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


 '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 lustful, that lust is the cause of his destruction. So knowledge control over work is necessary. In reality, the third eye of Mahadev is the symbol of knowledge which is called the 'eye of knowledge'. So the moment the eye of knowledge opens, the cum is burnt.

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

We all have this eye of knowledge like Mahadev, but it is still closed. The moment our eyes of knowledge open, all vices will be destroyed.

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...

Who was the most powerful warrior in the Mahabharata? Arjun, Bhishma, Karna or someone else?

Image
 Undoubtedly 'Lord Krishna'. But He is Paramabrahma, He is omnipotent so it is not reasonable to compare anyone with Him. For this reason, it is better to keep him away from it.            It is very difficult to say who is the strongest, so let's first see who is the strongest by describing their strength. 'Bhishma, Karna, Arjuna or Bhima', or someone else? Karna 1 / Karna was the 'son of the Sun god' , that is why he was a very brave warrior. 2 / He was born with 'Divine armor and earrings'. 3 / He was a disciple of 'Parashuram' and Parashuram gave him many powerful weapons like 'Agneastra, Barunastra, Nagastra, Vargabastra and Ekpurushatini'. 4 / Parasurama taught Karna to run 'Brahmastra' but later he cursed Karna which resulted in Karna forgetting its application when great fear appeared. 5 / By donating armor and ear rings to Devaraja Indra, he got the infallible 'Vaijayanti weapon'. 6 / During the abduction ...

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.   ...
