Lord Shiva's plan
was conveyed to the Goddess, but
she got angry without understanding his intent.
What happened next?
Then Goddess Parvati went into deep meditation.
So that she can reclaim her divinity
that Lord Shiva desired.
Why did she have to undergo a penance?
She's a Goddess. She could've wished for it
and it would've been granted to her.
Isn't it?
It's true.
But she's the mother of this creation.
So, she was abiding by the rules.
She was setting an example with her action
that without meditation and hard work
nothing can be attained.
[music playing]
Goddess Parvati went to the forest
and started chanting Lord Brahma's name.
But she was not alone in the forest.
[growling]
[squeals]
[gasps]
[roars]
There was an old lion in the forest.
Because of being unable to hunt animals, he became a man-eater.
But Goddess Parvati
was deep into her meditation.
Praise be to Lord Brahma!
[roars]
Praise be to Lord Brahma!
[roars]
[music playing]
Praise be to Lord Brahma!
Such is the impact of Goddess' compassionate look.
Whoever receives it
all their wishes
even hunger, and thirst are satiated.
By becoming the receiver of her divine compassion
he devotes himself to her.
That's what happened to the lion too.
He calmed down instantly.
He stopped attacking animals.
So that the Goddess' meditation is not interrupted
he started guarding the place.
Praise be to Lord Brahma!
[music playing]
Lord Brahma.
May you prosper!
The paranormal powers of this penance
are already at your discretion, Goddess.
For such a rigorous penance
and this plan
what was the need for it?
Lord Brahma, in the early age of this planet
because of being the first god
you're my eldest son.
But, for the betterment of the world
you gave rise to the furious form
of Lord Shiva.
So, you're my husband's father
and my father-in-law
so you're my guide.
When I think about this
that my father in this birth, King Himavat
and my father in the previous birth, Lord Daksha is your son.
So you're my grandfather too.
O, Grandfather.
I'm hurt by what my husband thinks.
I don't wish to discuss it.
But, I pray that
you grant me
my reputation, divinity, pride, and radiance
and I will be obliged.
Okay.
Did you undergo such rigorous penance for this?
Goddess, this plan of yours
has added to my grace.
Today, you have proven
that the world that you gave birth to
it's reputation
you will never allow it to be tarnished.
So
To grant you a boon
I'm not capable of it.
Yet, if you
want me to fulfil your wishes
then may all your wishes
come true.
So be it.
[song playing]
[music playing]
O, Goddess.
The world needed
for you to be reincarnated as Mahagauri.
This form
will grant paranormal powers to spirituals seekers
that will
help the world prosper.
You may return to Kailash now.
Lord Shiva and everybody else
have been longing
for you.
Somnandi.
[roars]
Come on, let's go home.
So, the Goddess returned to Kailash after restoring her divine powers.
No, Suparna. There was a hurdle on her way.
[music playing]
'I have taken this form as Mahagauri after a penance'
'but when my husband'
'Lord Shiva sees me'
'will he like it or not?'
'How will he react?'
Ganesha, Kartikeya.
Hurry up.
Your mother is expected anytime.
[music playing]
I will go and receive her.
Lord, the devotees have already left to receive her.
What happened, Somnandi?
Why did you stop?
My Salutations, Goddess!
You're so wonderful, Goddess!
When Lord Shiva sees you
his joy will know no bounds.
My happiness lies in his.
Let me pass.
So that I can reach home soon.
Go ahead, Goddess.
But this lion can't go ahead.
[roars]
'These devotees'
'are stopping my lion from entering Kailash.'
'Do I have no say in Kailash?'
'If Lord Shiva is the king of Kailash'
'then I'm his better half.'
'I'm the queen of Kailash.'
'I have to establish my power.'
Why hasn't she returned yet?
Why is she getting so late?
Father seems to be so excited and restless
as if it's his first meeting with mother.
He will be seeing her new form for the first time, Kartikeya.
To be honest
even I'm excited and restless.
Me too.
This lion is Somnandi.
I'm fond of him.
And he will go to Kailash with me.
Who will stop me?
Will you?
Or will you?
We are your servants, Goddess. How can we stop you?
We are following Lord Shiva's rules.
According to the rules in Kailash
only Lord Shiva's devotees can live here.
If Lord Shiva permits
then we have no problem in letting it pass.
Call your Lord!
[music playing]
[conch blows]
[roars]
I'm impressed, Goddess.
Your penance was a success.
Let's go inside.
Kailash is waiting for you.
I have longed for this moment too, Lord.
But, I will enter with Somnandi.
Not without him.
[music playing]
How is this possible, Goddess?
This lion is a violent creature.
He's a man-eater.
He was in the past, Lord.
Since he has been devoted to me
he has stopped hunting too.
His behaviour has changed.
He protected me during my meditation.
He took care that
nobody interrupted my meditation.
How is this possible without
the conscience realising, Lord?
You're aware
that a truly devoted person
all his sins in the past are washed away.
Most importantly, I've been compassionate to him.
Such a creature's past sins
troubles and sorrows
are washed away forever.
So, you must give him a place in your community
and the permission to enter Kailash, Lord.
[music playing]
[roars]
'What an irony!'
'Parvati has returned after a long time'
'and she wants permission to let this lion stay in Kailash.'
'Many creatures reside here.'
'If I permit her, their lives might fall in danger.'
'But, Goddess, even Nandi and Shringi live here.'
A Lion and an ox have always been enemies.
How can this tiger live in Kailash then, Goddess?
With the power of meditation.
Lord, you're the symbol of calm.
By worshiping you
all creatures under your aegis
have given up on violence and turned calm.
The entire creation knows that
even enemies give up their difference of opinion
and live happily together.
That's Kailash.
[music playing]
In this world
where a snake preys on a mouse, and a peacock preys on a snake.
That's where Ganesha's Mushak, your snake
and Kartikeya's peacock live happily together.
So, a lion and an ox can co-exist.
[roars]
You're right, Goddess.
A place where enemies reconcile
can only be at Kailash.
[music playing]
Your lion, Somnandi
is permitted to be a part of our community.
Hereafter, Somnandi
will live with us in Kailash.
[music playing]
Welcome.
[music playing]
That's how Mahagauri came into existence.
But, instead of being grateful
the Gods started to drown in their arrogance.
They started considering themselves to be the most powerful.
[music playing]
To end this arrogance
Goddess Parvati will be reincarnated as Siddhidhatri.
