Through an unsuccessful union, she paved the way for Parvati by seeding her will and her unquenched longing to unite with God into her. Yet, armed with nothing but an exceptionally strong will, she walked the path already doomed. Sati was born unaware and by the time, her true purpose was revealed to her, she was already shackled in the worldly chains of attachments, likes, dislikes and ego. Why and how has this happened?Īctually Parvati had fewer barricades to face to achieve her goal. This self realized soul is supremely focused towards it’s goal even at a time when the physical form has not even learnt what terms like marriage and husband means. A four year old Parvati strutting towards the spot where Mahadev’s damru is buried is endearing to watch yet while watching the scene unfold, you can’t help but also strongly feel the power of an infinite soul caught up in that tiny body. Her innate inclination towards Mahadev has been aptly and innovatively depicted in the series. Sati’s mature reincarnation in the form of Parvati was born with an awareness of it’s connection with God. On this auspicious occasion of the most divine union in the universe, while many viewers are taking joy in watching a love story come to it’s logical conclusion, I would think the interpretation would be ghastly incomplete if the underlining message of a soul merging into it’s source of origin is neglected. The problems seem to have been solved, love is in the air and the world is hopeful again in terms of getting a respite from Tarkasur’s atrocities. The grateful parents are preparing for their daughter’s wedding to the God of Gods with great enthusiasm. Menavati has been sufficiently convinced. At the same time while mythology is a platform that will be showcased on Life OK, it is not the only thing”.So Finally all is well in Devon ke Dev Mahadev. This distinction has been pivotal to the resounding success of the show.

We made an earnest attempt to make it as contemporary as possible by highliting Lord Shiva's views on pertinent issues such as pollution and gender equality. While our show has finished 300 episodes, we still have lots of stories to tell within that show. We have done things both on the air and on the ground. “While we have done well in terms of ratings, we have also dwelt on issues including crime, domestic violence, terror and religion. Life OK GM Ajit Thakur said that the success of Life OK went beyond ratings. "The aim is to make it a top three player." Life OK, which completed one year in December 2012, is among the top five channels, Shankar added. At the same time we did not compromise on the quality of entertainment,” Shankar said. We have created new parameter of creativity. We wanted to take the show beyond the Amar Chita Katha level. When we started on ‘Devon Ke Dev Mahadev’, we knew that the way in which the story was told would have to change. That is why they did not have much success. However later on, mythological shows were done the same way. “30 years ago you had Ramayana and Mahabharata which were fantastic. While 300 episodes was a big achievement for show, it is just the beginning of the story for the mythological saga and for Life OK. Like OK had its task cut out from the very first day and it has lived up to that challenge remarkably well by weaving gripping and inspirational stories with new approaches in production and technology.” It is our job not only to keep those stories alive but to tell them well in order to inspire a future generation. Star India CEO Uday Shankar said, “A nation and its people derive their collective identity and pride from stories passed on to it from earlier generations.

The company has tied up with Ultra for this purpose.

MUMBAI: In order to expand its reach and brand beyond television, Star India has released its Life OK’s mythological saga ‘Devon Ke Dev.
