Here, Mother.
Enough, Garud. I don't need anything more.
Do you know, Garud?
When you observe a fast
root vegetables like bottle gourd, sweet potatoes
and the main course made out of water chestnut flour
such light meals are taken.
That too, with milk.
Lord.
[music playing]
Lord, why did you take the trouble?
You could've told me.
Had you got it
then I would've missed tending to a cow.
No, Garud.
The Bovine Goddess must be caressed
with affection
and with her permission, when you milk her
how could I miss that opportunity?
That's not possible.
The memory of your Krishna avatar
is still with you, Lord.
Garud.
As per the fast
you must feed everyone before eating.
Once the meal is over
I will give it to the landlord and landlady first.
I enjoyed it.
After a long time, I heard the Goddess' story.
It has been twelve years.
[music playing]
I know.
Every Navratri, the agony
is rekindled.
- Gradually, you have to end it. - How?
[music playing]
How do I forget that person who lived in my womb for nine months?
[music playing]
He nurtured
not only on my milk
but also my blood.
How do I forget the person whom I loved more than myself?
You tell me.
Can you forget that day?
The day a piece of your heart
left us forever.
Tell me.
Can you do it?
[song playing]
Mother, feed me quickly.
I'm very hungry.
You have entered the kitchen again without washing your feet.
How many times have I warned you?
You always scold me.
Don't enter the kitchen without washing your feet.
Don't eat sweets from the shop.
Don't leave the house after sunset.
Only you scold me so much.
Are you mad?
How many times have I warned you
to not talk to your mother like that?
Don't you understand?
If your mother stops you from doing something
it is for your best.
I have grown up now.
Both of you keep scolding me.
Don't you understand it?
I'm capable of deciding for myself.
I don't wish to live here.
Son! Wait!
Where are you going?
At least eat before leaving.
I'm full of your scoldings. I'm not hungry anymore.
You always scold me and meddle.
Then you pretend to love me as well.
You're a bad mother.
I've never seen a worse mother.
Shut up! [slaps]
[song playing]
- Hey! - Let him go.
He will return when he calms down.
Where will he go?
[music playing]
I didn't know
that he will never calm down
and never return.
Take this.
You were asking me to move on and now you're...
[song playing]
'They stopped celebrating because of their son's disappearance.'
'That's why we're here.'
'To rekindle their faith in devotion.'
'Sometimes, to rekindle a devotee's commitment'
'even gods take a form to attempt.'
Listen.
[music playing]
Welcome.
I've brought the offering for you.
Take this.
You didn't have to.
We were in need
and you fulfilled it so well.
This is love.
I will accept it since you've brought it with love.
You have a taste.
I hope it's fine.
Is the salt fine?
Well
I will correct it before serving my husband.
Sure. Come in.
[music playing]
Truly.
The offering is very tasty.
By the grace of the Goddess.
Thank you.
- Today, I will sleep well. - Hmm.
Put the burden of your worries on the Goddess.
I'll leave now.
Praise be to Goddess.
- Praise be to Goddess. - Praise be to Goddess.
[song playing]
[music playing]
Mushak, the offering was an excuse.
The motive behind aunty's visit to the priest's house
was to find out the reason behind their sorrow.
So that she can help them.
With this motive
uncle and aunty
are reciting the Goddess' story to them.
So that their worries are gone.
[music playing]
I could've never been angry with my mother.
How can a son be angry for twelve years?
Without knowing someone's situation
making assumptions
or judging them
is not right, Garud.
If a person makes a mistake
and they rectify it
then it's forgiven.
I'm sure
that the Goddess will reward this couple for their penance.
They will unite with their son.
[music playing]
[conch blows]
They haven't come yet.
You're here.
Your story recital was so good.
Today, we
couldn't stop ourselves.
Come on.
Without further delay
let's move to the second day of Navratri.
Let's listen to Goddess Shailputri's story.
[conch blows]
[song playing]
Brahma means
Brahma is the light of wisdom.
It means that
Brahma is the light of wisdom.
It means disciple.
Someone who follows.
So Brahmacharini means
someone who follows wisdom.
This form of Goddess is luminous.
Very composed.
In her right hand, she holds prayer beads.
In her left hand, she holds a pot.
Mother. How did Goddess take this form?
Tell us more.
With time, King Himavat
and Queen Maina's daughter Kali
was becoming luminous like the moonlight.
Soon, she grew up.
King Himavat and Queen Maina
imparted good values to Shailputri since childhood.
Because of which
she had become virtuous.
[conch blows]
Queen Maina
taught her forms of penance since childhood.
So that Shailputri attains the husband
for whom she was born.
[song playing]
Tarakasur's growing menace
all gods
were eagerly waiting for Lord Shiva and Shailputri to unite.
On the other hand
Shailputri's world
was limited to her palace.
Because of that
the gods were worried.
What are you hiding, Sage?
You know the situation that the gods are in.
All our hopes
are rested on Lord Shiva's son.
Until Lord Shiva meets with Shailputri
how will Lord Shiva wake up?
If he doesn't get wake up
then how will he fall in love and unite?
Then
when will he have a son?
[music playing]
Do something, O Sage.
Find a way to unite them soon.
I can understand, Lord Indra.
I'll try my best.
Praise be to God!
[song playing]
She looks just like Lord Shiva's beloved Sati.
The world is about to witness Shiva and Shakti's union once again.
[music playing]
Permit me, O Sage.
By washing your feet
I wish to welcome you.
What are you doing, Goddess?
I'm an ordinary sage.
You're the Lord of Sages.
I'm an ordinary girl.
'You're unaware that you're a form of Adishakti.'
By showing you respect
I will feel happy and blessed.
Permit me, Sage.
[music playing]
'I'm so glad to see how humble you are.'
[music playing]
Welcome, Sage.
I don't even know whether you're blessing me
or giving power to my hopes to come true
and blessing the universe.
But I hope
that you must marry
the man whom you desire as your husband
and time will tell you.
You will fall in love.
Praise be to God!
Welcome, Sage.
[music playing]
I'm the Lord of the Mountains.
Sages visit my mountains
and meditate.
To take care of them
and protecting them is my duty.
Yet, Tarakasur's
menace is something that I'm unable to end.
This is pinching me
the most.
[music playing]
[thudding]
[song playing]
[fluttering]
Tarakasur has
crossed all limits of arrogance.
Like every sinner
Tarakasur was also counting his days.
But destiny had other
plans for him.
I know that whatever is in your capacity
to stop the atrocities against the sages
you will surely do it.
I believe you.
But, I'm not here to discuss this today.
By the grace of Lord Vishnu
I was thinking about Shailputri's wedding.
If you permit me...
You're a sage. You're the Lord of the Sages.
To share something with me
you must not hesitate.
In your region
there's a cave near this palace.
In that cave, a sage is in deep meditation.
If you send your daughter to devote herself to him
then she will surely prosper.
Praise be to God!
[music playing]
On Sage Narada's advice
the most beautiful union of this planet has begun.
After Goddess Sati's death
to witness Shiva and Parvati's union
the world is eagerly waiting.
She's so delicate.
She has never been away from me to date.
She doesn't understand the ways of the world.
And you're
at this tender age
asking her to devote herself
to a sage in the cave.
She's an inseparable part of my heart.
You're unable to tell me
how long will Parvati have to serve that sage?
[music playing]
During this time
what if Parvati does something wrong?
She won't.
We have taught our daughter well, Queen.
I have faith
on my values and your ideals.
To become capable in life
Parvati must go through such challenges.
For how long will parents protect her?
We can't be around forever.
We must make her capable.
We must make her self-reliant.
We must make her confident.
Queen, sometimes
for a larger purpose in life
we have to make stern decisions.
But, King...
What about her wedding?
If Sage Narada has decided
then it is for her best.
Then
gold is processed after burning
and its value increases.
[music playing]
'By serving this sage'
'my daughter will prosper too.'
'She will soon get married to Lord Shiva.'
I was eagerly waiting
for this story to begin.
My parents' union
and the story of Tarakasur's death is interesting, Mushak.
You will enjoy it too.
In this story
there's an important lesson for Garud too.
It will help him become the official vehicle of Lord Vishnu.
