[ululating]
'He was not entitled only to your love, Goddess.'
'He was my son, too.'
'You killed him despite that.'
'It's true that I recognised him.'
[music playing]
But, he couldn't recognise me despite my attempts.'
[music playing]
'Fathers teach their children to walk.'
[music playing]
'But my hands...'
'He got killed at my hands.'
[music playing]
'I was compelled.'
'Really?'
'Who can dare, Lord Shiva?'
'Who compelled you?'
[music playing]
'Our son.'
[thundering]
[music playing]
'This... This is not possible.'
'You had accused me'
'and asked if I am capable of anything but beheading?'
'I've never beheaded anyone for the sake of it.'
'The motive has always been to destroy the arrogance.'
[music playing]
'Whether it is Lord Brahma'
'or King Daksh.'
[music playing]
'Our son had become arrogant too.'
[song playing]
'His arrogance'
'had trapped him in the darkness of ignorance.'
[song playing]
'Nandi, Shringi, Lord Indra'
'even Lord Brahma'
'and Lord Vishnu'
'tried to tell him about me.'
[song playing]
'But he never tried to listen to them'
'or understand.'
[music playing]
[giggles]
'Go and see your reflection in the water.'
'You look like a mendicant or an impressionist.'
'Child! You're crossing your limits.'
'When arrogance had consumed the mind and wisdom'
'he had cut off Lord Brahma's head.
'Such is our Lord.'
'Lord Brahma'
'To advise me'
'or punish me, you have no rights.'
'Have you forgotten your arrogance?'
'Child, you must not speak like that.'
'What I must say or not say'
'is not for you to dictate.'
[music playing]
'But, why?'
'Why did this happen?'
[music playing]
'Goddess.'
'You conceived him.'
'And you gave him love.'
'But you didn't get a chance to teach him values.'
[song playing]
'Without values'
'it was not possible to eradicate the arrogance.'
'He was so caught up in his powers'
'that he couldn't hear his conscience.'
[music playing]
'Had he tried, he would've understood'
'that we'
'are not separate entities.'
[song playing]
'We were one.'
[song playing]
'Every being on this planet'
'holds me as their conscience within.'
'Anyway'
'Shiva and Shakti are not separate.'
[song playing]
Not only that child
every being has Shiva and Shakti within them.
But as long as the mind is consumed by arrogance
it is trapped in the illusion of self-importance.
The truth remains unrealised
that it is useless to get attached to the physical body
because a God and his devotee
the soul and supreme consciousness is one.
Sage, how can ordinary beings find God within ourselves?
For mortal beings, to focus their mind
and unite with the God within
the easiest way is to chant God's name.
To meditate.
Meditation brings you closer to your conscience.
And this practice
brings you closer to God.
What was Goddess' response to Lord Shiva?
Did she agree with him?
This question was haunting all the gods present there
and Lord Vishnu too.
[rumbling]
'It's sad.'
'But this is the truth, O Goddess.'
[song playing]
'Our son had become so arrogant'
'that the truth was in front of him'
'but he could not see'
'hear or experience it.'
'He was only blabbering.'
[song playing]
'To destroy his arrogance, I had to behead him.'
[song playing]
[conch blows]
'Now you will bring him back to life, Lord Shiva.'
'It was necessary for my son's arrogance to be destroyed.'
'But, to destroy his existence'
'is not acceptable to me.'
'Punishment is needed.'
'But compassion is mandatory.'
[song playing]
'Everybody must get a chance to rectify their errors.'
'My son will not be denied.'
'You will have to bring him back to life.'
'If you're the father'
'then I'm the mother of this universe.'
'I'm the mother!'
[ululating]
'If the mother is not happy'
'then the universe will drown in sorrow.'
'If you wish'
'for life on the planet to prosper'
'and creatures remain happy'
'then you will have to return my son to me, Lord.'
[music playing]
'So be it.'
'You will get your son back.'
[music playing]
'He will be free of arrogance'
'the epitome of wisdom'
'and complete with knowledge.'
[music playing]
[song playing]
'You're great, O Goddess.'
[music playing]
[song playing]
'I have limited time, Sage.'
'I want to know.'
'If Goddess Parvati had to bring everyone back to life'
'then why did she swallow the gods?'
'Because our culture'
'and our way of life is unique, Garud.'
'To show compassion'
'and to punish, we don't need different entities.'
'A mother who punishes her child for his mistakes'
'also shows compassion when the errors are rectified.'
[music playing]
[song playing]
'Goddess.'
'Trust me.'
'Sage Narada had blessed your son for long life.'
'You're aware'
'that a sage's blessing'
'never goes wasted.'
'As special as his birth is'
'his life will be equally special.'
'I'm sure that'
'his life'
'will be interesting and long.'
[song playing]
'Your grief is unimaginable.'
[song playing]
'Goddess and Lord Shiva.'
[song playing]
'To bring him back to life'
'how can I help?'
[song playing]
'To watch his innocent, and smiling face'
'I will do my best.'
'It's not possible.'
[music playing]
'What do you mean, Lord Shiva?'
'You just told me that you will bring my son back to life.'
'Your son will come back to life, Parvati.'
'My promise is not false.'
'But he can't get his head back.'
[music playing]
'His head has been destroyed by my 'Trishul'.'
'As per the laws of existence'
'anything that gets destroyed by my 'Trishul''
'can't come back to life.'
[song playing]
'I know that it's useless to be attached to the physical body.'
'Still, it's impossible for me to imagine him differently.'
'Whose head will you give?'
'How will he look?'
'Will his face'
'rekindle my love for him?'
[song playing]
'Will his face be so attractive?'
'Will he be able to mesmerise everyone?'
'Goddess.'
'Trust Lord Shiva. He is the father.'
'He will do the best for him.'
[song playing]
'Yes, Parvati.'
'We must have faith.'
'We must stand strong.'
'So that Lord Shiva can focus.'
[song playing]
'Parvati, let's go.'
'Come on.'
[music playing]
'Lord Shiva.'
'What do we do now?'
'We will cleanse the corpse of this child'
'and prepare it to accept a new head.'
'Lord Indra.'
'You and your community of gods'
'arrange for a head'
'that can be fit on his body.'
[music playing]
'Look in the North. You shall succeed.'
'But remember'
'to bring me the head of a child'
'whose mother is sleeping carefree.'
'You're great, O Lord.'
'I'll take your leave, Lord Shiva.'
[music playing]
'Why did Lord Shiva ask for a child's head'
'whose mother is sleeping carefree?'
'Because a baby needs much more than mother's love, Garud.'
'To remain alive, he requires his mother's care'
'attention and a safe environment.'
'If a newborn is unattended by his mother'
'then the child will not survive.'
[music playing]
'Who was that kid?'
'Where was he found?'
[music playing]
'There is no mother like that amidst humans'
'who is carefree of her baby.'
'Where will I find a kid like this?'
[music playing]
[song playing]
'Time is fleeting.'
'I haven't found the ideal kid yet.'
'I have already hurt Goddess Parvati once.'
'By returning empty-handed'
'I can't hurt her again.'
'But as per Lord Shiva's instruction.'
'where do I find such a kid?'
[music playing]
'I just hope'
'that the gods find the head of a baby'
'whose mother is lying in the opposite direction.'
'If Goddess Parvati gets furious again'
'then the world will be destroyed.'
