'''''Devon Ke Dev...Mahadev''''' is a [[Hindu]] spiritual television [[drama series]] which airs on [[Life OK]] channel. It premiered on 18&nbsp;December, 2011 and showcases the story of Lord [[Shiva]], also called as Mahadev.

The drama is inspired by the works of [[Devdutt Pattanaik]]. The story has been researched from [[Bodhisattva]] and has been penned up by Mihir Bhuta.

==Plot==

The show's plot revolves around the story of Lord [[Shiva]], which follows his journey from being an ascetic to a family man.

''Devon Ke Dev...Mahadev'' is the story of the Hindu God [[Shiva]], also called as Mahadev. The show portrays his journey from a hermit to a house holder. In the show Shiva takes many incarnations and many incidents take place. However, this plot mentions only the major events.

During the creation of the world according to Lord [[Vishnu]] and Lord [[Brahma]], Adi Parashakti leaves Shiva from his [[Ardhanarishvara]] form. In order to shape the universe, she takes various births to marry Shiva but fails 106 times due to which Shiva becomes an ascetic. Hence Lord Brahma suggests his mind-born son Prajapati Daksh to please Adi Shakti and request her to incarnate as his daughter.

The story starts with the tale of Shiva's marriage with [[Sati (goddess)|Sati]]. Sati who is the daughter of [[Prajapati]] [[Daksha]], a staunch [[Vishnu]] devotee, is drawn towards Shiva against the wishes of her father. She finally marries Shiva, but soon dies by self-immolation when her husband is insulted at the ''[[yajna]]'' of Daksha. The grief-striken Shiva produces [[Virabhadra]], who slays Daksha, however he restores Daksha's life after beseeching of Daksha's wife. A distraught Shiva leaves with burnt corpse of Sati and wanders the universe. Vishnu severs the body into pieces, shattering them on earth. Shiva transforms the pieces into [[Shakti Peetha]]s, embodiments of the power of the Goddess [[Adi Shakti]].

Adi Parashakti is born the 107th time as Daksh's daughter [[Sati (Hindu goddess)|Sati]]. Meanwhile, Shiva cuts off Brahma's fifth head making Daksh hate him. Sati falls for Shiva and finally marries him, much to Daksh's dismay. Hence, Daksh humiliates Shiva in front of Sati in his yagna. Unable to tolerate her husband's insult, Sati sacrifices her life once again. An infuriated Shiva orders [[Virabhadra]] to behead Daksh. Later, he revives him at Prasuti's request and goes into deep meditation for centuries.

Sati is reborn as [[Parvati]], the daughter of [[Himavan]], king of the Himalayas and Mainavati. She is also the sister of the river-goddess, [[Ganges in Hinduism|Ganga]]. Parvati is raised in the hermitage of the Shiva devotee sage [[Dadhichi]], who teaches her devotion to Shiva. Parvati grows up and like Sati, is captivated by Shiva. She slowly remembers her past life, then wins Shiva by her austerities leading to their marriage.

Adi Parashakti then is born as [[Parvati]] the 108th time as the daughter of Himavan and his wife Menavati. She is aware of her divinity as are her parents, and grows up in Dadichi's hermitage. From an early age, she starts addressing Mahadev/Shiva as her husband which Menavati, as a concerned mother, dislikes strongly.

Shiva and Parvati give birth to [[Murugan|Kartikeya]], who slays the demon [[Tarakasura]] and his brothers. Kartikeya is also nominated for the throne of the King of Devas but Shiva asks Indra to continue as the king. After this Kartikeya is sent to the Dakshin (south) where he is cared by [[Meenakshi]] and here he slays the demon (asura), Tripath with her help. The story goes on with the tale of the destruction of [[Tripura (mythology)|Tripura]], belonging to the revengeful sons of Tarakasura, who were earlier given boons by Shiva. And just before the destruction of the Tripura, Shiva and Parvati's daughter, Ashoksundari is born.

After the destruction of Tripura, except Lord [[Indra]] (the King of [[Deva (Hinduism)|Deva]]s) everyone congratulate Shiva for destructing Tripura and also for being the father of Ashokasundari. Rishi [[Durvasa]] gives him a special garland, which Shiva gave Narada as [[prasadam]]. When given Lord Indra accepts the garland placing it on the trunk of his elephant, [[Airavata]] to proof that he is egoistic throws it. This enrages the sage and he curses Indra and evryone to be bereft of all wealth and fortune. Soon later to take revenge on the destruction of Tripura, King [[Mahabali|Bali]] attacks heaven and in attempt to steal ''[[Amrita]]'' (nectar of immortality). But it falls into the [[Ocean of milk]]. To get the ''Amrit'' back Devas join hands with Asuras to churn the ocean for the ''Amrita'' and to share it among them.

The churning of the ocean, known as [[Samudra manthan|Samudra Manthan]] is an elaborate process. In the process the Devas disadvantage the Asuras in many ways. Despite this, they churn the ocean. In the process Lord [[Vishnu]] also takes his second incarnation of a turtle, [[Kurma]].

The process releases a number of things from the ocean. One product is the lethal poison known as ''[[Halahala]]''. This could contaminate the ocean and destroy all of creation. To save everyone Lord Shiva inhales the poison in an act of self-sacrifice but Parvati rescues him by pressing his neck to stop the poison from spreading. As a result, the color of Lord Shiva's neck turns blue. During the churning many things are obtained from the ocean which includes [[Lakshmi]], the Goddess of fortune and wealth, who is the eternal consort of Vishnu. Thus, everyone gets their wealth and fortune back. Later Vishnu takes the ''Amrita'' secretly from the Asuras and distributes it among the Devas.

When she grows up, Parvati tries to make Mahadev realize that she is none other than his wife Sati reincarnated. But he rejects her and in the process, turns Kamadev into ashes. As a result, Kama's distraught wife, Rati curses Parvati.

The story takes some years leap after which it is shown that Kartikeya has been removed from the post of ''Senapati'' (head of the army), which pleases Indra and for the first time, after so many years, a grown-up Ashoksundari meets Kartikeya. Kartikeya also meets his parents. He enlightens Ashoksundari about meditation and she is inspired by it so much that she renounces her life to meditate, which disturbs Parvati.

Parvati then agrees to marry as per her mother, Menavati's wish. However eventually Parvati and Himavan make Menavati realise who Parvati is, after which she gives in. Parvati goes on to meditate for 3,000 years to please Mahadev to marry her. And finally, Mahadev and Parvati are married. Later, Mahadev imparts some tantric knowledge to Parvati that helps her to take various forms like Nav Durga; [[Mahavidyas]] (Kali, Tara, Tripura Sundari, Bhuvaneshvari, Tripura Bhairavi, Chhinnamasta, Dhumavati, Bagalamukhi, Matangi and Kamala) and [[Matrikas]] to destroy Raktabeej, Shumbha Nishumbha, Chanda Munda, Durgmasura, Arunasura, Banasura, etc.

Parvati gives birth to [[Ganesha|Ganesh]] by carving a ''murthi'' (idol) out of sandalwood paste. Ganesh stops Mahadev from entering the Kailash as he has never met his father. Enraged, Mahadev cuts off his head; however, an elephant's head is fixed to his body. Later a challenge takes place: the one who will take seven rounds of the ''sansar'' and come to Kailash first will become the most respectful God. Ganesh memorizes his parents' teachings that parents are one's ''sansar''. So Ganesha takes seven rounds around his parents on his mouse. Kartikeya comes first in Kailash riding on his peacock; however, Mahadev declares Ganesha as the winner. Dejected, Kartikeya leaves Kailash. Later Kartikeya realising that he has let down his parents and brother decides to repent. Ganesha consoles him and decides to stay with him. Parvati blames Mahadev for this. Parvati requests him to take care of his family and give up his life of a hermit and turn to a householder. But Mahadev refuses to give up his life of a hermit. He tests Kartikeya{{spaced ndash}}as he had tested his other devotees like Parvati before marrying her.
