A wonderful Glory of Goddess
I have already told you about 51 Sakti pith. It is a wonderful glory of goddess of Ma Kankali. And i have only one wish in this earthly world that all these 51 shakti piths i will must visit even if before my death. One day i went out to take a day off to visit Kankalitala. In fact, i had total of three sati piths to visit that day so it was evening when i reached here. It was a stormy rainy evening. i somehow managed a small car Toto and arrived the temple. Surpringly when I reached the temple the rain had stopped completely. It was no longer to understand that mother was testing me, the test of my devotion.
History of the temple
The temple is considered among the 51 Sati piths, which are spread across the whole Indian Subcontinent. According to myth, King Daksha, father-in-law of Lord Shiva, had organized a yajna. In which, King Daksha did not send invitations to Lord Shiva and Mother Sati who was his daughter because King did not consider Lord Shiva as his equal. When Goddess Sati got to know about it, She felt very bad and decided to reach there in yajna without invitation. Then, King Daksha insulted Lord Shiva at the yajna site, which Mata Sati could not bear, and she jumped into the Havan Kund. Lord Shiva came to know about this, after which he reached there and took out the body of Goddess Sati from Havan Kund and started doing Tandava (the dance of destruction), which caused upheaval in the entire universe. Lord Vishnu divided the corpse of Goddess Sati into 51 parts from his Sudarshan Chakra to save the earth from the anger of Lord Shiva. The places where the parts of Sati’s body fell, became the Shakti Piths.
It is believed that, when Sati’s waist (Kankal in the Bengali language) fell at this place, it caused a depression in the earth, which was later filled with water, and a divine kund was formed.
when i had returned to home it was deep night. At night i dreamed that i was sleeping, i put my head on mother’s lap. Mother also caressing my head with her hands. I have travelled many temples, also went many holy places but to be honest coming here i got kind of peace of mind that i did not get anywhere else.
