Lord Shiva in the form of Rudras.
BIKSHADHANA MOORTHY
A Poem in sanskrit defines
\"SWAYAM MAHESHA SWASURO NAGESHA SAKA DHANESAHA SUTHO GANESHA THAVAAPI BIKSHADHANA SEVA SAMBO BAREE YASI KEVALAM EASWARA KHAHA\".
Once, long back, there held a argument between the Rishis and their wives. Rishis were on firm faith on meditation and declared that the meditation was the best one. But the wives of Rishis and Brahmins strongly objected and expressed that it was chastity that alone could prove best among all. The chastity could be maintained with the base of discipline where one could find the neatness and chastity and that place would be full of Godliness. The chastity explained further, one should live with pure love with only one person as a husband or wife till to the end of life.
When the argument was going endless, there a “young beautiful man\" appeared with all the charming. He was having a \"Thiruvodu\" a earthen vessel to collect food. All the wives of Brahmins and Rishis were attracted by his beauty and lost their chastity on the act of admiring a stranger. Purity in heart was spoiled since the thought of love with the stranger considered sinful.
The Brahmins and Rishis by virtue of their rituals, wanted to destroy the young man. They sent a venomous serpent to kill him. But the serpent did not do any harm to the young man who took the snake and garlanded himself on his neck. The young man was Lord Shiva the Almighty who taught the lessons to the Rishis and their wives. All of them fell at the feet of Lord Shiva and got the blessings. The meditation is the best for ever.
This facet is called
\"BIKSHADHANA MOORTHY”.
Lord came as a man for Biksha (food) and gave the blessings to his devotees.
LINGOTH BHAVA MOORTHY
The appearance of Lord Shiva in Lingothbhava Moorthy
is an excellent explanation of many theories of existence of Almighty Shiva. There were difference of opinion between Lord Maha Vishnu and Lord Brhama. The superiority of the task and power was the cause for the dispute. They met Lord Shiva and explained the subject and wanted to render justice. Lord Shiva informed them that the head and feet of Him were the targets fixed for Lord Brahma and Lord Maha Vishnu respectively. They should go and find out. The first comer would be the winner. Head and feet neither had the beginning nor the ending. That is the Sivaism.
He is formless and beyond all the forms. The head was searched by “Lord Brahma” who flew to the sky and space as a bird and searched. Lord Maha Vishnu as a pig digged the earth and searched. For both of them it was of no use.
But Lord Brahma with help of \"Thazhampoo\" a flower told a lie to Lord Shiva as if He found out the head of the Lord. But Lord Maha Vishnu accepted his impossibility.
Lord Shiva is beyond pure and impure. He punished Lord Brahma and cursed there could be no worship in temples for \"Lord Brahma”, Lord Maha Vishnu was honoured. Lingoth Bhava Moorhty is seen in the idol, which is partially with face and up to knee only. Lord Brahma is in the form of bird and Lord Maha Vishnu in the form of pig are seen.
The people in political, judicial and with the jobs of arbitrary grounds, they have to worship the
Lord LINGOTHBHAVA MOORTHY
for their success in life.
BRAHMA KAPALA DARA MOORTHY
The title of the Lord Shiva\'s facet gives some thing extraordinary fear to heart. The word ‘Kapala’ that means “skull”. That too Lord Brahma\'s kapala means, it is unbelievable. Lord Brahma is the creator of all the beings. It was at the early stage, when Lord Brahma was having five faces. His Lordship was attending the creation of all beings such as man, animal, bird, fish etc. Looking to the greatness of the job, he had the self-opinionatedness. He thought for himself as the supreme power than Lord Shiva. Lord Shiva in his turn took this matter seriously and plucked one of the heads of Lord Brahma. After this incidence Lord Brahma had only four heads. So, the skull of Lord Brahma occupied in the left hand of Lord Shiva. In the two right hands of Lord Shiva, were adorned with spear and axe. The other two hands in left were with Trishoolam and the skull. So the name Brahma Kapala Dara Moorthy is given to Lord Shiva.
Seniors in rank, and deserving persons for a right job and the other categorical persons in professions should pray Lord Brahma Kapala Dara Moorthy for the early success in their attempts.
