[birds chirping]
- Good morning, Acharya! - Greetings, Acharya.
Good morning.
We have a new student today.
Maruti.
Shall we test his brain
before commencing the lessons?
[amusing music playing]
[intriguing music plays]
This is a mere dot.
What does it mean to you?
Acharya, it looks like a speck of dirt!
Scholarly Nala, please answer
and help Maruti.
It seems Kesari Nandan doesn't know the answer.
[laughing]
Gurudev,
I think
it's the beginning.
"Beginning?"
But how? Please explain.
A small seed
grows into a mighty tree.
Similarly, a tiny dot
can mark the beginning of a great creation.
[intriguing music plays]
We could draw a line with this dot.
This dot can also be the starting point of a circle.
Well done, Maruti. Bravo.
Your thinking is different from the others.
[ethereal music playing]
Acharya,
I have a question.
Please ask.
Can a guru help their student
develop focus and power, and invoke blessings
and siddhis?
[suspenseful music playing]
[conch shell playing]
"Powers and siddhis?"
I know you are inquisitive,
but all your questions can't be answered.
[ethereal music playing]
[theme music playing]
[theme song playing]
[theme song concludes]
He wants to gain all the knowledge in a single day.
All right.
Let's send Maruti
to him.
Maruti, listen!
Your questions are justified.
But the answers...
The omniscient and Trikaldarshi,
the principal of this gurukul,
Maharishi Matanga, can answer your questions. Please go to him.
Really? Is he Trikaldarshi?
Where can I find him?
- Over there! - That side!
[ominous music plays]
Sage Matanga, please help me invoke my powers.
No, this is not right.
Sage Matanga, I want to invoke my siddhis.
Please tell me how I should do it.
Yes! This is how I should speak.
What if he asks me about the names of my siddhis?
Which siddhi should I invoke first?
[happy music playing]
'Who dared to disturb my meditation?'
[dramatic music playing]
I... Uh... I'm Kesari Nandan... Maruti!
Maruti?
You're the one who helped the uncontrollable bull escape.
Why are you here at this hour?
It was falling,
and I caught it so you wouldn't be disturbed.
I want to ask you
how I should invoke
my siddhis, powers,
blessings, and boons.
Child, this is not an ordinary gurukul.
This is a sacred temple of knowledge.
We impart knowledge of the vedas, scriptures, discipline,
and warfare.
We don't teach how to invoke siddhis and boons.
You need to be taught discipline the most.
Once you become disciplined,
you'll find a way to invoke your siddhis.
Now, leave.
[intense music plays]
This is confusing.
The deities granted me the siddhis,
but I am supposed to invoke them.
Look, Hanuman. Let this be clear.
I can't invoke my siddhis without a guru,
but my guru isn't ready to help.
What would I do?
[sinister music plays]
What is the news, Chitraang?
Prince Vali,
Maruti is eager to invoke his siddhis.
[adventurous music playing]
His eagerness won't last long.
Today, both Maruti and his eagerness will end.
Kaaldanta, will you just talk,
or will you come up with a plan to entrap him?
Just end Maruti's chapter
and send him to Taratal!
[ominous music plays]
[anklets chiming]
[dramatic music playing]
I had a strange feeling.
Maruti!
[wind whooshing]
Now, you will see what I want you to see
and do as I say.
[chortling]
You'll be entrapped by me forever.
[adventurous music playing]
[suspenseful music playing]
[dramatic music playing]
[amusing music playing]
[dreamy music plays]
You seem to be lost.
I want to ask both of you a question.
You've been a part of this gurukul long before I was.
You two must be aware of a place
where we can hide something
and talk freely.
A secret place...
Yes! I know a place.
The old library down the hill.
"Old library!"
[exhilarating music playing]
[ominous music plays]
[suspenseful music playing]
[intriguing music plays]
[ominous music plays]
[dramatic music playing]
This place appears familiar,
but where did I see it?
'Child, you've come in search of the siddhis, correct?'
Can you speak?
'I don't just speak,'
'I can also teach you.'
'I can be your new guru.'
- Guru! '- Yes!'
'You want to invoke your siddhis, right?'
'Do you know the first siddhi?'
What is it?
'Anima!'
"Anima!"
'The power to become smaller than a speck of dust.'
'The knowledge to take the form of an atom.'
Amazing!
I'm ready. Please teach me.
'First, you must take a vow.'
What kind of vow?
'You must promise me'
'that you won't share the knowledge you gain here.'
'You won't reveal it to anyone.'
But my mother says
that knowledge increases when we share it.
'Do you want to invoke siddhis or not?'
'If yes, you must promise me.'
All right. I promise
I won't tell anyone.
It will be between you and me.
[intriguing music plays]
Gurudev warned me against revealing it.
[mumbling]
[coughing]
Who should I tell?
[amusing music playing]
I have an idea.
Greetings, Lord Tree.
Although you're alive,
you don't have a voice.
So, I can share my secret with you.
[joyful music playing]
Wonderful.
As soon as I shared my secret,
I felt relieved.
[joyful music playing]
Yay!
This little Maruti
hid a big secret.
[dreamy music plays]
I bow down to you, Gurudev.
'May God bless you, my child.'
Gurudev, please tell me how to invoke Anima.
I want to shrink to the size of an atom.
'Child, not everyone can do it.'
'It's nearly impossible.'
"Impossible!"
'I have an idea.'
'You can do a month's work within a day.'
Can I do it in one day without doing penance for years?
'One must have willpower to invoke siddhis, not just penance.'
'One must possess the required ability.'
'You shouldn't ask for it, but rather, snatch it.'
But my mother says
that both power and siddhis
can be earned with humility.
We can't get it with force.
Rasha, it's strange.
Maruti went straight into his room after returning from the gurukul.
- He neither spoke to me nor ate food. - Is he all right?
Rasha, I feel restless.
I'm worried sick.
My mother says that a guru's words
are like God's command.
But my mind doesn't agree.
Who should I listen to?
'You must choose'
'between your guru's command'
'and your idealism.'
Mahadeva, what is this?
How could a child be entrusted
with such a huge responsibility?
[adventurous music playing]
I plead with You, Mahadeva. Please guide me.
Maruti!
[suspenseful music playing]
Maruti!
[ominous music plays]
[suspenseful music playing]
Maruti.
He doesn't have a fever.
But there's something fishy.
[dramatic music playing]
'Choose power and become capable.'
My first move hit the target.
Now, it's time for my next attack.
- What is it, my friend? - Kaaldanta.
The second blow is Mahadeva's boon.
This noose.
The only weapon that can tie down an immortal being.
There's one condition though.
The power of this noose
is limited to this cave.
Its power can work only here.
[adventurous music playing]
We must reassure Maruti
that he has earned
his first siddhi, Anima.
After his small win,
someone will call for help.
One of the subjects, a forest dweller,
will seek help.
He will be compelled
to enter this cave.
Once Maruti enters the cave,
he can't return.
As soon as Maruti is caught
in this noose,
he will fall to the bottom of Taratal.
Sure, my friend.
He would neither return,
nor would anyone remember
his existence.
That would be
our second blow!
