Navratri: Importance of Shakti worship in Navadurga, know the secret of Mother Sati

Sati, daughter of Prajapati Daksha, was also called the queen of Aryans. Daksha's kingdom was in the Kashmir region of the Himalayas. It is said that this goddess used to kill Asuras in association with sage Kashyapa.

Mother Sati saw Kailashwasi Shiva one day, and she fell in love with him. On one side there were Aryans and on the other side, non-Aryans. But Sati married Lord Shiva against the wishes of Prajapati Daksha. Daksha was not satisfied with this marriage, as Sati had married a man of her choice, whose costumes and appearance Daksha did not like at all. However, there were many other reasons.

Daksha conducted a huge yajna but did not send an invitation to his son-in-law and daughter to the yagya. Still Sati reached her father's yagna. But Daksha expressed a feeling of neglect on the arrival of her daughter and said derogatory things about Shiva in front of Sati. Hearing abusive things about her husband for Sati was heartbreaking and grossly insulting. She could not tolerate all this and was frustrated by this insult, she jumped into the sacrificial fire and sacrificed her life.

Sati was also hurt that she had gone into this yagna despite her husband's refusal and by telling her ten powerful (ten Mahavidya) forms - frightening her husband Shiva into believing that Sati had to give permission to go there. Such behaviour was done by the husband towards himself and insult to the husband by the father who could not tolerate Sati and Yagya jumped into the tank. This is where the story of Sati becoming a power begins. After this, the story of the nine births of the mother begins.

On hearing this news, Shiva sent Virabhadra, who beheaded Daksha. After this, Shiva danced the Tandava by holding sadi's body on his head. Seeing distraught of the three worlds including the earth, Lord Vishnu started slicing Sati's body through his Sudarshan Chakra.

In this way, the part of Sati's body and the ornaments that were worn, where it fell - there Shaktipeeth came into existence. Devi Bhagwat mentions 108 Shaktipeeths, then Devi Gita mentions 72 Shaktipeeths. The Devi Purana discusses 51 Shaktipeeths. Even today only 51 Shaktipeeths are found, but due to some Shaktipeeths in Pakistan, Bangladesh and Sri Lanka, their existence is in danger.

Sati is the power:

Power is created and power is destructed. Vedas say that this universe is governed by the power ... If the body or mind does not have power, then what is the use of body and mind? We exist in the world only on the strength of power. Power is the energy of the universe.

Mother Parvati is also called Shakti. Shakti is called nature in the Vedas, Upanishads and Gita. Saying nature does not mean that nature. Every mother is natural. Wherever there is the power of creation, nature has been considered. That is why mother is called nature. Nature itself has the power to give birth.

The tradition of Anadikal has made the form of mother and her life secret very contradictory. The power of the universe has been called Chidya or Prakriti in the Vedas. It is called Para in the Gita. Similarly, this power is given different names in each of the texts, but it has nothing to do with Shiva's Goddess Parvati.

Siddhis and powers exist in this entire universe. We also have many powers within ourselves. Knowledge, willpower, mind: power and action, etc. The powers are infinite. In the Veda it is called Chitta Shakti. From which the universe is born. This power is within everyone.

Purpose of Shakta Dharma:

Save power. Worship the power. Power is life. Power is religion. Shakti is the truth. Power is everywhere and power is the need of all of us. Be strong, be brave, be fearless, be independent and be powerful. That is why the seekers of Nath and Shakta sect keep doing various types of yoga and sadhana to become powerful.
