'These mothers are not only teaching them to survive'
'but also how to face challenges in life.'
'Why would they want to separate from their child?'
'But if we don't find a mother like that'

'I found that kid'
'whose mother is carefree about him.'
'But what is this?'
'Is it right to choose this elephant's calf?'
'If Lord Ganesha's head'
'is replaced by an elephant head'
'is that even possible?'
[trumpets]
'Don't be doubtful, Lord Indra.'
'This calf has a short life.'
'In the sense'

'An elephant head.'
'Lord Shiva, this head'
'who will put it in place?'
'Apart from the Ashvins'
'nobody is capable of doing it, Lord Brahma.'
'They have studied medicine'

Your command shall be obeyed, O Lord.

'Everybody tried to make me understand'

'Like a fool, I disrespected you so much.'
'Forgive me, Father.'
'Don't make your present miserable by thinking about the past, Son.'
'Filled with humility'
'this is your new life.'
'You're wiser now.'
[music playing]
'The creator of this universe'

'Whose head will it be on my son?'

'When she sees that his head is not of a human'
'but an elephant'
'how will she feel?'
'How will she react?'
'If she doesn't accept this child in his new form'
'then he will be so hurt.'
[music playing]
'Parvati, what happened?'
'I'm feeling so restless, Lakshmi.'
'You're a mother.'
'In this situation, feeling anxious'
'is normal, Parvati.'
'But I believe'
'that when you see your child's face'
'your anxiety'
'and fear'
'will prove useless.'
[music playing]
'When he calls out to you'
'you will forget everything.'
'Everything.'
'Mother.'
'Son.'
'Lord Shiva, where is my son?'
[conch blows]

[music playing]
'On seeing her child's new face, Goddess Parvati'

'Mother, why are you crying? What happened?'
[music playing]
'My fear is coming true.'
'Goddess Parvati didn't accept her son's new face.'
'What is this? Goddess Parvati has turned away from her son.'
'I hope she doesn't get furious again.'
But, Sage
Goddess Parvati's son came back to life.
What could be happier than that?
Then why did Goddess Parvati
not accept Ganesha's new form?
[music playing]
Because memories do that to you.
When someone is lost in the past
the past seems better than the present.
Goddess Parvati was having the same experience.
How did she overcome it?
For Goddess Parvati
to accept her son in his new form
the child had to recognise his new form
and accept it wholeheartedly.
This was mandatory.
[music playing]
'Mother.'
'Parvati.'
'Why is she alone? Where is the kid?'
[music playing]
'This is the new face.'
'That's why she is silent.'
'On seeing her son's new form, Goddess Parvati'
'is upset.'
'When she realises'
'that I brought this head for her son'
'what will the consequences be?'
'Accept my greetings.'
'Are you upset with me, Mother?'
'Mother, why did you walk away from me?'
'Mother, why are you looking away?'
'Did I make a mistake?'
