Story Behind Mata Vindhyavasini Temple
We all must have heard the stories about 51 Shaktipeeths since childhood. Vindhyavasini Temple of Mirzapur is one of those 51 Shaktipeeths.
Mata Sati is the daughter of King Daksha. Although King Daksha had fifteen daughters, he was dissatisfied, because he wanted a daughter who would be the primordial deity of all powers as well as endowed with all virtues, so he did penance to please “Bhagwati Adya Devi”. And a few days later, when the first goddess was pleased, the prudent king asked her for a boon of having another daughter like “Bhagwati Adya Devi”.
After some years Mata Sati grew up and married Lord Shiva. But Mata Sati’s father Daksha was not happy with this marriage with Lord Shiva. Daksha performed a Yagya in which all the Gods were invited except his daughter Sati and Lord Shiva.
Sati went to the Yagya without being called. In the Yagya, King Daksha said derogatory things about Lord Shiva. Sati could not bear it and physically dedicated herself to the altar of the sacrifice. Lord Shiva, immersed in sorrow, raised the burning body of Sati and performed tandav. To stop this, Lord Vishnu used Sudarshan Chakra to cut Sati’s body into pieces.
After that, the places where the body parts of Mata Sati fell are called ShaktiPeeths.
