अद्भुत पौराणिक कथा : शिव और सती का प्रेम

दक्ष प्रजापति की सभी पुत्रियां गुणवती थीं। फिर भी दक्ष के मन में संतोष नहीं था। वे चाहते थे उनके घर में एक ऐसी पुत्री का जन्म हो, जो सर्व शक्ति-संपन्न हो एवं सर्वविजयिनी हो। अत: दक्ष एक ऐसी ही पुत्री के लिए तप करने लगे। तप करते-करते अधिक दिन बीत गए, तो भगवती आद्या ने प्रकट होकर कहा, 'मैं तुम्हारे तप से प्रसन्न हूं। तुम किस कारण तप कर रहे हो? दक्ष ने तप करने का कारण बताया तो मां बोली मैं स्वयं पुत्री रूप में तुम्हारे यहां जन्म धारण करूंगी। मेरा नाम होगा सती।

मैं सती के रूप में जन्म लेकर अपनी लीलाओं का विस्तार करूंगी। फलतः भगवती आद्या ने सती रूप में दक्ष के यहां जन्म लिया। सती दक्ष की सभी पुत्रियों में सबसे अलौकिक थीं। सती ने बाल्यावस्था में ही कई ऐसे अलौकिक आश्चर्य चकित करने वाले कार्य कर दिखाए थे, जिन्हें देखकर स्वयं दक्ष को भी विस्मयता होती रहती थी। जब सती विवाह योग्य हो गई, तो दक्ष को उनके लिए वर की चिंता होने लगी। उन्होंने ब्रह्मा जी से इस विषय में परामर्श किया।

ब्रह्मा जी ने कहा, सती आद्या की अवतार हैं। आद्या आदि शक्ति और शिव आदि पुरुष हैं। अतः सती के विवाह के लिए शिव ही योग्य और उचित वर हैं। दक्ष ने ब्रह्मा जी की बात मानकर सती का विवाह भगवान शिव के साथ कर दिया। सती कैलाश में जाकर भगवान शिव के साथ रहने लगीं। भगवान शिव के दक्ष के दामाद थे, किंतु किसी वजह से दक्ष के ह्रदय में भगवान शिव के प्रति बैर और विरोध भाव पैदा हो गया।

How the Shakti Peethas came into existence

Sati, the wife of Lord Shiva jumped into the yagya fire after her husband was insulted by her father Daksha. Shiva was so angry and grief strucken that he carried her body in his arms and danced his fearsome tandava dance. 

Every spot where a body part of Mata Sati fell became a Shakti Peetha - a place where the Mother Goddess is worshipped with rituals as old as time.

Himalayan Devi Yatra led by a four-horned sheep

Nanda Devi, a powerful manifestation of Devi Sati, that is dear to the people of Kumaon and Garhwal regions of Uttarakhand, is honoured in a huge 21-day procession attended by thousands of people through the Uttarakhand Himalayas. The occasion called the Raj Jat is held once in 12 years and was attended by over 5,000 people who trekked through 280-km of difficult terrain to complete the Raj Jat. 

Nanda Devi chooses her ram (Male sheep) born with four horns instead of two! The Ram is understood to belong to the goddess and is brought up with a lot of care. At the culmination of the Raj Jat, the sheep is dressed in finery and precious metals and freed so it can ascend the Himalayas on its own. It is in fact the This is how Mahashakti Nanda Devi calls her ram home. 

May Bhagwati Nanda of the Himalayas bless us all with intelligence, compassion and abundance!

Brahmin worships the Devi blindfolded in this temple

 

The Chandrabadani temple in Pratap nagar, Uttarakhand does not have an idol but a Sri Yantra that is worshiped once a year by the Brahmin priests who tie a blindfold on their eyes before offering abhishek to the Goddess. 

The Chandrabadani temple stands at the spot where the torso (neck to waist) of Devi Sati's is said to have fallen during Shiva's tandava that followed the jumping of Mata Sati in the hawan kund of her father Himavat who had dishonoured her husband.  

As Sati's weapons are said to have also fallen  at this spot, hundreds of iron trishuls and statues are found every day around this temple.

May Mata Chandrabadani, the beloved of Lord Bholenath, protect us all!
