Shiv Shakti – Tap Tyaag Tandav
On August 2nd, an intense episode of “Shiv Shakti – Tap Tyaag Tandav” unfolded. The story began with the asurs fleeing Kailash, fearing for their lives. Jalandhar, their leader, commanded them to stop running. Mahishaasur speculated that Lord Shiv and Mata Parvati had escaped Kailash. Jalandhar agreed, mocking the idea that the divine couple was scared of him. He vowed to find them no matter what.
Shiv Shakti – Greater purpose behind his actions
Meanwhile, Shukracharya informed everyone that Lord Shiv and Mata Parvati had indeed left Kailash. This news shocked the Devas and Goddesses. Ragu suggested that the divine couple had fled in fear. However, Lord Narayan dismissed this idea as foolish. He reminded everyone of the miracles that occurred whenever Lord Shiv left Kailash, indicating there was always a greater purpose behind his actions.
Shiv Shakti – Mahishaasur taunted Lord Shiv
In another scene, Lord Shiv told Mata Parvati that they needed to head to the ocean. Just then, Mahishaasur confronted them, boasting that he wouldn’t let them escape. He taunted Lord Shiv, claiming he was powerless without his weapon. When Mahishaasur attempted to attack, Lord Shiv easily thwarted him, declaring he alone was enough to defeat the asurs. Mata Parvati echoed his sentiment, stating that falsehood could never triumph over truth. When Mahishaasur tried to attack her, Lord Shiv’s fury grew, and he hurled Mahishaasur away. The defeated asur screamed for Jalandhar, who heard his cry and began searching for him.
Lord Shiv and Mata Parvati eventually reached the ocean. Lord Shiv explained that Mata Parvati needed to change her form for the well-being of the universe. He told her they had to separate to find a solution to defeat Jalandhar. Mata Parvati, distressed, asked if there was no other way. Lord Shiv sadly confirmed there wasn’t, expressing his own sorrow over their impending separation. He emphasized that they couldn’t ignore the importance of Tap, Tyaag, and Tandav. He comforted her, urging her to fulfill her duty before Jalandhar arrived, and said she would find the answer within the ocean.
As Mata Parvati prepared to enter the ocean, her dress got caught in Lord Shiv’s rudramala. He gently freed it. When she bent to seek his blessings, he stopped her, asserting they were equals and that her place was always in his heart. He reassured her that they would always be one, no matter what. Both were in tears as she moved towards the ocean, with a sad version of the title song playing in the background.
Mata Parvati paused to look back at Lord Shiv before continuing towards the ocean, recalling his words about finding the answer to Jalandhar’s destruction within its depths. She entered the ocean, and as she did, it began to rain. She looked back once more, thinking it was time to say goodbye. The episode concluded on this emotional note.
