Life of
Thiru Adhipatha Nayanar:
The
legend has that
there was a time the Mount Himalaya and its surroundings were under the abstract
control of the demons. They harassed the
life of deities
and sages, they all appealed to Lord Vishnu.
As instructed by Lord Vishnu, all the
spiritual energies of the deities turned into a flame and as desired by the
deities and Sages Goddess Sri Sati was rose from the flame and she was brought
up by Daksha Prajapathi. Later, she
was married to Lord Shiva against the will of her father.
A Grand
Yagna was conducted by Dakshaprajapathi ended in disaster, his own
daughter Goddess
Sri Sati had to sacrifice her life in the sacrificial fire. This catastrophic
incident brought trepidation amongst the deities. Inconsolable Lord Shiva
carried the
lifeless body of Goddess Sri Sati and wandered on the Earth for several years.
The functions of Trinities to protect the Universe were
shattered. All the deities were frightened about the terrible consequences and
appealed to Lord Vishnu. Lord Vishnu’ dice chopped off the lifeless body of
Goddess Sri Sati into several parts to diffuse
the grief of Lord Shiva and each part fell into the different parts
of the Earth. The places where the body parts of Goddess Sri Sati fallen on the
Earth were turned into ‘Shakthi Sthal/Shakthi Peedam’.
