[music playing]
Over these years
[song playing]
you have cried a lot, Vinta.
[music playing]
Hand over your sorrows to me.
'In the end, Kadru realised her mistake.'
'She also repents it.'
Don't say that, Kadru.
It was God's will so far
and it will be God's will in the future too.
You're aware, Kadru
that even a leaf can't move without his will.
Don't hurt yourself by feeling guilty about the past.
Without being forgiven by Garud and you
I won't be able to do it, Vinta.
[music playing]
Kadru.
Mother never blamed you.
[song playing]
And if it's about me
then you're like my mother.
If I have hurt you unknowingly
and caused you pain
then I ask for your forgiveness.
I was so bad to you
and didn't respect the fact that we're family.
I made you my slave and was ruthless.
Yet neither of you wish to punish
or take revenge.
[music playing]
Do you know
why this happened, Kadru?
Devotees who
are focused on their devotion
no vengeful thought
can take over their mind.
[music playing]
Come, Kadru.
[music playing]
'As soon as Lord Ganesha entered Vinta's palace'
'the sisters have bonded again.'
'This is Lord Ganesha's will.'
'As soon as he enters your life'
'he takes away all the suffering.'
'Truly, Vinta has such a big heart.'
'Kadru has been so ruthless to her.'
'Yet, Vinta, without holding a grudge'
'forgave her.'
[song playing]
[music playing]
Kadru.
Don't worry.
Today, we have the reincarnation of Lord Vishnu
Nara and Narayana
who will narrate the birth of Lord Ganesha
and his greatness.
[music playing]
This will be a remarkable experience, Kadru.
O, Lord.
Did you hear that? Nara and Narayana
that is, Lord Vishnu's reincarnation
are going to narrate my son's story.
[music playing]
Truly, Uncle!
There can be no better gift than this.
[music playing]
[conch blows]
O, Sage!
I wish to know a lot about Lord Ganesha.
Why does he have an elephant face?
Mother had told me that
even Lord Shiva
couldn't recognise him at birth.
Also
why is he worshipped first?
Remover of obstacles.
Why is he called that? I want to know everything.
I also want to find out how Mushak became his vehicle.
Why is he offered the Bermuda grass
and "Modak"?
All your questions will be answered today, Garud.
[music playing]
Along with that
all of us will receive
the solution to many of our problems in life.
Hence, all of you
must concentrate
and listen to Lord Ganesha's story.
[music playing]
In reality, Lord Ganesha is the supreme ruler
which means the power of the cosmos
that operates the world.
He is born in every period.
Today, I will narrate the story
of Parvati's son, Ganesha
which begins
before Lord Ganesha's birth.
[music playing]
Before his birth?
I didn't know this.
Time has been divided into periods.
In this creation
there are many worlds.
[music playing]
[conch blows]
In each world, life
is similar to
this world.
The period differs
from one world to another.
So
each world
is in a different period.
If something comes to an end in one world
in the other world
it might be the start of it.
[music playing]
Once upon a time
Goddess Parvati saw
Lord Vishnu in
Lord Krishna avatar
and was smitten by his childhood.
She was impressed.
That mischievous, prodigy kid
and his deeds
had rekindled the desire of motherhood
in Goddess Parvati.
[music playing]
[song playing]
Parvati!
For whom are you making these clothes?
For my son, O Lord. Who else?
But Karthikeya is a warrior.
How can he wear this instead of armour?
Karthikeya was
born as a warrior, O Lord.
I couldn't enjoy his childhood.
[music playing]
But when I saw Goddess Devaki
and Yashoda, after Lord Krishna's bir
enjoy his childhood experiences
it rekindled my desire too.
Like Lord Vishnu's avatar
I wish for a child like Lord Krishna.
Someone I can play with.
I want to sing lullabies for him, O Lord.
[sighs]
Basking in motherhood
I wish to experience the pleasure.
I haven't been fortunate to get it yet.
[music playing]
Then you must observe the fast.
'By observing the fast, Goddess Parvati'
'can have the child she desires.'
Fast?
[music playing]
Why are you suddenly upset?
When I had wished for you to be my husband
I had meditated for hundred years.
[music playing]
To have a son
do I have to wait so long, O Lord?
It is an auspicious fast, Goddess.
By observing it, Lord Vishnu
will be highly impressed.
[music playing]
I'm sure
that if you observe it with a pure heart
then your wish shall be fulfilled soon.
Then I will begin preparation.
Parvati!
[music playing]
Yes, Lord.
For a newborn
isn't it slightly big?
[music playing]
If your wish
is to have a heavy kid, then it might be fine.
[laughs]
It's a mother's affection, O Lord.
You won't understand. [laughs]
[song playing]
Praise be to Lord Shiva!
When a new life is born
somewhere, death is inevitable.
Similarly
waiting for their time
two demons residing in hell
whose personalities were poles apart
as per their trend, for their selfish motive
were preparing to destroy the world.
On one side, Goddess Parvati
was going to observe a fast to have a son.
[music playing]
On the other hand
demons Gajmukhasur and Gajasur
were meditating to get Lord Shiva's attention.
Praise be to Lord Shiva!
To live a peaceful and happy life
all that is required
the demons were more prosperous than that.
Gajmukhasur liked to live in dirty places
and eat snails.
Gajasur loved gold.
Despite getting everything as they wished
they weren't happy.
They used to compare themselves to Lord Indra and other gods.
They wanted to rule Swargalok.
Despite their repeated defeat
they decided to impress Lord Shiva.
[music playing]
Parvati.
[music playing]
Nandi.
I'm going to prepare for the fast.
- Don't allow anyone to come here. - Yes, Mother.
[music playing]
Praise be to Lord Vishnu!
[music playing]
Lord Shiva is coming.
The goddess has asked me to not allow anyone
to enter inside.
But how can I stop him?
[music playing]
Praise be to Lord Vishnu!
Parvati.
Goddess Parvati.
[music playing]
O, Lord!
Goddess Parvati.
I have to visit a devotee.
You will get engrossed in your fast later
so I thought of meeting you before I leave.
When will you return?
God is driven by the devotee's motive.
I can't say for sure.
[music playing]
'When my worship is over'
'Lord Shiva won't be here with me.'
[music playing]
How will I have a son?
Nandi.
Nandi!
[music playing]
I told you
not to allow anyone inside.
Why did you allow Lord Shiva to come in?
Goddess.
How can I stop him?
He is my Lord.
[music playing]
'Nandi is Lord Shiva's devotee.'
'He is the Lord of all Shiva devotees.'
'They are his devotees!'
'There must be someone in Kailash'
'who belongs to me.'
'Someone who is mine'
'and will solely obey me.'
[music playing]
Little did Goddess Parvati know
that her desire
will put her son's life
in danger.
[music playing]
Until now, I believed
that I know my birth story
hence I was excited to hear it.
But these new stories
have increased my excitement!
I want to hear this story too, Mother.
[music playing]
'This is not high enough.'
'I have to go higher.'
'I have to find a spot in solitude'
'where gods, demons
humans, celestial beings, or any other being
don't interrupt my meditation.
[music playing]
'Praise be to Lord Vishnu.'
'Praise be to Lord Shiva.'
[music playing]
Salutations, O Lord.
I'm impressed by your meditation, Gajmukhasur.
[music playing]
Ask me.
What is your wish?
You can ask anything but immortality.
[music playing]
That's acceptable, O Lord.
Grant me the boon of being killed only
by someone whose birth is only because of his mother.
[music playing]
Praise be to Lord Vishnu.
His father should've cut his head
and fixed it back.
Praise be to Lord Vishnu.
Someone
whose body will be normal
but his head
will be that of an elephant.
[music playing]
'There is no creature like this'
'and will never be born.'
'So, I will, forever'
'become immortal.'
'If this is destiny, then so be it.'
'Any creature born'
'has to die.'
And Gajmukhasur's end
was destined before the boon was granted.
