" Hearing this Sati was sad that she & her husband Shiva the Greatest among YOGIS & an ascetic had been not been invited. The answer shocked her - They told her that her Father DAKSHA Prajapati was holding a YAGNA = a Holy Fire Sacrifice & they all were his " Invited Guests ". Once Devi SATI watched the Devas, flying in their beautiful flying machines, wearing fine silk garments & much puzzled, she inquired where were they all going in such hurry ? this was the Origin of the first " SATI " which till today is meant for a Lady who is CHASTE & is of DEVOUT character for her Chosen man. It is thus a HINDU religious tradition beased on the concept of a soul's taking " Re - Birth " It is a to VOW to B UNITED with this same Man in many next Births not only in this birth but in cosecutive births & be united forever & ever. To become a " Sati = means to IMMOLATE ones' self while being alive " & to be LOYAL to ones husband. Did this custom start and till when did this go on ? ![]()
