the real story of shiva is still unknown...and infact he is the god ...the only god mentioned in ancient india...before aryans...

many have interpreted the story of shiva in their own ways...but none knew which is correct...

i really appreciate mahadev team for showing the story in a different way...

What do you mean by only God mentioned before the aryans? Brahma-Vishnu-Mahesh have always been the divine trinity long before the Aryans.

And I never knew the story of Sati's Swayamvar, but if it's mentioned in Devi Bhagawatham, then I guess it did happen, because I follow Devi Bhagawatham also.

I hope the story of Devi Sati gets interesting from here...though some of the Shiv-Sati scenes were cute, some of them were too modern and depicted the God and Goddess as base humans, but now that Shiv and Sati are going to be married, I hope we will see some devotional Pati-Patni scenes between them.

this is the show...based on sati's point of view...sati is a human...so they showed such emotions...

devotional pati-patni scenes?😕...ab yeh kya hey???

shiva was the only god ...in ancient india...the concept of divine trinity...came after the aryans...as per my knowledge...

Saying Shiva is the only God or Vishnu is the only God is the school of though of Shaivism or Vaishnavishm respectively. I belong to the school of thought that the divine trinity are all equal and one. I don't distinguish between them or believe that one was greatest.

And Devi Sati was not just a human. She was an incarnation of the divine Goddess, so like Sita her thoughts, emotions, and actions too were pure. She was not a human like you or me...incarnations were never 100% human. They were born humans but had divine comportment.

Sometimes, I find Sati's behavior and emotions a bit too humanistic and annoying in this serial, like Lakshmi's were in BR Chopra's Vishnu Puraan. BRC showed her constantly worrying and complaining about the goings on in Earth, and I find Sati's behavior in this show similar. While incarnations were allowed to have a few human feelings, showing them as totally human is not something I like to see in a mythological show.

The best thing about DkDM in my opinion are the philosophical scenes between Mahadev and Nandishwar. I love those.😍 The CVs have really gotten the philosophy of Hindu mythology down pat, but there's definitely room for improvement in the way they show Shiv and Sati's romance IMO. I hope they handle Devi Parvathi better, if they do show her story.

I don't bring BRC's name every time...it's that in this incidence, the characters of Lakshmi and Sati seem the same.

Anyway, I don't want to argue with you. People in this forum seem to be very defensive about Shiv and Sati's love story, they can't take any criticism, but not just me, a lot of my my friends are also not pleased with the way Sati is being portrayed, and this is not the first mythological show we have watched.

I have not read every purana there is out there, but I am not stupid either. I have heard the discourses of knowledged saints and read a good number of books too. I know how the personalities of Gods and Goddess must have been when they came to Earth, because we have a lot of sources to base them off of.

I'm not saying this serial is bad, but it's not perfect either. I really like the philosophical and religious teachings it shows, but I'm not enjoying the romance because it's not how the Shivji and Sati Devi I pray to everyday would behave. All I have to say is that if their romance was perfectly shown, the TRPs of this show would have been a lot higher.

I just wish Sati wasn't portrayed to be so human sometimes. It's not what majority of mythological viewers want to see, regardless of anyone else.
