Several people, they know only one but it is a firm thing. They do not know anything else. Giving importance to other is also not their habit. Being the deserving devotee to Lord Shiva, the Rishi changed himself as ‘Vandu’ (a insect like Bee) and flew around the head of the Lord shiva and worshipped. Goddess Uma Devi got angry and the entire blood and flesh of the Rishi was taken away as punishment of Uma Devi. The theory is this that in every one’s body Lord Shiva is in the form of bone, and the other like flesh and blood are of Uma Devi.

Knowing the pitiable state of Rishi, Lord Shiva gave him shelter with a stick and the peacock-feather. Being husband and wife Lord shiva and Goddess Parvathi merged in one form sharing right half to be of the Lord and the left half to be of Uma Devi. So, no one could separate them.

"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.

SANKARA NARYANA MOORTHYThere prevailed a doubt among the devotees of Lord Shiva and the devotees of Lord Maha Vishnu, on the universe, the heaven and pathala-loga and everywhere.

The beautiful sayings of Lord Shiva "SHIVASYA HRUDHAYAM VISHNU-VISHNOSCHA HRUDHAYAM SHIVA" this explains well that whom they think as Shiva is Vishnu and whom they believe as VISHNU is SHIVA. Two imperial powers that exist in unity. The Thathva is also same “Hari and Shiva are in one” looking to the affairs of universe and the zodiac, there occur the lot of problems and the remedies in which the two Deities are always involved for the welfare of earth, people, and divines.

LINGOTH BHAVA MOORTHY

LINGOTH BHAVA MOORTHYThe 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.

Lord Shiva, during the time of reformation of world, He co-operated Lord Brahma in the creation of sounds, language, phonetics, music etc. Lord Shiva is a great lover of music. When he happen to Hear the melody, he will dance. Dance is the Art which had its birth from Lord Shiva only.

There lived a King called Mathura who prayed the Lord to give him Dharshan (appearance) engaged in Dances. The King, ministers and all in the court of King had the dharshan. Lord Shiva lifted His left leg and commenced his great methods of dances and He changed the position of legs in several ways.

BRAHMA SIRACHETHA MOORTHY

Supreme God Shiva is seen in this facet with eight hands. The Trinity status of combined unity of Lord Shiva, Lord Vishnu and Lord Brahma are the root cause for the routine happenings of earth and all the worlds.

On one occasion, Lord Brahma asked Lord Vishnu a question referring to the superiority among them. Lord Vishnu ascertained the high rank for Lord Shiva. This incidence turned in to arbitration and Lord Brahma was impressing much to his duty of creation and spoke against Lord Shiva who got angry and as a punishment He picked out one of the heads of Lord Brahma. There were five heads to Lord Brahma. This internal war among two Deities resulted in this way. So the “Siras” i.e. head is removed by Lord Shiva. “Sira Chetha” gives the full picture of head being cut off from Lord Brahma.

The combined unity of Lords and the joint responsibilities could never be judged on ground of competition. It is a Mega Task and a Yuga Task. The routines of earth and all worlds should be to in its order of regularity as per the framed target. This is the responsibility.

In the human life the egoism, selfishness and proud will interfere. Such unwanted habits will be controlled when we give homage to Lord Brahama Sirachetha Moorthy.
