Devon Ke Dev...Mahadev is the story of the Hindu God Shiva, also called as Mahadev. The show portrays his journey from a hermit to a house holder. In the show Shiva takes many incarnations and many incidents take place. However, this plot mentions only the major events.
The story starts with the tale of Shiva's marriage with Sati. Sati who is the daughter of Prajapati Daksha, a staunch Vishnu devotee, is drawn towards Shiva against the wishes of her father. She finally marries Shiva, but soon dies by self-immolation when her husband is insulted at the yajna of Daksha. The grief-striken Shiva produces Virabhadra, who slays Daksha, however he restores Daksha's life after beseeching of Daksha's wife. A distraught Shiva leaves with burnt corpse of Sati and wanders the universe. Vishnu severs the body into pieces, shattering them on earth. Shiva transforms the pieces into Shakti Peethas, embodiments of the power of the Goddess Adi Shakti.
Sati is reborn as Parvati, the daughter of Himavan, king of the Himalayas and Mainavati. She is also the sister of the river-goddess, Ganga. Parvati is raised in the hermitage of the Shiva devotee sage Dadhichi, who teaches her devotion to Shiva. Parvati grows up and like Sati, is captivated by Shiva. She slowly remembers her past life, then wins Shiva by her austerities leading to their marriage.
Shiva and Parvati give birth to Kartikeya, who slays the demon Tarakasura and his brothers. Kartikeya is also nominated for the throne of the King of Devas but Shiva asks Indra to continue as the king. After this Kartikeya is sent to the Dakshin (south) where he is cared by Meenakshi and here he slays the demon (asura), Tripath with her help. The story goes on with the tale of the destruction of Tripura, belonging to the revengeful sons of Tarakasura, who were earlier given boons by Shiva. And just before the destruction of the Tripura, Shiva and Parvati's daughter, Ashoksundari is born.
After the destruction of Tripura, except Lord Indra (the King of Devas) everyone congratulate Shiva for destructing Tripura and also for being the father of Ashokasundari. Rishi Durvasa gives him a special garland, which Shiva gave Narada as prasadam. When given Lord Indra accepts the garland placing it on the trunk of his elephant, Airavata to proof that he is egoistic throws it. This enrages the sage and he curses Indra and evryone to be bereft of all wealth and fortune. Soon later to take revenge on the destruction of Tripura, King Bali attacks heaven and in attempt to steal Amrita (nectar of immortality). But it falls into the Ocean of milk. To get the Amrit back Devas join hands with Asuras to churn the ocean for the Amrita and to share it among them.
The churning of the ocean, known as Samudra Manthan is an elaborate process. In the process the Devas disadvantage the Asuras in many ways. Despite this, they churn the ocean. In the process Lord Vishnu also takes his second incarnation of a turtle, Kurma.
The process releases a number of things from the ocean. One product is the lethal poison known as Halahala. This could contaminate the ocean and destroy all of creation. To save everyone Lord Shiva inhales the poison in an act of self-sacrifice but Parvati rescues him by pressing his neck to stop the poison from spreading. As a result, the color of Lord Shiva's neck turns blue. During the churning many things are obtained from the ocean which includes Lakshmi, the Goddess of fortune and wealth, who is the eternal consort of Vishnu. Thus, everyone gets their wealth and fortune back. Later Vishnu takes the Amrita secretly from the Asuras and distributes it among the Devas.
The story takes some years leap after which it is shown that Kartikeya has been removed from the post of Senapati(head of the army), which pleases Indra and for the first time after so many years, a grown-up Ashoksundari meets Kartikeya. Kartikeya also meets his parents. He enlightens Ashoksundari about meditation and she inspired by it so much that she renounces her life to meditate, which disturbs Parvati.
Looking at the ill happening of the world, of how Ahalya is seduced by Indra, Mahadev come indside. Even after Mahadev tells that he is his father and many other gods tried to tell him, he still refuses. Mahadev got angry and cut Vinayak's head.
我没有任何否认存在纯粹的生之欢愉的意思。但事实上是，一个热情和目标被夸大和过度包装了的世界，其因为行将崩溃而祛魅的一刻，对它再度赋魅的方式是告诉你c’est la vie，你要爱它，体会它的美，就能将你从崩塌和虚无中解救出来。可是关键问题是how，问题是这种热爱其实是别无选择的选择，但它不该别无选择。也许这超出一部电影能讨论的，但绝不该是以这种野蛮的赋魅方式来呈现，是的，它再美也是一种野蛮。我确实不想，也觉得不应该相信，这一切是别无选择。
我们大了，渐渐自视其human doing、going，忘了我们一直是human being，致知在格物，物格而后知至，我们存在的每一个瞬间都有意义。只有我们人类最易感到孤独，可也只有我们人类洞察我们自身与宇宙的关系，地球有重力跟引力我们的心脏才能跳动，我们的身体在响应地球，响应宇宙，我们每一个人都跟宇宙有千丝万缕的联系，我们可以爱一缕阳光，一颗树，我们与之都有联系。从电影院出来的路上，我决定以后要带我妈去踩下大海，去看看雪山，去吃一下各种美食，她或许不能理解我的人生，可又有什么关系呢。
走得太远，已经太久没有因为饥肠辘辘时的一口pizza而满足，秋天枝头飘下的一片落叶而感动。看似日复一日的生活其实充满了触动人心的惊喜和柔软，只是不知道从什么时候开始，我们将越来越多的精力注意力放在了复杂的人情世故和浮躁的生活节奏上，却忽略了最细枝末节的感动。The WORLD is our spark, and we are already in the ocean. 最简单的道理，只有最小的时候才懂。
从我成长的经历而言，我跟男主和22的共鸣都很强烈。尤其是男主的一生追逐演出梦，首次演出结束之后那种索然无味和怅然若失的感受，我在我的人生几个节点都有过强烈的这种体验。也是后续慢慢真的发自内心地觉得逐梦之所以让人这么痴迷是因为这是一个自己完全理想化的状态，说白了就是因为想要逃离庸常的生活所以自己内心无限美化了“理想”且放大了这种渴望。真的当梦想实现那一刻，确实会发现远不如自己预期的开心。那既然逐梦其实没那么美好，确实回归到生活本身是一种宽慰。享受过程而不执着于结果。第二个强烈共鸣是“忘我之境”和“执念幽魂”只有一线之隔，被执念操控真的就很像鬼魂。自己要学会及时分辨。第三个强烈共鸣是男主跟我一样，大多数时候比较自我，几乎对外部世界无法感知，其实很多时候是脑子太满了，没有空隙来承载一些外部偶然性。
皮克斯yyds♥️
剧作有瑕疵，前面元素堆得太多了，让人眼花缭乱，在爵士乐、本我超我的形态哲学中、甚至生与死的思考里跳接不暇。直到后半段才点题要阐述的是生活的哲学。是皮克斯一贯的玩法，用动画具象某些抽象或生活经验范围之外的事物，结局有点不喜欢，不如送我们的主人公前往往生更好，这样的作弊有失生与死平衡的公平还有些俗气。不过整体还是很感动，皮克斯没有灌鸡汤，和他们优秀的作品一样，告诉人们感受生活才是最重要的，而所谓的爱好或者目标之于人生不是必须的。四季的更迭，食物的美味，人情的冷暖这才是我们活在当下的理由。
真正杰出的电影仿佛是一道时空门，当你走出影院时，感觉就不再是走进影院的那同一个人了。它不见得能教会你什么新的东西，但它一定会带你去感受一些你已经做好准备要接受的东西。这部电影做到了。虽然老实讲，在离开影院后，这种感受还是免不了会被真实的生活逐渐吞没。但没关系，因为“A spark isn't a soul's purpose”。带着这些火花继续前行就好，正如另一句台词所说：“I’ll go with you…as far as I can.”
生命本身就是火花，每天都要尽情的享受生命的奥秘。
△其实生活就是这样，要认真的过好每一分钟，好好感受生活本身。哪怕你没有各种才能，没有各种社会层面的成功，但只要你认真生活、热爱生活，你自己的人生就是有意义的。
看22最后的去向，似乎是降落到了…非洲？？想象一下满怀对披萨、理发店、棒棒糖和落叶的憧憬来到地球，最后出生在部落舞、病毒、野兽、叛军和政变频繁的国度，22投胎成功之后不知道会不会意识到灵魂学院其实是多么灯塔国的一家之言。
皮克斯八股文，没有一处情节超越常规，没有一处写作突破匠气，只是主题切中并安抚了当代人的处境焦虑，然而这个东西七十多年前在弗兰克卡普拉手里就已经被讲述得登峰造极了，也正是它的普世性让它在时代和地域的可流转下变得平庸，可惜的是这种平庸并不能跟电影歌颂平庸的主题相自洽。
用这么花里胡哨的方式讲了个这么陈腔滥调的道理……问题是第一次注意到阳光穿过树梢树叶掉落当然会感动，如果天天只能面对这些看了成千上万次生活一直重复，还能心动如初继续支撑自己吗？
看完有一种神奇的体验，好像灵魂出窍去到异次元游览，时空恍惚。灵魂如何被创造、如何从源头大我中因为一个起心动念而成为个体之我、人身存在的意义，仅仅通过动画片去表达，虽不能说极深刻，至少有一只光影之手，在将其触碰。
巨难看，看了一个小时叽叽喳喳不知所云，年龄越大越讨厌迪士尼和皮克斯动画里的笑点，泪点和煽情也尬得要死。

满分之作，精彩绝伦，创意与技术的绝对领先！技术是手段，内核才添神韵。琴键之上，探讨何谓灵魂与存在，探讨何谓生之意义。一部适合所有年龄段观众的佳作～
在一切变好之前，我们总要经历一些不开心的日子，这段日子也许很长，也许只是一觉醒来。有时候，选择快乐，更需要勇气。
用灵魂出窍的方式，演一出妙趣横生的哲学命题，真棒！有人说，片子的主题是回归平淡。我不这样认为。回归平淡是首先承认成功的巅峰愉悦感。我认为片子想说的是，尽管当上导师的人都有很多成功事迹，但要提防本末倒置，那就是以为成功是生活的火花和意义。其实，人生的火花不在于目标与成功，而在于当下，不是得过且过随波逐流的当下，而是用心感悟的，春华秋实，生旦净末丑，百转千回的当下。无论成功与失败，有热爱，有勇气，有坚持，有温度，就是漂亮的人生。目标只是一种可视的量化的KPI，成功只是锦上添花的副产品，而已。
今天太奇怪了，看了期待中毫无新意的《神奇女侠1984》，却发现编剧找到了一个如此符合当今问题的视角。然后看了如此期待的《soul》，完全就是个空洞到令人发指的心灵鸡汤，而且编剧精巧的塑造和迎合了当今虚无主义者的自恋，和他们自己问题的美学化，问题解法的浪漫主义，当然，所有这一切不会对他们有任何的帮助。他们也不会从生活中的一个细节发现spark，这就是个神话。
未必有所成才算活着，梦想也不是什么了不起的东西，只喜欢看天、走路、吃披萨的人生也很好。（皮克斯送给社畜社恐的一记摸头
