I couldn't help but make a post on this part. When the gore was happening outside the people who were supposed to be protectors were all lost. Lost with a dying girl, they felt because she moved her fingers it was worth celebration.
Though my blood boiled at the scene one thing I have to give to the CVs for that scene. The symbolism that was bought out with entire Maya.
Maya or illusion is what binds us. Similarly Maya the girl bought Rudra to the bindings. Rudra was a boy with no bindings. He was attached to Maimui but he was not a lost young man. He was well bought by her with the pechaan of sahi and galat.
But once Maya comes everything changes. Even Maimui founds her alluring. She gives her son's hand to Maya while dying in other words she hands him over to the illusion than the real world.
And Maya takes him to Kumbh from where he is drawn more and more towards illusion. First with Dadi. In Dadi's laad pyaar he refuses to see the picture his dad is trying to tell him. He loves Maya and a feeling of calmness than an urgency of duty.
it is said that once in the binding of Maya no one wants to come out. Simialrly when Maya tries to go from his life , he doesn't want her to go. He goes behind her, professes his love and tells her without her he is nothing. Maya draws him more and more towards her. His bindings increase when she brings him his long lost mother. The illusion of happy family becomes complete for him
Even when Maya is dying or the first hit is actually happening to the illusion he is holding on to the illusion or Maya asking it not to go. And Maya telling she will not leave him till he asks her to go was like illusion knows once it has a person, it is like having that person in your control once and for all.
To escape reality he paints beautiful picture and even when illusion gasps for last breath Homa is done to keep it alive.
When the world crumbles, prince charming is with his Maya, lost in illusion till the harsh reality of his wounded friend wakes him up.
Yes far too late in the game, far too loses which could have been prevented if he had looked at the larger picture than Maya.
Is Maya needed. Yes she is needed. But a person should not be in Maya's or illusion's control instead he should be able to create illusion for larger good or in other words should have Maya in his control.

Nice post shruthi.
The Maya never comes alone. She has her friends like Ignorance, Greed, Desire, Passion, Attachment, to help in the mission.
All those who were dancing felt happy at the hope of Maya being able to hear them. All are attached to her.
Rudra's attachment, passion for her doesn't let him see what's happening outside their tent. He is so lost & engrossed in her.
His attachment is for his dadi, mother too. Feels happy being with them. When he told Shiva, can't they live happily as a family, shows his greed to hold on to the happiness he's got after many years.
The Maya has trapped him now. Earlier with Maimui he used to be detached generally & she used to take care of him.
Maya came as a new force ready to show him a different World, he was unattached to. There is nothing wrong in falling in love, wanting to marry her. It's a normal way of life. But not wanting to accept his responsibality as a Rakshak creates a great imbalance. Had he understood his role, he would have been alert, not so blind like not getting any vision of his near & dear one's are getting killed. He failed here.
The Maya is definately needed in life with being aware & active of one's duty & responsibality, a proper balance can be maintained. Imbalance creates pain, sorrow, hurt. That many follow once he sees the loss.
Loss mainly leads one to sit & examine why, how the events had occured. Then then search of guidance, Guru begins.

Yes Meena love is needed and true love I believe can never be weakness, it can only be strength. If love is said to be weakness I would say beware it is not love, it can be desire, obsession anything but not love.
Love doesn't bind you, it liberates you.

@siji it is not about blood relations, it is about lost in something completely unaware of your surroundings. No interest in anything apart from Maya. No interest in even understanding what exactly happened to her. What type of help she needs. Comon someone is in coma. Will you go to get medical help or talk nonsensical love to her. That was what I was telling.

True Shruti, this I have been telling since the day she was poisoned. He never tried to find out what happened and how to help, instead he kept doing things to fulfill her last wishes etc. he is just happy in his world of himself and Maya and talking her back to life. Inspite of Shiva trying to talk to him about his Rakshak role, he just refused to even think about it. Nature cannot wait forever for him to come around and this is the consequence he has to face now. Everything in life must be done in its limits. Too much indulgence in one thing and neglecting the other will bring about imbalance and nature finds its ways to make you realise.

Hello Shruti! You have beautifully described about Maya and her mayajaal in your post . Everyone of the garuds was lost in Maya or doing something for her. Just could not see them dancing away in ignorance oblivious to everything else. While outside everyone are being brutally murdered. They faulted Shiva that due to him his family suffered then what is to be said for their brutal murders.

You are right people in the real world too are lost in maya forgetting core reality their purpose in life till niyati decides enough is enough and wakes you up with harsh reminders. Rudra too has been reminded that his pupose in life is not playing happy homes but something of much higher dimensions. The price for his ignorance has been very high, his family murdered and the only able guide his father kidnapped.

@appukrish I was fine with his decision to marry Maya or want to do things to fulfill her last wish. In a way he was forcing her to live, he was forcing her to face life, forcing her to fight. Love and faith was fine but the fact is that he forgot science. He doesn't think what is the use of being alive the way she is, tapping fingers. Yes she is fighting for life so as a husband also should he sit there looking at her or aid her fight by trying to give her medical help. So that she can stand up, walk, talk and become his strength than his weakness.
@kitsin look even for small time the gyaani Shiva was also lost in Maya and her plight than look at the larger picture. He too went to do Mritunjaya Homa for his DIL. At a wrong point his emotions as a father overtook, his emotions as a Rakshak. Yes he had no choice. His son he knew wont do anything if something happens to Maya. Maya placed him also in deep dilemma and emotionally vulnerable. And yes when the Garuds were emotionally vulnerable the Nags overtook them.
One more thing I had mentioned. Crimes does not happen because of action of 1% of people, it happens because of the inaction of 99% of people. We are always told. Don't question, don't respond just look at your life and family and don't bother about other things. But can we alienate ourselves from society. We think we are safe, but in reality the same crimes we read and ignore in newspaper can come knocking at us for our ignorance.
