I've skimmed that book @ the store, but not read it. Am not sure of whether it's worth recommending or not - at least not at this point.

Vrish,

The IOM has a very different story, except some commen name it has no simmilarity with this show. This story is the maker's interpretation of various stories connected with Shivji, Sati, now Parvati with mainly depicting human emotional side of the lead characters. We have to look in many sources to know what exactly are they showing. They do take different route but up to some extent they stick to the end result generally.

I wonder who started this rumour of DKDM being related to the Meluha books. It seems to be a neverending misunderstanding. The two have nothing to do with each other. This show is a mythological in the more traditional sense (dramatization of myths and legends about Shiva) whereas the books are a fantasy adventure series based on the premise of Shiva being a human. That's it. There is nothing more to it.

This is the thread where it started. Having not read that book, I thought this was the case.

This show is based on a book

But thanks for clarifying that this serial is generally authentic. But some stories do look strange. Vijaya you mentioned was actually mentioned somewhere, but some of the other characters seem really out of nowhere. And Vritra and Tarakasura being allies is, well, too much to swallow, as is the plot about Tarakasura wanting the death of Sati.

Watching the past few episodes, Lord Vishnu and Lord Brahma were pleading with Lord Shiva to resurrect Daksh. Why exactly was Daksh required to live? I thought, he was resurrected when Prastuti pleaded for her husband's life but didn't understand why Vishnu and Brahma wanted Daksh alive.

From what I recall reading, the reason the devas wanted Daksha resurrected was so that the yagna would be complete. Even though the purpose of that yagna was to slight Shiva. Probably, not completing a yagna would have serious repercussions, which is why they begged Shiva to let it continue.

That makes sense. From what I know, what Daksh was doing was a really big yagna on a grand scale.

Vanadhi, I'm fine. Hope to hear the same from you.

Thanks for the explanations, but the storyline is still confusing to me.

There's so much I don't know about and the dialect (or should I say the choice of words?) are quite different from other mytho serials. Maybe its just me - I'm trying to understand the dialogues with the limited number of Hindi and Sanskrit words I know but somehow quite a lot of words seem unfamiliar to me. I can understand what the character is trying to say but don't know what exactly it means. The dialogues from Sagar's shows were different.

Ya me too fine .I think u are talking about our forum's famous word's like Ashist, Shadayantra ,Adiprasanatha , Ahuthi ,peeda etc😆 me to perplexed for the first time when i heard , later its practiced for me to be glued .since daksha is different, his familie's dialect too different 😆 ..hope the written update archives will help u a lot

As per the series, Lord Shiva had to cut himself off Devi Shakthi for the creation to continue. But why was it that Devi Shakthi had to be born in human form? Couldn't they have lived like Lord Vishnu and Goddess Lakshmi or Lord Brahma and Devi Saraswathi?

What I'm curious about is how mainstream is the belief that Vishnu used his discus to chop up Sati's body, since only one purana - the Markandeya purana - mentions it? Somehow, it just sounds too cruel, and not characteristic of Narayan at all! Yeah, the people @ the 51 shakti peeths, like Kamakhya, would definitely believe it, but is this something widely accepted that Vishnu did?

Was Parvati born as a human? Himavat was the mountain god representative of the Himalayas. So would his daughter have been human, even though she lived on earth? Ganga was his other daughter as well, but even she was divine, except for the brief period during her curse when she was married to Shantanu. So it would seem that Parvati too was divine, but nonetheless had to perform severe austerities in order to win Mahadev's acceptance.

On the language, I find the language here authentic, but somewhat unusual given some of the concepts they've borrowed, such as ahuti (sacrifice, but usually, a different term is used for offerings which I'm forgetting at the moment). Given some of the recent serials that I've seen, that are either based in pre-Muslim era in India or even worse, mytho serials that freely use Urdu based words, I'd say DkDM is far better.
