Men and the Goddess (Re: S/S?)

 

1. There is one contradiction in this story. After having immolated

Herself in the sacrificial fire, Sati's corpse was still available

for Shivji to carry around for Vishnu to cut into pieces to remove

Shivji's disillusion. How was it possible? That was a question my

daughter asked, and I could not find an answer. Can any one

elucidate?

2. Insult, or character assassination is worse than death, many will

say. Here too, the same must have happened.

3. Shivji was unconsolable because Sati sacrificed Herself to uphold

the glory of her Husband. His action was a manifestation of His love

for Sati who had sacrificed Herself because of Her love for Shivji.

4. Actions of great souls cannot be gauged and judged on the basis

of convnetional rationale!

good question, vnathan! i guess you have answered your own question-

sati jumped into the sacrificial fire and burnt herself to avenge for

her husband shiva's insult? then, how come a 'corpse' is available?

 

well, with god/.goddesses all things are possible is it not? as you

have rightly mentioned, actions of great noble souls cannot be

justified on conventional grounds! smiles!!!!

 

i really liked your response to my questions-

 

for a hindu stree , her husband is equal to god- that is where the

expression -"pati is parameshwar" is derived from!

 

and the prema bhava between shiva-and shakti cannot be explained in

terms of ordinary passions- it is supreme or eternal love! shiv and

shakti are one soul even though in two bodies! also, sati was reborn

again as parvati to again win the hand of her eternal consort, shiva.

the relationship between shiva and shakti is eternal-

 

members, we would like to hear your coments on vnathan's beautiful

response!

 

love
