Lord Shiva fell in love twice?

Hi all,  Edited by Lifebeautifulso - 8 years ago

Well my knowledge about Lord Shiva tells me that after Sati's death, Lord Shiva was heartbroken and he went into a state of deep meditation. He then got married to Parvati with the knowledge that it's Sati who is reborn as Mata Parvati.

Seems like you are an ardent devotee of Lord Shiva or may be it's only the beginning and you are intrigued. Well whatever be the case, I would love to talk about lord Shiva. So bring it on. I will share what I have read or heard about Shiv ji from elders.

what I heard from someone was that Brahma ji wanted to create the this world but to continue the cycle of birth and death he needed one male and one female. Shivji being ardhanareshwar, was half men and half women. So Brahmaji requested Shivji to separate that naari portion from himself in order to continue the cycle of life, birth and death. Shivji did what was requested and it is said that after the separation Lord Shiva grew restless. So Brahma ji ordered his son Daksha to impress the Maata by tap and ask her to be born as his daughter and that is how Sati was born to Daksha.
well whatever I mentioned above ^^ is based on some narration by an elder and what was shown in Devon ke Dev Mahadev. I have read Mahashivpuran but I don't remember reading exactly what I wrote above. 😕

Besides, Lord Shiva already knew about Sati's fate that is why he didn't want her to go into that yagya organised by his father. And to answer your question if Lord Shiva fell in love twice, I would say yes, but with the same women.

do you have any more doubts in your mind?? Bring it on girl.Edited by DelusionalMe - 8 years ago

Thanks Delusional.😊 I came across Lord Shiva's story and just wonder if love's God is ideal. In my religion Gods don't marry and there is no husband and wife relationship when it comes to God or Godness.

 Well tbh I followed Mahadev and after that I felt close to Lord Shiva spiritually and was intrigued to learn more about him. I scoured the net, checked various sites to learn about him. So was asking you about the doubts you had, thought I could help with the little knowledge I have. 😊

 In my religion Gods don't marry and there is no husband and wife relationship when it comes to God or Godness.

So what religion you belong to, just curious to know. 

If a normal person loves somone when their spouse dies, I wouldn't fee strange. Even sometimes they just move on and leave the past, somehow whether they still love their ex spouse or not it just doesn't matter. 

^^Well whatever you mentioned above, I agree to it. Though it takes time to get over your ex, I would avoid using "forgetting your ex" because that's something I don't approve of, but it's life and you need to move on.

if I talk purely about love then I think God wouldn't feel weak for beauty or has to move on like human. just one thing makes it hard to think is God could love and be loyal to one lover but all Lords' mission is protecting and making your devotees happy, so God could evenmove on like that 😕

I don't know about other religions, but if we talk about Hinduism, I have read about several Gods or devtas who had married more than one women so and some loved each of their wives equally while other didn't. About Lord Shiva, he married twice but I like to believe and say that he married the same woman twice and fell in love with her again only. Sati was reborn as Parvati so he actually married the same woman imo.

I read some online sources, it's not reliable much. I know DKDM show but I couldn't watch the whole story. It requires a lot of effort...  a little lazy 😃.  I saw some title and it looks like they didn't mention about if Sati is Parvati or not. And Parvati reborn again and she marred Lord again. She still looked the same in her next birth while Sati's appearance and Parvati are different.

I watched DKMD till the end but I missed a lot of it when they changed the girl who played Parvati. I felt disconnected after it. But as far as I remember, they did mention the fact that Sati was reborn as Parvati and it was destined to happen. Besides, I agree that Parvati didn't look like Sati because they opted for a different girl to play the role which is fine with me.

I read that Lord Shiva knew that Sati would be hurt when she came home but he couldn't do anything. I wonder if he knew Sati is his Shakti? did he know Sati will be back again? 

As I mentioned before, Sati getting burned in that yagya was destined to happen and yes, Lord Shiva already knew it that's why he tried to stop her but she didn't listen.

Could Lord make Sati alive again? he has power?

Well to the longest time, I used to wonder why Lord Shiva didn't bring Sati to life again. He must have the powers. They questioned haunted me in my childhood when mom used to narrate me the stories. But now, I understand why he didn't do that. This is the chakra  of life, birth and death and God wouldn't bend the rules for himself. What example he would set? Right?

 Did you watch the show? Did Lord know Sati is Parvati? if parvati is not Sati, did Lord sometimes miss Sati or had some memory about her? After all based on what I read, Sati, the first girl who is a princess loved Lord in spite of many difference. I remember I read somewhere" Lord Shiva told to Sati in their Wedding day that he loves her so much as she loves him. you know, Lord may not pay attention to marriage or relationship but just like human it is beautiful when you knows someone love you dearly. If we think Lord married Sati because he returned her dedication,  It not wrong but I can't believe Lord lost his sense and went carzy after Sati's dearth. Well, Sati won his heart and he loved her so much. 

I watched the show and they did point that it's Sati who is reborn as Parvati. They never showed that Lord missed sati, though at times they showed Mahadev having flashbacks of Sati and I don't understand why would he miss her when she was with him as parvati. Lord Shiva didn't want to marry Sati initially even though he loved her because he knew that Sati won't live a life like Mahadev does being a princess but Sati convinced him to marry her.

That's why it's hard to believe he could love another girl again. Even Lord shiva said that he wouldn't marry again.

I don't know much though but for me, Lord Shiva is an ideal husband for me. I believe he married the only woman he loved, though twice. I don't know what others think or believe but that is what I believe and I would stick with it.

Anyway, Thanks you so much. I couldn't reply soon as Im confused very much.
