Lord Shiva

Finally,after almost 1 month,Bholenath finally listened 2 our prayers and he woke up frm his samadhi.😃 Hum log karte rahe pratiksha,Parvati karti rahi prarthana,but but but...Shiv woke up when he realised Kamdev is going 2 hit him wid his Love arrow.And den Mahadev got up in his usual style and anger wid "Mahadev dev dev"in da background.Mahadev is bak 2 being his old self.He once again rejected Sati aka Parvati aka Adishakti(whatever)and also gave a nice scolding 2 all da devtas.So let's welcome back our beloved Mahadev.

Mata Parvati

Parvati finally realised da uddeshya behind her birth.She finally realised her powers and reached Shiva.She apologised 2 Shiv 4 all da mistakes she committed as Sati and also blamed herself 4 Shiv's condition.She tried her best 2 wake him up,frm crying and pleading 2 playing da veena to finally dressing up in solah singaar.But her hard work did not bear fruit as Kamdev was sent by Indra 2 break Shiv's samadhi.What followed was a complete disaster.She saw Kamdev burning in front of her eyes.Shiv failed 2 recognise her inspite of her efforts and rejecting her love.She beared da brunt of Kamdev's death as Rati cursed her dat she can never become a mother.She accepted da curse wholeheartedly.She was upset dat her pehli mulaqat wid Shiv brought such a huge disaster 2 da world and blamed herself 4 giving Shiv lot of pain once again.But still she never gave up.😊All dese incidents gave her more determination and will.😃She promised herself dat she will win Shiv's heart and also make Maina approve her relationship wid Shiv.Her determination and wit even led 2 Maina's bolti bandh.😆👏So dis week,Parvati deserves 2 be da Character of da week once again.

Character of the week for the second week

Before going 2 character of da week,first let me appreciate few characters who brought a sudden yet dramatic change in parvati's life.

1.Mainavati for finally realising Shiv's importance in Parvati's life.Finally she realised dat no matter how much she tries,she is never gonna succeed in separating Mahadev frm Parvati.She proved dat she is not dangerous and egoistic as Daksh and is really concerned abt her daughter's happiness.Hats off to her.👍🏼

2.Nandi-He showed his Mata da true path of bhakti.He came in disguise and told Parvati dat she can win Mahadev not jst by love.She also has 2 do bhakti and bhakti is much more greater and important dan Love.He also emotionally blackmailed Mahadev 2 accept Parvati.Nandi aur emotional atyachaar nahi karega,aisa kabhi ho sakta hai?😆

3.Narad-For telling Parvati to do da solah somvaar vrat and helping her in da path of bhakti.

4.Vishnu-For making Parvati his sister and making a shivling.

Finally,let's talk abt Character of dis week

1.Mata Parvati👏

She is da Character of da week not bcoz of her determination and inner strength.I hv mentioned dis last week too.Dis time she has given dis special position 4 doing da bolti bandh of Mahadev.👏😆 not once but twice.

Mahadev apne aap ko bahut smart samajhte hain.He thinks dat if he cld make Sati weak by his constant rejections,he cld do da same wid Parvati too.😆Yehi pe dhoka kha gaye jannab.First he came in disguise of Chandaal and told Parvati almost da same thing dat he had once told Sati.She can't go 2 da shamshaan and stay wid Mahadev in her human form.Sati was disappointed but Parvati was not.With her wit,she crossed da river and came 2 da shamshaan and dat too in front of Mahadev.Mahadev had no oder choice but 2 leave dat place.

Then he came as a young prince and again told her 2 forget Mahadev and marry someone else.Parvati gave him a befitting reply dat dere's no purush in da world except Mahadev.👏👏👏

Isse kehte hain ,Bolti Bandh.



Now, we agan have our Sanju baby coming with

Mahadev scene of the Week!

Har Har Mahadev! Bolo Uma Pati Mahadev Ki Jai!

Our Mahadev is back! And Back with a Bang. It has been seriously too long that they have kept us waiting but it well worth the wait. Mohit hasn't really been exhausted with scenes but seeing him speak and interact with others was like yaaay! Finally. I felt like ab jaan aayi show main.

"Aaj Kitne Dinno Ke Baad, Aaj Chand Nikla"

That is like exactly how I felt.

The scenes that Mahadev had this week with Maa Parvati in the cave and the other God's outside the cave were amazing but Mahadev stole the show in Shamshanghat scene.

So Nandi and the other devotee ghouls ask Mahadev to return to Kailash but Mahadev refuses. That is the scene that not only made me feel nostelgic thinking of Maa Sati but it showed this time to what extent Mahadev loves Maa Sati.

"I will never return to Kailash for so many memories of Sati reside there. Sati was my soul and when someone dies their soul no longer is a part of them therefore my place is right here in this funeral ground"

^ Hats off to the Dialogue writer for writing such a heart touching dialogue and Kudos to Mohit for delivering it with such conviction.

I think that just about says it all for the scene and I am sure everyone would agree that seeing Mahadev again in his full.

Chalo main chalti hoon, next week same time!

So we have to have the Mahadev Moment in the second week na?

Mahadev Moment of the Week (2)

By

Srushti

👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏

Oh it has to be the moment when, after he trashes Changu Mangu and Tingu...And looks back towards the unconcious Parvati...and the way he walks towards her...in utter daze and grief...all the while having flashbacks of chhoti Parvati playing with Damru and announcing to the world that Mahadev is her husband...and the grown up Parvati and her devotion and dedication..their first meet and the later situations...her firm belief and unwaivering faith on him..

He sits next to her on hunches and puts his hand on her forehead and asks for forgiveness...that he was late...he gives her a promise by taking her hand in his ..that he will accept her...

Hi everyone - hope you have had great week with lots of good days and not too many troubles!

Until then, have a wonderful week and I hope you will all be blessed with lot of happiness!

Second Week

Hi, again all DKDMians! Hope you have had great week and, if you are in India, hope you are not under too much water!

I think I have the easiest job this week because I am dealing only with scripture and hence am not required to comment on fashion. Because if I were writing any other section of this newsletter, the very first thing I would just have to say this week is...what is going on with these costumes?! Especially our poor Taki - here we have very handsome asur who has unaccountably been turned into some sort of demented doctor, compete with headband! And then what with Hemavant and Naagraj and Shivji-as-prince all sharing same wardrobe closet and with Mena's Sharmila Tagore-types headwear - I don't know...it seems like wardrobe department is having big party in the costume warehouse!

So I feel lucky to be able to just write about...writing!

Actually, in this area it is now getting interesting. The bare bones of this part of the story are known to all, and all the purans have this content: that Parvati, in order to become worthy of Shivji, does very very hard tapasya - in some versions for years and years. She subsists first on nothing but fruits, leaves, water, and air. Then she leaves off fruits. Then leaves. (Hence one of her names "Aparna", which translates to "no leaves") Then water, and then, at the last, she withdraws her breath and subsists on nothing. By this time, every living thing in the universe is affected by the severity of her tapasya and the gods are so desperate for Shivji to accept her.

But one thing the scriptures cannot tell us is...what does she feel? What does she say? What is happening in her day-to-day life during this point. It is written that her family is worrying about her, and that, even as her tapasya progresses, Shivji maintains his stubborn samadhi and refuses to acknowledge her efforts. These bits about the prince and the young man by the water, these are not in the scriptures, nor, btw, is Nandi's constant weeping and attyachar, which we get so much of on the telly! (Please CV's! New dialogues! The actor playing Nandi is great but he only gets same scene over and over.) And Tarkasur's latest plan to have (okay...stay with me yaaron...) Naagraj (strangely misnamed Kadru) go to Hemvant to ask for Parvati's hand in marriage for his son who will really in actuality be Vidyunmali, Tarkasur's son, so that Parvati, who is Adishakti, would be Tarkasur's bahu...AAAIII...mujhe bachao koi! This. is. not. in. the. purans. As soon as I was seeing this I was only thinking, what is wrong with this Asurraj that he thinks his son will marry Adishakti who himself has called as Mataji. Kya aprad hai na? This just goes to show what happens when guru Shukracharya is on holiday and is not there to yell, "TARKASUR!"

The lovely scenes of Parvati bringing her kanwar to Manosarovar and dipping the kalash in he water, then losing the water over and over until she understands her mistakes...this too is not part of scripture. It actually would not truly make sense from the puranic point of view, as she does not approach Kailash at all in the scriptures until she is Shivji's wife. But the CV's have shown interesting twist with her wanting to correct the failings of her previous lifetime, and I really think it was beautiful scene. What did you all think?

Now we are all eager to see Mahaepi and how it will all being to work out. In the scripture, of course, this all takes MUCH longer time...Parvati is essentially working out the karmas of many lifetimes in order to regain her understanding of who she really is. But in tellyland this would take too many lifetimes to show! So it must be made shorter...and it will be beautiful to see, hai na? So enjoy, everyone! I hope it will be a great ME and see you next time here in the NL!

Now chalo..it is time to gain some knowledge🤓

So please welcome

SHIVA DEMAND PARVATI AS HIS CONSORT
Parvati, after successfully accomplishing her penance came back to her home. Everybody was happy at her arrival.
After sometime Himalaya went out to take his bath in the river Ganges. Meanwhile lord Shiva arrived in his appearance of Nataraj and started dancing in front of Parvati's mother - Maina. She was so pleased by his dance that she wanted to present jewels to him in appreciation, but Shiva refused to take them. He expressed his desire to marry Parvati, which made Maina furious.
In the meantime, Himalaya arrived and she informed him what Shiva had said. He became angry too and ordered his attendants to drive away Nataraj (Shiva) from that place. Shiva then showed his divine appearance due to which Himalaya had the vision of Lord Vishnu and Parvati sitting by the side of lord Shiva in him. Himalaya was very surprised.
Lord Shiva again demanded Parvati to be made as his consort, but Himalaya in his ignorance again refused it. Nataraj then returned back to his abode.
After Shiva went back, Himalaya had a feeling that perhaps it was lord Shiva himself, who had arrived in the appearance of Nararaj. He realized what a grave blunder had been committed. Because of their guilt consciousness, both Maina and Himalaya felt the germination of devotion in their heart.

SHIVA'S DELUSIONARY POWER

Indra and the other deities became afraid when they saw both Himalaya and Maina having deep devotion towards lord Shiva. They apprehended that if Himalaya happily agrees to marry Parvati with Shiva, then he would no longer live on the earth- He would attain salvation. His departure would make the earth devoid of jewels and other kinds of wealth.
To prevent this from happening, they went to Brihaspati and requested him to influence Himalayas mind by condemning Shiva. But Brihaspati refused to comply.
The deities then went to lord Brahma and made the same request. Brahma refused to meet their demand.
Now the deities went to lord Shiva and requested him not to marry Parvati as it would make the earth devoid of all kinds of wealth. Lord Shiva feeling pity agreed to help them.
Lord Shiva went to Himalaya in the guise of a hermit and started cursing himself (Shiva). Maina was deeply influenced by the hermits word and decided not to marry Parvati with Shiva. She also threatened to give up her life along with Parvati. If Parvati was married with Shiva against her wish.

SHIVA INSTRUCTS SAPTARISHIS TO CONVINCE MAINA & HIMALAYA

Lord Shiva summoned the Saptarishis and instructed them to convince Maina and Himalaya to marry Parvati with him, so that Tarakasur could be killed. He feared that his actions would have created many misconceptions in their minds.
The Saptarishis went to Himalaya and tried to make him understand so that Tarakasur could be killed. He feared that his actions would have created many misconceptions in their minds.
The Saptarishis went to Himalaya and tried to make him understand that there was not any other way out than marrying Parvati with Shiva. They also warned both Himalaya and Maina if they did not give their conscent to marry Parvati with Shiva, then she would be forcibly abducted by him (Shiva), causing death and destruction to their whole clan. The Saptarishis then narrated the following story-

ANARANYA - THE KING
There was a king named Anaranya, who belonged to the lineage of fourteenth Manu-Indrasavarni. He was a great devotee of lord Shiva. He had five queens from whom one hundred sons and a very beautiful daughter named Padma were born.
When Padma grew up, the king started looking for a suitable match. One day while Padma was taking her bath in the Bhadra river, sage Pippalada arrived there. He became enchanted by Padma's beauty.
After gathering informations about her from the people, he went to king Anaranya and expressed his wish to marry Padma. He threatened him of dire consequences if she was not married to her.
Anaranya became frightened and gave his daughter to him. Sage pippalada happily went away accompanied by Padma. But both the king and the queen went to the forest because of the sorrow of giving their young daughter to an old sage. The queen died because of her grief. The king, because of his deep devotion towards Shiva attained to the abode of Shiva.

PADMA AND PIPPALAD
On the request of Himalayas, Sage Vashishth who was one of the Saptarishis narrated the story of Padma the princess and sage Pippalad-
"At the time of his marriage sage Pippalad was old and weak, but still Padma devotely performed the duties of a faithful wife.
To test her faithfulness towards her husband, Dharmaraj arrived at the bank of that river where Padma was taking her bath. He was in the guise of a young and handsome prince. He coaxed Padma to leave behind her 'old husband' and come along with him. Padma became furious and cursed him. Dharmaraj became very pleased and revealed his true identity. He also asked as to how the effects of her curse could be nullified.
Padma told her that his sins would result in having four legs during the era of Satya, but they reduced to three during the era of treta, which would again reduced to two legs during the era of Dwapar and ultimately he would have only one leg during the era of Kali. Padma also told her that even his single leg would disappear during the ending phase of Kali. "This would apropriately act as an atonement for your sins." - said Padma.
Dharmaraj blessed her by saying that she would have ten sons and also that her husband would possess youth and long life for eternity.
After listening to this story. Himalaya agreed to marry Parvati with Shiva. The Saptarishis then went back to lord Shiva and gave the good news to him.

HIMALAYA SEND LAGNA-PATRIKA

Himalaya then requested sage Garga to prepare a beautiful Lagna-Patrikas which were then sent to his near and dear ones. He then requested Vishwakarma to construct a beautiful 'mandap' for the marriage, which was constructed by him in a very short time.

LORD SHIVA INVITES THE DEITIES

Lord Shiva invited all of his Ganas to the marriage ceremony. He also instructed sage Narada to intimate all the deities, sages and the celestial entities.
After getting the invitation from Shiva everybody started making preparations to be a part of Shiva's marriage-procession. The seven mothers- Brahmi, Maheshwari, Kaumari, Vaishnavi, Varahi, Aindri and Chamunda dressed him up beautifully Shiva then performed all the necessary Karmas to pacify the planet. At last this wonderful marriage-procession of Shiva proceeded towards the in-laws house.

LORD SHIVA'S MARRIAGE PROCESSION

Shiva proceeded with his marriage procession with his 'Ganas' and deities like Vishnu who were boarded on their vehicles. Even Narad and Lord Brahma were present in his (Shiva's) marriage procession.
First of all, Shiva sent Narada to Himalaya's house to inform him about their (marriage procession) arrival. Himalaya sent his son-Mainak to receive them.

SHIVA DIVINE PLAYS

When Maina saw that the marriage procession was coming she curiously told Narad about her desire to see her son in law.
Shiva understood the arrongance which her desire contained. He wanted to teach her a lesson. He sent all the deities one by one. Maina mistook each one of them to be Shiva, but was later informed by Narada that in fact they were not Shiva but the attendants of Shiva.
Maina was very delighted and wondered how handsome the master (Shiva) must be, if the attendants were so handsome. Right then Shiva arrived with his Ganas - His body coated with ashes on it. His Ganas too were looking ferocious. Maina could not bear this horrible sight and lost her consciousness.

MAINA'S WAIL

The maid servants arrived instantaneously and helped Maina to regain her consciousness. She started crying and cursing everybody. She thought was responsible for her daughter's marriage with Shiva. Nobody was spared- Narad, the Saptarishis and even her own sons. She even admonished Parvati by saying.
"Did you do severe penance to get such a horrible husband like this (Shiva)?"
Lord Brahma and Narad tried to console and convince her, but it was of no avail. When Himalaya tried to intervene, he was soundly rebuked. Maina threatened him that if this marriage took place then it would be the last day of her life.
At last lord Vishnu arrived and tried to pacify her anger by saying that her anger was baseless as she had not seen the real appearance of Shiva, which bestows benediction. Lord Vishnu and Narad then eulogised Shiva who on being pleased showed his most enchanting beauty.
Maina now became fully satisfied. Himalaya too felt proud of her daughter's good fortune. At last Shiva entered the Mandap (canopy) where marriage ceremony was going to be organised. He saw Parvati sitting there. Both of them were very delighted to see each other.

HIMALAYA BESTOWS PARVATI TO SHIVA

After the marriage ceremony was over, Sage Garg helped Himalaya in performing the rite of Kanyadan, amidst the chantings of vedic mantras. The women's were singing auspicious songs. Himalaya presented large quantities of dowry to Shiva. Parvati's companions were engaged with Shiva in jocular and humorous conversation.

SHIVA BRINGS BACK KAMADEVA ALIVE

Rati- the wife of Kamadeva, seeing the moment opportune, arrived and requested Shiva to bring back her dead husband back to life. Her wailings made the other goddesses very sympathetic towards her. They too requested Shiva to make her dead husband back to life.
Feeling pity on her condition. Shiva brought back Kamadeva back to life from the ashes which Rati had given to him. On seeing her husband alive, Rati's heart was filled up with extreme joy. Both of them eulogised lord Shiva and expressed their gratitude.
After the marriage ceremony was over the marriage-processionist sought the permission of Himalaya to make a move, but he requested them to remain there for some more days.

SHIVA'S DEPARTURE

Shiva remained at his in-laws house for many days. One day he sought the permission of Himalaya to go back. Everybody became sad at the prospect of Shiva's departure. Especially Maina who was very saddened by this news. At last it was time for Shiva to depart for Kailash, accompanied by Parvati.
