The legend has that Dakshaprajapathi conducted a grand Yagna without
welcoming Lord Shiva and daughter Sati. All
the deities and Sages were invited with due honor and respect except Lord
Shiva. Dakshaprajapati approached Lord Vishnu and Goddess Sri Mahalakshmi at
Sri Vaikundham and requested their presence for the Yagna. Lord Vishnu &
Goddess Sri Mahalakshmi describes the significance of Trinities and discourages
Dakshaprajapathi from his very intention to offend Lord Shiva. But, Dakshaprajapathi subtly persuade Lord and
reminded the boon he had obtained from Lord Vishnu, subsequently his promise to
protect the fire sacrifices of Dakshaprajapathi.
Goddess Sati was deeply hurt at the act of her father
Dakshaprajapathi and requested Lord Shiva to accompany her to father’s Yagna.
Lord Shiva reveals his unwillingness to take part in the Yagna with proper
justifications and revealed his intention not to create any intolerable
incidents by paying visit to his father. Lord Shiva narrates to Goddess Sati about the
principal role of worshipper for the performance of Yagna. The performance of fire sacrifice requires
utmost faith, devotion and tranquility of mind to serve its purpose.
Subsequently Goddess Sati had a heated argument with Lord and left Mount
Kailash with Nandikeshwara heavy heartedly. She arrived at the Yagna arena, she
was not received with any honor or respect; instead she was totally ignored and
humiliated by Dakshaprajapathi. Finally,
Goddess Sati in a mounted rage sacrificed her life in the fire of Yagna.
Lord Shiva furiously instigated a vicious form Lord Veerabhadra
after visualizing the disastrous end of Goddess Sri Sati. Lord Veerabhadra arrived on the Yagna arena
with an unruly frenzy and beheaded Dakashaprajapathi. All the deities and sages eulogized the
glories of Lord and brought Lord Veerabhadra in a composed state. Subsequently, Dakshaprajapathi got his life
back and his head was replaced with the head of a goat. Soon, Dakshaprajapathi turned out a
passionate devotee of Lord Shiva and worshipped on many sacred lands on
Earth. This illustrious incident was
taken place on this holy land.
This temple remains open from 6.00 AM to 12.00 PM in the morning
and 4.00 PM to 8.00PM in the evenings.
Jaya Jaya Sankara Hara Hara Sankara !!
