Like a fairy tale starts, we too say-it is Long, long days ago……..
A brilliant idea of performing the ritual of Yagna-the sacrifice once crossed the mind of the creator of the universe, Lord Brahma. These are the matters of gods and goddesses-not like mango man like you and me. The preparation started in full swing!
Lord Vishnu- the god of the existence gladly accepted to be the protector of the sacrifice from evil eyes. After all- sacrifices were considered those days as neighbour’s envy- owner’s pride.
All the gods and goddess were present to witness this Yagna. But the customs prevailed in those days made it customary to make the sacrifices in presence of the wife of the yagnakarta. So Lord Brahma’s wife Savitri was due to attend the ceremony. But just like modern times-women were a little late for presentation ceremonies in those times, too. She has to attend it with her friends too. Well, you can imagine the quantum of lateness.
Hour of the sacrifices drew closer but still no signs of Savitri and his women. Brahma was in a dilemma. Seeing no alternative- he sought the easy way-finding a wife! Indra was bestowed with the job and he immediately found a shepherd lady (Indra was lightning fast when the matter embraces women and slowest when it comes to fighting.) she was made the wife of Brahma observing all rituals.
Meanwhile Savitri reached the spot. She might be a goddess- but after all her heart is not made of iron. Well-when you see all the things have been completed in absence of yours and a brand new life partner besides your near ones-how you are going to react? She did the obvious thing and started to curse everyone- his husband was cursed that his temple will be built on earth only at the place of the sacrifice and that too on a particular day of the year. I will not make my readers impatient by detailing the other curses. But it is enough to mention that the only place of worship of Lord Brahma on earth was at Puskhar-of Rajasthan!
