AN ETERNAL BELONGING
Every step She took forward, it seemed celestial musicians were playing out their music, on the tinkle of Her anklets. The bated breaths of the entire congregation collected, was like a mass of cosmic prana, waiting to rush out into creation to dance to this music. Shiva’s men bowed at the princess who was coming into their life as queen. Sati’s own kin was startled that their little girl had grown into a young lady who was so obviously a cosmic beauty. Shiva’s heart skipped a beat.
Sati was the most beautiful woman He had ever seen, and He knew in every inch of His body, mind and soul, that She, was His. And He, Hers. Forever.
He stared at her intently even as she took demure steps, coming towards Him. He just couldn’t wait for Her to be right next to Him, and let out a smile at His own eagerness.
Finally, She was right next to Him : His greatest wish had been manifested, the whole purpose of creating the entire world was now standing in front of Him.
Virni handed a jaimala to each of them and prompted Sati with a smile to put this sacred garland over Shiva. Sati did so, with the most gentle and loving action. Shiva too, put a jaimala on Sati, and the whole congregation broke into a loud cheer of felicitation and joy. Shiva then sat down near the Havan and Sati took Her place beside Him.
A place that would eternally belong to Her.
