Virabhadrasana 1
#WarriorOne
This pose is dedicated to the powerful hero created by Siva from his matted hair. Daksa once celebrated a great sacrifice, but he did not invite his daughter Satī not her husband Siva, the chief of the gods. Satī, however went to the sacrifice, but being greatly humiliated and insulted threw herself into the fire and perished. When Siva heard this he was gravely provoked, tore a hair from his matted locks and threw it into the ground. A powerful hero named Vīrabhadra rose up and awaited his order. He was told to lead Siva’s army against Daska and destroy his sacrifice. Vīrabhadra and his army appeared in the midst of Daksa’s assembly like a hurricane and destroy the sacrifice, routed the other gods and priests and beheaded Daksa. Siva in grief for Satī withdrew to Kailās and plunged into meditation. Satī was born again as Umā in the house of Himālaya. She strove once more for the love of Siva and ultimately won his heart. The story is told by Kālidāsa in his great poem Kumāra sambhava (The Birth of the War-Lord) – #BKSIyengar #LightOnYoga
