             Kalbhairav is a fierce form of Shiva. Kalbhairav is portrayed as the 'punisher of sinners' . "He has a Trident in one hand, a rod in one hand, a head in one hand and a blessing in the other." Kalbhairab's vehicle is a 'black dog' . There is a temple of Kalbhairav in 'Tirtharaj Prayag' . Kalbhairav is considered to be the god of the Aghoris.              Now let's come to the story of Kalbhairav's birth, according to 'Shiva Purana and Linga Purana' , when ' Bramha ' created the world's first woman 'Shatarupa',   Bramha  himself became fascinated by her form and moved towards her. Realizing that, Shatarupa fled from Brahmaloka to earth and Shatarupa began to take the form of various creatures to hide from  Bramha , then  Bramha  also followed him in that form. Then Shiva saw  Bramha  in this way and created Kalbhairav ​​from his 'nails' to protect 'Shatarupa' fro...

If Lord Krishna is the only Supreme Lord, then in the Vedas it is a far cry to call Lord Krishna the greatest Lord, why there is no mention of Lord Krishna ?

Image
  Thanks for asking the question             There is no doubt that Lord Krishna is the Supreme Lord. 'Lord Shiva' himself has described his majesty in the  178th chapte r of the 'Dandharma' parva, which is part of the 'Anushasan parva' of the Mahabharata. Shrimad Bhagavad Gita Chapter 4: Jñāna Karm Sanyās Yog श्रीभगवानुवाच | यदा यदा हि धर्मस्य ग्लानिर्भवति भारत | अभ्युत्थानमधर्मस्य तदात्मानं सृजाम्यहम् || 7|| परित्राणाय साधूनां विनाशाय च दुष्कृताम् | धर्मसंस्थापनार्थाय सम्भवामि युगे युगे || 8|| Translation - W henever there is a decline in righteousness and an increase in unrighteousness, O Arjun, at that time I manifest myself on earth.  To protect the righteous, to annihilate the wicked, and to reestablish the principles of dharma I appear on this earth, age after age.                     Sanatan Bhagwan Sri Hari Vishnu 'Matsya, Kurma, Varaha, Narsingha' incarnated in different forms ...

How did religion come to world ?

Image
               When a person does not find any reason or cause for an event, he assumes that there is a miraculous power behind that event. Then people try to please him in various ways in order to save him from that miraculous power. Religion originates from such an idea of ​​man.                Religion originated a few million years ago, about which one can only guess, even if one hundred percent accurate information is not available.                In the Stone Age, when people hunted in groups with weapons made of stone, a group chased a white goat for hunting, but after going some distance for some reason they did not see the goat anymore but instead they found many large prey Gone. From now on their idea is that the white goat is a sacred creature, so it should be worshiped if it wants to get enough food. Since then, a strict ban has been imposed on white goat h...

Who is the king of the Suryavansh and the king of the Chandravansh ?

 Suryavansh                According to 'Brahmapuran' and 'Vishnupuran' , Brahma originated from the navel of Lord Vishnu in ancient times. Brahma commenced creation at the behest of Lord Vishnu and was born "Maharshi Marichi from the mind" (one of the Saptarshis). Marichi married "Kardam Rishi's daughter Kala" and their son became known as 'Maharshi Kashyap' . Maharshi Kashyap was married to Daksharaj's 17 daughters and in the womb of his first wife Aditi was born 'Bivasvan (Sun God)' .                Surya Dev had seven sons and four daughters, of whom 'Vaibaswat Manu' was the eldest. Vaibasvat Manu is the first human being of 'Seventh Manvantar' and after his name this Manvantar is called 'Vaibasvat Manvantar' . We are now living in the "28th Kali Yuga" of this glorious transformation. Vaibaswat Manu's son is 'Ikshvaku' . Iksvaku established his capital in '...

Introduction to Maharshi Kashyap

                Sage Kashyap's identity is found in "Ramayana, Mahabharata, Brahmapurana, Shivapurana and Srimadbhagavata Mahapurana". But the details of him and all other sages are found in 'Vishnu Purana'. Now come to the identity of sage Kashyap.                   At the beginning of creation, Brahma created the "sage Angira from the mouth, the Atri from the eye, the Vashistha from the soul, the Marichi from the mind, the Pulast from the ear, the Pulah from the navel, and the Kratu sage from the arm." In the Puranas, these seven sages are called "Saptarshi" . Brahma then "created Vrigu Rishi from his skin and Daksharaj from his thumb" . Then 'Ardhanarishvara' is manifested from the head of Brahma, when Brahma divides it from the middle, the spontaneous "Manu" (Manu meaning the father of the human race) and the "Shatarupara" originate from the female part . Shatarupa means "hundreds of forms who...

Legend of Jalandhar and Brinda. Origin of Tulsi and Shalgram Shila.

Image
              According to the story narrated in 'Shiva Purana' and 'Devi Bhagavata Purana' , once "Devaraja was coming to Mount Kailash for the purpose of meeting Indra Mahadev" . At this time Mahadev lay down on the way to Kailasa in the form of 'Aghori' to test Indra's patience. Indra did not recognize Shiva as 'Aghori' and ordered him to move away from the path, but Aghori did not move at all. Even after repeatedly saying that Aghori did not move then Indra wanted to remove him by force. But all the weapons of Indra failed in front of him, which made Indra angry and hit Shiva on the head with lightning. When Mahadev became angry and tried to burn him with the third eye, Indra recognized him and turned to Shiva. In this Mahadev forgave Indra and threw his fury 'into the sea' .            When Shiva's fury goes to the sea and meets, a child is born from him. 'Daityaguru Shukracharya' took the responsibility of rais...

Krishna's skin color is blue or black ? Krishna means black, but why is he shown blue in pictures or images ?

Image
  The color of Lord Krishna's skin is blue or black. It is the eternal confusion of human beings.           The Vishnu Stotra says,            शान्ताकारं   भुजगशयनं   पद्मनाभं   सुरेशं           विश्वाधारं   गगनसदृशं   मेघवर्णं   शुभाङ्गम्  ।           Translation - Always calm is his form, who sleeps in the bed of the Sheshnag, from whose navel the lotus originates, who is the lord of all gods, he is the base of the whole world, eternal like the sky and his color equal to the clouds           According to the Puranas, the color of Lord Vishnu's body is "equal to the rain cloud, that is, slightly black, slightly blue".        Lord Vishnu took the incarnation of Krishna with his complete art. So the color of the body of Lord Krishna and the color of the body of Lord Vishnu are the same.   ...

Why is Lord Shiva or mother Durga called Trinayana and Trinayani ?

Image
 'Mahadev and mother Durga' have three eyes hence they are called  'Trinayan and Trinayani'. There are different aspects of this trinayan, on the one hand it means that Mahadev is keeping an eye on the trilok i.e. "heaven, mortal, underworld" by his trinity. On the other hand, by this trinayan he has been referred to as Trikaladharshi , meaning that nothing of the 'past, future, present' is unknown to him. According to a story in Shiva Purana, once Goddess Parvati grabbed Mahadev's eyes from behind with her hand, which caused darkness to descend on the whole earth ( the reason is that according to the Puranas, the moon and sun are in the two eyes of Mahadev ). Mahadev immediately opened his third eye to dispel the darkness, which caused a terrible fire to burn all around ( because fire resides in his third eye ). In Puranam, Mahadev burnt 'Kamadeva' with his third eye. Creation is never possible without lust, but when man becomes lustf...

Exactly how many people did Lord Krishna marry? How many children did he have?

Image
              Details of the wives of Lord Krishna are given in the "Tenth Skanda of Srimadbhagavata Mahapurana". I am trying to give a brief description from there. Lord Krishna had '8' chief wives , who were called 'Ashtavarya'. 1 / Rukmini             Rukmini was the first wife of Lord Krishna and the daughter of 'Vidarbharaj Bhismak'. Rukmini's elder brother Rukmi arranged her marriage with 'Shishupal' , but Rukmini wanted to accept Lord Krishna as her husband. For this reason he secretly sent a letter to Lord Krishna to take him away. Lord Krishna defeated 'Rukmi' and took away Rukmini. 2 / Satyabhama                  Satyabhama's father 'Satrajit' was the richest man in Dwarka. He had the divine 'Samantak Mani' as a gift from the 'Sun God' which produced '20 manas' of gold every day. But Satrajit suspects that Lord Krishna may want to steal the money. On this su...
