Shiv Shakti 3rd November 2024 Written Episode Update
The episode opens with Lord Shiv announcing his intention to meditate on the highest hill, declaring that the first person to reach him will win a grand competition. He departs with Devi Parvati, who expresses her confusion about the significance of the contest. She questions how ascending the hill can make someone a king. Lord Shiv explains that to become a ruler, one must embody peace and teach it to others. He elaborates that Gajasur is guiding Shukracharya toward a more peaceful path, indicating that the one who leads the Devas toward tranquility will become the Devraj. He then transforms into multiple forms of Lord Shiv.
Meanwhile, in Asur Lok, Shukracharya has bound Gajasur, announcing he will keep him restrained until he finds a suitable new king to rule Asur Lok. This revelation shocks Mahishi. Shukracharya instructs the Asurs to imprison Gajasur. Mahishi protests, telling Shukracharya that his actions are unjust. Shukracharya retorts that while Gajasur may become a devotee of Lord Shiv, he cannot neglect his own responsibilities. Gajasur, defiant, calls upon Lord Shiv for strength and chants “Har har Mahadev,” breaking free from his restraints. Shukracharya is taken aback, exclaiming that this is impossible.
Devi Parvati asks Lord Shiv about the nature of this leela. He assures her that the true leela is about to unfold. Lord Shiv’s various forms transform into an elderly man who claims to be in distress and seeks help to return home. Devi Parvati is perplexed by this development, prompting Lord Shiv to explain that it relates to the choice of the Devraj.
Gajasur subsequently dismisses Shukracharya from his role as Asur Guru, threatening him with imprisonment if he does not leave the premises. Shukracharya concedes, stating he will return with a strategy to defeat Gajasur and departs. Gajasur then commands the Asurs to prepare for a puja in honor of Lord Shiv.
As Lord Shiv begins his meditation, Devi Parvati performs a puja for Kartikeya’s success.
Narad addresses the competitors, reminding them of Lord Shiv’s instructions. He tells them to reach the hill via different paths, as Lord Shiv distributes Rudramala to each participant. As the competitors chant “Jagat ka kalyan ho,” they begin their ascent. Narad expresses his confusion about the nature of the competition, prompting Lord Narayan to clarify that Lord Shiv always has a purpose behind his actions and that this challenge will encompass more than simply reaching the hilltop.
During this time, Chandradev encounters the old man who claims to be suffering and requests Chandradev’s assistance to return home. All the while, various forms of Lord Shiv urge the competitors to help the old man as well. Chandradev rebuffs the old man, scolding him for coughing in his presence, and leaves without offering assistance. Other competitors also refuse to lend a hand, leaving Nahusha and Kartikeya torn between helping the old man and pursuing their goals.
The episode concludes on this tension-filled note.
