Vow shreya

I heard the Betal story but i don't know ,Vikramaditya is the representation of Nandhi (U mean our Nandhi vehicle of Shiv nah?😲how its happened to our nandhi? ).

Vikramaditya is one of my favourite Kings .i always admire him a lot . I often wonder how it is possible for such soul to took birth in this world , Only these kind of wise people born in very few numbers when compared to Lot of dumb souls ,coming and going with out motive .

Thanks for sharing 👏

Yes Vikramaditya was actual nandi. Every dev has taken birth in human form.

Hello, friends😊

Today is funday, so enjoy it🤗

Now, comes to the story. Today I have included this story. By reading this story you will came to know that there is no reason for blaming anyone for kaamdev's dead. He was destined.

Sandhya, Kaamdev and Rati Story

A girl by the name of Sandhya manifested from Brahmaji. He was amazed by her heavenly beauty. He was Kamadeva- the god of love."When Brahmaji became infatuated by the divine beauty of Sandhya, his infatuation resulted into the manifestation of my another Manas-putra named Kamadeva. His beauty and qualities were incomparable. His manifestation not only inflicted Brahma with lust, but also Brahma's other Manasputras became filled up with lust. Kamadeva made salutations to Brahma and asked as to what was his name and purpose of being. He gave him the name 'Pushpavan' and instructed him to help in the process of procreation. He also blessed him that nobody would remain unaffected by his influence including myself and Vishnuji.

After being named by lord Brahma as 'Pushpavan', Kamadeva was also given various names as Manmath, Kama, Madan etc by sages like Mareech, etc. They also said to him that he would be married to 'Rati' the daughter of Daksha.
Kamadeva himself was infatuated with the beauty of Sandhya. To test the authenticity of Brahma's boon, Kamadeva took out his five arrows and wanted to examine their power. The names of their arrows were Harshan, Rochan, Mohan, Shoshan and Maran.
These arrows had effect on all the people present there including lord Brahma and Sandhya. Getting affected by those arrows, fourty nine types of thoughts emerged in Brahma's mind. Similarly, flaws were clearly visible in Sandhya's behaviour.
Kamdeva became convinced of his powers and capabilities. But Dharma - the manasputra of Brahma was saddened by this event. He prayed to lord Shiva.

" Kama influenced Brahmaji to such an extent that he forgot that Snadhya was his daughter and got infatuated by her."

BRAHMA CURSES KAMADEVA

"When Rudra came to know about brahma's lust for Sandhya, he admonished him and ridiculed about his character and made fun of him and his Manasputras. Everybody was ashamed.. Brahmaji felt ashamed. Due to his shame, Brahmaji perspired profusely. From his perspiration were created the Pitraganas. Similarly from the perspiration of Daksha Prajapati was created the most beautiful woman-Rati. But Brahma also became jealous of Rudra. He decided to influence him with the power of infatuation, but he was unsuccessful in his attempts.

He remembered lord Vishnu and Vishnuji tried to make Brahmaji understand about the futility of his attempts, as according to him (Vishnu), Rudra was beyond the reach of any human emotions."

Brahmaji was very angry with Kamadeva because of whom he was ridiculed by Shiva. He cursed him and said- "You would be charred to death by the arrow of Shiva."

KAMA MARRIED RATI

Daksha requested Kamadeva to get married with his daughter - Rati. Kamadeva was very pleased at this proposal. Both Kamadeva and Rati got married.

SANDHYA DOES PENANCE

Sandhya was very ashamed of herself. For the atonement of her sin she decided to do penance. She went to Chandrabhaga mountain and commenced her tremendous penance.
Lord Brahma then instructed Vashishtha to go to her in disguise and help in getting her initiated. He went to Chandrabhaga mountain in the guise of a brahmin and gave the mantra - OM NAMAH SHANKARAYA OM to her and also told her the methods of doing worship, then he returned back.

SANDHYA RECEIVES BOON FROM SHIVA

After sage Vashishtha who was disguised as brahmin went away. Sandhayd did penance as per his instructions. After the passing of one Chaturyuga, she had a darshan of lord Shiva.
Shiva being pleased by her devotion asked her to demand anything. Sandhya said-
"Nobody should have lust towards the member of his own clan. There should e no virtuous and chaste woman greater then me in this whole world. Anybody other than my husband who looks at me with evil intentions become an impotent man."
Lord Shiva blessed her by saying-
'Thathastu'!

He than told her that it was written in her destiny to die by burning. He also advised her to go and surrender her body in the sacrificial fire of the yagya, performed by Medhatithi. "Before jumping into the sacrificial fire, just remember anybody, whom you want as your husband, and your wish would be fulfilled in your next birth.

SANDHYA IS BORN AS ARUNDHATI & HER MARRIAGE WITH SAGE VASHISHTH
When lord Shiva went away. Sandhya got up and went to the place where Medhatithi was performing his yagya. She made a mental resolution to have that brahmin as her husband, who in reality was vashishtha and then entered into the sacrificial fire. The fire of the yagya burnt her body and carried it ti the solar-system, where it was divided by the sun-god into three parts and established in his chariot. The names of these three parts were Pratah-Sandhya, Madhyanha-Sandhya and Sayam Sandhya. Sandhya Vital force was absorbed by lord Shiva.
When the yagya ended, the sages were surprised to see the presence of a girl, who was radiating like gold in the sacrificial fire. They took out that girl child from that yagya-kunda. The sages then brought up that girl with love and affection. She was named Arundhati.

Brahma Vishnu and Mahesh arrived and married her with Vashishth. Arundhati enjoyed a happy life and became famous for her chastity.
