On one hand, Lord Vishnu
was realising his plan
and on the other hand, Goddess Parvati
and her son's bond was deepening.
On the auspicious occasion of my child's birth
all of you are here to congratulate me.
I'm thankful to all of you!
[music playing]
So, tell me
have you brought gifts for my son or...
[laughs]
We've brought gifts, dear!
- Hmm. - Hmm.
Son, these clothes are for you.
Choose the one that you like.
[music playing]
I thank all of you!
But I love the clothes given by my mother.
[laughs]
[music playing]
It is necessary to adorn oneself with flowers, dear.
Choose the one that you like the most.
[music playing]
I thank all of you!
But I love
the hibiscus flower given by my mother.
Friends, he knows
what Goddess Parvati is going to give him.
In comparison to that gift
our gifts will never be chosen.
[laughs]
Why don't we do something
so that he doesn't find out
whose gift it is.
Good idea, Lakshmi.
That's when we can find out
what he likes.
Let them try, Mother.
Your love shall win.
[laughs]
[music playing]
Ah!
[music playing]
'I can smell delicacies.'
[conch blows]
'I can smell delicacies, and sweets.'
'How do I spot mother?'
[music playing]
'Pudding!'
'Carrot pudding.'
'But I want delicacies cooked by my mother.'
[music playing]
'Fox nut pudding.'
'This must be made by Goddess Lakshmi.'
'But where is my mother?'
'Hmm. "Laddoo"'
The bond between a mother and a son is unique.
With blind-folded eyes
Lord Ganesha recognised Goddess Parvati.
Like a newborn
calms down on being touched by the mother
similarly, for Lord Ganesha
his mother's touch, her gift
and her commands was above all.
I accept, my dear.
Your bond with your mother
is very deep.
Or can I say that you're devoted to your mother.
No matter what you say
I'm indeed hungry.
The delicacies offered by you all
I won't let it be wasted. I will eat it all!
Okay, take some rest now. You must be tired.
No, I wish to spend time with you all.
[song playing]
'Mother is tired.'
'She's asking me to rest instead.'
Thank you for visiting me.
'But, my mother needs to rest now.'
[music playing]
'He worries about me and takes good care.'
'He's the son I desired.'
'My wish is fulfilled.'
'But, I can't'
'wait to introduce him to Lord Shiva.'
In Kailash, Goddess Parvati felt
that her worries will be gone as soon as her son is born.
In hell, Lord Vishnu, in front of Gajasur
was narrating the story of Lord Shiva and Goddess Parvati
in an attempt to free Lord Shiva from Gajasur's abdomen.
'Lord Shiva was in agony.'
'The endless separation from his beloved, Goddess Parvati'
'was bursting out as fury.'
'Death was dancing.'
'Every passing moment seemed'
'to bring destruction.'
[music playing]
'Lord Shiva's anger was a call for destruction.'
'The world was about to end.'
'It was necessary to stop him.'
'But, nobody knew'
'how to make this possible.'
'That's when Lord Vishnu stepped in'
'and he did something that was unimaginable.'
'What did Vishnu do?'
'With his weapon'
'Sati's dead body'
'was split up into fifty-two parts.'
'Those fifty-two parts'
'fell in different parts of India.'
'That later became fifty-two significant shrines.'
'These shrines'
'represent the intense love of Goddess Sati'
'and it is a memorabilia of that fury.'
[music playing]
'Lord Vishnu's action'
'calmed Lord Shiva's anger'
'and it saved the world too.'
'But Lord Shiva's heart was full of pain.'
'By losing Sati, he had lost his power'
'and his soul felt lost.'
'Without her, he was incomplete.'
'I have separated Lord Shiva and Goddess Parvati too.'
'Can I be in trouble?'
'Get some rest, Mother.'
'Hmm. The way you were running earlier'
'so that I can't catch you'
'similarly, my sleep has vanished'
'listening to your adorable stories.'
'That's why don't worry about me'
'and tell me what do you want to do.'
'Oh, do you want to swing? Come on!'
[song playing]
'- Sit down, Mother. - [laughs]'
'You're my son.'
'I should be swinging you.'
'Else you will get tired.'
'I can never get tired of serving you.'
'Praise be to Lord Vishnu!'
'Your son is remarkable, Goddess!'
'He only worries about your happiness.'
'- Greetings, O Sage. - Greetings, O Sage.'
'[laughs] Come here!'
'You're here on time.'
'Bless him quickly!'
'Sure, O Goddess!'
[conch blows]
[music playing]
'What did I experience?'
[music playing]
'Give me the boon of dying at the hands of'
'the one whose birth is not out of the union.'
'His father must have cut his head and rejoined it.'
[music playing]
'Uh!'
'What happened, O Sage?'
[music playing]
'How do I tell her that I can't bless her son to live long?'
[music playing]
'What are you thinking, Sage?'
'Well...'
'As remarkable is the birth of this boy'
'his life will be equally remarkable.'
'I'm sure'
'that his life will be long and interesting.'
'Praise be to Lord Vishnu!'
'Pardon me, Goddess.'
'I must go now.'
[music playing]
'Will my intuition come true?'
'If that's true then what will be the Goddess' reaction?'
'What did I experience?'
'How do I tell a mother that her son won't live long?'
'If it comes true then she won't be able to bear the separation.'
'Whom do I tell about the consequences?'
'Lord Vishnu is also not here.'
Sage Narada's worry was not without reason.
He knew that Gajmukhasur's first boon
can only be overcome by this kid.
As he was born without a union.
But it wasn't possible to overcome his second boon yet.
He didn't have an elephant face.
As long as Lord Shiva was residing in Gajasur's abdomen
it wasn't possible.
So you mean
that if Lord Shiva would've resided in Gajasur's abdomen
then the world would've been in danger.
Had he come out
then his son's life would've been in danger.
[music playing]
What happened next?
Goddess Parvati
was unaware of the imminent danger to her son.
Lord Vishnu was trying to free Lord Shiva
with great effort.
'He became a neurotic thinking about his beloved'
'and started wandering like a vagabond.'
'His troubles'
'hurt his devotees.'
'They knew that'
'the world can get Lord Shiva back'
'only when Lord Shiva once again finds love.'
'Goddess Sati was reborn'
'as Goddess Parvati.'
'Praise be to Lord Shiva!'
'But there are obstacles in love.'
'Many years had to pass before Shiva and his beloved could unite.'
'Lord Shiva who was burning in his agony'
'went into a deep meditation in search for peace.'
'To unite with her beloved, Goddess Parvati'
'started meditating'
'but her mother, Mainavati didn't want her'
'delicate daughter to take up such a rigorous penance.'
'Goddess Parvati gave up on food first'
'and took a vow to survive on leaves.'
'Later, she quit that too.'
[music playing]
'Because of this, she is also called Aparna.'
'It means someone who doesn't even need leaves to survive.'
'But after such a rigorous penance'
'she couldn't break Lord Shiva's concentration and earn his love.'
Lord Shiva and Goddess Parvati
are symbols of love.
To be with each other
and stand by each other, they have been through so much.
Whenever they're apart
the world is in danger.
You're right, Garud.
Even then, Lord Shiva and Goddess Parvati'
'were separated.'
'Neither of them knew'
'of the imminent danger to their son.'
[music playing]
'He looks beautiful!'
'He's so mischievous that I can't express!'
'For his mother, his heart is filled with respect'
'love and devotion'
'that any mother would be smitten.'
'I'm being honest, O Lord.'
'Looking at him once, anybody'
'will forget their worries'
'that's how adorable Parvati's son is!'
'Goddess, don't tell me more.'
'Your description'
'strengthens my desire to meet him.'
[music playing]
'But meeting him will not be good.'
'But that's only when you directly see him.'
'If you watch him through a hiding'
'then nothing will happen.'
'- But, Goddess... - Very rarely'
'a child like this is born.'
'Meeting him'
'has made me very peaceful.'
'And the truth is that'
'as soon as I saw him'
'I experience motherly love.'
[music playing]
'Mother!'
'Is that child so virtuous?'
'I have to go there'
'and meet him.'
'Lord Shani is known'
'to have control over his emotions and deeds.'
'He is always aware of the consequences of his actions.'
'Because every being on this planet'
'punishing them for their actions is his duty.'
'On hearing about this boy'
'he couldn't stop himself.'
'But, Lord Shani, whose vision protects the world'
'had left for Kailash to meet this boy.'
'But Sage Narada was worried about Ganesha's future.'
'Is that sight a part of destiny's plan or imminent danger?
[music playing]
'Greetings, Sage Narada.'
'Greetings, Lord Shani.'
'Aren't you returning from Kailash?'
'Is Goddess Parvati's child so special?'
'She has envisioned the qualities of every child'
'and created him.'
'He is adorable, enchanting'
'sweet voice, big eyes'
'long arms'
'and an idol of virtues.'
'In this entire world'
'who can be more special than that child?'
'Sage Narada's words increased my desire.'
'Thank you, Sage Narada.'
'Praise be to Lord Vishnu.'
[music playing]
'Is Lord Shani going to meet him?'
[music playing]
'Is the child in danger?'
[thundering]
'Was I right to tell Lord Shani about the kid or not?'
'Praise be to Lord Vishnu!'
'Why am I feeling as if'
'time is fleeting.'
'There are many incidents taking place at once.'
'This is not an ordinary situation.'
'Something menacing is about to happen.'
'But what is it?'
[music playing]
