What a beautiful episode with much deeper symbolisms. So instead of typing in my smartphone I decided to take my laptop as I need to make a very long post today. First and foremost Maya's battle of head and heart. Her heart that loves Rudra but head that knows her reality her revenge and what it means to accept that love. It was very symbolic to see Maya asking those questions in front of Ganges, the river that washes away all sins. Telling she cant have Rudra with her blackened soul. But then its the river that washes away sins giving her a new chance and new light. Becoz she had believed in love once and she still has some piece of soul left. She can never be MJ who is heartless, ruthless, soulless. Preserving the soul is God's dharma so preserving her soul is dharma of the river that washes away all sins. So the river gave her back Rudra.
Now Rudra wow it was such beautiful and symbolic scene where the marriage took place. On one side there was Shiva in Yogic pose not attached to Maya or illusion or the one who cant be won with the sensory pleasures on the other side it was Parthasarathy Krishna leading the chariot of dharma chariot of arjuna. In the midst of it Rudra puts his color on Maya telling his love is going to be her limit. Interesting point Maya believes she brought Rudra the way she wants, but after putting the chunari he tells I have brought u till here, now whether to accept the light in form of his love is her choice. Maya relents bringing the fire and putting it in the havan kund and extending her hand. Rudra had told her once u will extend ur hand and today he made it possible with his actions. She extended the hands as the mantras followed. Now coming to mantras. First it was
Sarva mangala mangalye Shive sarvartha sadhike
Saranye trayambake gauri narayani namo stuthe
Yes when Maya brought the fire into the havankund and started taking the pheras with Rudra she has become his Gowri the Goddess that grants all the wishes as long as he keeps his promises and love her from the heart, power , glory, wealth and happiness is going to come his way through her. She is going to make him.
Second mantra
Mangalam bhagavn vishnum
Mangalam garudadwaja
Mangalam pundarikaksha
Mangalya tano hari
When Maya extends her hand, Rudra takes it and then comes in front, beautiful change of direction, she is following him, he sets the direction as narayan as Krishna to preserve life, to prevent mindless destruction, to change the course of war by tying her in the bandhan of his love. Taking her from darkness to light, taking her to sukoon. Then as long as he talks about life she allows him to walk in front, before he utters death she comes in front.
Now her vow, jab tak jaan hai tumhari pyaar ki ifasat karungi, aur marte waqt mera haath sirf tumhare haath mein hoga. For me it felt like Maya will die giving birth to their child. Being a mother, the motherhood that was denied to her, in sukoon with her hand in his. I strongly feel their child will be threatened by MJ and that can be final battle and she will fight to protect the baby and in the course of that dying herself. Becoz if the script has to come in a circle it has to revolve ard baby only.
