...invite Shiva & Sati to his yagna?

The discussion in the other thread about Sati & Draupadi brought up an interesting question about Daksha.

Now, I know that nobody likes Daksha, and that his disdain and contempt for Shiva was totally uncalled for. As a result, he is not a sympathetic figure. In this serial, he has been painted as putting obstacles b4 Sati's devotion to Shiva, as a result of which most people have high negatives about him. Honestly, some of the depictions of his obsessiveness w/ Shiva and control of Sati seem exaggerated, but that's another story.

However, unlike the earlier episodes, where Daksha was trying to control Sati and curb her rights, in this case, he was holding an yagna where he simply ignored Shiva & Sati. He was no longer building any barriers b/w Shiva & Sati - he was just holding an yagna - for vain reasons, obviously, but w/o doing anything to upset either Shiva & Sati. Yeah, he was wrong to insult Shiva when Sati confronted him.

However, the question I have is - did Daksha have the right not to invite anyone who he didn't want to invite? I know there is a big difference b/w Satya Yuga and now, but did a host not have the right to issue invitations 'by invite only'?

Or do you think he was obligated to invite Shiva b'cos of who Shiva was?

I think Daksh misused his rights as Prajapati to insult Shivji in various occasions. Infact the main purpose of holding the Mahasabha was to insult him. Even in yagya after Sati's marriage hetryed but failed. In Brhmaji's yagya too he misunderstood. I think the main purpose of holding all his yagyas was to show Shivji, that others are superior to you, I don't need you, am not recognising you, by defying the supremity of Trinity, he wanted to convert it to just Twinity( this word looks wrong but it rhyms with trinity🤣)

the way the storyline is portrayed I would say that Sati has called this upon herself... cause she had to listen to her husband in the first place...when he asked her not to go... her trust on her father was misplaced knowing that he (daksh) had nothing then hatred for Shiv...

Daksh does has the right to invite who ever he wants...it's a different story that without Shiv his Yagna would be incomplete...but that's up to him to understand or not...

you have point that Daksh as a person does have a right to call whoever he wanted..

but however he was performing a ritual to please all the Gods-including most importantly the Trinity of Bramha,Vishnu and Mahesh-but excluding him(shiv) out he himself made sure that his yagya wouldnt be complete,and by not inviting him he committed a mistake of insulting God,had it been a normal person it may not have made a difference here he was dealing with Mahadev...

Shiv didnt bother about these things-it was Sati being the Dakshaini who cared about all that happened maybe beacuse even though she was Adi Shakti-a part of her was still Dakshas daughter who took such things to heart...

i think he was somewhere obligated to invite Shiva-he should have owing to Shivas position among st the devtas!

yup!i agree daksh has full right whom 2 invite and whom not 2 invite.but by not inviting shiv in da biggest mahayagya where even da animals and birds were also invited,he actually insulted shiv.sati was also right in her place dat she doesn't need invitation 2 go 2 her father's house.after she arrived his house,everybody including da TM agrees dat what daksh did was absolutely wrong.

See.if one is not inviting a person 2 insult him is defintiely not ok.daksh's main intention was 2 insult shiv and sati and dat's why he did not invite dem.so even if sati would not hv gone 2 his house but den also i guess da yagya would not hv completed.it would hv been like dat vishnu's statue which remained incomplete widout shivling so dis yagya also would hv bore no fruits widout mahadev.so da blame shd fall on daksh only.

Yes as a prajapathi ,his rights are limited to HUmans not Gods . If he is ignorant about completing a yagna with out SHivji ,thats the peak of his foolness(then what is the use of Learning Vedas and other texts ? ). He had tensed the strings after that famous incident ,where SHivji as a JAmai does not paid respect to him.(ITs not logical here,he cant ASk Narayan in purna form to touch his feet ,then how can Shivji ? who is above all ).God have given freedom to HUmans to Worship or not to Worship . But Insulting is completely banishable and unacceptable .

AS a prajapathi ,if he insist this,then numerous mere souls will follow him without reasons. This may create imbalance.

What i think is that Daksh did'nt deserve to invite Lord Shiva and Goddess Sati bcoz even Asur's are better then Daksh, he is pathetic i am feeling like killing him and curse him... I don't know how could i even able to listen his words for Lost Shiva...
