“Ya Devi sarvabhutesu buddhi rupena samsthithaa Namastasyai namastasyai namastasyai namo namaha”
To that Goddess who dwells within all beings in the form of intellect, I bow again and again.
Devi Mahatmaya-CH.5 V.20
Daksha one of the four sons of Brahma and Aditi with his wife Prasuti bored 24 Shakti’s and the 24th Shakthi married Rudra.
Soon after they marriage Daksha organised a massive Yagna inviting all his 23 son in laws, the Gods, Rishis and other divine beings everyone got up to greet Daksha but Rudra did not get up , the seeds of conflict was sown.
Soon Brahma declared Daksha as the main Prajapati, inflated Daksha decided to perform the Brihaspati Sava sacrifice the biggest Yagna of all with all pomp and glory.
All the Gods rishis and demigods were invited but Sati and Shiva were uninvited. Against her husbands wishes Sati insisted on going to the Yagna, she reached the ceremony she found out she was deliberately humiliated, feeling sad she ended her life jumping into the sacrificial fire.
Enraged Shiva after killing Daksha and maiming most of the gods took the body of Sati and started to perform the Rudra Tandav the dance of destruction.
Vishnu had to interfere to save the world he with his Sudarshan Chakra cut Sati body into 51 parts (Some say 108 parts). Each body part fell at a place and became consecrated as Shakthi Peetha. Shiva calmed down and returned to mount Kailash.
