"Uddeshy jiske janm ka krithikesh ka uddhar tha,

Anjaan si ek sukanya sampurn kailash ka uspar bhaar tha."

In the vast valleys of Kailash, Mahadev was meditating when Narad Muni came to him.

"Narayan, narayan" Narad Muni said as soon as he came chanting

"Munivar, aaiye" Mahadev opened his eyes and offered him a small smile

"Narayan narayan, Pranam Mahadev" Naradji joined his hands and bowed in front of Mahadev

"Bataiye Munivar, kaise aagman hua aapka"

"Narayan Narayan, Mahadev, sabhi devo ke mann mai ek hi prashn utpan ho raha tha, toh humne soch kyu na swayam aapse hi aakar uska utar lele"

"Kaisa prashan munivar?"

"Narayan Narayan, Mahadev, kabtak Kartikey aur Ganesh yu sadharan munushayu ki bhaati prithvi par apna jeevan vytitat karenge"

"Munivar, aap yeh uchit roop se jaante hai ki Kartikey aur Ganesh Prithvi par kyu hai, fir iss prashan ka kya mehtav"

"Narayan Narayan, Mahadev, parantu Kartikey ka janam bhi toh ek vishesh karan se hua hai, hum usse bhi nazarandaz nahi kar sakte"

"Kartikey is samay unn divy shaktiyo ke liye prastu nahi hai,Hum aur devi parvati chahte hai ki unhe apni shaktiyo aur unn shaktiyo se ho sakte Kalyan ya sarvanash ka purn gyaan ho aur ve puri tarah se unn shaktiyo ko sambhalne ke yugya ho tabhi unhe ve shaktiya pradhan ki jaaye, Nahi toh puri dharti par sankat aa sakta hai"

"Narayan Narayan, Parantu Mahadev, Kartikey toh aapke aur Devi parvati ke putr hai, ve kyu inn shaktiyo ka galat prayug karenge"

Hearing this confusion of Narad Muni Shankarji Chuckled and Maa annpurna came to the place

"Narayan Narayan, Pranam devi parvati" Narad ji said to Maa annpurna as she sat next to Shankarji

"Pranam munivar, shama kijiyega humne aapki vartalap sunli aur ab usmai Hastakshep kar rahe hai, parantu munivar, awashyak nahi hai ki humesha shaktiyo ka burai ke liye upyog hona hi unka durupyug ho kadhachit, yadhi Kartikey ko sahi aur galat ka sresthgyaan nahi hoga toh Shaktiyo ka sahi ke liye kiya gaya upyog bhi Manav hit ke vriduh ho jayega, aur Kartikey aur Ganesh ke manushay jeevan ka ek aur veshash kary bhi hai, manushay jeevan ko samjhna, unko dukho ko samjhna aur unke dukho ka nivaran karna aur manav jaati ke dukho ka naash kar paaye"

"Narayan Narayan, Ab aapki aur mahadev ki lila meri samjh se toh pare hai, Narayan narayan" Naradji said and disappeared in thin air.

Govind and I almost didn't slept the whole night and I was going to travel alone in the train so I couldn't even sleep on the journey which was really scary.

As much as I was excited about this new adventure, my heart was beating very fast, so much so I could feel the palpitations in my stomach.

"You will be fine Shivu" Krshnavi said hugging me from behind as I was placing my bags in the car.

"I don't know krshu, what if no one likes me? What if the teachers don't like my work? What if I cannot gel up with my classmates? What if I am not able to do everything on my own? I mean till date maa has done everything for me, I don't know how will I be able to manage everything"

"Shivu" Krshnavi just hugged me tightly, rubbing my back with one hand and caressing my head with another.

"Everyone will like you, Everyone will like your work, You will be friends with each student in the college like you were here in school, And you will be able to do everything and sometimes if you are not able to, you have jija no? She will help you figure things out" she held my face in both her hands and said looking straight in my eyes

And I nodded with tears welling up in my eyes and hugged her tight.

Then I hugged Govind and my parents, moving away from them will not be easy but I have to do it. And Kashi is a place that I always wanted to live in, close to my Mahadev, it just has a different kind of calling for me.

I sat in my train and passed the fields in the way. It was a ten hour journey and I couldn't sleep since I was alone so I started sketching the scene on my drawing pad.

The trees in the foreground are quite blurred and they going past very quickly. In  the background I can see green fields and trees with the sun shining on them. It’s obviously a beautiful day because the clouds are a golden colour.

This changing continously, teaching me that change is the only constant, nothing is fixed, and so is my anxiousness, I have my faith in Mahadev, eveything will be in my favour.

"त्र्यम्बकं यजामहे सुगन्धिं पुष्टिवर्धन्म। उर्वारुकमिव बन्धनामृत्येर्मुक्षीय मामृतात्॥"

(Translation:- "We worship the Three-eyed one, who is fragrant and who nourishes all. Like the fruits fall of from the bondage of stem, may we be liberated from death, from mortality")

I chanted in my mind while travelling to the visit the college or actually shift to my hostel with Shuban.

Lateral entry into medical colleges is a very tough thing but we managed to get that due to a decent score (Being in the top 10) in our previous college.

So I was just praying to pitashree to help me and guide me on this journey to find Shivanshi and get out of this mortal life.

"Brathashree, that Landlord is just coming up with different terms and conditions everyday"

"Agree with all of them Bandage, we don't have another choice, we want it"

Narad Muni still confused even after talking to Devi Parvati and Mahadev, reach Mahadev's Aaradhy Narayan.

He reaches golok and watches the serene and divine scene of Maa Chanchala removing any dust particles from the feet of Narayan.

"Narayan Narayan, pranam prabhu" he joined his hands and bowed in front of Narayan

"Narayan Narayan,Pranam Maate" he turned to Maa Chanchala and bowed in front of her

"Pranam RishiRaj" Narayan said with a knowing smile knowing the confusion of Narad Muni

"Narayan Narayan, Prabhu, waise toh mai swayam Mahadev se bhi yeh prashn phuch aaya parantu mere mastiksh se yeh prashan jaa hi nahi raha hai, Shivanshi ko toh swayam Mahadev kuch shanu mai wapas Kailash par laa sakte the, toh itne samay se Ganesh aur Kartikey ko sadharan manushay ki bhaati Prithvi lok par rehne dena kaise uchit hai"

"RishiRaj, na mai na swayam mahadev kisi aur ka kartevya pura kar sakte hai, Shivanshi ko wapas laana Kartikey ka Kartevya hai aur unhe hi pura karna hoga, hum kewal unhe marg darshan de sakte hai"

"Narayan Narayan, Parantu prabhu, chaliye aapki baat maan li lekin yadi Kartikey ke pass unki shaktiya hoti toh yeh kary shrigar ati shrigar hojata, ismai itna vilambh karne ka kya karn hai"

"RishiRaj, Shaktiya kewal Kartikey ki hi nahi Ganesh aur Shivanshi ki bhi hai, Aur woh teeno hi abhi unn shaktiyo ke liye taiyaar nahi hai, Shivanshi toh apne asal parichay se bhi aanjaan hai, usse in sabke liye taiyaar karne ke liye yeh vilambh ho raha hai aur rahi baat Kartikey ke baaki kartaveyo ki toh unka bhi upay soch hi rakha hoga Mahadev ne humein unki chinta nahi karni chaiye"

"Narayan Narayan, Parantu Prabhu Kartikey aur Ganesh kaise shaktiyo ke liye taiyaar nahi hai prabhu?"

"RishiRaj, jab aap bhi Kam dev ke jaal se nahi bach sake toh woh toh manushay roop mai hai abhi"

"Narayan Narayan, Prabhu mera mann bahut vichalat ho raha hai, kuch anhoni nah hojaye"

Hearing the tension in Narad Muni's voice

Shree Hari says to Narad,

"Japahu jai Shankar Satnama , huihe hriday turat vishrama"

(Translation:- Oh Dear Sing the 108 names of My Lord Shiva, and your heart would be in peace in an instant.)
