'''''Devon Ke Dev... Mahadev''''' ({{lang-eng|''Lord of the Lords... Mahadev''}}) is a mythological [[drama series]] based on the legends of [[Shiva]], also known as Mahadev. It premiered on 18 December 2011 and is being aired on the Indian television channel [[Life OK]].
The drama, inspired by the works of renowned mythologist [[Devdutt Pattanaik]], has been researched by him and scripted by [[Mihir Bhuta]].
==Plot==
''Devon Ke Dev...Mahadev'' is a television series based on legends featuring the Hindu God [[Shiva]], also knows as Mahadev (the great god). The show narrates the most famous of these legends, sourced from the [[Puranas]] and the work of well known mythologist [[Devdutt_Pattanaik|Devdutt Pattanaik]],in an episodic fashion.
The story starts with the tale of Shiva's marriage with [[Sati (goddess)|Sati]]. Sati is a partial incarnation of the Supreme Goddess and is born as the daughter of [[Prajapati]] [[Daksha]], who is a staunch devotee of [[Vishnu]]. She is drawn towards Shiva against the will of her father. Shiva and Sati get married and start living in Kailash. Soon after Daksha organises a ''[[yajna]]'' where all the gods except for Shiva are invited. Sati is distraught as this slight, and against Shiva's wishes, journeys to her parental home to question her father. Daksha, drunk on his own power and piety insults Shiva in front of Sati. Torn with remorse on having ignored her divine husband's wishes Sati gives up her body in the fires which emanate from her own body - ''pranagni''. The grief-striken Shiva produces an ''aaveshavatar'' an incarnation of a fierce mood [[Virabhadra]], who slays Daksha. Later, on hearing the prayers of Daksha's wife he restores Daksha's life. A distraught Shiva leaves with burnt corpse of Sati and wanders around the universe. Vishnu with the use of his divine discus dismembers the body into pieces, scattering them on earth. Shiva transforms the pieces into [[Shakti Peetha]]s, embodiments of the power of the Goddess [[Adi Shakti]].
After an age, during which Shiva plunges into austere [[Tapas_(Sanskrit)|tapas]], 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 [[Shaivite]] sage [[Dadhichi]], who instructs her. As Parvati matures, she is captivated by the thought of attaining Shiva himself as her husband. Gradually the memory of her previous birth as Sati awakens in her; and she undertakes the most severe of austerities to please Shiva. He is appeased and they are married in the presence of all the gods and goddesses.
Line 58 ⟶ 56:
The narrative also relates the destruction of the demon [[Tripura (mythology)|Tripura]], by Shiva who is also called ''Tripurari''. But just before the destruction of the Tripurasura, the little known legend of the birth of Shiva and Parvati's daughter, Ashoksundari has been included in the series.
On destroying Tripurasura, Shiva is praised by all the sages and gods except for Indra.
The churning of the ocean is known as [[Samudra manthan|Samudra Manthan]] and is an elaborate process. In the process the Devas employ crafts to disadvantage the Asuras in many ways. Lord [[Vishnu]] comes to the aid of the gods and incarnates as a giant turtle, [[Kurma]]. A myriad range of objects emanate from the churning of the ocean of milk. The very first is the lethal poison known as [[Halahal]]. Its presence puts the world at great risk. Shiva drinks the poison to save the universe from certain destruction, but Parvati comes to his rescue by pressing his neck to stop the poison from spreading.
The narrative next shows us a grown up Kartikeya, who is no longer ''Senapati''
▲As the ages pass, the darkness of the world increases. After the holy woman [[Ahilya]] is seduced by Indra, Parvati decides to give birth to the god of auspiciousness - [[Ganesh]]. Shiva is lost in his meditation hence Parvati does not disturb him with this decision. Once, she decided to perform a puja in a cave in Kailash with some other women, and she requests Ganesh to stand on guard outside and not allow anyone to enter within. The Devas and sages, who have assembled outside to gain an audience with the divine mother Parvati are refused by the child Ganesh. Infuriated by his apparent impertinence they battle him, but are roundly defeated. Finally, Shiva himself comes to meet Parvati but is bluntly refused entrance by Ganesh. An enraged Mahadev cuts off his head with his trident. At the commotion Parvati comes out and is stricken with the turn of events. She tells Shiva the truth of the situation and pleads for her son's life. Shiva fixes the head of an elephant calf on to the boy's torso as a fulfillment of a boon given to a devout elephant years ago.
▲Kartikeya returns to Kailasha, and is given a warm welcome by his family.
The narrative continues with sundry tales such as Ganesh's fight with the sage [[Parashuram|Parashurama]]; the resolution of the question of who is to be worshipped first among gods; etc.
