Garuda Gamana Vrishabha Vahana
Garuda Gamana — the one flying Garuda, Vishnu
Vrishabha Vahana — the one riding a Bull, Shiva
I just watched a Kannada movie without subtitles, for 2hrs 30 minutes.
Thanks to having watched about 2–3 movie review videos, I could manage without the subtitle
The movie begins with us finding Shiva, a young boy in the pits of a dark well, only to be discovered and retrieved from the depths of the dark world by Hari and his mother.
Shiva is rescued but is totally unresponsive to our matrix world.
He feels no pain, no love, no tears, nothing at all ( maybe hunger )
So, he roams around the town of Mangaladevi in Mangalore wearing a Lord Shiva like attire, face-colored in blue and holding a trident like stick
Eventually, Hari’s mother and Hari, make Shiva a part of their family.
Shiva never reacts to any harm done to him, but when the world is about to harm Hari
— we see a highly reactive side of Shiva with all sorts of emotions hidden in him, now bustling atop, like a volcano erupting from its tranquility.
Ironically, Hari never saved Shiva, while always watching Shiva being bullied or tortured by other local kids
and never reacts (though smiles) every time Shiva saves him with his power and rage.
It is thus clearly established that Vishnu is always maintaining his state
While Shiva, to protect loved ones, gets ferocious and destroys things.
In this story, enters the third wheel of the Trinity, who himself doesn’t want to be a part of this unlawful world — the Cop, Bramhaya
but ultimately ends up becoming the mastermind of this world, creating a world of deception, deceit and lies for Shiva and Hari.
Now, we can absolutely go figuring out the many mythological references
but it’s interesting to see — if at all the Gods are as helpless and humane by choice, like us.
To me, it shows striking resemblances to actually 3 kinds of human personality…
1. Shiva
the ones who are so mad for their loved ones and always protect them,
then viewed as the villain
2. Hari
the ones who do nothing at all in this drama being played, enjoy Shiva’s protection
and appear the Hero to the world
3. Bramhaya
the ones who appear from nowhere, exist all the time, never to be seen
but are the mastermind playing at hindsight
Do you relate to any 1 or 2 or all the 3 types of these personas?
You don’t have to tell me
but what a lesson in psychology and treat to watch this movie was
