since Ages man has followed scriptures or fiction according to what appeals to their minds... and secondly when speak of Original Beliefs.. where is this originality..?? distorted scriptures to suit a sectarian ideology?? As for DKDM..i believe that it only reflects change in the societal mindset..for undoubtedly it has dealt with the stories in a way where it seeks to look beyond sectarian beliefs.. point out the importance and interdependency in a simpler form... and we must remember our "Original" history with all religious movements, where people questioned the "Original Beliefs" and they simplified their notions to the masses.
Of course i will not accord DKDM the status of a movement..but i wont deny that their version is more sorted out and definitely appealing to a certain section...
@ bold : That is extremely subjective .. its good that you can appreciate DKDM's cooked up versions..but u cant speak for others..what most people loved about DKDM was its marvellous Mahadev (Mohit ) & sort of technical aspect like BG n stuff (not to mention the romance of Shiv-Shakti,though again cooked up when original was even way better).. but if you ask people their opinion about DKDM's portrayal of our Gods & scriptures , its mostly negative..like i said before, the original stories had enough charm, beauty & mystic in them to captivate the audience..even in the current track , i dont see how DKDM portrayed Vishnu in a positive light , the only difference being , they chickened out of the real deal since there is a general perception that our victorianized Indian Mentality cant handle the raw deal..everything needs to be glossed over for us..but may be if they gave the audience a chance..🤔..however, i would still maintain that whatever DKDM is doing with our scriptures is more unsettling & obnoxious than the real Vishnu-Tulsi story..
As for the varying sectorian ideology, some people see it as inconsistent "truth" ,thereby questioning the truth..but i see it as the beauty of Hinduism..you see, i dont appreciate a lot of Vaishnava philosophy so i always have the option of choosing a god of my own choice & following it..only Hinduism allows it 😃..whoever we choose to worship , ultimately we are worshiping one single entity , one single god..that fact too has been explained in our scriptures😊..and as for which are the original scriptures, i believe that too is just a matter of systematically sorting out the authentic ones from the fake or exaggerated ones..
And as for DKDM CVs, they should have stayed loyal to the original stories..and if there happens to be more than one version of the story in our authentic scrptures , they could have stood by the versions in Shaiva or Shakta sector , since the show's focus is on Mahadev & then Shakti..but what is the point of bringing in a new DKDM version that is neither in Shaiva, Shakta or even Vaishanava versions??..😔..a "DKDM puran" ?..😕 🥱
