Hey guys , please help me, Today morning my mom says that After the death of Sati, She has taken the birth of a Koel. And she lived for 18 yrs in that birth and after she has taken parvati avtar. She also says that after18 yrs a month is dedicated to her, some vrath is done on that, after the month completed ,daan daksina is done.

Did anybody knows about it?

Why she has taken birth in Koel form, as she has done suicide which is wrong, so to punish herself? or there any other reason?

Hey I have also gather info about this.

A popular legend of Goddess Sati is also associated with the Cuckoo bird.

There is a legend that Goddess Sati spent 1000 celestial years as a cuckoo before she got back her shape and merged with Shiva. This happened after the incident mentioned in the Puranas in which Sati immolated herself. It is said that she took the cuckoo form as a punishment for not listening to Shiva's warning. Shiva had warned that She will be insulted at the yajna of Daksha Prajapati. She went to the yajna in spite of the warning and had to self immolate Herself after hearing insults hurled on Shiva by Daksha.

There is also a popular vrat known as Kokila Vrat in North India in Ashada month (June – July). It is performed by woman for the welfare of her family.
