I am not sure; Sati was told by Jaata that she had to be ready before she could marry him and when she realises her duties she does become ready to marry him; she burns herself because of her love for Shivji and not because of her duty and love for her father- she is angry and the krodhagni of devi maata helps her to burn herself thus freeing her from her father and the clan. according to sources Sati also did tapsya- maybe they will show that Sati after marriage attains the state of being yogya for Shivji. According to surces such as puranas Sati and Shivji were married happily for a long time before the Yagna happened. You are right on one point though- that is was a blessing in disguise as Sati as Parvati could distance herself from Prajapati's arrogance. parvati had to do tapsya for a long time as Shivji after Sati's body was dismemberred by Mahavishnu went into isolation , tapas and controlled all anger and desires. Parvati tried to serve him from a young age, but he ignored her and due to his control of love he she could not reach him and was advised to do long tapas. With Sati it was not that difficult as Shivji acknowledges his love for her.

Jaata episode was not present in scriptures so to draw conclusions from that is not advisable,
However i would like to respond to the point why Sati got burnt in the havan

Generally all the important deities in the world are invited to any yagnya and then are offered havirbhaga or part of the result of the yagnya. We still do it when we conduct any yagnya by doing avahana of all the important deities.

Daksh wanted to reduce the importance of Shiva by starting yagnyas which did not invite lord shiva in a sense he wanted to set a new precedent. this amounts to outright treason or rejection of vedic principles. attending such a yagnya would amount to taking part in a great Sin.

Sati blinded by her attachment to her father wanted to attend the yagnya . Shiv advised her against her against doing that as he wanted her to stop her from committing grave sin of attending such a yagnya. she did not listen and went to attend it.

Moreover once she was there she also heard shiv ninda from her father. hearing shiv ninda is also a great sin. so by that time she was party to two sins and her and realized her mistake but it was too late. even if she returned to kailash lord Shiva would not have accepted her as she lost her eligibility because of the two grave sins. she had no option but to earn her eligibility again. that as we have seen is impossible by being daksh's daughter as she would be party to sins of her father also. so she immolated herself to get liberated from her attachment to daksh.

Similarly all the other deities who participated in the yagnya were also punished for their sins.


So to say that Sati immolated herself for the love of Shiva would be superficial. the thing happened because of Sati's actions and she alone was responsible for the whole thing and she rightfully emerged from that as more pristine and divine Parvati as we all know she is none other
than Adi Shakti herself.

I know Jaata was a creative venture- I meant it symbolically; anyway unless one has read the puranas in the original we would have to doubt the credibility of any translations that are around. I only claim knowledge of the translations and Ramcharitmanas which has also taken liberty with the story- hence I would advise that before making these statements one should verify it is from the original Sanskrit documents and not a translation of the Sanskrit documents. Apology if I sound unconvinced- as Shivji would not have married Sati if she was like her father-she is shown to be different to her father and that seems to be the point of the depiction of Sati in this serial.

I don't claim to have knowledge of all puranas in their original form. the problem with puranas is they narrate different version of the same story. what i have just posted is amalgamation of my study of different puranas ( some in translation( english), some in translation( telugu my native language) and some original sanskrit versions ( i am no expert but can manage a reasonable sanskrit) .

Shivji did not want to marry Sati for this exact reason as he knew Sati would be bound by her attachment to Daksh. Aadi Shakti herself knew that her incarnation would not be fruitful as she mentioned to daksh in devi puran that she would leave him once he crosses his limits. She had to grant the boon as Daksh had done penance for 1000 years on brahma's command.

on the whole she was not fully eligible hence the separation otherwise there wouldn't have been one. it is as simple as that.

Finally no apologies are required as debate always increases the scholarship.

Best view the serial to enjoy and not debate based on half knowledges we have.

The word eligible used for Sati is wrong. Her actions were restricted due to her promise to Daksh, when he will disrespect her she will leave him & go as per Devi Puran. The person who can judge about eligibality has to be greater then the one in question. I don't think anyone of us is bigger the the Supreme powers Shivji & Sati. Who are we to judge eligibality of Sati?
