Devon Ke Dev…Mahadev 12th August 2012 Written Update

Nandi departing from Indra and Naradji slightly taunting Indra..that Shivji’s marriage is not only for Devas..but for the betterment of the world…Indra ofcourse agrees to it..but as usual his one track mind is still on the fact that it is time to be free of Tarkasur and ShivParvati’s son to arrive in the world (Selfish Paragon!!! I tell you…I have begun to hate him now)

Mahadev is sitting on a stage like formation and Himalaya is doing his pooja…(Groom worship)
The Pandit (He is Maharishi Garg..and he is asking such questions) asking Mahadev for his Gotra…dont you know the last person to talk about Gotras was turned into a Goat???
Naradjji tells Maharishi Garg, who asked this GREAT MAHAN Question that Mahadev is ‘Sanaatan’ and he is defined and born out of OM…and that is why his Gotra is OM!!!! Mahadev smiles on as his pooja is being done…
Himalaya asks Shivji to wait in the Groom room (Rhyming hai na??) as the Vadhu pooja (Bride worshipping) is to be done and tells him to send the material for Vadhupooja…Nandi is all haywire thinking what will happen?? as they have not brought anything for his Maata…Mahadev retires to his room…

Parvati is now being worshipped and Naani sends the two friends of Parvati to get the things for Bride worshipping from the Groom’s room…
Nandi tries to stop them but they actually barge in and start randomly addressing the empty room, asking for the things for Vadhupooja (Bride Worship) …and then realizing that Shivji is not there…run from there to announce in teh middle of the room that the groom has gone missing…(Jaya Vijaya are really dumb friends na…Bhagwaan kissi ko aise dost na de…I mean who in their right minds would announce that THE GROOM IS MISSING right in the middle of the bride ceremony and a room full of people!!!) and Naani starts cursing Shivji…saying that Vairagis are fleeing experts…and Maina again on her original track..ranting how Shivji was always ineligible for her daughter and blah blah…(Arrey bhai…he might have just gone to visit the Loo…for God’s sake…Stop being so dramatic..)…Everybody looking at Vishnuji who is standing there..unperturbed and smiling as always..

Just then Nandi comes shouting ‘Maatey Maatey!!!’ and with tear filled eyes and folded hands he just stands there…and Maina again starting her nonsense rant…

Vishnuji (FInally) speaks up…and says that that they all had insisted that he rests in the Groom room…he must be there…Jaya Vijaya say that they have searched for him everywhere (Jhoot bole…kaunwa kaatey…somebody get me a big black crow so that I can send it across and behind these two…you just had talked to his AASAN about the things for the Vadhupooja…and then ran off shouting ‘Missing missing’…” When did you ACTUALLY search…???)

Vishnuji and Parvati share an eyelock and Parvati understands ..She tells the whole ranting crowd that it might be difficult for her Swami to just let go of his Vairagi life and get into the rituals of the world…she will go and explain that to him…

Parvati in the Groom room and sees the Rudraksh necklace lying on the aasan where Shiv is supposed to be sitting (And the background music of KarpurGauram starts…) She picks up the necklace and starts crying as to what kind of exam is he taking of her (PArvatiii…dont cry please…we are just too happy for your marriage right now…) …
Mahadev comes from behind and says that he has not gone anywhere..and he had just gone to procure the proof of his love…
Parvati asks for details ( Elo..there your mother and Naani are bahoing gallons of water, giving competition to your sister, Ganga in matters of water capacity, and you are all for asking reasons ??? baad mein pucch lo)

But Mahadev is forever patient and opens a small bundle with the ornaments and says that he had gone to get them for her ritual of Vadhu pooja …Parvati tells him that they are beautiful but where did he get them from (Abhi se Wifeygiri shuru…how ? what ? when??? where???)He said that he actually borrowed Gold from Kuber and extracted pearls from the ocean (Ok…I will not laugh but still …will anybody tell me how did he MAKE the ornaments out if it??? Mahadev Mahdev *shakes her head*…I now know how come “I will get moon and stars for you’ is a famous pick up line…)

But still..he was so sweet…when he was explaining that to Parvati…as if at complete loss to explain his love..but trying his best..in that cool and calm manner…that was soo sweet…

And they turn and BHAM!! the whole family is standing there,,,(Privacy naam ki toh cheez hi nahi…And Maina is complaining how Parvati will survive on Himalayas where there is no castle and rooms…well she will not have that much of difficulty will she now??)

Maina gets flashbacks of her bitter words and repents..she apologizes before Mahadev…she accepts that it is her being human that actually did not make her see beyond his appearances…
Naanii accepts that she is ‘Sathiya Gai in her budhapa’ I mean she accepts that she went on lashing without even acknowledging what she was knowing..and she was sorry…(Wah Wah..the sanest thing I have head from you naani!!)
And then Maina…(I will always remain thankful to Maina for this)…says that she wants Mahadev to get married in his own ‘Swaroop’ ,,that swaroop which is his favourite and which made Parvati fall in love with him (Oh…THANK GOD!! I so CRAVE to see Mahadev in that..)

Nandi gets FBs of Rishi Durvaasa and his curse…that Mahadev’s orignal Swaroop will never marry Parvati…
Shivji bows to Maina’s wishes… (Owww…shiva Shiva instrumental playing…sounded so appropriate!)

And then we have the grandest of Mandap…with lakhs of people gathered…but a simple Vedic Agni…and Shivji along with Himavan and all entering…they do the preliminary pooja…

and then the moment comes…’Kanya Padharo Savdhan’ and Shivji actually went Savdhaan…So mesmerized he is by his bride walking towards him..and he stands up…and so does the entire clan…

Himavan makes them make the request to Gods to make them one…Himavan and maina perform the rituals of the parent…Vishnuji acting as a brother puts grains in Parvati’s hands which are supported by Shivji from underneath (Gosh Hats off to the CVs for this…they did not show him standing on her side…but behind her..engulfing her in his embrace as if…Gosh this has to be my favourite scene…till date!!!)…Together they both put the grains in the holy fire…

THE PAANI GRAHAN SANSKAR!!!

Shivji puts his palm in Parvati’s and Vishnuji pours water in his palm…they both are looking at each other, and not even removing his sight from her face for a second…he pours the water in her hand …and closes her palm with his…he tells her that he has accepted her hand in marriage and she has been given to him by Vishnu and other Devtas..and he will take care of her..and their love will shine through centuries..and tells her that let us be one…so that their strength will unite…(beautiful scene!!)

The panditji tells them to move the black stone…and Parvati puts her foot on it…Shivji tells her…(holding her from the shoulders from behinds) that in the same manner she will crush the enemies that will rise against her…

The Saat Pheras

They take The Seven Pheras…the first four being led by Parvati..and the last three by the Groom…(Beautiful bG music…Wonderful and absolutely appropriate)
Then they sit for Saptapadi…The Vows Ceremony!!

Precap : Shiv Parvati taking vows of Ceremony..
