The Shiva Avatars ========================================== Shiva Is Present Everywhere, You Cannot Found A Single Place Where Shiva Is Not Present. As Adi Shankaracharya Said: Forgive Me Oh, Shiva My Three Great Sins! I Came On A Pilgrimage To Kashi Forgetting That, You Are Omnipresent. In Thinking About You I Forgot That, You Are Beyond Thought. In Praying To You I Forgot That, You Are Beyond Words. Perhaps, Shiva For His Devotees And To Sustain Law And Balance Of Nature Shiva Took Avatars Time To Time, I Am Giving A Brief Of Them, According To Shiva Purana, Sages Requested Sutji To Describe About The Different Avatars Of Shiva. Sutji Told Them That, Although Lord Shiva Took Many Incarnations (Avatar) But Five Of His Incarnations (Avatar) Were Very Important- Sadhojat, Namadeva, Tatpurush, Aghoresh And Ishan. SADHOJAT: Lord Shiva Took His First Incarnation (Avatar) From The Physique Of Lord Brahma, Who Was Engrossed In His Deep State Of Meditation, During The Nineteenth Kalpa Named Shweta Lohit. Lord Brahma Gave Him The Name SADHOJAT And Eulogized Him. Later On, From The Physique Of Sadhojat Four Of His Disciple Manifested, Whose Names Were Sunand, Nandan, Vishwanandan And Upanandan. All The Four Disciples Were Of Fair Complexion. Lord Shiva Blessed Brahma And Empowered Him To Do Creation. NAAMDEVA: During The Twentieth Kalpa Named Rakta The Complexion Of Lord Brahma Turned Red, While He Was Engrossed In His Meditative State. From His Body Manifested An Entity Who Also Was Of Red Complexion. Lord Brahma Named Him Namadeva Considering Him To Be The Incarnation (Avatar) Of Lord Shiva And Eulogized Him. Later On Four Sons Were Born To Namadeva, Whose Names Were Viraj, Viwah, Vishok And Vishwabhawan. All Of Them Were Of Red Complexion Just Like Their Father Namadeva. Naamdeva Shiva Along With His Virtuous Progenies Blessed Lord Brahma With The Power Of Creation. TATPURUSH: The Twenty-First Kalpa On The Earth Was Known As Peetavasa. It Was Named So Because Of The Apparel Of Lord Brahma Which Were Of Yellow Colors. Lord Brahmas Prayer Resulted Into The Manifestation Of An Effulgent Entity. Considering This Entity As Lord Shiva, Lord Brahma Started Chanting The Mantras Of Shiva Gayatri. After The Chantings Of The Mantras, Numerous Entities Manifested Who Had Put On Apparels Of Yellow Color On Their Body. This Way The Third Incarnation (Avatar) Of Shiva Popularly Known As Tatpurush Manifested. AGHORESH: After The Peetavasa Kalp Came The Shiva Kalpa. A Black Complexioned Manifested While Lord Brahma Was Engrossed In His Deep Meditative State. Lord Brahma Considering This Entity As Aghor Shiva Started Eulogizing Him. Lord Brahmas Eulogization Resulted Into The Manifestation Of Four More Entities Who Had The Same Black Complexion As That Of Aghor Shiva. Their Names Were Krishna, Krishnashikha, Krishnamukha And Krishnakanthdhari. Aghor Shiva Along With Those Four Entities Blessed Lord Brahma With The Power Of Creation. ISHAN: During The Kalpa Named Vishwaroop, Manifestations Of Saraswati And Ishan Shiva Took Place. Lord Brahma Eulogized Ishan Shiva After Which Four Divine Entities Named Jati, Mundi, Shikhandi And Ardhamundi Manifested From Ishan Shiva. All Of Them Blessed Lord Brahma With The Power Of Creation.
