Is it ok to test Godess Parvati again and again?

Since last 2 weeks,we have been seeing Shiv testing Parvati in some way or the other.Now he has assigned this job to the saptarishis to test her.The explanation which Shiv gave is Parvati has still a few impurities as she is born a human.

first of all/ how can you even compare sati/parvati with ram or krishna? krishna avatar was a complete avatar of lord vishnu. he was aware of who he is unlike parvati or sati. ram on the other hand also knew who he is. just to set a benchmark of a perfect son, husband and brother he did not use his powers unlike krishna. there is no comparison here between ram or krishna and sati or parvati. sati/parvati, both were/are unaware of their powers or who they really are. well if you have watched this show from beginning you would know that sati was impulsive and impatient which was one of the reasons for her tragic end. she had little patience for what mahadev is doing and why he is doing. she had a certain arrogance and ego which led to her making so many rash and bad decisions. mahadev was trying his best even after their marriage to train her to recognize her trueself but she was too human to understand the importance of that. parvati is actually better coz she has patience and she does not quit easily like sati did. u remember that dialogue when shiv opened his eyes and he said to parvati that she is exactly like sati.

John909 gives really very great answer - I really agree to what he/she says.

Shiva sending Saptarshis to test Parvathi is the way it is narrated in Shiv Purana

You need to understand that all these Puranas were written when the patriarchal society was at its peak..and women and their contribution has mostly always been controlled in most of our scriptures.

I saw impurities in Ram's way of behaving. Not trusting his wife just to set an example of being maryada purushottam. If he had trusted Sita ji after that whole episode and not asked for agnipariksha, things might have been very different for women in this country. Also who listens to a commoner and leaves his wife? If you as a King, you cannot trust your own queen so whats the use of being a King?

@ritika Also I guess Rishi Dadhichi and others may have a right to put a test before Ma Parvati since he was her first Guru. Just like Lord Ram had his own gurus who had trained him in his youth and could test him too.

Saptarishis testing paravti is part of the Shiv Puran.

Krishna was the whole purna avatar with no loopholes in his character. Well, he did elope with Rukhmini but then it was consensual so...LOL

As far as Sati/Parvathi is concerned, I agree with most that have been proposed her by the others.

3) considering parvati is still human, there is nothing wrong in rishis taking her test. so many times rishis have given shraps to even Gods, so why is this shocking? considering shiv himself has given them this task, it is shiv who is testing parvati and not the rishis. they are only a medium. testing parvati is very necessary so that history does not repeat itself. if there is an ounce of human behavior left in parvati, she would not be able to fulfill her duties as a Goddess after marriage leading a lot of problems between shiv and her. understanding shiv is not easy and by staying human, parvati can never truly understand him. sorry for the long post.😊

There are fundamental wrong assumptions in the post,

1) Rama and Krishna are avatars of Lord Vishnu, while parvati is Goddess Adishakti herself, you should not apply vaishnavaite notion of avatars for mata parvati, this is the reason i said shaivism and vaishnavism are incompatible with each other.

2) As Far as testing is considered it is only to enlighten the world regarding the many things, things shown in the tests may seem trivial in this age of information but these tests formed the basis for moral deductions in ancient times.

3) Sati and Parvati are adishakti herself and not some avatar as shown in DKDM, also sati was born to bind shiva to this world which she successfully accomplished by creating shaktipeethas
where shiva resides with her. Parvati was born to marry mahadev and to permanently initiate
him into worldly affairs which she did.

DKDM can write umpteen number of fantasies regarding testing of parvati, but viewers are advised not take what is ahown to be literally true. they have long deviated from scriptures so lets not make assumptions based what is being shown.

Finally it is ridiculous to compare Rama and Krishna with Mata Parvati, who are distinctly from different traditions and philosophical background. people should either do the study in this regard or refrain from such posts which could be highly misleading.

Yes it is insulting for goddess to be shown in that manner, shiva is nothing with out shakti and vice versa, in this serial particularly it is shown that shiva is consistently on moral high ground while sati/parvati are shown ayogya manushya etc which is blatantly biased depiction and factually incorrect

regards
Krishna
