Welcome to Batukeshwar Reflections, a thread dedicated to creating imaginary extensions of the story line. Feel free to contribute since it's open floors. It doesn't have to be attached to the previous story line!
Anth Hi Aarambh Hai - The Origin
Bhatukeshwar Maharaja: Hear from me now, the secret of the creation.
Eons ago, when the universe and creation was enshrouded in complete darkness, a small spark of energy floated throughout the cosmos. The glories of the spark are many, but I expect you the following three things: It's a spark, it's energy, and it's floating.
Now this floating spark of energy, sprinkled and sparkled with energy as it floated around the universe searching for another spark. When none were found, the spark decided to expand itself into another spark. The process of that itself is very difficult for anyone to comprehend, but there is a secret ritual that is known to only a few. Fortunately, I am one of those few, but I cannot tell you under the laws of param existence.
In the end, from the spark there burst out a column of indescribable breadth, width, length, diameter, and other terms of measurement. From this supreme pillar, a sound radiated out, echoing throughout the empty universe.
D: But Guruji, how can echoes exist in nothingness?
BM: That is a wise question young one, I am very pleased with your response. Hear from me know, the secrets of this echo.
As you know, echoes are sound waves that bounce off of objects, and in the case of the universal creation, there was nothing for the sound waves to bounce off. At least, that is what unintelligible fools would believe.
A sound wave oscillates in a sine-pattern for the most part, but there are a few select words that oscillate per cosine. These select words are what enabled the sound waves to reach across the universe echoing. However, they came at an unfortunate cost.
As you may be very well aware of - the secret words of the universe are "Anth Hi Aarambh Hai", which means that the end is the beginning. However, as the sounds echoed throughout the empty cosmos, the syllables changed and formed a new meaning:
Hai Rambhaa Hi Anth
Notice the pattern? It's backwards. Anth Hi Aarambh Hai --- Hai Rambhaa Hi Anth.
Thus, the universe was created through Rambhaa, who, as we know is a divine apsara in the courtroom of Dev Indra. But it took a while for the truth to come out, and that's why Rambhaa was pretty much replaced by Urvashi and why no one is named Rambhaa.
Alright, where was I? Right, the pillar of light. So the vibrations of Anth Hi Aarambh Haisurrounded the universe and at each point of intersection of the two sound waves, a light glowed. When the light dots were connected, the meditating form of Mahadev was formed, together with the snake Vasuki, his trident, and his third eye. And that gave shape to the actual pure white form of Shankar himself!
Other connected lights formed the other Tri Devs -- together with their shapes and forms (4 heads for Brahma, 4 arms for Vishnu, etc.).
Anyway, that's how the TriDevs appeared. Anth Hi Aarambh Hai is a very powerful mantra of creation, but at the same time it allows an individual to comprehend the microscopic details of the universe.
D: But Guruji, did something exist before that? If the end is the beginning, why is the beginning not the actual beginning?
BM: Very intelligent question. See, when there was darkness in the world, it didn't mean that the world had ended and was starting again.
D: Then why "Anth Hi Aarambh Hai?"
BM: Maybe --
D: What if the sound waves vibrated "Hai Rambhaa Hi Anth", warning us that Rambhaa and anyone who shared that name regardless of gender, was a threat to our peaceful existence.
BM: Well ... Can you prove that?
D: Of course I can. The sound is a prediction of what is to come, which implies that there is a need to create to protect and warn.
BM: But if there was a need to warn, why create? Why not just be done?
D: That must mean that Rambhaa is actually stronger than the creation and the creator. The spark of light's origin must have come from Rambhaa.
BM: The Apsara?
D: Yes, no, maybe so?
BM: So then is Rambhaa currently existing?
D: Most definitely yes, but most probably no.
BM: What kind of answer is that?
D: It's an intelligent answer. I don't know, but if I say "I don't know", I appear to be stupid.
BM: So is this something we should fear?
D: Of course it is. Rambhaa must be feared otherwise it will destroy us.
BM: But what is Rambhaa? We need to figure that out first. /
D: I have an answer to that as well.
BM: Then why are you going in circles?
D: Circles are a paradox of it's own. It's impossible to draw a perfect circle, hence the representation that a circle may not exist, while existing.
BM: OKay ...
D: If we look at Rambhaa we have Ram and Bhaa. Ram is not Vishnu avatar, Raghunandana because the pronunciation is different (Raam vs. Ram). So we can assume that Ram is the animal. Bhaa is a tricky one. Bhaa must be the sound it produces. RamBhaa is obvious this ram demon of sorts.
BM: Okay.
D: So we must be on the lookout for any Ram demons that go "bhaa" for surely that is the end of us all.

Author's note: This isn't really connected to the serial except for the signature catchphrase of Mahadev and the tag line of the show. Hope you enjoyed it!
