced a vision wherein Lord Vishnu(Narayan) appeared before him and said. "though you have seen me at this very moment, you may not  see my divine form until you die".
