Devi Adishakti is the ultimate life and energy source Brahma and Vishnu were worried about Shiv who was so much engrossed in his taap (penance) and hardly took part in worldly activities. Brahma remembered the words of Adi Shakti that she would take birth as a human and would marry shiv. Brahma immediately went to Daksh. Brahma requested his son and his wife to do penance for Adi Shakti to get her as their daughter. Daksh and his wife Prasuti soon started doing the same.

Adi Shakti atlast got pleased and gave them them thier desired vardan (wish) of having her as thier daughter. She specially mentioned about one fact that they would not remember about she being thier daughter and she would live like a normal girl.Shakti is the believed to be the Primordial Mother of the cosmology who brings forth the material universe and all other beings, including the Gods, demi-Gods, celestials, mortals and demons, out of her creative energy - Maya.
any one can clear the doubt



Thanks for both rishi and shivssudishna for their explanation,well i got this details in devipurana in why Adi shakti Separated from Lord Shiva after Universe creation

As per Devi Puran Adhi Parashakti is considered to be a main source of energy for the creation of the whole universe,For Creation of Male and And Female beings ,Shiva and Adhi shakti were in ardhanarishwar form
Then to help Brahma- Shiva was forced to sacrifise adhi shakti then adhi shakti Granted a boon to Shiva saying - she would be his companion when she take form of human - Sati, Parvathi .Hence Parvathi Devi - considered to be Adhi parashakti.and also said that Shiva needs to do penance for long time to become eligible for the Adhi Parashakti Human form. which makes him Devonka Dev.

Since then Rudhra , Shiva keeps on doing penance and once Parvathi and Shiva are united his ardanarishwar form is also regained and he has equal powers as Adhi parashakti in form of Parvati is his soulmate.

Shakti is the ultimate energy that's said to form the base of the universe.
w/o energy how can the universe even function?
Hence Shiva had to separate Shakti from himself.
Shakti then dispersed in various directions of the Universe and gave rise to galaxies, stars, planets, satellites and life.
All of this needed Shakti i.e. energy in various forms like light, heat, fire etc.
But when Shakti left shiva, Shiva became Shava he was unbalanced and out of equilibrium.
That's when Shakti decides to be reborn as a human and reunite with shiva and make him and herself complete.

Though Sati is an incarnation of Adi Shakti, the reason for her incarnation is not only to meet Lord Shiva, but also to teach True Devotion & Spirituality to the whole world! In the Spiritual sense, she depicts herself as the Soul, since she has taken birth as a human, she behaves like a human.

She portrays the forgetfulness of the soul... how the soul forgets that it is has always been & will always be the part of the Supersoul i.e. God. That's why she is not able to remember who she actually is, Shakti... that we all souls r... we r all part of God, we r Prakriti, His Shakti in essence, but due to the influence of Maya, i.e. Illusion, we get separated from Him, our Real Identity. Although, just like Sati has portrayed, we also do feel a connectivity with the Divine, but that connect is not complete, until & unless we develop the Intensity of Love, Devotion & Surrender that Sati, the Greatest Devotee of Lord Shiva, has for Him! And to develop this degree of Love, Devotion & Surrender, is the responsibility and duty & Sole Purpose of each & every soul in this human birth! That itself is only possible when a human being, thru meditation & devotion, regains the Purity of Soul, that is required to reach Him.

As Swami Vivekanand, the Youth Icon of & one of the Greatest Saints of India, has so clearly stated, the Purpose of Human Life, in just one line: GOD is to be worshipped as the One Beloved, dearer than everything in this and next life.

Lord Shiva, on the other hand, portrays the immense restlessness of God to meet His part, the soul, which has separated from Him, because of the thick veil of Illusion that this materialistic world & sense pleasures have put on all of us humans, since we all r part of Him only, just like every drop of the Ocean is part of the Ocean only! God is always guiding us, showing us the path that takes us towards Him, but we, due to our Ignorance, never pay heed or put an effort to follow that path that takes us to Him!

So, this is the essential massage that has to be delivered to the world, for spiritual upliftment of humanity, because of which God, even though He is One, plays His Divine Play... by separating Himself into two different forms... like Shiv Sati, Shiv Parvati, Radha Krishna...❤️
