When the question was put as to how Muslims were supposed to start and break their fast in Ramadhan in places like the Land(s) of the Midnight Sun, the tongue in cheek answer was that Muslims were not meant to live there.
Similarly, the parts of Sati's body that were cut up by Vishnu are reported as having been scattered over what is predominantly the Indian sub-continent, landing at what are recognised as 51 or 64 Shakti Peeths.
Is that all the strength Vishnu had in his arms that the slingshots of the cut up body pieces landed in such a small area (compared to the total size of the Earth)? Maybe Hindus (or at least devotees of Shakti or at the very very least the devotees of Sati) were not meant to live all over the world.
Just thinking aloud
