Just can not bear it! - Page 3

With due respect to Sakteya versions adopted by UN for this show as I mentioned in my main post I can not bear to see Siva falling unconcious to be redeemed by Mahakali or Tara. By the way I know Tara's story as I wrote it in my Dasa Maha vidyas post. Tara holding Siva on her lap etc.. I read.

But as a strict Siva devotee I can't bear to see my Shiv helpless...

He is Sadashiv who is Anadi Sourceless. He is self born..The ultimate reality..

So I am not interested in UN's versions ..

I can rejoice reminiscing my Nila kanth Mahadev stand firm despite swallowing poison with graceful Adisakti Parvati by his side admiringly looking at him by placing her hand on his neck thereby stopping the poison to go down and harm the creation. It was beautifully shot in that show which incidentally was written by UN only. The moment I must admit won my heart..just validating what my dadi narrated to me in my childhood...

@bold,I understand your feelings very well.😭I had gone through a similar experience when I had to see Mata Parvati who is Adi Parashakti,the Mother Of The Universe,The Supreme One losing her memory so that Mahadev can bring it back.It broke my heart to see her Dasamahavidyas leaving her because she had forgotten Mahadev.It hurt me so much to see Jagadamba behave like an insecure wife jealous of Minakshi.My heart bled when I saw Maa Parvati going on a cursing spree after losing Kartikeya only so that Mahadev can correct her.I couldn't bear it when I saw Maa Durga apologising to Mahadev after killing Mahishasur😲I can't describe how shattered I was after watching it

And it was written by the same UN.

The Maa Tara version of the story shown in MK is in authentic sources atleast but what he showed over there was purely his imagination.

I feel for you my dear that you had to undergo this trauma of watching your aaradhya faint.I am sure not only me but many people can understand you since we were subjected to a greater torture by UN in his previous venture.Hope ShivShakti grant you the strength to bear this!!

Agree the reason for frustration differs depending upon tastes and priorities.

As a dedicated follower of Sivpuran Tara'sstory that can not find a place there wont appeal to me at all...authentic source? I think UN mainly takes resort to Sakteya versions and folklore.

By the way the incidents you mentioned above did not shatter me like the one I mentioned in my main post.( Siva falling down) . But luckily for me having seen the precap only I decided to skip the episode and I did.. So peaceful and happy no need to watch my Aradhya faint and get depressed. Shiv Sakti guided me well.

The incidents mentioned above( by you ) are tolerable for me ..reasons

The loss of memory of Adisakti lead to Instruction of Yoga by Mahadev to her.. Ashtanga yoga it was passed on to mankind and Mata is the medium. So it is ok. At the end of that track a dialogue between Shiv Parvati reveals the intention behind the memory loss. To grace the people with Yoga awareness. Fine..for me.

Next jealousy is a beautiful emotion that is a mark of excessive love. Khud goddesses are also prone to it. Mahalakshmi feels jealous of Padmavati and Venkateswar ( Lord Balaji) becomes a Silavigrah .. The great Tirupati comes into existence.

Draupadi who is Swarga Lakshmi feels jealous of Subhadra...

Parvati feeling jealous of Ganga also is found in Puranas.

So not only human beings goddesses also are not above such feelings.. So it is acceptable for me.

Parvati's curses during Kartikeya story are authentic... She cursed the gods to be childless as per Valmiki Ramayan. Similarly other curses also have sources.. So again acceptable.

But what is not at all fine for me is the way Mahakali is shown intruding every where.. Even during Tarakasur vadh, always Parvati chanting Mai manushya hun, treating Anthak as her son which is false,deciding Ganesh as the winner again untrue... I can't even sum up the unreasonable tracks and versions.. Only excuse! Ofcourse they are there in folk lore... UN's favourite playground.

So it's ok.. And I knew we all have different perspectives..different takes..

And thanks for your concern. But after surviving the attack of UN in Surya Putr Karn I can survive anything else..

@bold,You are the follower of the Shiv Puraan which is why you are accustomed to one version of the story.Similarly the followers of the Devi Puraan or those who grew up listening to another version of the story.What you don't find authentic is authentic as per the Shakta versions.Similarly the versions in Shiv Puraan are considered to be unauthenticated by the Devi Puraan followers.

These episodes really are absurd. I had a doubt ? Is it possible that the vish could have killed Mahadev who is yhefather of the universe itself ?

Anyway the vision if Mahadev lying dead was really absurd.

this is interesting, anyway, this show is a shakt/tantra scripture based show, which is also mixed with other stories from other puranas as well as the writers imagination. this particular story is from the sthalapurana of tarapeeth which is the siddhapeeth of ugratara. anyway, the story of dhumavati is yet to be shown.

maharaj bali aur rahu kidhar hain?

Hi all,

Watched both the epis, but not continuously :

1. Did they show Andhak being dropped dead by Indra's vajra?
because I saw him being revived by Shukracharya...

Is that even possible ... 😕 (I mean the drop dead part)


2. For a serial that purports to try and show "nari shakti"
etc etc, some of the dialogues ...!!!

Why say "Stree Ahum"? is that different from "Purush Ahum"
Ego is ego, whether in man or woman. Why put it in such
a very dated way ... gives a very regressive feeling ..
And to top it all it is a dialogue written for Narayan !!!

Hated the way they characterised the Goddesses Laxmi
and Saraswati for this episode. Saraswati of course was
worse off.

But have to say that the acting by Nikita (did I get the actor's name right)
was very good. She portrayed the discomfort, the disquiet, the acceptance
of misjudgment, very well. 👏 For once, I liked her portrayal of Goddess
Laxmi - though I did not like the content.

I know there are many folk tales about petty squables,
but ... really ... do they have to ... 😡 can't even put it in polite words...


3. Next is the Matangi avatar ... but as far as I can
remember this avatar appeared at the time of the actual
food being dropped/wasted ... right?

Did they mix up the Annapoorna and Matangi stories ... the story
of Annapoorna that I remember has the Goddess leaving Kailash
with her Kitchen ... and then the famous Annapoorna Kitchen in
Kashi ... Very beautiful and meaningful story.

Arguments between deities are NOT folk tales. Perhaps I'm reading too much into it, but it almost seems as if people believe folk tales are secondary to the Vedas. I'm sorry, but that's pure arrogance. It's fine if people subscribe to a specific branch of worship or denomination; Hinduism isn't like other religions, in that it's too multifaceted and complex to be called a religion.
