WU for 6th Aug, 2011

The episode starts with Shani saying that every person is born with a duty/responisibility which he has to fulfill & if he doesn't then it affects the world's life cycle, something like that. Shani says that Brahma created 11 sons to live the life of prajapati to reproduce kids & contribute to the word's life cycle but the 11^th son Narad refused to do so.

Narad is shown telling Brahma that he cannot live the life of a prajapati as he doesn't want to get entangled with all those wordly duties, he wants to become a Brahma sanyasi. Narad says that his other 10 sons have already lived the life of prajapati, so what will happen if he doesn't do so. Brahma says Narad won't be able to be free from pitri rin on which Narad says if Brahma doesn't want to free him from pitri rin then he's fine with it but he won't live the life of a prajapati. Narad leaves & is stopped by Shani. Shani says that it's his duty but as he didn't agree to do it, he'll get punished & he'll make him take several births until he does it & freezes Narad's body & takes out his soul & transmits it into a woman's womb.

In one birth, Narad is shown serving his parents, in another he's shown living the like like a sage who begs & lives on what others give to him(referring to karma yogi), in another he gets born as the son of a saint & gains knowledge. Finally his 7^th birth takes place where he gets born as the son of King Chitraketu, in which he needs to live the grihastha ashram life. In this birth his name is Upbhrant. Upbhrant is a sitar player & is playing is sitar, while Chandrika is dancing, he gets attracted to her & holds her in his arms. His father Chitraketu sees this & says he'll have to go somewhere to get further education on which Upbhrant replies that he is the world's best sitar player & doesn't need to get more educated, he says he wants to marry Chandrika & if he doesn't get permission then also he'll marry her. Shani is smiling & saying that Narad, some time back you were against these worldly duties but now you're eager to get married & can't stop smiling at Narad's activities.

In front of Shani's idol, Chandraketu is telling his wife that he won't allow this happen. Then Shani appears in the idol & calls his name out & tells them let Upbhrant marry Chandrika as it falls under his nyayachakra. Upbhrant gets married & is completely nuts over his wife & crazy about her beauty. Shani just can't stop smiling that how Narad in this birth is just crazy over a woman. Upbhrant tries to hold her from the back on which she pushes him & tells her that there are some other duties too that need to be fulfilled for their marriage life, he does nothing, and all duties are done by his father. Upbhrant says very soon a sitar playing competition is going to be held among the Gandharvs, he'll win it & get 8 bhars gold(something like that) which will be sufficient for his next generation too. Shani says Narad now you're being blind with proud feelings which need to be eradicated. In the sitar playing competition, Upbhrant is announced the winner while Shani enters in a disguised form & says, Upbhrant will have to compete with him to win the competition. Both play the sitars, Upbhrant stops playing as blood starts coming out from his fingers. Shani says knowledge never loses but proud feelings can never win. Upbhrant gets up angrily & leaves; in the palace he's shown leaving the palace too & on asked he says he's going to learn how to play sitar from a renowned music teacher. Chandrika stops him & requests him to stay back for their unborn child as she's pregnant. Upbhrant says his parents will take care of her & leaves.

Shani sends Indra's apsara Rambha to that music teacher to learn a form of dance. The guru says she'll be taking her classes along with Upbhrant. Upbhrant is mesmerized with her beauty. He starts getting attracted to her. After she finishes her learning course, she is about to leave, then is stopped by Upbhrant, who says he loves her a lot & how can she leave him like that. Rambha says what rights does he have to say all this, he never cared for his parent's wishes, he never cared about his wife's love for him, he never cared about his unborn child & now he's asking her how she can do this to him & leaves. Upbhrant starts getting memories of how he never cared about anyone's feelings & then jumps off a cliff to commit suicide. But he lands on the ground safely & Shani arrives there & calls him as Narad. He says his name is Upbhrant then Shani provides him memories of how Narad had refused to live the life of a prajapati in front of Brahma & how he had to take seven births on earth. Narad says now he's realized his mistake & says Shani was right, without living the life of grihastha ashram, bamprastha ashram(sorry forgot the other ashrams mentioned), one cannot become a Brahma sanyasi as it would be meaningless without having knowledge about the worldly duties. He says he wants to go back & fulfill his duties of a son, husband & wife & then live the life of bamprastha ashram. After Narad finishes this life cycle, his soul leaves the body & enters into his first body where he had been frozen by Shani. Narad apologizes in front of Shani & Brahma & asks now what he should do. Brahma says now he is free from his pitri rin as he has done all his duties for what he was born & tells him to go to Narayan & always do the jaap of the name Narayan all the time so that he'll get mokshya later. Narad is shown doing the jaap of Narayan Narayan all the time & Lord Vishnu holds his hands up to bless him.

I know it's a very rushed up & messed up update, sorry for that. I'll post my comments & the responses to the above posts later. Got to go now...😳

Ok so talking about the episode, well I just couldn't get it...😳 a bit confusing😕 What was the gist? 😕We should do what our parents want us to do, we should not do what we want otherwise we'll get punished, we won't be able to fulfill that pitri rin LOL!😆 I don't think it was necessary to force Narad to enter all those worldly duties if he wanted to live as a sage Isn't it equivalent to forcing someone to do something against his/her wish? In today's context, if parents want their children to become a doctor then those children can't become something else, they have to become a doctor otherwise they'll get punished???😕 Am I mixing mytho with today's world😆 I just couldn't stop laughing while watching the show😆 Shani couldn't stop smiling seeing Narad's activities as Upbhrant & that made the scenes even funnier😆 The expressions on Upbhrant's face while playing the sitar during the competition was so funny!🤣

Anyway, the biggest confusion is something else now after watching yesterday's episode. Narad was shown someone who was dressed in white clothes (not orange) & neither he had a tanpura nor he was doing the jaap of Narayan when he met Shani. Narad got punished by Shani then finally after the completion of his punishment cycle, he finally achieved what he is known for – dressed in orange colored clothse(as per how he's shown in serials) tanpura & his devotion for Narayan.

Strange! Coz in 2008, when Shani's life was being shown since his birth, Narad was dressed up in orange colored clothes, already had his tanpura & was always busy saying Narayan Narayan all the time. At that time, Shani was a kid when he met Narad😲 & he played Narad's tanpura as if he was playing an electric guitar in rock style🤣 & then in anger he even broke that tanpura due to which Narad seemed a bit scared of Shani. So now if Shani was a kid when Narad had already achieved mokshya in 2008's episode & broke Narad's tanpura then how come in yesterday's episode Shani is not a kid but a grown up, who even punishes Narad at that time when Narad had not achieved his mokshya & all that. Looks like the Sagars have forgotten what they showed in 2008😆
