protecting our religion, our Dharma

May our endeavors succeed!

What happened my child?

I'll be with you in a while...

Have some patience

Quiet my child.

I'll sieve the flour and be with you.

Have some patience

I cannot touch you till I finish cooking

I'll have to bathe again

- Will you calm him down?!

I can't do anything,

till I serve your meal

Do you expect me to entertain him?

- Could you?

It will calm him down

You needn't touch him

There has been no news

of the child's mother.

We can send the child to

the government orphanage.

The government orphanage

will not be appropriate.

It's God's will that a Brahmin's child

has come to our house

The temple orphanage is

where he will be sent

I don't know how to decipher God's will...

but I've been thinking of something

You've started thinking?

Lord Shiva, have mercy!

Don't let the thought weigh on your mind...

speak out...

else you won't be able to sleep tonight

There is no one better than you at teaching

religion and the scriptures

Maybe, God wants this child to

learn religious values from you...

like you'd teach your own child

Are you suggesting we adopt the child?

What if his mother comes back?

Then the child will be fortunate to have

the love of two mothers

Like the son of Lord Shiva.

Kartikey!

Parvati!

Why are you wailing?

You've disrupted my meditation!

Do you think I'm here to entertain you?

'My Lord Shiva, I adore you'

'You're the one in eternal bliss'

'Limitless and pure like the sky'

'I adore you'

'My Lord Shiva, I adore you'

- My Lord Shiva, I adore you -

- You're the one in eternal bliss,

I adore you -

- My Lord Shiva, I adore you -

- Limitless and pure like the sky,

I adore you -

- I'd left him sleeping on the swing

- He must have said,"Bauji, pick me up"

- Quiet. Your father is sleeping

Kartikey

- Father, look at me

'Hail, the mighty Lord Shiva'

We have a swing!

'You are the one who embodies the scriptures'

Quiet, father is praying

'The one who is resplendent and omnipresent'

'The one who is limitless and pure

like the sky. I adore you'

Father!

Mother!

Father!

Hello!

I can perform the prayer for your

new house over the phone

It won't even mess up your house

Money? You can send it to

my website address

Ok. Good day

Sorry. It must be good night over there

Call from America

- Here comes Punditji

That was his client from America

Pundit Daya Shankarji has become world famous

We are suppose to serve and

not sell our religion

What's wrong with that?

Everyone should adapt to

the changing times

The Truth doesn't change with time

What our scriptures prescribe

is the greatest truth

But you won't understand that

Coming, son!

Come in, Daya Shankar

No, I am fine where I am

That child... that Vedika had brought home

The one Punditji considers his son

and you call Kartikey

His mother is here to take him

She had escaped to Benares

from the riot in Bhadohi

Parched, she fainted on the riverside

People admitted her to the

government hospital

The loss of her child made

her mentally unstable

Where is Kartikey's mother?

It's about time you met

I met her at the riverside,

looking for your house

Please come in...

Your entry into this house

cannot be prohibited

My name is Nafeesa

I run Dar-ul-Mohsenaat,

an institute for destitute woman

And she is Suraiya

She is Mustafa's mother

May Allah bless you for

sheltering her son

How is this possible! He...

- The child was very small

They hadn't circumcised him

- When the riots started in Bhadohi

she ran away to save her child's life

I found her at the government hospital

- She was not in her senses

- It took her a few years to

even speak properly

We visited many police stations

in and around Benares

We'd almost given up,

when we met Inspector Sharma

We bumped into Daya Shankarji

who brought us to you

Vedika

Mother, no! Please don't let him go

- Mother, I don't want to go

- Sister

- Sister

Take him away.

Father...

I don't want to go

Father!

- Quiet, father is praying

'We pray O Lord...

that you purify this home...

cleanse our bodies, minds and souls'

'Accept this offering O Keshava'

'Accept this offering O Narayana'

'Accept this offering O Madhava'

'Accept this offering O Govinda'

I want to...

I don't want any justification

I'll punish myself for your sins

You couldn't control your tongue...

so I'll hold back mine

From this very moment...

for indefinite time...

I take on the penance of silence

- Quiet, father is praying

You've cleansed yourself

God knows that it wasn't your fault

You needn't break your silence...

but please resume your duties

at the temple

- Father, I dropped the vermillion

Pundit Chaturvedi! The purest!

The ultimate in priesthood!

Fooled by his wife!

He ranks as a non-believer

The Muslim child has defiled

his temple and home.

All the cleansing is a cover up!

But what about Surya Prakashji's

temple affairs?

Do you still hanker for thatjob?

You are wealthy now

It's not the job...

but the person who runs that temple...

must be physically, mentally,

and spiritually pure

Pundit Chaturvedi, is impure now

Are you in your senses?

Pundit Chaturvedi has purified himself!

He should be removed from the position

Not as long as I am alive

Once again, you're wrong

I have endured Pandit Chaturvedi so far

But, not any longer

Will you remove him forcefully?

For that con man, Daya Shankar?

Con man?

I'd rather have a con man than

an impure man run my temple

And if you don't agree, father...

I'll force him to step down

Alright, Surya Prakash

You have Daya Shankar, Gorasnath...

the power of your organisation

And Pundit Chaturvedi...

has the strength of his faith

I challenge all of you!

- If you prove Punditji's impurity...

- I will end this relationship with him

God, you are the omniscient

I'm unable to purify my thoughts

and my heart

Despite my penance...

I am tormented

Give me the strength to surrender

to you completely

The kind of strength...

that will lead me to you

Father has broken his silence

On this moonless night...

I take on the Chandrayan Vrat

Where is Punditji?

He can't talk to you

Is he hiding behind the oath of silence?

He is doing his prayers

To atone for his sin she's taken

on another penance

Another one?

What penance will he do now?

Chandrayan

Chandrayan Vrat?

- Are you sure?

What's this penance all about?

The Chandrayan Vrat is the most

arduous penance in the scriptures

After the moonless night,

the devotee has to eat...

increasing 1 morsel per day...

reaching 15 morsels on the full moon night

After the full moon night...

the devotee reduces a morsel a day

till the moonless night

Apart from this, he can not eat

or drink anything

O Lord, with Your grace...

I complete the Chandrayan Vrat today

Any trace of sin in my deeds...

I surrender to you in this fire

Give me the strength, O Lord...

to continue to walk your path...
