Reincarnation of sati

 

Reincarnation of sati

 

 

The old donkey said to Agudengba:

In the past, there was a very terrible custom in India, that is, if the husband died, he would die. During the cremation, the wife also has to jump in, and whether you jump or not is up to you. You can choose to jump to express your love and loyalty, or you don’t have to jump. Later, India outlawed it through legislation.

Agudumba asked: How did this custom come into being?

Old Donkey said:

The first wife of Shiva, the great god in Indian belief, was named Sati. Sati was the daughter of Taksha, the highest god in Indian mythology. But Tuosha did not like Shiva, and later his daughter threw herself into the fire and committed suicide. Shiva knew that his wife Sati had committed suicide for him, so he burned down the heaven in anger, and then wanted to destroy the world. This incident shocked the three worlds.

In order to prevent Shiva from destroying the world, Vishnu, the god of maintenance and protection of the world, advised Shiva to calm down and promised him to reincarnate his wife Sati. Therefore, during this period, Shiva practiced in the Himalayas.

At that time, Vishnu divided Sati's body into 108 parts and scattered them all over the world. One of them went to the Himalayas.

Ten thousand years after Sati, the daughter of Tuosha, committed suicide in the fire, a baby girl was born in a village in the Himalayas. Her father was Himachal, the mountain god incarnated by the Himalayas. When the daughter of the mountain god came into the world, Himachal named the child Parvati, and her nickname was Uma.

Sati was reincarnated as Parvati, the daughter of Snow Mountain. Parvati was called the goddess of Snow Mountain by the world. Uma is her other name in Buddhism.

Uma was born with gray-black skin, which is said to be related to his last behavior in his previous life. That's because the temperature of the divine fire burns the original skin into charcoal. After reincarnation, the skin color will naturally not be as beautiful as in the previous life.

In the previous life, Sati threw herself into the divine fire and died. She loved her husband deeply, and was also afraid that her husband would forget her appearance after her reincarnation. Her love did not disappear with death. The soul of longing was reincarnated into the current appearance of Uma.

The old man continued:

The little girl Uma, under the guidance of teachers from the gods, studied diligently and gradually grew up. One night, Uma had a dream.

In the dream, He was walking in the forest. As he walked, He heard the sound of gurgling water, so Uma walked towards the source of the sound.

After walking out of the forest, He walked to the river, and there was a Brahmin priest standing by the river. Just when Uma wanted to step forward and ask, the priest spoke: "Daughter of the mountain god, your marriage in the next life has been destined in the previous life, and Your husband is a ruthless and desireless ascetic who stays naked no matter what kind of day he is, living a life of spiritual suffering that ordinary people cannot endure. You are his only antidote."

Just when Uma was still wondering about everything the priest said and wanted to ask, Uma woke up from her dream.

"A heartless ascetic? Antidote?" Like a real dream, the priest's words have been deeply imprinted in Uma's mind.

Early the next morning, Uma told her father Himachal what she had dreamed about last night. After listening to her father, a god appeared in his mind.

"Daughter, the ascetic you described is none other than the Lord Shiva whom we worship." Himachal told Uma.

"God Shiva? Isn't He practicing in our mountains? Dad, can we go see Him?"

After hearing her father's explanation, Uma was extremely happy and surprised for some reason, and she just wanted to see Shiva immediately.

Himachal told Uma that if you want to see Lord Shiva, you must have a pious heart and not disturb Shiva's practice. Otherwise, even meeting him may be a fantasy. Listen to his father's advice. , Uma also understood what she should do.

The old donkey said to Agudengba:

This incident happened 10,000 years later, and Shiva had forgotten this relationship. But the Snow Mountain Goddess still remembered Shiva. In order to be with Shiva, the Snow Mountain Goddess found Kama, the God of Love, and asked for help from Kama, the God of Love, to fulfill her love with Shiva.

After that, the 10,000-year undying love of the Snow Mountain Goddess to Shiva was sung by Indians.

The old donkey sang a popular local snowy folk song "Snow Mountain Goddess" to Agudengba:

    

In the majestic Himalayas,

The great god Shiva practices here.

Lord Shiva’s wife is called Sati.

Sati is the daughter of Lord Takshasa.

But Taksha did not like Shiva;

Sadie committed suicide by throwing herself into the fire.

Shiva burned the heavens in anger,

Then destroy the world.

This incident shocked Lord Vishnu,

He advised Shiva not to be angry.

Let him go to practice in the snowy mountains,

Promise to reincarnate Sati.

 

Ten thousand years after Sati burned himself on fire,

Sati is transformed into the daughter of the mountain god.

She is the snow mountain goddess Uma,

Parvati Himalayas.

The Snow Mountain Goddess still remembers Shiva,

Meditation can gain the love of God.

Uma found Kama, the god of love,

Calling on Cupid can help her.

Kama, the god of love, joins hands with the god of spring,

Finally reunited Shiva Uma.

Ten thousand years of undying love,

It has been sung by Indians for generations.
