Guest guest Posted November 12, 2003 Report Share Posted November 12, 2003 Hello Sir, You wanted to know about Goddess Sati and Goddess Parvathi. Lord Vishnu and Lord Brahma wanted Lord Shiva to get married and They requested Goddess Uma to be born as the daughter of Daksha Prajapathi, the son of Brahma. Goddess Uma was born as Goddess Sati, the daughter of Daksha hence the Goddess is also known as Dakshayani. Goddess Sati won over Lord Shiva and married Him much against the wishes of Her father, Daksha. Daksha disliked Shiva very much. Once, Daksha decided to perform a grand yagna and invited all the deziens of the worlds except Goddess Sati and Lord Shiva. Goddess Sati heard of it and with love on Her family, wanted to attend the Yagna but Lord Shiva did not want to. But He could not refuse Goddess Sati attending the Yagna. Goddess Sati went to the Yagna where Daksha insulted Lord Shiva, and Goddess Sati for marrying Him. Unable to bear the insult of Her Husband, Goddess Sati took a Vow that She will again be reborn to a father whom She can respect and who will respect Her wishes and Her Family and then be united again with Lord Shiva and Goddess Sati jumped into the Yagna fire. (Some say she created fire out of Her Yogic power and immolated Herself). Lord Shiva got enraged and created Lord Veerabhadhra from His matted Hair Locks and sent Him to destroy the Yagna of Daksha. Lord Veerabhadhra did so and also beheaded the head of Daksha and threw it into the sacrificial fire. Lord Vishnu and Lord Brahma pacified Lord Shiva, who gave the head of a goat to Daksha and made him alive. Daksha begged for Lord Shiva's forgiveness and completed the Yagna under His guidance. You asked if Goddess Sati had any sisters. Yes, Goddess Sati had many sisters. 27 of Goddess Sati's sisters are the Stars of the constellation whom INDIANS take into account as the birth stars. They are married to the Moon or Chandra. Another 13 of Goddess Sati's sisters were married to Kashyapa Prajapathi. One of them is Aditi, the mother of Lord Indra, Lord Surya and other Gods and also Lord Vamana, the incarnation of Lord Vishnu. Another one is Diti who is the mother of all Daityas and Rakshasas, and also the famous Hiranyakasha and Hiranyakashipu. Another of them is Vinata, who is the mother of Garuda. Another of them is kadru the mother of all Snakes. Thus each of the 13 daughters of Daksha (Wives of Kashyapa and also Goddess Sati's sisters) populated the Earth. Goddess Sati, true to Her word was reborn as Goddess Parvathi, to Himavan, the mountain king and Mena, the heavenly nymph. She loved Shiva from Her childhood. Himavan took Her to serve Lord Shiva. There was a Rakshasa named Tarakasura who obtained boons from Lord Brahma that he should only die at the hands of the son of Shiva. He thought since Lord Shiva was doing penance after the death of Goddess Sati and became an ascetic. Indra and other Gods asked Kama, the God of Love to shoot his arrows on Lord Shiva when Goddess Parvathi was near Him. Kama did so only to be burnt by the anger of Lord Shiva, who opened His third Eye. Rati, the Wife of Kama obtained a boon that from now only She could see Him. Goddess Parvathi, who in Her grief of not able to win over Lord Shiva with Her beauty, now did great and severe penance and won over Lord Shiva and got married to Him, never to get seperated from Him again. Lord Ganesha is the son of Parvathi and so is Lord Kumara Swamy or Karthikeya who killed Tarakasura and His evil asura/rakshasa brothers. I do not know if Goddess Parvathi has any sisters. But I remember reading somewhere that Parvathi had a brother, a Mountain, whose was a flying one, whose wings were cut of by Indra. Correct me if i am wrong, anyone. I hope you liked this article I have given you, Sir. Please correct me if I am wrong. Please do reply to me about this. I will be waiting for your reply. All The Best, Take Care. Bye. Sandeep.

Sati's father was Daksha, who was the father of Parvati? Who were the mothers of Sati and Parvati? Are there any sisters, childhood friends or female servants of Sati whose names are mentioned in the scriptures? What about Parvati's sisters, childhood friends and female servants? When Sati married Shiva, was she accompanied by one of her sisters or by female servants from her maternal family? What about Parvati?
