Here is a revised version of a poetical narrative from the script, “Shiva and Sati:”
SHIVA AND SATI OPENING NARRATIVE
It was in the Puranic era
Some brahmins began to prepare
A sacrifice with ghee, grains, fire
Seeing to the flames getting higher
Attendees were sages, progenitors, gods from above
And a special bull, Nandi, who gave a lot of love
To Shiva, master of cosmic dissolution
One who dissolves worldly confusion
And a special bull, Nandi, who gave a lot of love
To Shiva, master of cosmic dissolution
One who dissolves worldly confusion
At the ceremony there was music and dance
Those priests uttered many chants
The event was to be a happy one
A mix of universal harmony and fun
All present took their respective seats
In anticipation to hear about peace
However the event ended in bitter conflict
Something no one did actually predict
Someone was agitated by the presence of Shiva
It was not an ordinary jiva
But Daksha, his emotional father-in-law
Who was ironically not free from flaw
The question is, “Who isn’t free from error?”
Most of us have a streak of terror
Here comes Daksha this very way
As guest of honour, let’s hear what he has to say
– By Bhaktiamarga Swami
