Jai Sri Ram,
Even though Sri Hari uses the serpent as his conch and sleeps thereon,
The wise do not blame him for the same,
Again, water of every description, pure as well as impure, flows into the Ganga,
Yet no one calls heavenly stream impure, even like a sun, fire and the Ganga, the mighty incure no sin,
May Lord bless all,
Thanks, please
Jai Sri Ram,
The word of celestial sage Narada could not be untrue, Uma cherished them in her heart, and love for the lotus feet of Shiva sprouted in her heart, she, however, felt different in her mind, union with Shiva appeared so difficult to her, finding the time inopportune for its disclosure, she concealed her emotion and then sat down in the lap of one of her playmates, the prediction of the sage could not be false,
The thought made Himavan and his wife as well as the senior playmates anxious, collecting himself, the lord of mountains said, tell me, holy sir, what remedy should now be employed,
The chief of sages, Narada, replied, hear, O Himvan, whatever has been decreed by fate no one can undo, not even gods, demons, humans, Nagas or sages,
Nevertheless, I tell you one remedy, this may avail if heaven helps you, Uma will undoubtedly get such a husband as I have described to you, but whatever demerits I have shown in her bridegroom exists in Shiva so far as I can guess if her marriage takes place with Sankara, everyone will call the demerits as good as virtues,
May Lord Bless all,
Thanks, please
Jai Sri Ram,
You know everything, including the past, present, and future, and have access everywhere, therefore, O good sage, tell me what is good and what is bad about my daughter after mature consideration, the sage smilingly in the following soft yet significant words, your daughter is a mine of all virtues, pretty, amiable and intelligent by nature, she will be called Uma, Ambica, Bhavani,
Adorned with all good traits, the girl, the girl shall win the unfailing love of her husband, she shall remain ever united with her lord and bring glory to her parents, she shall command the respect of the whole universe, he who waits to be enabled to tread the path of fidelity to their lord, which is sharp as the edge of a sword,
Your Daughter, O Himalaya, is endowed with auspicious marks, hear now the law few drawbacks she possesses, devoid of merits, free from pride, without father or mother, unconcerned and free from doubts, an ascetic with hair and a heart devoid of longing, stark naked and with hideouts accouterments, such a one shall be her lord, as I can read from the lines on her palm,
Hearing the words of the sage and believing them to be true, Himalaya and his wife become disconsolate, while Uma felt delighted, even Narada could not perceive this difference, even though their outer expression was the same, their feeling was different, Girija and all her playmates, Himalaya, and his wife, mean, all had their hair standing on their end and their eyes were full of tears,
May Lord bless all,
Thanks, please
Jai Sri Ram,

Jai Sri Ram,
Sankara got all the news and in his wrath he sent Virabhdra, going there the latter made havoc with the sacrifice and required all the gods according to their desserts, as is well known to the world, Daksha met the same fate which an opponent of Sambhu generally meets, the story is known throughout the world, that is why I have told it in brief, while dying, Sati Asked a boon of Sri Hari that she might remain devoted to the feet of Shiva in all successful births, that is why she reborn as Parvati, ever since Uma was born in the house of Himalaya the mountain became an abode of all blessings and prosperity, sages built beautiful hermitages here and there and Himalaya assigned them suitable abodes,
Young trees of different varieties were endowed with falling blossoms and fruits, and mines of jewels of various kinds appeared on the beautiful mountains, all the rivers bore holy waters, birds, beasts, and bees, all rejoiced, all animals up their natural antipathies and all those who dwelt on the mountain loved one another, with the advent of Girija the mountain wore a cheerful look even as devotion to Sri Rama lights up the face of devotees,
Every day brought a new delight to the house of Himachal, whose glory was sung even by great gods like Brahma, receiving all the news Narada eagerly went to the house of Himachal, and the king mountains received him with great honor, washing the sage's feet he led him to a beautiful seat, he bowed his head at the sage's feet he fed him to a beautiful seat,
He bowed his head at the sage's feet along with his wife and had a whole mansion sprinkled with the water hollowed by his feet, Himachal extolled his own luck and summoned his daughter, placed her at the sage's feet,
May Lord bless all,
Thanks, please
Jai Sri Ram,
There is great rejoicing at my father's house, O Lord, if you grant me leave, I would fain go and see it, O storehouse of compassion, Lord Shiva replied, Your suggestion is good and has commended itself to me as well, but the anomaly is that your father has sent no invitation to us, Daksha has invited all his daughters but because of the grudge he bears to me you too have been ignored, in the court of Brahma he once took offense at my behavior,
That is why he insults us even now, if you go there uninvited, Bhavani, all decorum, affection, and honor will be cast to the winds, it is no doubt true one should call on one's friend, master, father, or teacher without waiting for a formal invitation, yet where someone nurses a grudge against you, you reap no good by going there, Sambhu expostulated with Sati in so many ways, but as fate had willed if wisdom would not be drawn on her, the lord repeated once more that if she went to her father's place uninvited, he anticipated no good results from it,
Having reasoned with her in ways more than one when Hara at last perceived that the daughter of Daksha was not going to stay, the slayer of Tripura detailed a few of his principal attendants as her escort and sent her away, When Bhavani reached her father's house, no one greeted her for fear of incurring Daksha's displeasure, her mother was the solitary figure who meets her kindly, her sisters received her with rage at the sight of Sati, Sati then went to have a look at the sacrifice, but nowhere did she find any share of oblations set apart for Sambhu, then did she realize the force of Sankara's warning, her heart burnt within her at the thought of the insult offered to one's own people is the most painful of them all, the thought of the same made Sati furious, her mother tried to pacify Her in many ways,
The insult to Shiva was something unbearable, Her heart could not, therefore, be pacified, then, sharply reproaching the whole assembly, she spoke in angry accents, Hear ya elsers of the assembly and all great sages, All of you who have reviled Sankara or heard him reviled must forthwith reap the fruit of your sin and my father too shall fully repent, wherever you hear a saint, Sambhu or Vishnuvilified, the rule is that if it lies within your power you should tear out the tongue of the reviler or you should run away closing your ears, the slayer of Tripura, the great Lord Shiva is a universal spirit, he is the father of the universe and is beneficial to all, it is him that my stupid father vilified and this body of mine has sprung from the loins of Daksha, therefore, installing in my heart Lord Shiva, who bears the moon on his forehead and a bull as his emblem, I shall immediately quite this body, as she spoke thus burnt her body with the fire of Yoga, a plaintive cry rose from the whole assembly, hearing the Sati's death, the attendants of Sambhu began to destroy the sacrifice, seeing the sacrifice being destroyed, the great sage Bhrigu protected it,
May Lord bless all,
Thanks, please
Jai Sri Ram,
Daksa got together all the sages and they began to perform a big sacrifice, all the gods who obtain a share of the oblations offered at a sacrifice were cordially invited to attend,
Kinnaras, a species of demigods, Nagas, Siddhas that a class of celestials, and Gandharvas that celestial songsters and the whole host of gods proceeded to sacrifice along with their wives, all the gods with the exception of Vishnu, Viranchi Brahma, and the great Lord Shiva, set out in their ariel cars,
Sati beheld beautiful aerial cars of various patterns coursing through the air, and celestial damsels were singing melodious strains, which intruded upon the ears of ascetics and broke their meditation, when Sati inquired about the stir in the air, Shiva explained the whole thing,
She was somewhat delighted to hear of the sacrifice commenced by her father and thought of making it an excuse for staying a few days with her father in case the great lord Shiva granted her leave, repudiation by her lord torrented her heart not a little but conscious of her guilt she would not utter a word, at last Sati spoke in a charming tinged with awe, misgiving, and affection,
May Lord bless all,
Thanks, please
Jai Sri Ram,
Her deep agony was terrible beyond words, when eighty-seven thousand years elapsed, the immortal Sambhu emerged from his trance, Shiva started repeating the name of Rama, then, Sati came to know that the lord of the universe had come to the waking state, she went and bowed to the feet of Shambhu,
Sankara gave her a seat opposite himself, and he began to narrate the delightful stories of Sri Hari, meanwhile, Sati's father had come to the Lord of created beings,
On careful consideration the Brahma found Daksa qualified every day and appointed him as the supreme lord of created beings,
When Daksha attained this high position, the pride of his heart knew no bounds, never was a creature torn in the world, whom power did not intoxicate,
May Lord Bless all,
Thanks, please
Jai Sri Ram,
Then, O all perceiving Lord,
Listen to me and speedily devise some plan whereby,
I may die and be thus rid of this unbearable calamity without much exertion,
The daughter of Daksha, Sati, thus felt miserable,
May Lord bless all,
Thanks, please
Jai Sri Ram,
The grief that preyed on Sati's mind was ever new, for she did not know she would be able to cross the ocean of sorrow, I sighted the Lord Raghuss and again to my husband's words to be untrue,
Providence has repaid me for my sins and has done only that which I deserved, now, O God, it does not behoove you that you should make me survive even after alienating me from Sankara, the anguish of her heart was beyond words,
The sane lady invoked the presence of Rama in her heart and addressed him thus, if they refer to you as compassionate to the poor and if the Vedas have glorified You as the dispeller of sorrow,
I beseech with joined palms, O lord that it may be speedily rid of this body of mine, if I have any devotion to the feet of Shiva and if I am true to my vow in thought, word, and deed,
May Lord Bless all,
Thanks, please
Jai Sri Ram,

Nobody knew anything about what was going on in her mind,
But the days hung heavy on her like so many Yugas or ages,
May Lord Bless all,
Thanks, please
Jai Sri Ram,

Sri Ekadasi today is a defined day for Sri Vishnu Pad Puja, but the truth of the day relates much more even beyond the perceptive skill of Man,
Man can be an aspirant or a devotee or the worldly man on the ride of ego in truth with the falsehood of Maya,
One aspect of man sees through the fleeting transitoriness of all manifestations and other in truth with devotion pitch self on faith, simple faith in power behind all manifestations, and destination for the both is same with a common goal but the path,
Sri Ekadasi is a simple shortcut to reach by bypassing all infringement of self in truth with Maya which dilutes the truth of pilgrimage,
May Lord Bless all,
Thanks, please
Jai Sri Ram,
Sati felt perturbed in her heart at the thought of what she had done, and the extent of her anxiety could neither be gauged nor described, she realized that lord Shiva is a supreme unfathomable ocean of mercy, hence and he did not openly declare her fault,
From the attitude of Sankara, however, she judged that Lord had abandoned her, and felt disturbed at her heart, conscious of her guilt she could not utter a word of protest, but all the while her heart smoldered like a furnace,
Perceiving the sad look of Sati, Shiva narrated beautiful stories in order to divert her mind, relating various legends while on his way, the lord of the universe, Shiva, reached Kailash,
Then, recalling his Vow, Sambhu sat down there under the banyan tree in the Yogic pose as Padamasana, Sankara communed with his own self and passed into unbroken and indefinitely long Samadhi that trance,
May Lord Bless all,
Thanks, please
Jai Sri Ram,
Sati concluded that the omniscient Lord had come to know everything,
And felt sorry that she had tried to deceive Sambhu,
The woman is silly and stupid by nature, she realized,
Even water when mixed with milk sells as milk, look at the unifying process of love, the water, however, is separated from the milk and the taste also disappears the moment a drop of acid is introduced into it in the form of falsehood,
May Lord Bless all,
Thanks, please
Jai Sri Ram,
Then Shankara bowed His head at the feet of the lord, and as soon as He invoked Sri Rama the idea come to his mind that He should have no connection with Sati so long as she continued to remain in that Body,
Shiva resolved accordingly and having so resolved the stable minded Lord Sankara proceeded towards His Home Kailasha with his mind fixed on the Hero of Raghus race Rama, even as he stepped forward a charming voice from heaven thundered forth, Glory to Lord Shiva, who has so staunchly upheld the cause of devotion,
Who else than you can take such a vow, you are a devotee of Sri Rama the heavenly voice, she addressed Shiva in a filtering voice, tell me of merciful Lord, what vow you have taken,
You are an embodiment of truth and compassionate to poor, even though Sati Inquired in many ways, the slayer of the demon Tripura, Sankara spoke not a word,
May Lord Bless all,
Thanks, please
Jai Sri Ram,

Sati is too chaste to be abandoned,
And it is a great sin to love her anymore as a wife,
The great Lord uttered not a word aloud,
Although there was great agony in his heart,
May Lord Bless all,
Thanks, please
Jai Sri Ram,
Having realized the greatness of the hero of Raghu's race, Sati in her awe concealed the truth from Shiva, I made no test my lord, I made obeisance just like you,
What you said cannot be untrue, I am fully convinced in my heart, Lord Shankara then looked within be contemplation and come to know all that Sati has done,
Again, he bowed his head to the delusive power of Sri Rama, that had prompted Sati to tell lie, what has been pre-coordinated by the will of Sri Hari must have its way, all wise Shambhu thought within himself,
Sati had assumed the disguise of Sita, and this made Shiva much inconsolable at heart, if I continue to love Sati hereafter, the cult of devotion will disappear and it will be indecorous on my part to do so,
May Lord Bless all,
Thanks, please
Jai Sri Ram,
When she came near, Lord Shiva,
Smilingly inquired,
If all was well with her and then Said,
Tell me now the whole truth, how did you test Sri Rama,
May Lord Bless all,
Thanks, please
Jai Sri Ram,
But while the gods who adored the Lord appeared in diverse garbs, the appearance of Sri Rama was the same in every case,
Although She saw many Ramas with many Sitas, their garb did not vary,
Seeing the same Rama, the same Laxmana, and the same Sita, Sati was struck with great awe,
Her heart quivered and lost all consciousness of her body, closing eyes she sat down on the wayside, when she opened her eyes and gazed once more, the daughter of Daksha saw nothing there, repeatedly bowing Her head at the feet of Sri Rama, she proceeded to the spot where the lord of Kailash was,
May Lord Bless all,
Thanks, please
Jai Sri Ram,
She further perceived innumerable satis, that consort of Shiva,
Consort of Brahma and Consort of Vishnu, all peerless in beauty,
They confirmed in their appearance to the garb in which Brahma and other gods appeared,
Each Separate vision of Rama was attended by a whole host of gods with their feminine counterparts, as well as by the whole animate and inanimate creation with its multitudinous species,
May Lord Bless all,
Thanks, please
Jai Sri Ram,
She looked back and there too she saw the lord with his brother and Sita in attractive garb,
Whichever ways he turned her eyes, there was the lord enthroned with Siddhas that adepts,
And illumined sages ministering to him, Sati Saw more than one sets of Shiva, Brahma and Vishnu, each set possessing a glory infinitely greater than that of the other,
She also beheld a whole host of gods bowing of the Lord's feet and waiting upon him in their different garbs,
May Lord Bless all,
Thanks, please
Jai Sri Ram,

Sri Rama perceived that Sati had gotten vexed,
He, therefore, revealed to hear a part of his glory,
As she went on her way Sati beheld a strange phenomenon,
Rama was going ahead of her along with his consort, sita, and his younger brother, Laxmana,
May Lord Bless all,
Thanks, please
Jai Sri Ram,
Sati felt very uncomfortable when she heard these soft words of Rama,
She turned towards the great Lord Shiva with a feeling of awe and much dejected at heart,
I heeded not the word of Sankara and imposed my own ignorance on Rama,
What reply I give to my Lord Now, the agony of her heart was most terrible,
May Lord Bless all,
Thanks, please
Jai Sri Ram,
Sri Ekadasi today, is not just a day of the fortnight but an opportunity for atman to regain self,
Holy saints while preaching their gospel from the garb of the time declare Sri Ekadasi to be the day that may help the spirit to reconcile self in truth with self,
Sri Vishnu Pad Puja is a defined chapter of the day with infinite opportunities for spirit to avail from,
All the four worldly rewards are hidden in the veils of this eternal truth man may make with all ease,
May Lord Bless all,
Thanks, please
Jai Sri Ram,
Sati sought to practice deception even on him,
See how deep-rooted the nature of woman is,
Extolling his heart the potency of Maya that delusive power,
Sri Rama smilingly accused Her in a mild tone, joining his hands, he first made obeisance to her mentioning His Name along with his father's, he then asked her the whereabouts of Lord Shiva and wondered what made her roam about all alone in the forest,
May Lord Bless all,
Thanks, please
Jai Sri Ram
Sri Rama is a fear for fear and death to the demons,
From the fear of him fire burns, from fear of him shines the sun,
Death dares to face Sri Rama, Rama is death to even death,
But He is compassionately personified for saintly souls and earnest devotees,
May Lord Bless all,
Thanks, please
Jai Sri Ram,
All perceiving and inner controller of all,
The Lord of gods, Sri Rama, took no time in detecting the false appearance of Sati,

Jai Sri Ram,
When the Laxmana saw Uma in her disguise,
He was astonished and much puzzled,
He was tongue-tied and looked very grave,
The sagacious brother was acquainted with the Lord's glory,
May Lord Bless all,
Thanks, please
Jai Sri Ram,
After all, whatever Sri Rama has willed must come to pass, why should one add the complication by indulging further speculation,
So saying, lord Shiva began to mutter the name of Sri Hari,
While Sati proceeded to the spot where the all blissful Lord Rama was,
After many an anxious thought, Sati Assumed the form of Sita and moved ahead on the same route along the ruler of men Sri Rama was passing,
May Lord Bless all,
Thanks, please
Jai Sri Ram,
On this side, Shiva came to the conclusion that mischief was in store for Daksha's daughter Sati,
When her doubt did not yield even my assurances,
He said to himself, it seems the stars are unpropitious to her and no goodwill come out of it,
After all, whatever Sri Rama has willed must come to pass, why should one add the complication by indulging further speculation,
May Lord Bless all,
Thanks, please
Jai Sri Ram,
I shall be waiting in the shade of this banyan tree till you come back to me,
Using your critical judgment you should resort to some device whereby the stupendous error born of your ignorance may be rectified,
She racked her brains to find out what step she should take,
In order to test the divinity of Rama,
May Lord Bless all,
Thanks, please
Jai Sri Ram,
Although Lord Shiva repeated this time after time,
His exhortation made no impression on the heart of Sati,
Then Lord Shiva, realizing in his heart the potency of Sri Hari's Maya,
If you have a grave doubt in your mind, why not go and verify the things,
May Lord Bless all,
Thanks, please
Jai Sri Ram,
He who has bodied himself forth as the jewel of Raghu's race for the sake of his devotees is no other than the supreme eternal,
Who is all-pervading and ever free, who is the ruler of the worlds and the Lord of Maya,
Whom illumined sages, Yogis that mystics and adepts constantly meditate upon with their sinless mind,
And whose glory sung by the Vedas as well as the Puranas and other scriptures in negative terms as not that,
May Lord Bless all,
Thanks, please
Jai Sri Ram,

May Lord Bless all,
Thanks, please
Jai Sri Ram,
Even Vishnu who takes a human form for the sake of gods is omnipresent like the slayer of Tripura, Shiva,

The words of Shambhu cannot be false,
May Lord Bless all,
Thanks, please
Jai Sri Ram,
He was enraptured to behold his beauty,
And felt an upsurge of emotion in his heart,

May Lord Bless all,
Thanks, please
Jai Sri Ram,
When Sati beheld Sambhu in this state,
A grave doubt arose in her mind,
Sankara is a lord of all the universe himself,
And deserves universal adoration, gods, men, and sages all bow their heads to him, yet he made obeisance to this prince, referring to him as the supreme being is all truth, conscious and bliss,
May Lord Bless all,
Thanks, please
Jai Sri Ram,
Sri Ekadasi today, a day for Sri Vishnu Pad Puja, Lord Vishnu-a Savior,

May Lord Bless all,
Thanks, please

Thanks, please
Jai Sri Ram,
And the two brothers roamed about in the woods in search of her,
He who knows neither union nor separation showed unmistakable signs of grief born of separation,
Exceedingly mysteriously are the ways of the Lord of Raghus,
The supremely wise alone can comprehend them, the dull-witted in their height of folly imagine something entirely different,
May Lord Bless all,
Thanks, please
Jai Sri Ram,
Having killed the antelope, Sri Hari returned with his brother,

The lord was thus lost in a reverie,
Meanwhile, the vile Ravana who had no less than ten heads, took with him the demon Marica,
Who forthwith assumed the illusory form of a deer,
The Fool Ravana carried off king Vedeha's daughter Sita by fraud, the lord's real might was not known to him,

May Lord Bless all,
Thanks, please
Jai Sri Ram,
The Lord Has embodied himself forth secretly,
And if I Visit Him, everyone will know who he is,
In Sankara's heart there was a great tumult, Sato however, had no linking of this secret,
His mind says Tulsidasa, apprehended lest the secret might be disclosed while the temptation of obtaining a sight of Lord made his eyes wistful,
May Lord Bless all,
Thanks, please
Jai Sri Ram,
Renouncing His right to the throne at the word of his father Dasaratha,
