Once again just two mini scenes of Gohem amongst the festivities of Maha Shivaratri.
Earlier he had sought her through the sea of guests in his home with the help of Jigar. He felt like a stranger in his own home until his eyes set on her, putting him in a state of equilibrium.
It is intriguing when on such an auspicious night of Maha Shivaratri, the night when Shiva performed the dance of primordial creation, preservation and destruction Parvati complemented him by calming him down with her soft glances, similarly Ahem helped his wife to light a lamp whilst she comforted him and brought relief to his being.
He watched her attempt several times to light the match and thought his assistance was required. His heart was letting him touch her shoulder to get her attention but he declined thinking of the presence of all the guests. Instead he stood next to her and called out her name and forcefully offered his assistance. The symbolism of lighting the lamp was so special that whilst its meaning is lead us from darkness into light, it implied that from here on he will be one with her and will ensure in the true sense of the words work on being her Saathiya. Thereafter he looked on at her to confirm this.
Later after the puja her closeness, her gentle touch and her compromising position comforted him immensely as she blew away something that was irritating his eye. He was mesmerised by her beauty, he was enveloped by her fragrance, he was electrified by her gentle touch, he was encapsulated by her aura. Ahem felt as though he was embraced by his wife.
He has enabled her to become more comfortable in his presence to the point where these two moments today continue to show us his willingness to get closer to her and now him allowing her and encouraging her to get closer to him.
