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.

Jai Maa Jwala Ji of Kangra

Jwala Devi

The ancient Jwala Maa temple marks the spot that received Mata Sati's tongue as Lord Shiva danced around the world holding her body in her hands. Maa is represented here in the form of a jyoti that burns on its own out of the ground. The flame is considered to be a sakshat roop of Devi. Every year a Navratra fair is held in July/August months to honor the goddess. 

Mata Jwala is the fire of penance and bhakti in which our lower natures are burnt to ashes and we are restored to our original form. Jawala ji grants us the energy to embark on spiritual quests and grants us her grace that makes all four purushartas possible - dharma, artha, kama and moksha. 

May Mata Jwala Ji of Kangra, the empress of the universe, bless all her devotees with the gifts of compassion and love for all sentient beings! Jwala Ji ki Jai! Jai Mata Di!

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!
