"Bhairava" refers to the corresponding consort, each a manifestation of Shiva
"Sati" refers to the Goddess worshipped at each location, all being manifestations of Dakshayani, Parvati or Durga) The various parts of the body fell at several spots all through the Indian subcontinent and formed sites which are known as Shakti Peethas today.Īt all Shakti Peethas, the Goddess Shakti is accompanied by Lord Bhairava (a manifestation of Lord Shiva). The other gods intervened to stop this dance, and the Vishnu 's weapon, or Sudarshana Chakra, cut through the corpse of Sati. Still immersed in grief, he picked up the remains of Sati's body, and danced the dance of destruction through the Universe. Sati was unable to bear her father's insults toward her husband, so Dakshayani (the other name of Sati meaning the daughter of Daksha) invoked her yogic powers and immolated herself.Įnraged at the insult and the injury, Shiva destroyed Daksha's sacrifice, cut off Daksha's head, and later replaced it with that of a male goat as he restored him to life due to prayers of all demi gods and Brahmaji. Shiva eventually allowed her to go escorted by his followers.īut Sati, being an uninvited guest, was not given any respect. She had expressed her desire to attend to Shiva who had tried his best to dissuade her from going. The fact that she was not invited did not deter Sati from attending the yagna. Daksha invited all the deities to the yagna except for Shiva and Sati.
Daksha was angry because his daughter Dakshayani also known as Sati had married the 'yogi' God Shiva against his wish. Goddess Sati is the incarnation of Maa Parvati, the kindly goddess of harmony, marital felicity and longevity, with Durga, goddess of strength and valour, and with Mahakali, goddess of destruction of the evil.Īccording to Hindu Mythology and Legend, in the SatYuga, Daksha performed a yajna (Yagya) with a desire to take revenge on Lord Shiva. The Shakti Peethas ( holy places of cosmic and enormous power) are places of worship of Goddess.
