  Marriage of Durga   Next Page   More Articles
 

Marriage of Shiva and Parvati is a two-episode love story stretching from one lifetime to another. Devi Durga took birth for the first time as Sati, one of sixty daughters of King Dakshya and Prasuti. Dakshya was son of Brahma, one of the Trinity of Hindu Mythology, the Lord of creation. Sati fell in love for Shiva, the Lord of destruction among the Trinity.

Her parents were afraid to give her hands to a half-naked, unclean homeless mendicant  and haunter of cemeteries like Shiva. All the other daughters of Dakshya were married to eminent persons of Heaven, Earth and Hell like Maharshi Kashyap, Dharmaraj Yama  (Lord of Death),

 

Chandra (Moon) etc. and all of them live among riches. 
Dakshya  arranged Sati's "Saymbar" (the ceremony where a woman could choose her husband from among the invited guests) inviting all except Shiva. Sati refused to alter her choice and married Mahadeva (lord of lords) Shiva by trick. She prayed before her lord to

appear and threw her garland in air. Shiva appeared and accepted the marriage appeal of Sati. Thus the desperate Sati married Shiva against the wishes of her parents. She denied all the riches given by her father to compensate her earthly loss and adorned her beloved's dress of tiger skin. He had saved the world during the churning of Ocean of Milk by drinking the venom of Vishnu's serpent Vasuki. All Lords of Heaven honour her husband. How could she be a looser? Before his love stood not even all riches of Kuvera, the Lord of Wealth of Hindu Mythology.
