The Legend behind Maha Kumbh - Page 5

Hello

@Arschis isn't it Parvati who held Shiva's throat so that the poison does not go beyond it. I have read like that in Amar Chitra Kathas that a worried Parvati holds the poison in Shiva's neck by pressing her hand against his throat.

So I learned now. In the version I knew, Shiva on his own held the poison in his throat and did not allow it to go beyond it. I think like any mythology, there would be multiple versions of any story.

Crescent Moon is on Mahadev's head since the time, Chandra did penanace of Mahamrityunjay mantra at Somnath, the 1st Jyotirling. Daksh had cursed him for his partial behavior towards his wives. He loved Rohini more the his other wives. All were Daksh's daughters. Mahadev saved him from dying & reduced the curse's effect by granting him boon of 15 days waning & 15 days of waxing.

yup u r rite 👏

but u forgot the reason y everyone started searching for amrit


urvasa Muni was passing on the road, he saw Indra on the back of his elephant and was pleased to offer Indra a garland from his own neck. Indra, however, being too puffed up, took the garland, and without respect for Durvasa Muni, he placed it on the trunk of his carrier elephant. The elephant, being an animal, could not understand the value of the garland, and thus the elephant threw the garland between its legs and smashed it


Seeing this insulting behavior, Durvasa Muni immediately cursed Indra to be poverty-stricken, bereft of all material opulence. Thus the demigods, afflicted on one side by the fighting demons and on the other by the curse of Durvasa Muni, lost all the material opulence's in the three worlds.

Lord Indra, Varuna and the other demigods, seeing their lives in such a state, consulted among themselves, but they could not find any solution. Then all the demigods assembled and went together to the peak of Sumeru Mountain. There, in the assembly of Lord Brahma, they fell down to offer Lord Brahma their obeisances, and then they informed him of all the incidents that had taken place.


Upon seeing that the demigods were bereft of all influence and strength and that the three worlds were consequently devoid of auspiciousness, and upon seeing that the demigods were in an awkward position whereas all the demons were flourishing


When offered prayers by Lord Siva and Lord Brahms, the Supreme Personality of Godhead Lord Visu was pleased. Thus He gave appropriate instructions to all the demigods. The Supreme Personality of Godhead, who is known as Ajita, unconquerable, advised the demigods to make a peace proposal to the demons, so that after formulating a truce, the demigods and demons could churn the ocean of milk
