Devon Ke Dev Mahadev
20th-July-2012 : 'Shiva in Natraj avtar'
Shiva as Natykar reaches Himvan's palace along with his fellow artists-which included Narad rishi and Nandi.
Nandi (who also is in the disguise of an artist ) introduces Shiva's (Nat) talent in the front of Menavati n Parvathi.
Narad rishi informs that Nat is nonpareil when it comes to performing Vishnuji's Dashaavtar roopas.
Menavati on hearing Natykar's praise wishes to see his performance first and orders Jaya n Vijaya to organize the event at Nrityshalaa (Dance hall). Parvathi tells her mother that she would do all the arrangements for event.
Shiva is surprised to see this.
Parvathi in her mind "be it off stage,I'd get the privilege of taking part in this event.Its a primary duty of a wife to get involved in things pertaining to her husband."
"Excellent devi,the role of the artists is as important as the organizers...only such participation's completes the creation of higher levels. " Shiva as Natykar says focusing on Parvathi..it was as if he read her mind...leaving a blushing Parvathi.
The Nrity starts:
With Shiva in Sri Hari Vishnu's posture on the Seeshnag (serpent)
They start on dancing on the tala (something like meter music from western dance pov)
Natykar portrays various incarnations of Vishnuji starting from ...
Matsyvtar (Fish)- Satya yug- Sri Hari Vishnu took the form of a Fish at the time of pralay and saved the various species,animals etc and took them to a safer place...making Seeshnag as the rope ,he saved the living beings and also the vedas from getting into the hands of the asuras.
Kurmavtar (Tortoise)-Satya yug- At the time of sagarmanthan (churning the ocean) when devas and asuras churned the ocean in order to acquire the nectar of immortality- they took the help of Mandrachal (highest mountain) as the churning rod,but when it couldn't bear the weight n started to shrink..Lord Vishnu took the form of a Tortoise and bore the weight of the mountain.
Varahavtar (boar) - Satya yug-When a demon named Hiranyaksh tried to take away the mother earth to the paatallok Sri hari took the incarnation of a boar and slayed the demon ,carried the earth back with his tusks to its original place.
Narsimhaavtar (Half human-half lion) -Satya yug- Evil Hirnyakashyap the elder brother of Hiranyaksh mde Lord Vishnu as his enemy and always challenged him..Prahalad wwho was Hiranykashyap's son was a great Vishnu devote -who was always tortured by his father for his unconditional devotion of his enemy Vishnu.
Then the father ordered his son to show him where Vishnu is...on that point Vishnu appeared from the pillar in his fearsome manifestation as lord Narsimha and teared Hiranyakashyap off.
Vamanavtar (dwarf) - Treta yug-Tribhuvanpati- king Bali who was intoxicated by maya of riches power,then Lord Vishnu took the form of Vamana -a dwarf and went to him and asked for a land of just 3 steps...Bali agreed on this , but when the Vaman took his first step he covered the whole area of earth..then he covered the heavens in his second stride and there was no place left for him to take his third step...then king Bali realized that this was non other than Vishnu himself and he requested Vaman to keep his third step on his(Bali's) head.Which humbled King Bali.
Parshuramaavtar (Rama with an axe in his hand)- Treta yug- When the Kshetriyas misused their powers and troubled the ordinary people..Vishnu took the form of Parshurama -Brhma-Kshetriya.He fought for justice.
Ramaavtra (Lord Rama) - In Treta yug Lord Vishnu took the incarnation of a king - Rama,who by his speech,mind and karm (deeds) only did what was righteous!
Everyone seems to enjoy themselves watching this performance..
(Dnt know what they did of the middle two avtars😕)
Krishn avtar- In Dwapar yug,Lord Vishnu took the incarnation of an ordinary yadava boy.who is know for mastering solah kalaye ie 16 degrees of grace ,holding Sudarshan Chakra in his hands ..saves the saints from the wicked.
He gave the precious gift of knowledge n wisdom in the form of Geeta dhayn to the world.
Kalki avtar- By the end of Kalyug,Lord Vishnu is going to take the incarnation of Kalki -who with sword in his hands riding a horse will slay the evil one's and restore the purity n Dharma back to the world.
Brining a bright new morning with peace n orderliness.
They end up the dance with the last avtar of Vishnuji ie .,Kalki avtar
(Dnt worry they have cleared our doubts in the next scene..justifying the above performance.)
Sri Vishnu at Vaykunth,telepathically conveying his pleasure to Shiva..who has performed the avtars of him..even before the occurrence of the events in his reincarnations .
Menavati and Parvathi are very pleased by Natyakar's performance and Menavati offers him gifts in his honor for entertaining them by his unparalleled talent ...
Natyakar (Mahadev) humbly refuses her offer saying " I have not come here for these valuable things Maharani, I just cant accept them."
"I understand,probably you expect higher remuneration,ok fine,you decide the price for your remuneration.What ever you ask will be given to you. " Menavati says.
Parvathi gleefully smiles at this..
Natyakar asks her to reconsider her decision..warning her that may be the remuneration he expects be invaluable.
Menavati asks him to ask for anything..
Natyakar (Shiva) cleverly "Only if you vow (promise) to give me whatever I ask for. "
Menavati gives him her word..little does she know what was stored in for her.
At the same moment Himvan arrives at the dance hall...
Natykar utters "I want to marry your daughter."
This left Himvan n Menavati shocked..where as Parvathi's face was brightened up with a million lights n a content smile.
Menavati asks the Natykar to stay in his limits...and bashes him saying that he has insulted them by showing his lessened act.
Natykar replies "Please fulfill the vow you just gave me Maharani..give me Paravthi. "
Mena freaks out and asks him to leave the place at once...when she doesnt find her words effecting the natykar..she calls out the security to throw them out of the palace..
Seeing this,Nandi requests them to stop and apologies to Menavati..then they leave the place.
Nritykar says "I just asked for the remuneration for my performance,but now,I am being insulted and thrown out of this place."
On their way to the door they see HImvan..who sees the same garland appearing on the natykar's neck which he offered to Lord Vishnu... he is perplexed to discover this...and is certain that this Nat is not an ordinary guy.
Parvathi runs after Mahadev as she feels bad as Shiva was insulted...but doesn't find him out at the garden...then a voice breaks her train of thoughts..
"Parvathi"
It was Mahadev in his original form.
Parvathi asks"On my request you have very well put the proposal for marriage ,but why in this roop ie as Nat avtar ? My mother would never give my hand into some ordinary artists hands.If you had come in youur Shiv roop she would never say No!"
Shiva smiles at this...
Shiva explains "Dignity would never allow me to asks anything from anybody.that's the reason why I took Nritykar roop,and your mother has promised me,she will very soon fulfill her promise. "
Parvathi replies"I have come to know Maadev,I would never make you do anything which would harm your dignity.You have accepted n considered my suggestion that is more than anything for me.And I will inveigle her to fulfill her promise..and when she comes to know the real form of you,she would give her consent for this alliance."
Shiav reasons "Even after that ,what if she disagrees?"
Parvathi asserts that nothing of that sort would happen...and very soon he would get the news of her parents approval for this marriage.
Himvan informs Menavai that "the Nat was none other than Mahadev,Lord Vishnu's garland has confirmed Mahadev's divinity's "
himvan asks her if she would accept this proposal..Menavati feels a little weird on ,the way how Mahadev kept that proposal,she finds it a little crude.
Himvan is in hot mood to see that The one who was destined to marry their daughter..the one for whom their daughter Parvathi did such rigorous penance ..the one who has come to ask their daughter's hand in marriage ,is today insulted by us!
Mena justifies that she was just being a protective mother.
Himvan decides that they should apologies to Mahdev for their behavior .
HImvan also tells "for any parent kanydan is the most sacred thing..and we are gonna make God as our Sons-In-Law..There wont be any question on our attaining Moksh "
Parvathi explains her parents that "Nat rupy Shiva has come here only to amuse them."
Menavati inquires that is the Natykar really Shiv?
Parvathi replies tat..it was him,she could make it out at the first glance...and that she has to gladden him my affirming to the marriage proposal .
They accept the proposal of their daughters marriage to Shiva..
(Har bol har har Mahadev song BG tune is played in the back...lovely moment)
This news reaches kailash ,where all the Bhhot, gans along with Nandi rejoice ...they dance ,make hell lot of masti hearing the news of Parvathi n Shiva's marriage.
Shiva asks them not to get overexcited as Parvathi would come to Kailash,Buut on the appropriate time.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Precap:
Vijaya n Jaya inform Parvathi that some Brhman has advised her father not to get his daughter married to Shiva.
This was a conspiracy by the devas n the Trimurti so that Himvan should turn a Shiv Virodhi...as he would instantly get moksh when Shiv n Parvathi marry...which is not that good for the surshti..as there wont be anyone to look after it after Himvan.

Have a nice weekend
