Would you disappoint your devotees?
They are like our children.
Are you willing to watch silently as they suffer?
Will you be able to bear the sight
of them dying a painful death?
You are right, Lord.
We cannot let our children
fall victim to such atrocities.
For a moment, I had forgotten
that my marital status is eternal.
I wear vermilion on my forehead and in my hair
jewellery including the nuptial necklace
marital bracelets on my wrists
and toe rings on painted toes.
A married woman who wears all these nuptial emblems
is blessed with eternal marital bliss.
I shall not let my love hold you back, Lord.
I am Shakti.
The source of your strength.
And I shall play my part.
Go on.
Protect the universe, My Lord.
Redeem our children from this crisis.
'What is this strange bustle in the sky?'
No.. No!
Oh, Lord!
Lord Shiva must be in so much pain!
The 'Halahal' venom represents evil thoughts, Garud.
The longer we let them accumulate
the more toxic they become.
Hence, we must always try
to keep such evil
and impure thoughts from penetrating our mind.
The mind must always be
free of unholy thoughts.
'The entire universe operates'
'from within the core of Lord Shiva's being.'
'If he swallows the venom and it reaches his belly'
'the world will inevitably come to an end.'
'I must do something soon.'
My Lord.
The entire universe dwells within the core of your being.
If the 'Halahal' venom
travels down your throat
and reaches your belly
all your efforts will have gone in vain
and the world come to an end.
Hence, you must contain the 'Halahal' venom
in your throat.
In order to save the world from destruction
you contained the venom in your throat.
Henceforth, you will also be known
as 'Neelkanth', the blue throated one.
All hail 'Neelkanth' Lord Shiva!
All hail!
All hail 'Neelkanth' Lord Shiva!
All hail!
All hail 'Neelkanth' Lord Shiva!
All hail!
All hail 'Neelkanth' Lord Shiva!
All hail!
This form of mine symbolises self control.
Toxic thoughts might make way into anyone's mind.
But it depends on that person
how far he allows
himself to be affected
by those toxic thoughts.
Whether he allows it
to penetrate his heart and soul or not.
This means
whoever idolises this form of mine
will always keep his negative, impure, unholy
and toxic thoughts under control
and be able to lead a happy
peaceful and contented life.
All hail 'Neelkanth' Lord Shiva!
All hail!
All hail 'Neelkanth' Lord Shiva!
All hail!
All hail 'Neelkanth' Lord Shiva!
All hail!
Mother.
Takshak!
I wonder if it is true or I am deluded.
But just now, I had a feeling
that by Lord Shiva's grace
a terrible crisis has been averted.
You just had a vision of Lord Shiva with Brother Vasuki.
It is normal for you to have such a feeling.
Perhaps.
But Takshak, I also know that
while the ocean is being churned
Lord Vishnu will be by their side.
And yet
I wonder why, I feel worried about Vasuki.
I just hope he is safe.
Oh, Lord!
Kaal Kut has struck terror in all our hearts.
The excitement of churning
has turned into apprehension about
what more could emerge from the ocean.
At times, apprehension can be a good thing, Garud.
At least, in our heart we know what we want.
And our mind knows
that in order to fulfil that desire
we must face all sorts of hardship.
This further drives us to make
more profound efforts towards our goal.
Glory be to Lord Narayan..
Dear Gods and demons.
Backing away out of fear will not lead us to our goal.
Please start churning again.
Glory be to Lord Narayan..
Oh, Lord.
Your words have proven true so soon.
Look!
For the first time, all the Gods and demons are focussed
only on the churning.
Yes, Lord.
Neither are the Gods
making fun of the demons for holding Vasuki
from the anterior end
nor do the demons
resent their plight anymore.
Both parties have transcended their differences
and are churning the ocean
will all their might.
Lord.
I suppose
Goddess Lakshmi will emerge next.
I hope so, Garud.
But even I an not absolutely certain.
Both Gods and demons are churning the ocean.
Hence, what emerges from its depths
and to whom it is given
will depend on the efforts of those churning it.
To make any predictions in this regard
is impossible.
Without a certain degree of uncertainty
life would be so boring.
Think about it.
If everything in our life
goes as per our expectations
or against it
then in either case
what would life be like?
Monotonous
and boring.
But Garud does not agree.
Dilemma should not be suppressed, Garud.
Feel free to speak up
what is in your mind.
Lord
when nothing is life goes as expected..
Rather, everything is
opposite to our expectations
it is normal to feel disappointed
is it not?
What do you mean to say, Garud?
Take my mother for instance, Brother.
After a long and excruciating wait
her elder son was born but in a
semi-developed state.
'What have you done?'
'Out of your jealousy'
'you crippled your own son!'
'After that'
'she wanted to focus all her attention'
'on raising me but..'
'As soon as I was born'
'she became a slave.'
'I was the last ray of hope in her life.'
'But I was enslaved too.'
After every dark night
the rising of the sun is pre-destined, Garud.
Similarly, joys are predestined to follow
every phase of suffering.
This is how the great Lord Brahma
created the universe to be.
Neither good times nor bad times
remain the same forever.
They keep changing, like seasons.
'The time has come'
'when he should be given a glimpse into his future.'
'If you are willing to do this for me'
'then I will free you'
'and your mother'
'from the shackles of slavery.'
'Garud!'
'You should not do that, Garud.'
'You do not have the right.'
'My son and I'
'are free.'
'We are not slaves anymore.'
Not knowing what future has in store
and just doing your duty leads to
conscious thinking.
And knowledge of the future
only adds to worry.
'Something is emerging..'
'I hope it is not something bad.'
'Look.. What is that? Look at that.'
What..
What is happening?
We have been cheated!
We were old prosperity would be restored.
but what is happening
is quite contrary.
Whatever prosperity was left
is also dwindling.
Narayan has deceived us!
He lied to us!
What are you saying, Diti?
Why would Narayan deceive us?
Glory be to Lord Narayan..
Lady Diti
everything that happens
happens for a reason.
Please be patient.
The truth will soon be revealed.
Patience is an illusion, Sage.
The truth is that
my jewellery has lost its shine.
My necklaces, bangles.. Everything.
These signs certainly
do not indicate Goddess Lakshmi's arrival.
Then.. Who is about to emerge, Lord?
Alakshmi.
