You have no idea..
We had some discussions earlier, about how everything from Apparition to Lord Voldemort is from the Puranas and Itihasas in the Current Track Discussion Thread.

O....I definitely dint have any idea about that..up until now, I thought I was the only one drawing up such comparisons!😕.. such ignorance..😆

Mahadev himself said yesterday tht blinded by his excessive love for his daughter Banasur will ignore usha's mistakes as well..

so chill sir.. DKDM is not that bad.. sometimes different interpretations r shown and not all the time wat we expect happens..

no doubt the CVs deviate.. but the real story always looms in the periphery

@ Bold... but isn't that what makes it all the more frustrating?.. like for instance,from an adi shakti bhakt's perspective I can point out few examples - Bhramari Devi and Annapurna ( let's just leave out the examples where they dint even bother to complete a track i. e. mysterious disappearance of shumbh nishumbh or even the instances where they went overboard with parvati's naive portrayal wherein she straight away refuses to fight the demons for the fear of stepping on her husband)...

Bhramari Devi's legend is actually one of the most beautiful one..adi shakti had to take this beautiful form to finish off arunasur, however, it is actually a benevolent form of Devi.. but just to pave way for the next Ayyappa track( n to show mahadev in good light), the makers distorted the story terribly..

Annapurna wasn't done any justice either..they did show prasad distribution n Shiva taking prasad from Devi but again they left out the most part of the legend (again to show Shiva in a good light).. in the original story , however, Shiva n Parvati were once discussing worldly matters ( they do this often).. Shiva being a siddha yogi berates the importance of materialistic things in life, at this statement parvati gets annoyed since she ( n Lakshmi) is a goddess of all things material , fertility n marital prosperity... in order to teach mahadev a lesson in importance of materialistic things in life she disappears..in the absence of the goddess, everything started turning upside down, hunger n poverty wrecked havoc on gods n mankind alike.. so everybody including Shiva prayed for the goddess's mercy..parvati hears the prayers n is overwhelmed with love n mercy for her children since she is after all jagat janani..Devi finally appears as goddess Annapurna blesses everyone with food , wealth, happiness n peace..Shiva realizes his mistake n begs for food/prasad from Annapurna.. n everybody is happy!👏

U c , that's what makes it even more unsatisfying experience that they always seem to 'loom in the periphery' without doing any justice to the basic legends.. the show is called 'Devon ke Dev Mahadev'.. but they seem to take it too literally.. y can't they just b true to the stories..but on second thoughts, it somehow makes sense..bcoz even as per my brief experience in forums, I found out that people won't accept such stories..I brought up several well known aspects of Shiva on a different thread n the reaction to it was utter disbelief!.. so in a way, it makes sense that dkdm has to cook up their own versions..bcoz ironically it seems(or at least dkdm seems to think) that Indian audiences r not mature enough to understand n accept several aspects of their own religion n culture!

One of the reasons that I fail to connect with vaishnavism is the nature of the supreme deity in this sect of Hinduism.. while Vishnu is the preserver n richest god (no surprises there, Lakshmi is his other half) in Hinduism , the clever tactics used by Vishnu/Krishna for the greater good and the partiality or bias towards devas makes it difficult for me to adore the god like I adore shiv n shakti..the strong sense of justice that prevails in shiv shakti somehow is absent in vaishnavism..in fact all the major cast superiority n inferiority in Hinduism has its roots in vaishnavism..in Kerala, such kind of cast systems r still very much in practice..

Hm.. nature of the supreme deity.. why don't you discuss this in the

Mythological Masti

Forum?

Not as whether Shiva is great or Vishnu is great. Start the topic as, why does Vishnu show partiality, or something like that.

I will answer you there.😆

O there is 'mythological masti' forum too!😆😃.. this place keeps getting interesting n interesting!.. as for Vishnu's partiality I m sure there r valid reasons which all have roots in the 'greater good'.. as a god of preservation Vishnu looks after the balance of good n evil in the world in such a way that it is ensured that evilness doesn't get a chance to ruin the balance..in reality, its actually a funny situation wherein Shiva n Bhrahma keep on creating problems by giving boons to asuras n Vishnu as a god of preservation has to deal with headaches of consequences of such boons..😆..thereby putting an end to it in different incarnations..

I wasn't trying to start a discussion of who is greater than who..merely pointed out the caste system that has its roots in Vaishnavism(eg. initial equation between Daksh n Shiva ) owing to the nature of its supreme god..it bothers me even more so, coz m from Kerala.. n such caste systems r still very much in practice in my home state..

But yes, I do have a question on Ram avatar though.. y is he known as maryada 'purushottum' Ram ! When in fact what he did with his wife was quite despicable n a little unmanly too..I mean instead of standing by his chaste wife like a husband should , he gave in to societal pressures..😡

The caste may have a root from hinduism in beingining or even in Vaishnavism. But Caste System bias were abolished by Majority of all sect Vaishanvism but still exist there are many villages today but because there because people in india don't actually read religouly doctrines. Vaishnavisim was among first to abolish Caste System Bias it and also look at stories Ramayna and Lord Krishna life stories. Read the Bhagavd Gita, and if believe what Gandhji said well we just following the principles of the Rudra Vaishanavism Fait, he was quite religous and he used sing bhajan "Vaishnava jana to" all the time. In the Rudra Vasihnav faith caste system dosen't exist.

In the Swami Narayana that same true. Please other people from other sects in pleas confirm if my statement is acturate but other sects.
