Narayan! Narayan! Narayan!
Lord of the lords, Mahadeva! Narayan!
Greetings, O Sage!
Why have you summoned me, O Lord?
I am in much trouble, O Sage!
The Great Lord in trouble?
Impossible!
What troubles you, Lord?
My abode is in peril, O Sage!
Your abode!
Yes, Sage!
There is no snow on the Himalayas
The Everest is bare, snowless! Look!
Narayan! Narayan!
Raise it, O Sage!
Jugal Himal!
Narayan!
Kanchenjungha
Narayan!
The snow is melting, O Sage!
Narayan!
Na...
Uh... uh... uh. Narayan! Narayan! O Lord!
Calamity! Great calamity!
I couldn’t save anyone! What is this calamity, O Lord?
What is happening, O Sage?
Why aren’t my powers working?
Lord!
I am confused too
The reason snow has melted away...
Why are the mountains bare of snow?
Uh... uh... Mountain Lord Parbat must know the reason
Lord Himalaya!
Yes!
Alright, Sage
Send a message to Lord Himalaya
As you wish, Lord!
Narayan! Narayan! Narayan!
The network is busy, Lord!
I couldn’t reach him, Lord! Network is busy!
Alright then, Sage!
Let’s meet him where he is then
As you wish, Lord!
Let’s go right away, Sage
As you wish, Lord!
Narayan! Narayan! Narayan!
Narayan! Narayan! O Lord!
We are at Lord Himalaya’s gates
Lord of the Mountains! Narayan!
Tashi Delek, Narada! Tashi Delek!
Ah! Mahadeva is also here! Tashi Delek!
How did you end up here?
Lord Himalaya! Tashi Delek! Tashi Delek! (Gibberish)
Or, our Mountain Lord!
When will you start letting some snow stick to you?
Because you don’t let snow stick, Mahadeva’s abode is in great peril
Where will I bring snow to stick on me?
All the snow has melted away
Narayan!
I can’t stick water to my sides! It hasn’t snowed.
So, I haven’t been wearing snow
Narayan!
(Gibberish)
Narayan! What should we do then?
Well, Narada... You'll have to ask Cloud, because...
Cloud should come wandering and run into my side
Then it might rain
The air might get colder, it might snow, and then I might be able to wear it
Cloud! He never stays put... wanders here, wanders there...
You should find him, ask him...
Narayan! Narayan! Lord!
So the reason the mountains are bare…
It is not because of Lord Himalaya
He says it is because of Cloud!
What should we do?
It seems Cloud is the culprit here...
Yes, Lord!
Alright, Sage! Get hold of Cloud!
Let’s not call him! The network will be busy.
Let's just track him down
Excellent thought! Let’s go!
As you command, Lord!
Narayan! Narayan! Narayan!
Narayan! Narayan! Shambho! Narayan!
Narayan! Narayan! Narayan!...Narayan!
Lord! It is impossible get Rain Cloud to be still
He never stays in one spot
He is a wanderer, rushing hither-thither
What should I do, Lord?
Control him, O Sage!
Control Rain Cloud?
Lord Rain Cloud! Narayan!
Rain Cloud is very clever! I will never be able to control him
You must use your divine powers, Lord!
Lord Rain Cloud! (Gibberish)
Translation: Why haven’t you snowed on the mountains?
Because you haven’t rained, there is no snow on the mountains
What snow was there has melted away!
The mountains are bare
Why haven’t you rained on the mountains?
I am without blame here, Lord
Wind, the frisky ***, chases me hither and thither...
...there to here, here to there, she chases me all over the world
And Mr. Ocean blows hot vapors on me... So much hot vapors
I just can’t follow a fixed course anymore, Lord!
Narayan! Narayan! Lord!
Rain Cloud says it isn’t his fault, Lord
He blames Mr. Ocean's hot vapors! What should we do?
Sage! We must ask Mr. Ocean to explain everything
Yes, we must, Lord!
Call him!
Narayan! Narayan! Na...! Narayan!
The network is still busy, Lord!
The call got stuck in the middle... I can’t reach him
We’re wasting time trying to call him...
Excellent thought, Sage! Let’s run there
As you command, Lord
Narayan! Narayan! Narayan!
Narayan! Narayan! Narayan! Shambho!
Narayan! Narayan! Narayan!
Narayan! Narayan! Lord ! We are at Mr. Ocean’s place
Speak to him, Sage!
As you command, Lord!
Lord! He is very hot! He is in a raging boil! What should I do?
Try again, Sage!
Again? As you wish!
Narayan! Narayan! Narayan!
Nara....! Narayan!
Lord! I fear I will cook right through!
Please use your divine powers! My powers are useless here...
Who are you?
Narayan!
This is the Lord of Kailash, Shivaji himself, the Mahadeva
Who Mahadeva? I don’t know him
Blasphemy! Blasphemy!
Lord of all lords, God of the Gods, Mahaveda
He whose abode is atop Mount Kailasha
Who lives on Kailasha? Shivaji? I don’t know
Lord Mahaveda, God of the Himalayas
Oh ... Lord? Hi, Shiva! How are you?
No, no! Do a pranam... no hi...
Oh! Pranam!
Mr. Ocean ! Why this so.. saa? (gibberish)
Translation:
Why are you troubling Cloud?
Why have you made him so fat?
Why've you made him so fat that he lets go wherever he feels like?
Why are you troubling Cloud by making so much vapor?
I won’t trouble Cloud... No more!
Cloud gets himself into trouble
Narayan!
Vapour rises... goes up, up...Sun makes me do it...
My surface is rising because of the Sun... I rise, and drown a few islands, countries
I can’t control! It isn’t in my control!
Lord! He says this isn’t because of him
He blames Lord Sun for all the confusion! What should we do?
Sage! It seems the sun is the problem!
Yes, Lord!
In that case, we must question Lord Sun
Absolutely, Lord!
Call Lord Sun!
As you wish, Lord
Narayan! Narayan! Narayan!
For the first time, I got through, Lord!
But, Lord! The message burned to ashes before reaching Lord Sun!
Lord Sun’s heat will let any message through!
I think we'll have to go in person
Excellent thought! Let’s get cracking!
As you command, Lord!
Narayan! Narayan! Narayan!
Narayan! Narayan! Lord! We have reached Lord Sun!
Talk to him, Sage!
As you command, Lord!
Narayan! Narayan! Lord!
Lord Sun is in great heat! Red! What should I do, Lord?
Try again!
Again? As you wish, Lord!
Narayan! Narayan! Narayan! Oh, Lord!
My hair is on fire, Lord!
I can't do it! Please use your own divine powers!
Alright, Sage
Lord Sun! (Gibberish)
Why have you become so hot that Earth's surface is boiling?
Why have you increased global warming?
Why are you boiling up the oceans?
I... burn... burn... burn...The earth... burn... burn.
Lord, Sun is sending just as much heat and light to the Earth as he is supposed to
He says it isn't his fault
In that case, hurrr... hurrr... hurrr...
Hurrr... Ozone... hurrr... Humans... hurrr... Greenhouse gases... hurrr...
Sun says Earth is heating up because of man-made greenhouse gases
Goddess Ozone has become very emaciated, he says...
What is should we do, Lord?
Lady Ozone is getting thin?
Yes, Lord!
Alright, Sage! Let's meet Lady Ozone first
As you command, Lord!
Narayan! Narayan! Narayan!
Narayan! Narayan! Lord!
Lady Ozone is diminishing like the waning moon!
What do you think is the reason, Lord?
Ask her! Talk to her, Sage!
Narayan! Lady Ozone! Why have you become so thin?
I don't feel very well these days, Lord!
I don't know why... I just don't feel good any more
Have you been doing drugs, Ozone?
You let ultraviolet rays through to the Earth!
Why didn't you block it?
Narayan! Narayan!
I knew Mahadeva was flirtatious, but now I've seen it
He never talked to anyone before,
After meeting a beautiful goddess, poetry flows from his lips!
I am not to blame for this, Lord!
Chlorofluro carbons prick my side, what am I to do, Lord?
Narayan! Narayan! Lord!
What is this chlorofluro carbon?
Hahaha! Hahaha! Who is talking about me? Hahaha!
I am very powerful! Hahaha! Hahaha!
Lord! This must be the Greenhouse Gas the Lord Sun mentioned before...
Who are you? Why are you getting fatter?
I am Greenhouse Gas!
I get fatter as humans make more pollution!
They use more minerals, I get fatter!
They use coal, I get fatter!
They use plastic, I get fatter!
I let sunrays come into the earth, but not let them reflect back!
I let Sun's ultraviolet rays get to earth, but keep them trapped!
Hahaha... I am very powerful! Hahaha... Hahaha...
Lord! She boasts that she is very powerful!
Please use your divine power, Lord!
I am getting fatter!
Gods and goddesses can do nothing against me!
Nobody can do anything against me! hahaha
Only humans can stop me... If they want!
Only if humans want to stop me if they want! Hahaha...
Lord! This is a great threat, Lord!
I am astounded, Sage! My powers fail before her?
Your powers... we shouldn't doubt them, Lord! But, they failed, Lord!
What I think is... like she said...
It is humans who control her!
Therefore, only humans can solve this...
What should we do? I wait your command!
We'll have to interrogate humans
Arrange for us to go to Earth
As you wish, Lord!
Narayan! Narayan! Narayan!
Lord! Let's see Earth from the skies for a bit
Sage! What is this noise?
I can also hear people crying, Lord?
This scream?
Look, Lord!
I have fallen sick! I am ill!
So torn, so hurt!
I have fallen sick!
Lord!
There is trouble here, Lord!
I have fallen sick!
Beings and plants have been destroyed!
Landslides have happened
Our crops have failed...
It rained incessantly...
There were droughts...
There were wildfires...
Everything was destroyed!
Narayan! Narayan! Lord!
Humans have been exploiting Nature
Look how ravaged she is! What should we do?
We must question the humans directly.
Let's go to them, Sage!
As you wish
Animals and plants have been destroyed, Landslides have happened,
Our crops have failed, it rained incessantly, there were droughts...
Everything was destroyed! I have fallen sick!
Animals and plants have been destroyed, Landslides have happened,
Our crops have failed, it rained incessantly, there were droughts...
Everything was destroyed! I have fallen sick!
Kainla! What is happening these days?
I don't know what the troubles are...
We can't grow potatoes anymore... what'll we eat?
We don't have herbs to sell... how will we make a living?
You are talking about wild herbs!
The apple crop that did so well last year has been absolutely ruined this year!
What is happening now?
It isn't just the herbs and the apples...
where one crop should grow, another...
Where potatoes should grow, huge cauliflowers.
Cauliflowers from the plains are growing in the mountains...
And the pestilence of insects that have increased in this season!
I had never seen so many insects! I'm tired of them
That's what I said...
Now that you mention insects...
the mosquitoes don't let people sleep in the mountains
I wonder what is happening!
I just don't know!
There is a drought when it should be raining for the rice-planting season
Exactly!
But it rains when we should be harvesting crops... What's happening?
Sometimes there is a deluge and sometimes there is a drought!
The Gods must be angry at us!
Yes! Yes!
We should all pray to Mahadeva, God of the gods
Yes! Yes!
Let's start!
Mahadeva, please give us rain!
Spare us drought and pain!
Mahadeva, please give us rain!
Spare us drought and pain!
Mahadeva, please give us rain!
Spare us drought and pain!
Mahadeva, please give... Glory!
Calm, Lord! Calm!
Lord!
We are ruined, Lord!
Is this Mahadeva?
Na...Na...Narayan !
We are in dire straits,
Lord! Save us, Lord!
Yes, Lord! We no longer find wild herbs to collect!
Our cattle will die of hunger. Help us, Lord!
Narayan !
That isn't all, Lord... We can't find flowers and incense to offer to you
Sometimes deluge, sometimes drought! We're very troubled, Lord!
Lord! The rich crop of potatoes we used to get failed totally this year!
Yes, God!
Wildfire swept through our crops and property
We are absolutely ruined, Lord! What should we do?
You've heard everything, Lord...
Mankind will be destroyed. What should we do? Please protect us, Lord!
Calm, foolish humans, calm!
Your suffering stems from your own actions
Because of us?
What have we done? How?
You've brought changes in the environment
Really? How?
You've destroyed the forests
He is responsible for destroying forests
He owns four mills!
He has a furniture shop, Lord!
You've polluted the rivers
People of Kathmandu did that, Lord, not us
City-dwellers did it
They put the sewer into the river
Chemical pollution is increasing
We didn't do that, Lord! Industrialists are doing that, not us
He owns three factories
You've over-exploited minerals
Again, the industrialists do that, not us
Air pollution, plastic trash are increasing
All the noodles come in plastic packets, what are we to do?
Narayan, Narayan! Do you only blame each other for climate change?
But you are also responsible for protecting the environment, the air and water, and nature
Lord Mahadeva decrees that...
You are not being protected by Mahadeva... But by the abode of Gods - The Himalayas
The monsoons happen because the Himalayas stop southern clouds
Because of which the land and forests and water are protected
Rivers like the Sandhog, Gang, Brahmaputra all originate in the Himalayas
They exist because of the mountains
If you want security for yourself
You must first protect the snow-clad Himalayas and the nature around it
Lord, we've built temples for you, roofed with gold. Please come and live there
Yes, Lord!
Foolish man!
We worship Goddess Swosthani
Foolish man!
Unless you love and worship nature
Your worshipping me is meaningless
Narayan! Narayan! You talk about the Swosthani story
Worship of the land you inhabit, worship the natural space you inhabit
The very same story says -
There is as much merit in planting a tree as donating a thousand cows
That is true!
Therefore, worship nature
How, Lord?
Practice good stewardship of nature, water, land and forest
Only then can you worship nature
So, we must plant trees!
I won't cut them, no matter what!
Yes, Lord, yes! We will do exactly as you ask
Yes, yes, yes!
Worshipping Mahadeva won't get us anything
No, no! Worship Mahadeva, certainly do it
But, alongside him, worship his abode
Celebrate not only festivals devoted to Mahadeva, but also festivals for his abode
So, we should also celebrate the Himalayas!
By all means, Celebrate! Only then can we protect the Himalaya
Love nature! Celebrate nature!
That is to worship me
Yes, Lord!
Should we leave, Lord?
Certainly!
Alright! Protect nature
Save yourself from disasters. And save us from disaster
Hail Mahadeva!
Hail Mahadeva!
Hail Kailashpati! Hail Shambho!
I am nature, let me live!
I am nature, let me laugh!
I am nature, let me dance!
