Shiv Shakti – Tap Tyaag Tandav
On August 8th, in the episode of “Shiv Shakti – Tap Tyaag Tandav,” Lord Shiv accepts a special power from Sadashiv. Sadashiv informs him that this marks the beginning of a new journey for Shiv Shakti. Jalandhar, witnessing this, orders his soldiers to find Lord Shiv. Meanwhile, soldiers are chasing Mumba, surrounding her from all sides. One soldier tells Mumba to come with him and accept her punishment for chanting “Har Har Mahadev.” Mumba, feeling no devotion towards Jalandhar, refuses to go anywhere. The soldier threatens to take her by force.
Just then, Lord Shiv appears in a human avatar. Mumba and the soldiers see him. Mumba hides behind Lord Shiv and holds his hand. He smiles at her, and they share an intense look. Realizing she is holding his hand, Mumba quickly lets go and asks why he is staring at her instead of saving her from the soldiers. Lord Shiv responds, asking why Shakti needs help from others to protect herself, as all women are embodiments of Shakti. He encourages her to face her enemies. Mumba, frustrated, accuses him of being heartless. Lord Shiv points out the rudraksh in her hands, urging her to realize her own power and use it against the soldiers. He tells her to trust herself and the rudraksh.
One of the soldiers laughs, dismissing the rudraksh as a mere object, claiming that no one’s power can defeat his own. He demands Mumba come with him. Seeking guidance, Mumba asks Lord Shiv what she should do next. He instructs her to attack the soldiers with the rudraksh. When Mumba throws the rudraksh at them, the soldiers lose consciousness. Mumba, overjoyed by the success, smiles.
Lord Shiv, pleased with her triumph, smiles back. Mumba asks how he knew the rudraksh could be used as a weapon. He explains that she is Shakti and the rudraksh is just a tool, asserting that no one can defeat the power of a woman. Curious about his identity, Mumba inquires who he is. Lord Shiv, emotional, nearly reveals his true identity but stops, telling her his name is Babun. Mumba, sensing his goodness, accepts his help.
Babun then asks why the soldiers were chasing her. Mumba recounts the events and chants “Har Har Mahadev,” explaining how it brought her peace and love. She asks Babun about Mahadev, who recalls his past. Mumba presses him to tell her about Mahadev. Babun, wiping away tears without her noticing, admits he knows about Mahadev but refrains from revealing more. The episode concludes with Babun and Mumba standing together, hinting at the start of a new chapter in their journey.
