(Day – 5)
Lord Vishnu told them that it was their mistake. Had they not gone
to Daksha Prajapati's Yagna without Shiva and Sati being a part of it,
this would have never happened. Sati would have never immolated
herself and Shiva would have never been disconnected from
everybody. So Vishnu had no solution.
Parvati, who had taken birth again, was another incarnation of Sati,
and this time she was born to the god of the mountains. Narad Muni
visited Parvati and told her that in this life, she could get married to
the love of her life, which is Shiva, however that would require
severe penance, severe Tapasya.
However, Agni could not bear the radiance of the seed and he took
help from Ganga (India Holy River). Ganga looked after the seed and
then Parvati herself took the form of water because she knew that
only she could carry the seed that was born of her union with Shiva.
And then Kartikeya was born. He had six faces and he was looked
after by six mothers also called 'Krittikas' which is how he got the
name of Kartikeya.
In south India, Kartikeya is also known as Lord Murugan. He's the
commander-in-chief of the Army of Gods. He is ever so powerful and
he was blessed by all gods and goddesses not just with powerful
weapons but also immense knowledge.
