Lord Vishnu and Lord Brahma
had no solution to these problems.
Time was slipping out
of their hands like sand.
[tense music playing]
Goddess Parvati had started her holy bath.
[music playing]
[song playing]
'As soon as he heard his devotee's call'
'Lord Shiva left to attend it.'
'I agree that it's important to respect someone's penance.'
'But it's important to respect your wife's love too.'
'He knew that I was returning, yet he didn't wait for a moment.'
'Nobody stopped him too.'
[music playing]
'In Kailash, there's nobody'
'who cares about me'
'or respects my wishes.'
[song playing]
[music playing]
'The child that I'll give birth to'
'will obey all my wishes.'
'Although, Krishna troubles Yashoda'
'he loves her the most.'
'Similarly, my son will love me the most.'
'He will go against everyone for me.'
'On being scolded, he will apologise too.'
'If he's naughty'
'then I will tie him to the log and punish him.'
'No.'
'I can't do this.'
'I can't punish him so badly.'
'When Krishna steals butter'
'Yashoda scolds him.'
'But I will make'
'delicious delicacies and feed my son.'
'I will feed him until'
'his stomach'
'and heart is full.'
'My child's heart'
'mind and life force'
'I will fill with love.'
With so much affection
Goddess Parvati gave birth to
a unique creation.
[conch blows]
[music playing]
'Mother!'
'All that I experienced now'
'what was that?'
[music playing]
'Mother!'
[music playing]
'Mother!'
[music playing]
'Mother!'
[music playing]
Looking at this beautiful child
Goddess Parvati was so smitten
that she couldn't recognise her child.
'- Child! - Oh!'
'Who are you?'
'Come here.'
[music playing]
'Come here.'
[music playing]
[giggles]
'Hey, child!'
'Wait!'
[music playing]
'Tell me who you are.'
'Prancing around with your little feet'
'you've won my heart!'
'Wait!'
[giggles]
[music playing]
[song playing]
'What happened, Mother?'
'Are you fine? You're tired.'
[song playing]
'Here, drink some water, Mother.'
[song playing]
'Son!'
[music playing]
[sighs]
- My son! - Yes, Mother.
'I'm your son.'
'A part of you!'
'I've taken birth for you.'
'Hereafter, serving you is my supreme duty.'
'And your happiness is my motive.'
For a mother, the ultimate joy
is to receive love and respect from her child.
Goddess Parvati was elated
that finally there's someone to care about her in Kailash.
[music playing]
The union of a mother with her child is always blissful.
Then
why do I feel that the mothers here
are tearing up?
That's the beauty of this relationship, Garud.
Goddess Parvati is the symbol of power!
She is the other half of Lord Shiva.
She's complete.
But when a woman becomes a mother
and embraces her child
the feeling of joy and being complete
can only be understood by a mother.
In this world, a woman giving birth is
the most beautiful
and divine
experience, Garud.
Lord Ganesha
had solely emanated from Goddess Parvati.
But what happened to Lord Shiva?
He wasn't present at the time of his son's birth.
Yes, Sage.
Lord Vishnu had promised
that after Goddess Parvati's holy bath
and before the ritual ends, he will bring Lord Shiva back.
Then
how didn't he fulfil his promise?
'Garud is asking the right question.'
'His curiosity and the answer'
'will teach Garud something'
'that will be beneficial in the future.'
'Lord Ganesha's life guides everyone.'
'This information will guide Garud too'
'to become my vehicle.'
Along with Lord Vishnu
Lord Brahma, Lord Indra, Nandi
Shringi and other Shiva devotees were in a dilemma.
To resolve his Lord's conflict
Sage Narada reached there
'Praise be to Lord!'
'By making Lord Shiva reside in his abdomen'
'Gajasur feels he has become immortal, O Lord.'
'He has declared'
'that rules over the three worlds.'
'Today is his consecration ceremony'
'for which he has invited the celestial nymphs of Swargalok'
'and celestial beings to sing.'
'If Lord Indra doesn't accept this invitation'
'he will assume this to be a challenge'
'and attack Swargalok tomorrow.'
'Praise be to Lord!'
'Lord, if this happens'
'then it will be impossible to save Swargalok.'
[music playing]
'As long as Lord Shiva resides in his abdomen'
'it is not possible to defeat him.'
[music playing]
'O, Lord!'
'What do we do now?'
'What looks like a problem to you, Lord Indra'
'is the opportunity.'
[music playing]
'If Gajasur wants musical performance'
'then we shall do it.'
[music playing]
'I will go there in a disguise'
'and present my art so well'
'that Gajasur will be compelled'
'to reward me.'
[music playing]
'Your plan is remarkable!'
'Remarkable, O Lord!'
'Remarkable!'
[music playing]
On one hand, Lord Vishnu
Lord Indra
Nandi
Shringi and other Shiva devotees
left to free to Lord Shiva.
On the other hand
in Vishnuloka, Goddess Lakshmi
and Sage Narada
heard Goddess Parvati's laughter.
When they looked toward Kailash
they were shocked.
[giggles]
'Wait!'
[giggles]
Goddess!
'Is my understanding correct?'
[song playing]
'It is true, Sage Narada!'
'This child is a part of Goddess Parvati's heart!'
[music playing]
'As per her wish'
'like Lord Vishnu's Krishna Avatar'
'he's naughty and adorable.'
'It's true!'
'I will meet this child.'
'Even I wish to meet him.'
[conch blows]
'Praise be to Lord!'
'To attract mothers'
'and bask in the affection of motherhood'
'you know the art well, O Lord.'
'Enough, Son! [giggles]'
'Wait! Come here.'
[music playing]
'You must be tired.'
'Let me wash you up and feed you.'
'You must be very hungry.'
'When a child is hungry'
'how does a mother find out?'
[music playing]
[song playing]
'Garud, you must be hungry.'
'Eat well.'
'A growing child needs good nutrition.'
'My mother always finds out too.'
'Every mother, whether it is Goddess Parvati'
'or my mother Vinta.'
'They are all the same.'
'Son!'
All the goddesses went to visit Ganesha.
[music playing]
[song playing]
'A mother's heart'
'is connected to the child's abdomen.'
'When a child is hungry'
'mother's heart becomes restless.'
[music playing]
'That's how a mother finds out'
'that the child is hungry.'
'- Did you understand? - Well said!'
'But, who are you?'
[giggles]
'Ganesha, she is your aunt.'
'Goddess Lakshmi. Greet her.'
'Greetings, Aunty!'
[music playing]
'May you always prosper.'
[conch blows]
[music playing]
'The entire creation was pampering Ganesha'
'unaware of what's about to come.'
[conch blows]
'Who are all of you?'
'We are all your mothers.'
[music playing]
'Come closer, Ganesha.'
'Come to me, Ganesha!'
[laughs]
[music playing]
'Finally, there is someone in Kailash'
'who is not a devotee of Lord Shiva'
'but Goddess Parvati.'
[music playing]
'Congratulations, Goddess!'
'You got the fruit of your penance.'
'As you had imagined'
'your son is just like that.'
[laughs]
'Son!'
'Come ahead.'
'Truly.'
'He is more adorable than I had imagined.'
[music playing]
That boy had smitten not only Goddess Parvati
but all the mothers.
Lord Vishnu
disguised as a performing artist
Lord Indra, Nandi
Shringi and other Shiva devotees
reached near Gajasur's palace.
To fulfil the promise made to Goddess Parvati.
To free Lord Shiva from Gajasur's abdomen.
'Can you see that?'
'It's Gajasur's golden palace.'
[music playing]
O, Lord!
'It is extraordinary!'
'Yes, Lord.'
'How will we be able to enter a place like this?'
[music playing]
'Remarkable, Lord!'
'This disguise is remarkable!'
'Now...'
'Now I just wish'
'that the cause of which we've disguised ourselves'
'must be fulfilled.'
'We will surely free Lord Shiva.'
[conch blows]
[music playing]
'When Gajmukhasur asks a question'
'it is not wise to keep quiet.'
'Who are you all?'
'Why are you here?'
[music playing]
'We're here to free Lord Shiva.'
'But you're foolish and won't understand it.'
[music playing]
'We're storytellers.'
'We praise Lord Shiva'
'for a livelihood.'
'When we heard'
'that the biggest devotee of Lord Shiva'
'is being consecrated here'
'we felt that'
'what can be better than narrating'
'the story of Lord Shiva?'
'It's not what it seems.'
'And'
'what I can't see, is hidden.'
'All of you have come together but'
'you're not a team.'
'You're different.'
[tense music playing]
All of you are different
from each other.
'Did he recognise us?'
[music playing]
'You're right, King.'
'We're different.'
[music playing]
'But we have something in common'
'which is our love for Lord Shiva.'
'Our devotion towards him.'
[music playing]
'Now, tell me.'
'What can be more important than that?'
'- All of you... - You're right.'
[music playing]
'But will you keep talking'
'or perform something?'
[music playing]
'I'm eager to listen to the story of Lord Shiva.'
'Despite being a demon, his devotion'
'is so pure.'
[music playing]
'The world has weird ways.'
'The laws are peculiar.'
'When one story finishes'
'another begins.'
'But those who are immersed in worldly desires'
'can't see through it.'
'This is the message of the story'
'that I'm about to narrate.'
[music playing]
'Daksh insulted Sati's husband'
'He didn't invite him to the holy ritual.'
'He didn't make a place for Lord Shiva.'
'On seeing her husband's humiliation, Sati'
'jumped into the ritual fire.'
'Lord Shiva wanted to save her'
'but he was slightly late.'
'The damage is done.'
'My beloved has lost her life.'
'His third eye opened'
'and instilled fury.'
'He is a well-wisher.'
'The means of maintaining balance.'
'With his beloved, lying cold in his arms'
'was eager to destroy.'
'Where my beloved isn't there'
'what sort of creation is it? What is life?'
'Death shall prevail.'
'Now I shall unleash my wrath.'
[music playing]
Lord Vishnu's promise to Goddess Parvati
was about to come true.
But what was about to happen
he was unaware of it.
