[conch blows]
Don't worry.
A fast observed with utmost devotion and care
always yields results.
[conch blows]
By the grace of the Bhagwati
we met the Goddess today.
And the Goddess told us that
our wish will be fulfiled soon.
Our son will surely return to us.
[music playing]
'Earlier, I momentarily felt'
'that the women reminded me of Goddess Durga'
'but my brother and sister-in-law were visited by the Goddess now.'
'Maybe it's my illusion.'
'But what if it's true?'
'What if their wish is fulfiled?'
No.
I can't let this happen.
I can't let this happen at any cost.
[music playing]
'Because of this fast, the priest and his wife'
'are hopeful again.'
'If their wish doesn't come true'
'then their faith in devotion will end.'
'They will be in despair.'
[music playing]
Goddess.
Please guide me.
[music playing]
Goddess.
You're a part of me, Lakshmi.
If you wish, you may find out
what you want.
Yet
you want to worship me so that I guide you.
The utmost devotion with which you're observing the fast
I'm impressed with that.
So
I will rid you of your worries.
The person that you're looking for
is currently in deep meditation.
You're aware that
no meditation can replace service to your parents
and it can never be successful.
I'm grateful, Goddess.
I'm grateful to you.
Not only did you tell me about the mendicant
but also showed me the path.
[music playing]
[song playing]
[chanting]
[birds chirping]
[music playing]
Excrement!
Mischievous bird!
How dare you meddle with a mendicant's meditation?
[dazzles]
[chanting]
[music playing]
'So, the mendicant hasn't realised yet.'
'I have to teach him a lesson.'
'I will have to show him the truth.'
[music playing]
On the eighth day of Navratri
we worship the form of Mahagauri.
This form represents the divinity in women.
Sometimes, women
while fulfiling their family responsibilities
forget their identity.
But if they wish
they can find the divinity shrouded in them
and reclaim their lost identity.
[music playing]
But, Goddess.
How is this
related to Mahagauri?
How did she take this form?
After Mahishasur's death
like earlier, the Goddess
with complete concentration
began focussing on her family
and the management of Kailash.
Doing these mundane, routine tasks
and dispensing her duties
she was forgetting her identity.
[music playing]
[thudding]
Parvati.
From morning to night
you're always busy with something.
You've been busy since morning.
You didn't even relax.
Take some rest.
What do I do, Lord? There's so much work
and anyway
the truth is that, my household chores
and managing Kailash
keep me happy.
I've put the lentils to cook. I'll be back.
[music playing]
'History is repeating itself.'
'Parvati is losing her divinity.'
Lord Shiva could see Parvati's divinity gradually declining.
He found the time to be right
for Goddess Parvati
must be motivated to find her true identity.
Because he knew
that exterior motivation
can't cause
the Goddess to be keen to reclaim her divinity.
But the world
needed the Goddess' divine energy.
Because many paranormal powers
could be granted only by the Goddess.
Only after possessing those powers
can this seeker
fulfil his welfare motive.
Apart from that
for the establishment and explanation of woman power
her divine energy was needed.
But, Lord Shiva
was afraid.
You are a good storyteller.
But it doesn't mean that we will accept all that you say.
Why will Lord Shiva be afraid of anyone?
Everybody feels
that only women fear their husbands.
But the truth is that
even husbands fear their devoted wives.
Because such wives
fulfil their duties well
and are committed to their tasks.
Fulfiling their responsibilities
is a matter of pride to them.
So, when a woman
is motivated to rekindle her divine energy,
indirectly, her present is being criticized.
That was Lord Shiva's dilemma too.
How can he criticize his wife?
[song playing]
[tinkling]
[song playing]
Here, take this.
[song playing]
What happened?
Why are you looking at me like this?
Oh! Tell me.
'How do I tell you without hurting you?'
'I hope that this matter that pierces my heart'
'is intuitively conveyed to you.'
'My dilemma will be resolved.'
[music playing]
Take this. There's so much work left and you're relaxing.
Let me go. I have to prepare for the ritual.
'Why can't Parvati see'
'that she is losing her divinity?'
Did you say something, Lord?
Me?
I'm quiet.
Your mouth is quiet.
But your mind is talking.
Tell me what you were thinking about me.
I know.
You said something about me.
Even you know
that when you express appreciation
the person receiving it feels good.
'Parvati wants to be praised.'
'But when she finds out that I was criticizing her instead,'
'she might get angry.'
Oh! Tell me.
[music playing]
No, I wasn't thinking.
- Come on, sit with me. - No.
You will tell me what you were thinking.
What's the problem with sharing a thought?
Tell me.
It's nothing.
As long as you don't tell me, I won't leave this place.
Tell me.
Let it be.
It's too petty.
You thought about me
and you don't wish to share it with me. Why?
You're trying to hide it from me.
It must be something big and unhappy.
I need to know, Lord.
You have to tell me.
Okay.
Won't I find out if you don't tell me?
I will find out.
[music playing]
'Why can't Parvati see'
'that her form is losing divinity'
She is getting angrier. I hope it gets settled.
So, this is what you feel for me.
[music playing]
I didn't even realise
that you're not happy with me.
I felt that I'm always your beloved, no matter what.
[song playing]
You're right.
You're always my beloved, no matter what.
Then how could you think of this?
It's a big thing.
My form is not divine enough for you.
It is your cause of sadness.
You don't see the divinity in my present form.
A woman's life
is accomplished when her husband
finds her to be
the world's best and most beautiful woman.
But, in your mind, you have doubts about me.
Why are you saying this?
It's the truth, Lord.
My life is useless!
I couldn't please my husband.
So
I won't live here anymore.
I'm sad that
you don't appreciate me.
Why didn't you tell me earlier?
[song playing]
I was in an illusion.
Had I known the truth
I would've left earlier.
Left you and Kailash.
[song playing]
An error must be rectified on time.
Hence
I won't live here for even a moment.
I'm leaving right now.
[song playing]
Parvati!
'Parvati!'
Parvati.
'You're a part of my soul.'
'Yet, I have no choice but'
'to see you leave today.'
'I have to bear this pain for the betterment of the world.'
'Today, once again'
'I have to drink the poison of separation, beloved.'
