Hey all, thanks so much for the warm welcome! 🤗
I'm having a totally DIVINE time watching the series and writing my comments here gets me more involved and excited to watch it! Thanks for this place Janu! **muah**
Epi 48 starts with Kans and his 'mitr' (was it Banasur?) I like how they address each other as 'mitr', it's funny in a sarcastic way because to me a true friend is supposed to always lead you on the path of goodness only or at least try their very best to do so.
They're eating fruits but poor not Kans enjoying any of it because of his insecurities. I think that was a nice scene to include and a funny one to watch for me. Kans looks so excited when Banasur tells him of his undefeatable weapon! I was like "what a desperate fool!". Then Trinavarta is summoned …
😳 Let me just take a moment to say I laud Sagarji and his team for all the painstaking work they must have put in to do all those special effects and making them seem as realistic as possible without being too cheesy! That too in a time when there wasn't even all the technology available that is easily found nowadays.
The scene showing all the Gopis doing their daily chores and the background music were both serene!
The following sequences where Krishna kills Trinavarta, lands softly on the flowers and how happy everyone is to find him are nicely executed. The part where Janu mentioned about Yashoda Maiyya screaming and crying for him are not there in this vid...must have been edited out. 😕
Kans' 'mitr' (it is indeed Banasur) gives him very good advice. Again I notice how Kans is surrounded by intelligent people...all of whom are leading him slowly on the path to his end!
The beginning of epi 49 is very sweet with Devaki Ma thinking about Krishna, Vasudevji shushing her anxiously and Devaki Ma chanting Krishna's name. Then comes the lullaby "So Jaa Lalla So Jaa".This is the first time I'm hearing this song and it has become an instant favorite! How could it not? The lyrics perfectly showcase a mother's love and the melody is soft and calm, perfect for a lulaby. I love how Devaki Ma terms her Mamta as 'baawri' and infant Krishna's expressions are too precious! 😍 The small convo in between with Vasudevji is cute! I also liked the how the guards are shown looking at Devaki Mata, they were like "bechari'. Like Janu says, it shows that they too had sympathy for her but were helpless bcos of Kans. The entire sequence was very heart warming and touching. The small RadheKrishna convo in Golok is insightful and tells us in simple terms the value of Bhakti. For me, without Bhakti life would no be worth living at all!
Then comes the scene of Shivji on Kailash. 'Shriman Narayan' that Narad chants is very mellifluent! It's as if those simple words are laced with honey, and makes me just want to join him in roaming the skies and chanting away! 😳 This Shivji is my second all time favorite as compared to other mytho shows (Om Namah Shivay's SJS being my first). There's something so subtly soft and sweet about the way the character is played by the actor (sorry don't know his name). The discussion about Shivji and Shri Krishna being each other's devotees and each other's Lord at the same time is one I'm saving for another thread. It's a beautiful leela that fascinates me! 😃
Shivji going to Gokul is the end of this epi with the 'Ek Jogi Aayo Ri' song. Suresh Wadekar's voice is very surila in itself. I like how Shivji very cleverly evades going to Kaaki's house by telling the rule. 😆
Wow I wrote a lot! 😳 Sorry if I bored anyone!
