What an episode today. Sanjeevani track started with power and it ended with Power. Only difference this time was when first time the power used it was tantric power and second time the power used it was all encompassing love. Love the real power when you get it the right way nothing in the world can stop you.

Look at the way 2 men approached the decisive battle today. On one side we had Meghnadh who had lost his trust with his father. A mother who knew nothing could be done to him and a wife who was frightnened for his life. She was not even trusting her love towards him when she tries to stop him. And he is unwilling to trust his wife , her intuitions. Between her unadultered love for him and his father's selfish motives he chooses his father's selfish motives. To satisfy those selfish motives he goes to do pooja of a Goddess. Can the Goddess protect you when you have disobeyed your mother and didn't listen to your wife with good intentions. The man who disrespects the woman in his family for the trust of a selfish man understands the power of Prakriti, when Vanar Sena comes and make merry of his yagya place. I loved the way Hanuman extinguishes the fire with water. It was symbolic of ending the fire or life that is within Meghnadh. We live because oxygen burns and gives Carbon dioxide. We live because of our breathing. When breath is not there life is not there. Extinguishing fire symbolized extinguishing breath.

Coming to Laxman. What does he come with. Blessings of his elder brother, unadultered affection of his bhabi, support of vanar sena, trust of a mother and love of a wife. He stands there respecting Prakriti or woman in all forms. Love forms his biggest power and strength.

I loved the way Laxman dealt with Meghnadh. Destroy his focus. What a turnaround. Laxman who was slave of emotions wants to make Meghnadh today slave of emotions. Today emotion is slave to laxman. Once Meghnadh gets up and talks adharma, he gives a good tit for tat answer. When it is your turn to face adharma you talk about dharma. All adharmis do it when they get the taste of their own medicine. And then he says I will fight with you the way a warrior should fight. Alone. Come and fight with alone like a man. Then he takes Meghnadh's weapon. Asks Meghnadh to get another weapon.

That scene was superb. Meghnadh taking the trishul of Goddess and comes to attack Laxman. Instead of ducking the attack, Laxman jumps up and cut his head. That scene was simply superb. Laxman stands with Meghnadh's head in front of Goddess and Meghnadh falls facing away from Goddess. It showed the beautiful representation of one who doesn't respect Prakriti, away from Prakriti will fall and the one who respects her will stand as victor in front of her.

Another beautiful symbolism I observed was Vibhishan talking about the chariot that he will get if he completes the homa. Vijaya rath. If he fights on it no one can defeat him. Once again it ties with the way Laxman cuts Meghnadha's chariot in first battle bringing him down. Today however that task was done by Vanars.

Whenever you deal with Maya, never go without allies. How much ever valiant you are it is difficult to beat Maya alone. It is what happens with Abhi in Chakravyuha. Because the adharmi people want to win at any cost. They will do anything for it. So understand your power before going attacking the tantric power. Make love your greatest power. That is possible only when you act, when emotions are in your control.
