Shiva/Saraswati: Love of Leviathan

Two deities engage in an Earth adventure but one must come to terms with the real limits of metaphysical dreams.

A modern Eastern mythology adaptation inspired by Dogma.

Shiva, master deity of destruction/meditation fantasized about an Earth romance-adventure and wanted to transform himself into an Algerian-American blood-diamond infiltration-agent with Interpol-relations. Before he descended to Earth, he was still troubled by his estranged relationships with his two deity-wives Durga (goddess of governance) and Kali (goddess of anarchy) and decided to entreat the younger goddess Saraswati (goddess of learning/music) to find a feeling of peace and love despite his work with meditations on deep warfare and governance. He courted Saraswati by explaining this idea he had of an Earth romance-adventure and entreated her with the offer to become a human temporarily and take up residence with government-work profits in an estate in Rhode Island (Newport).

SHIVA: I'm so lonely, and perhaps you'll find warmth with me in this secret Earth romance-adventure!

SARASWATI: You seem sincere/lonely, and perhaps this adventure has some imagination merits, sweetie.

Shiva began research on blood-diamonds (warlord-mined gems from Africa/Europe used to fund terrorism!) and transformed himself into the Algerian-American blood-diamond infiltration agent Amlan Satan (code-name: Storm-Shadow). He descended to Earth and took up residence at the Rhode Island estate and began bank robberies to lift the terrorism-financing gems from safe-boxes owned by ruthless human capitalism-barons like Goldfinger who controlled North American banks and stored items such as the $20M Vanderbilt blue sapphire-diamond.

Meanwhile, Saraswati transformed into a human Algerian-American fashion-designer named Esmerelda and temporarily agreed to accompany Shiva/Amlan on this special/secret Earth romance-adventure involving blood-diamond infiltration/intrigue. She joined him in his Rhode Island estate and became his temporary girlfriend!

Shiva/Amlan was an expert Othello-player and wanted to play games of Othello on the computer against his new (temporary) girlfriend Sarasawati/Esmerelda whom he was delighted was quite excellent at the board-game. The two became fast-friends through the Othello-game, and Shiva/Amlan realized he's falling in love but feared the feeling was mutual only mostly intellectually.

SHIVA/AMLAN: I've made some comic-book doodles depicting our odd couple relationship on Earth!

SARASWATI/ESMERELDA: These are darling, sweetie; but I don't want you to become too attached to me through this.

Shiva/Amlan began reading Commando war-comics featuring colorful storylines of extraordinary human soldiers called Cossacks on horseback in old Eastern Europe and shared this newfound artistic-historian passion with Saraswati/Esmerelda whom he realized was not too too impressed with this strict war-like imagination regarding the mobilization of everyday peoples on Earth. However, he still found her beautiful and continued to think of his comics-imagination as an ideal gateway to reaching her heart through fables about unusual courage/love.

Shiva/Amlan then had a dream one night while sleeping (in Rhode Island!) in which he's visited by the spirit of the great Black-Dragon who seemed to want to challenge the deity of destruction/meditation in a discussion about the complex contours of Shiva's odd imagination-adventure quest on Earth and through blood-diamond work and wondered if the deity was actually succeeding in finding moments of serendipitous love/romance with Saraswati/Esmerelda!

SHIVA/AMLAN: If humanity is the lyric of love, let's play Othello.

BLACK-DRAGON: I suspect your deep love of Saraswati/Esmerelda is only one-way, Shiva.

SHIVA: How'd you mean?
BLACK-DRAGON: Her heart belongs to other men and not you completely!

SHIVA: So, I'm failing to woo her in this 'escape' dream from my estranged deity-wives?

BLACK-DRAGON: Didn't you suspect further warfare-intrigue work (blood-diamonds) wouldn't soften you?

SHIVA: I wanted to construct a 'diorama' of daydreams on Earth through this romance-adventure.

BLACK-DRAGON: Your destiny is one of solitude mostly, Lord Shiva.

SHIVA: I wonder then if this mission was one of a contemplation of the dart-mouth of power.
