It was difficult for Devi Parvathi to win Lord Shiva's heart, but not for Sati. It's been weeks since this show started, but still there is no sign of Sati and Shiva's wedding happening, and now there's this new dance sequence? When did that happen in the love story of Shiva and Sati?😕 I know it's going to be beautiful and all, but this is not a normal daily soap with ordinary lovers. I doubt Sati and Shiva would ever have danced together before marriage.same thought..too much of tampering is done That was not an acceptable custom in the Satya Yuga. Also, some of the stories they showed on Sati's feelings and all are a bit weird...it seems too modern. While I am impressed with the settings and technology, I'm not that impressed with the storyline. There's way more fiction and drama than actually happened.u said it all yaar..but then they mentioned that its inspired from a book n stuff..

I am eager to see Lord Shiva's other stories also, and wish the production house would not concentrate too much on Sati. I want to see Shiva's role in Lord Vishnu's kurma avatar, his marriage to Gauri Ma, the birth of Ganesha and Kartikeya...there is so much to show on Lord Shiva but the production house is dragging the Sati story to its limits. They could also show Lord Shiva being born as Hanuman,Oh yeh..it was mahadev's 11th avtar right?
when will we see that😕these ppl are dragging it like a daily soap..there is no sign of Prajapti's other 25 daughters who married Chandrma..we see only Naradji persuading Mahadev to get hitched sayin even Sri hari Narayan wants him to be..there are so many untold stories btw all this! Shiva's boons to Ravan, etc...there is a lot to show on Lord Shiva.

Am I the only one who feels this way or is there anyone else in the forum who agrees with me?

Nice post btw

Why is Mahadev seen everywhere everytime at the drop of the hat?😕...he is there for Raag Raagini's,Shilad,Shilpi,Narad??Ok,I can understand that this simply means that he is there for all his devotees but then he is known more for his reclusiveness than his participation,so this sort of random appearances everywhere seems a bit Non Shiva kind of behavior 😆.And ,why is it that no body respects his tapasya,everyone may it be Sati,Naradji or Gana /Pret...wakes him up for minutest thing ??😆And the best part is...he never get's angry for anything 😕Shiva is known for his angry temperament ,isn't he?Where is Vishnuji?Did I miss him or he has not been shown yet?

Oh u spoke my mind yaar seriously even i thought the same..why everyone has this presumption attitude when it comes to Mahadev..poor man is meditating here and every other person in every other moment disturbs him😲
And even on the Sri hari Vishnu thing ..Narada says that even Vishnu has sent him to persuade Shiva to get married..why cant he himself come for the same!😕

kyati and additi were not quite needed in the story...but i guess maybe they were needed for supporting cast sake...

about Shiva meditating,ideally his mediation should not break so easily,but considering that the show is about him,they well pretty much cant show him meditating all the time na?they have to show his interactions as well...so i guess thats excusable i guess

also...i wish we could see more of Vishnu Ji...he is an important character too...but he was shown only once and that too that part was cut off!Same with Shukracharya,Bramha Ji,Lakshmi and other characters...its upsetting because the story needs them!

the show is good no doubt-but it needs to get its script tight,and stop dragging the show like this...that too with a show of only 16 min for 6 days,they can afford to keep the script tighter!

Sati has realized her love now...can the story PLEASE begin?

This is d best myth show dat i hav seen yet without any slow songs d perfect cast n beautiful execution n i belive in looking at d plus points rather than d loopholes n as far as sati being a childhood shivbhakt is a joke as far as i have read n If modernity is concernd than todays world two days atraction is cald love n in those days those two days were long years n sati took about 15 years to impress lord shiva so if they are extending a few epis instead of 15 yrs I realy dnt mind THE MAKERS OF DIS SHOW HAV IMPRESED ME A LOT N JUST LIKE MY PREVIOUS SHOW 4 DIS SHOW TOO I WUD BE WID THEM IN WATEVER THEY DO N I LITERALY MEAN IT!!!!

Intially this show was named Sati, so they must be having enough matter to make a comelete show on Shivji & Sati, then the name was changed to Mahadev, to give it a vider canvas.

I am for the first time liking a mytho, which till now has not shown distored facts about the Mahadev. If you are keeping Shivpuran in mind as the story, then there will be disappointment. I am too happy to see othe stories like Chandra- rohini, Saptarishis, Shukrachrya( here till now he looks anything but a rishi), may be this dance of Shivji- Sati can be a dream sequence. imagining Nataraj dancining is not difficult. It may emphasise on Shivji's Nataraj form, like earlier Ardhanarishwar form was mentioned. I am really glad to see different aspects shown in such a way that non-mytho viewers are watching it too. It you see from other fields pov, like Astrology, Occult Sciences, then many things will start making sense. I am really looking foreword to know more unknown but true facts connected with various characters, which till now has not harmed the flow of this show, which is actually a very good compilation of various stories.

I'm happy that Kiyati & Aditi are there, but I quite agree w/ you - a show about Shiva bereft of Brahma, Vishnu, Lakshmi, et al feels somewhat incomplete. But as Mnx pointed out above, this show was originally supposed to be about Sati, but by renaming it after Mahadev, they've widened the scope a bit. I accept that much of the stuff here ain't in the Shivpuranas, so I won't critique that aspect. However, if they do show stuff that directly contradicts what's in the Shivpuranas, I'd have a problem w/ them.

One thing about this story - Vishnu wasn't exactly on Shiva's side - particularly @ that fateful yagna of Daksha's. He was one of those who Daksha propriated, and so he was allied to Daksha till the end. Ironically, if Daksha is resentful @ Shiva for his attack on Brahma, he should also be resentful of Vishnu, who was initially competing w/ Brahma as to who was greater. That aspect of this serial - Daksha's devotion to Vishnu - surprises me.

The major thing in this story I'm looking forward to is the event where Daksha was a guest of honor @ a function, but Shiva & Sati didn't rise to greet him (this was after Sati's marriage). That was what triggered Daksha's anger, and he retaliated w/ that yagna where Shiva was not invited, and which Sati crashed, resulting in her ending her life and the war b/w Daksha & Virbhadra's hordes.

@Vrish about Daksh i agree with you..no where it is mentioned of Dakshas hate for Shiva,he isnt supposed to agree to Satis marriage beacuse he doesnt think Shiva is worthy of her(which is shown in the show,that Daksh doesnt think Shiv is worth worshiping),however i havent read any info regarding Dakshas hate for Shiv before Sati married Shiva.

my pov--

appearance of lord siva at the drop of hat- drop of hat is not right in this context. raag raaginis, shilad,shilpi,narad,sati,rishi dadhich are not common people you are talking about.

raag raaginis are basics of music (bhaivi etc), they did mention music will die if they are not alive
shilad did penance and pleased lord siva and nandi was granted as a boon they did show this but did not show that he did penance for years.
shilpi went against daksha as he worships lord siva and lord siva came to their rescue as there was no place for them on earth and were in samshaan

naarad you just cant mix up naarad with every one. he is son of brahma and is respected by even gods. he does not need permission to go to siva

these are not random appearances and has to do with the story.

tapam is not dhyanam. he is not disturbed from tapam but from dhyanam. if he is in tapam no one dares to interrupt him and he will inform nandi about this.

siva is not known for anger temperment but for love towards devotees- bhakta vallabha

his anger is pralayam. it is clearly shown in the show he just subsided vritrasur but did not kill him as he gives chances to every one.

sorry for long reply 😆but i think u need to do little bit of home work as they cannot show every thing as hindu mythology is vast and not very easy to understand.😊

even i am liking this show. as i mentioned in one of my replies it is very difficult to understand hindu myth as it is vast and has many sub stories which we have to join dots. they did say that it is story of mahadev but not puranam. but still i like the way they are showing any ways their imagination will be added to actual story. at last they need to run the show and grab youngsters attention - satya

director has a vision so he wants to show but we should appreciate how interesting the serial is .

if its not modern technic ppl won't see it ---modern here and there is fine but the flow of the story should be maintained and its preety crisp and neat till now.

don't go deep even in movies also its shown little modern so watch it without complaining
