IS A GOD GETTING MARRIED!
The trek through the mountains was as expected: festive, robust, loud and merry. Every now and then a quaint animal would peer outside of his own cave to witness the band as it played along. “What is going on? Is a God getting married?” asked some, to which the prompt answer came, “Absolutely, our Lord is getting married!”
“Shiva is getting married? To whom?” Suddenly the excitement would double.
“To the noble Dakshayani, Sati! Princess of untold beauty, lady of incomparable virtue.”
“Oh! Can we join in?” they would ask.
“Yes, of course! It is an open invite, and Raja Daksha’s abundance has no limits. Come, join the party!” the ganas would say.
And so it swelled; the marching party to Daksha’s palace was reminiscent of the world coming into being, expanding, and moving joyously along a pre-destined path.
