Season 23 (2013)

Mahadev is shocked on seeing Parvati's condition. He transforms himself into Vaidyanath and cures Parvati. He then decides to perform sadhana, alone. What will Parvati do to bring Mahadev back to his peaceful state?

Ganesha gives Bilva leaves to Parvati so she can call Mahadev back. But when Parvati puts the Bilva Patra on the Shivaling, Mahadev gets angry. In order to please him, Narad plays the veena, but his anger continues. Only Parvati can do something to calm him.

Parvati promises to pacify Mahadev, as his anger is causing natural disasters and calamities. Parvati, along with the five Devas, establishes various Shivalings and performs puja. But nothing seems to control Mahadev's krodhagni.

In order to help Mahadev, Parvati transforms herself into Akhilandeshwari Devi. The gods and Parvati continue to worship the Shivalings. Lord Vishnu even disguises himself as a farmer to make Mahadev realise the severity of the crisis on earth. Will Mahadev understand?

Lord Vishnu and Parvati succeed in pacifying Mahadev. Mahadev gets his trishul and damaru from Parvati. He then plays his damaru and brings happiness back to the universe. Meanwhile, Arunasur is planning to misuse the boon Lord Brahma granted him.

Arunasur prepares for another war with Mahadev. He tries to blackmail and harm Van Devi. He also intends to torture the animals to take revenge on Pashupatinath. Knowing his intentions, Parvati fears for Kamdhenu's safety. What will Mahadev do to keep all of them safe?

Arunasur tortures the animals and ill-treats Kamdhenu, while challenging Pashupatinath. Mahadev and Parvati perform sadhana for the welfare of the universe. But somebody interrupts their sadhana.

Mahadev makes Arunasur realise about his concern for the animals. He rescues the animals and Kamdhenu from Arunasur. Arunasur insists Mahadev to revive his mother. Mahadev wants Arunasur to expiate for his sin. On Mahadev's request, Parvati pardons Indradev for interrupting her sadhana. Mahadev pays his gratitude to Van Devi for making his sadhana successful in the forest. Arunasur demonstrates his hatred for the deities, and intends to attack Yamraj. Kartikey gets ready to fight with Arunasur.

Mahadev tells Parvati about the war between Kartikay and Arunasur. On the battlefield, Arunasur starts fighting against Yamraj and defeats his army. Kartikay then decides to fight him and save Yamraj. Meanwhile, with Parvati and Mahadev's consent, Indradev takes Kamdhenu to Swarg Lok.

Mahadev motivates Kartikey to fight with Arunasur and blesses him to win the war. Yamraj and Arunasur fight with each other in the battle field. Kartikey challenges Arunasur to fight with him, but he refuses to accept the same. Kartikey tries to attack Arunasur, but Arunasur succeeds in defending himself. The deities worry about Kartikey. Arunasur takes Kartikey to his kingdom, in order to revive his mother. On seeing the dead body of Arunasur's mother, Kartikey stops fighting with him.

On being provoked by Arunasur's army, Kartikey becomes compassionate about Arunasur's mother. He promises Arunasur to revive his mother, and ends the war with him. Lord Brahma and the rishis worry on learning about the same. Kartikey urges Mahadev to revive Arunasur's mother, but he refuses. Kartikey vents his anger on Mahadev and Nandi for the same. Parvati berates Kartikey for his behaviour. Mahadev finds it difficult to revive Arunasur's mother on thinking about its bad consequences.

Mahadev worries about Kartikay's promise to Arunasur. Parvati and Ganesha make Kartikay realise that he has made a mistake, but Kartikay is adamant. He leaves Kailash, upset with Mahadev and Parvati for not standing by him.

As Arunasur continues to perform Parvati's sadhana, Parvati worries about Kartikay going to Kritika. She decides to bring him back to Kailash. Mahadev forbids her from doing so, but she refuses to listen. Mahadev worries about the consequences of Parvati's decision.

Indradev decides to stop Kartikey from resurrecting Arunasur's mother, on thinking about it's bad consequences in Swarg Lok. Brihaspati forbids Indradev from meeting Kartikey. Nevertheless, Indradev interrupts Kartikey, and insists him to take back his decision of reviving Arunasur's mother. Kartikey becomes outraged at Indradev for criticising Mahadev. Out of anger, Kartikey transforms himself into Krodh Agni. The deities worry about Kartikey and urge Mahadev to liberate him from Krodh Agni.

Mahadev succeeds in releasing Kartikay from his Krodhagni state. Parvati blames Indradev for misleading Kartikay and decides to punish him. She tries to please Kartikay. But Kartikay tells Lord Vishnu that he is upset with Mahadev for not treating him like his son.

Kartikay returns to Kailash. Parvati learns about his compassion for Arunasur's mother. She decides to help him keep his promise to Arunasur. But Parvati’s support to Kartikay worries Mahadev further. Will he stop her from doing something wrong out of motherly love?

Parvati decides to grant Arunasur's wish. She explains to Kartikay about the love parents have for their children. On her insistence, he apologises to Nandi. By now, Kartikay realises how Arunasur used him and decides to take revenge.

Before granting Arunasur's wish, Parvati tells him about his sins and asks him to reconsider his wish. She brings back his mother, but she isn't happy to be revived. She scolds Arunasur and requests Parvati to liberate her soul. He blames Mahadev and Parvati for cheating him.

Mahadev pardons Arunasur and gives him a chance to correct his wrongdoings. But Arunasur attacks him. Mahadev realises that Arunasur cannot be killed by him, as he is protected by Lord Brahma's boon. Parvati transforms herself into Bhramari Devi to kill Arunasur.
