On August 2nd, a significant episode of “Shiv Shakti – Tap Tyaag Tandav” unfolded. The story began with the asurs fleeing from Kailash to save their lives. Jalandhar saw them and told them to stop running. Mahishaasur said it looked like Lord Shiv and Mata Parvati had left Kailash. Jalandhar agreed and laughed, thinking they were afraid of him. He vowed to find them no matter what.
Meanwhile, Shukracharya informed everyone that Lord Shiv and Mata Parvati had indeed left Kailash. The Devas and Goddesses were shocked to hear this. Ragu suggested they had fled in fear. However, Lord Narayan insisted it was foolish to doubt the power of Lord Shiv and Mata Parvati. He reminded them of the miracles that always happened when Lord Shiv left Kailash.
At the same time, Lord Shiv told Mata Parvati they should go to the ocean. Mahishaasur arrived and declared he would not let them leave. He mocked Lord Shiv, saying he was powerless without his weapon. He tried to attack, but failed. Lord Shiv calmly said he alone was enough to defeat the asurs. Mata Parvati told Mahishaasur that falsehood could never win against truth. When Mahishaasur tried to attack her, Lord Shiv got angry and threw him away. Mahishaasur screamed for Jalandhar, who heard his cry and began searching for him.
Lord Shiv and Mata Parvati reached the ocean. Lord Shiv told her she must change her avatar for the good of the universe. He said they needed to separate to find a solution to defeat Jalandhar. She asked if there was no other way, and he confirmed there wasn’t. She expressed her sorrow, saying her heart couldn’t bear their separation. He hugged her, sharing her pain.
Lord Shiv emphasized that they couldn’t ignore their duties: Tap, Tyaag, and Tandav. He wiped her tears and urged her to fulfill her responsibilities before Jalandhar arrived. He said she would find the answers in the ocean. As she prepared to leave, her dress got stuck in his rudramala. He freed it and stopped her from bending to take his blessings, reminding her they were equals. He said her place was in his heart and assured her they were always one.
Both cried as she moved toward the ocean. The sad version of the title song played in the background. She turned back to look at him several times. She remembered his words about finding the answer to Jalandhar’s destruction in the ocean. As she entered the water, it began to rain. She looked back one last time, thinking it was time to say goodbye.
The episode ended on this emotional note.
