Why Saraswati Cursed Brahma?

According to the Padma Purana, once a few petals from the lotus of Brahma fell on earth. The places where these petals fell turned in beautiful lakes. When Brahma came down to earth to see the lakes, he named the region Pushkar. This resulted in three lakes being named – Pushkar, Madhya Pushkar and Kanishta Pushkar.

Brahma then decided to perform a sacrificial ceremony also known as yagya to ensure purity and goodness of the region. A yagna is a ritual that a man cannot perform without his wife. So Brahma sent Narada to inform Saraswati to come to the yagya at the earliest.

Saraswati could not reach the venue at the time designated as she was waiting for Lakshmi, Parvati and Indrani to join her. Brahma was becoming impatient and could not wait for his wife much longer. In his haste he married Gayatri and completed the yagya with his new wife besides him. Gayatri with a pot of amrit (elixir of life) in one hand and ahuti for the fire in the other helped Brahma complete his yagya.

When Saraswathi finally arrived, she saw Gayathri sitting next to Brahma which was her rightful place. This made her furious and, in her anger, she cursed Brahma that he would never be worshipped by anyone. But upon the advice of Shiva and Vishnu, she reduced her cursed, allowing Brahma to be worshipped only in Pushkar.

Moral of the story: Don't mess with your wife even if you are the creator of the world.

[Gudo-kvot]

Saraswati cursed Brahma and not his second wife. She is goddess of wisdom.

[sanjeevarohan]

I think that lord shiva cursed Brahma because he cheated shiva in finding a answer to a question.

[aberrantsonik]

Mans didnt have time to delay the puja but had the time to get married.

[startingpoint]

This curse is still true, I know a man in Kanpur, who tried to build a temple of Brahma, that part of temple collapsed where the idol of Brahma was kept and the person who built it was crushed under it.

[SaiAbitathaDUCIC]

But there is another story which states that Shiva cursed Brahma.

[litmystic]

i read in the Shiva Puranas it was bcus of Lord Brahmas lie about finding the ketaki flower that thats why He gets not worshipped

[ritamchatterjee]

We cannot say it wrong as many stories are said different ways in different Purana. The story in this video is what the people native in Pushkar passed down through their generations.

[YogendraSingh-klfz]

There is another temple of lord Brahma located in asotra district badmer rajasthan and it is second largest temple of lord Brahma in the world

[voiceof-bond]

I read most of the vedas and puran but this channel show totally different meaning of god.trust me🙏

[mgth]

Wait wait wait wasn't it lord Shiva's curse of him not being worshipped

[abhijeetpayasi]

It's sad others are not enjoying religion but take it as burden and have a very narrow mindset in all aspect

[annoymous_]

Most of the people would direct their anger to their "replacement", but Saraswati is wise enough to know that the real blame should go to her husband. Even today, people blame the homewrecker rather than their spouses who broke their vows and actually cheated on them. Saraswati shows us wisdom and foresight.

Also, a lot of people are thinking whether the curse was of Shiva's or of Saraswati's. My take is that because both Shiva and Saraswati present the same energies (both have moons on their head; represent white, the colour of purity and knowledge; and even considered siblings in some texts), they both could have cursed Brahma for the same thing - lie and betrayal. But for Lord Shiva, the story was different and so was for Saraswati Maa.

[abinashjoshi]

Ye totally galat h ma Gayatri ma saraswati ke ek roop h dono ek hi hain or bramha ji ko srif mandir pe nehi man me pray kia jata h isiliye bramha ji ki ek hi templ h . Shiv Puran me alag or bisnu Puran me alag alag likha hua h .

[lordtejas]

Devi Gayitri and Devi Saraswati are same. Devi Gayitri is form of Godesses Saraswati. This story is a lie. The reason that Bramha Dev is not Worshiped because he is a Bramha (Creator of Universe) and he is a mortal. He isn't immortal and there are lot of Bramha (Creators of Universes). He isn't the supreme and thus he is not worshiped a lot just like Indra and other gods. Krishna, Ganesha, Shiva, Parvati are all ansha (one form of sumpreme) who represent one of the gunas / swarupa of the sumpreme.

[mineshbhavsar]

Yes its not sacrifice
Its Yagna and ahuti which is mention in below comments

[ranigupta]

As per my knowledge lord shiv has cursed Lord Brahma hence his son Daksh also hated lord shiv for cursing him due to which his was/is not being worshipped. And please if the what is provided by you is the correct story kindly provide exact which chapter which para and which grath or book talks about it, don't divulge people with unclear information. Thanks

[ytchannel]

But I have confusion that lord bhrama is also cursed by lord Shiva or not ? According to shiv puran, lord shiva also cursed him to not be prayed anymore

[narayanverma]

For one, Pushkar is not the only place where Brahma temple exists. It existed in Afghanistan still exist in South (don't recall the exact place) and there is one temple (Preah Khan Temple) in Combodia. Similarly there should be another in Kashmir or so, but it's probably broken and lost.

[bubbly]

Completely wrong, don't do such wrong videos, spreading false things in Hinduism
