But, Sister.
Why did Lord Brahma give Tarakasur such a boon?
I'm wondering the same.
What was the need to give him such a boon?
Yes, Lord.
Why didn't he refuse Tarakasur?
Because gods are bound by devotion.
Lord Brahma had to follow the rules of penance.
Tarakasur's devotion compelled him
to give him a boon.
When gods give a boon
even if the initial effects of it are negative
but in the end, that boon
becomes a reason behind the world's prosperity.
That's what happened here.
After getting the boon from Lord Brahma, Tarakasur
crossed all limits of arrogance.
He was spreading menace everywhere.
The gods were pestered by his atrocities.
Run!
[thudding]
[music playing]
[laughs]
Save us, Lord Brahma.
Save us, Lord Vishnu.
Tarakasur's atrocities are growing.
We tried hard
but we couldn't stop him.
- To the king of demons, Tarakasur! - Praise be to him!
- To the strongest Tarakasur! - Praise be to him!
- To the king of demons, Tarakasur! - Praise be to him!
- To the strongest Tarakasur! - Praise be to him!
By banishing us from Swargalok
Tarakasur has conquered the throne, Lord.
[music playing]
[laughs]
Lord Brahma.
You have given him a boon
that makes him almost immortal.
Now, even gods are unable to fight him.
Be patient, Lord Indra.
You might lose.
But time won't.
[music playing]
Time doesn't lose to anybody.
Tarakasur
will surely lose to this powerful entity.
[music playing]
When the right time comes
Lord Shiva's son will be born.
[music playing]
He will surely kill Tarakasur.
How is this possible, Lord Brahma?
Goddess Sati is no more and Lord Shiva
is in deep meditation.
[music playing]
How will this happen?
Who can dare to
rekindle his emotions once again?
Adishakti is the epitome of power, Lord Indra.
[music playing]
She will be born once again.
Shiva and Shakti shall unite once again.
[music playing]
The lord of mountains, Himavat
and his wife Maina will give birth to a daughter
and the Goddess will be reborn.
[music playing]
When the time comes
she will marry Lord Shiva.
[music playing]
You will be surprised to know
that Himavat and Maina
have already started their penance.
Tarakasur's new power made him forget
that the reason for his end will be born soon.
[laughs]
- Praise be to the divine Goddess! - Praise be to the divine Goddess!
Queen Maina and King Himavat
used to worship Adishakti.
They used to observe fast on the eighth day.
On the ninth day, they used to worship married women
and donated things loved by married women.
This is called Suhasini worship.
Whichever couple
performs this worship with utmost commitment
in the form of a girl
Goddess Adilakshmi is born.
[conch blows]
On one hand, the king and the queen
were doing the penance with utmost devotion.
On the other hand
Tarakasur's menace kept growing.
Help us!
Let go of me!
- Help! - Help!
- [wailing]
Help us!
Let go of us! Help!
- Let go! Help! - Help!
[music playing]
When will the goddess be impressed?
When will she be born?
When will she marry Lord Shiva and when will she
bring him out of solitude.
When will they give birth to a son?
When will this tyrant Tarakasur die?
[music playing]
Praise
- be to the divine Goddess! - be to the divine Goddess!
- Praise be to the divine Goddess! - Praise be to the divine Goddess!
After a long penance
visited king Himavat and queen Maina Devi.
[music playing]
[song playing]
- Goddess! - Goddess Adishakti!
I am impressed by your penance and perseverance.
What is your wish?
Goddess.
We wish to have a child.
But I have four requests.
My first request is that
I want a daughter
who has the power to manoeuvre throught the three Lokas.
My second request is that
my daughter must be the greatest of the triad.
As my third request
I would like
my daughter
to marry Lord Shiva.
[music playing]
So, both of you
want me as your daughter.
Yes, Goddess.
This is our wish.
What is the fourth wish, Goddess?
Goddess.
Before our daughter is born
I wish to have a hundred sons
so that after my daughter's birth
she gets the affection of hundred brothers.
[music playing]
If I
bless you with one son equivalent to a hundred
so that sooner
I will be born as your daughter.
Will that be acceptable to you?
[music playing]
We're fortunate, Goddess.
My brother will be called Mainak.
In the future, when Hanuman
will cross the ocean to reach Lanka
he will rest on Mainak for a while.
After Mainak, I will be born
and after my birth
you will bear ninety-nine sons.
All of them will be winners.
In all the corners of the world
your progeny will be praised.
[song playing]
As Adishakti's boon
Mainak was born to Queen Maina.
[music playing]
Soon
it was time for Adishakti to be born.
[screams]
[baby crying]
Congratulations, King! You have a daughter.
[music playing]
In the month of Chaitra, on the 9th day of the first fortnight
in the middle of the night, in the fifth lunar mansion
the Goddess was born.
[music playing]
Greetings, Goddess!
[music playing]
Your daughter is blue.
She will be called Kali.
[music playing]
Being the daughter of the mountains
she will also be called Parvati, Shailaja
and Shailputri too.
[song playing]
When she grows up
Lord Shiva will marry her.
[song playing]
Praise be to God!
[conch blows]
I'm fortunate, Goddess.
I'm fortunate.
- To Goddess Shailputri. - Praise be to her!
King Himavat and Queen Maina
worshipped with utmost devotion to have a daughter.
Congratulations, King! You have a daughter.
they were fortunate to be her parents.
The truth is that
when an ordinary couple gets the boon of a daughter
a part of the Goddess is in that as well.
[music playing]
That's why every girl's parents
must consider themselves fortunate.
Because of the divinity within
every girl on this planet
is meant to be worshipped.
[music playing]
Whoever nurtures a girl child
with love
his progeny, for many years to come
are blessed in abundance.
[conch blows]
[music playing]
[song playing]
[music playing]
[song playing]
[music playing]
O, Goddess Shailputri! Come, visit us.
Visit us, Goddess.
Goddess Shailputri.
Visit me and bless me
to soon become my Lord's vehicle and serve him.
[music playing]
I'm impressed with your worship and devotion.
You followed my penance, Suparna.
Undoubtedly
your motive is untarnished.
But whether you will succeed
and find your destiny
will depend on your determination.
[music playing]
To begin anything
is easy, dear.
But to persevere is difficult.
For the next nine days
if you're able to devote yourself to all the nine Goddesses
then you will surely attain your goal.
This is my blessing.
[song playing]
Since we lost our son
I had lost faith in devotion.
I had lost hope to get my son back.
But along with the devotion
that hope has been revived too.
I'm sure
that you will soon return my son to me.
