parvathi performed severe penance to gain siva's grace.siva himself is an eternal yogi.parvati meditated amidst fires in summer.in the icy wilderness of himalayas,in winter.under open skies in heavy downpour;uma continued her severe tapas for many seasons.she fasted.she never slept.just her desire to become sivaa kept her alive.thus she herself is a veera.
in her avatars as mahishasura mardini ,kali,chandi,varaahi she displays unparelled valour.
this nama qualifies her as 'veeraa'.
sadhana/contemplation:The turlmoils,questions on trials and tribulations,seeming unfairness of life,inner restlessness-are all personified as the extremes of the weather ..veera...be one,she herself paves the way.just take her name.
