I have been feeling this for a long time and the fact is I love this show now. The visuals are arresting and the casting is perfect.

Yet I have noticed that there is always some inconsistency regarding the content of the show.

The latest example being the episode where Lord Shiva says to Ma Parvati that he knows all that she wants since he lives in her heart. They are inseparable and that they are Ardhnarishwar. That itself means that simply put they are life partners/soul mates and have equal rights over each other.

That is how I too feel God must be.

Today's episode made me think twice about what these guys want to show. It is obvious that they want to please all of India and have sourced stories from different parts of India. Now when they do this I just wish they would keep to how they characterized both Lord Shiv and Ma Parvati.

Tantra gyan emanates from Ma Shakti...here they say it is not so. OK agreed.

Then they say that Ma Parvati falls asleep. Really!!! After all the tap she did and achieved her true form that of Adi Shakti. And I find it hard to believe that Adi Shakti fell asleep on account of being tired.

I will let go of this objection too, since we have to weave stories for entertaining people.

But I am stumped when they show that Mahadev can curse Parvati. It is a story...not a historically established fact and it sends a real bad message to society that if Mahadev can curse and punish Ma Parvati then common people who consider them as ideals should not refrain from doing the same.

The sequence where they show Mahadev and Parvati outside the mundmala cave and Mahadev telling off Mata Parvati for not having obeyed his order. How can Lord Shiva order around Ma Shakti? How is that for the Ardh narishwar concept? How is Ma Parvati his equal then?

Maa Kamakhya is a shakti of Shiva and she is a goddess of tantra. All tantric in this world devotee her. She gave him power of Tantra and meditation. She is Adhi Vidhya and Mahashakti. Her temple is situated in Assam.Maa Kamakhya, temple is situated on Nilachal Hill in Guwahati, which is away from eight km west of the city. This temple honour the Mother Goddess Kamakhya, the essence of female energy. It is one of the 108 Shakti Peethas of Maa Aadishakti.

Taken from the internet and talks about the importance of Ma Adi Shakti.

Another bit from Wikipedia-

Shakti (Devanagari: ?????; from Sanskrit shak, "to be able"), meaning sacred force or empowerment, is the primordial cosmic energy and represents the dynamic forces that are thought to move through the entire universe in Hinduism.^[1] Shakti is the concept, or personification, of divine feminine creative power, sometimes referred to as 'The Great Divine Mother' in Hinduism. On the earthly plane, Shakti most actively manifests through female embodiment and creativity/fertility, though it is also present in males in its potential, unmanifest form.^[2]

Not only is the Shakti responsible for creation, it is also the agent of all change. Shakti is cosmic existence as well as liberation, its most significant form being theKundalini Shakti,^[3] a mysterious psychospiritual force.^[4] Shakti exists in a state of svatantrya, dependence on no-one, being interdependent with the entire universe.

In Shaktism, Shakti is worshipped as the Supreme Being. However, in other Hindu traditions of Shaivism and Vaishnavism, Shakti embodies the active feminine energy Prakriti of Purusha, who is Vishnu in Vaishnavism or Shiva in Shaivism. Vishnu's female counterpart is called Lakshmi, with Parvati being the female half of Shiva.

There has been many inconsistancies since Sati's phase. She had appeared in 10 Mahaviya form & had explained Shivji, what does each of her form represent in detail & asked him to make people aware of this Aagamas. Paravti is her reincarnation, she is aware of many things in Tantra. What they showed today, Shivji starting with Bhairav Tantra because he was called Mahabhairav by Kalbhairav. One of the 10 Mahavidyas is Tripurbhairavi. Each of the Mahavidyas have their Shiv. So why teach something which she is already aware of?

Their research is bad in this aspect.

Yes there are many inconsistencies. They are continuously showin Parvati as mare human and with powers. So what is the use of all that tapas? How can shanti sleep of that way. How can shiva curse Parvati..

the inconsistencies arise because they try to show too many versions or interpretations of the story at once...

for eg for Sati-they interpreted her as a human through out her duration in the show,and then show her as a Goddess...

same with Parvati-they show her to have gained her entire powers and yet the show her being extra curious,crying and now this shraap thing...

considering they always showed Parvati so enlightened,specially after doing such hard Tapasya her feeling tired is hard to digest...

it may be given in the stories yes...but still its strange

Exactly, Parvati has divya drishti and is as trikaal darshi as Mahadev

So why are they showing her like a powerless woman?

Only explanation is that ita part of a leela and she fell asleap purposly to execute it

@nandini-maybe...[:S]...i guess they wanted to finish all the tracks that showed Parvati slightly human before the Mahakaali track...i hope atleast after that they dont show that kind of stuff!

this is for the viewers who view DKDM as any other Saas Bahu nonsense., There are very few questioning the story.
Mahadev cursing parvati is a kind of masala that the public is looking for. [the male dominant society]
We can fume and fume some more.. but in the coming episodes DKDM is going twist every story possible. Unless there is a strong enough protest 🤔
