LORD SHIVA |
Lord shiva,the god of all gods,one who understands everyone equally and is the one who removes all sorrows. It is considered as that Lord Shiva has taken 19 avatars and in some texts the avatars of Lord shiva are 24. One of the Avatar of Lord Shiva is "Brahmchari Avatar".Lord Shiva has taken brahmchari avatar ( a form of celibate ) to test the devotion and love of Goddess Parvati ( his wife ) towards him.
STORY OF BRAHMACHARI AVATAR:
So the is story of that time when Goddess Sati went for yagna organised by his father Prajapati Daksha. Prajapati Daksha( son of Lord Brahma ) uttered harsh words against Lord Shiva and Goddess Sati could not bear the humiliation of Lord Shiva by her father and she consumed herself with her power ( yogshakti ).Since childhood, Goddess Parvati used to see the image of Lord Shiva.Goddess Parvati was devoted to Lord Shiva. As she grew older,Goddess Parvati blossomed into a stunning woman filled with grace and beauty. While she captured the hearts of many kings and princes, she only had eyes for Lord Shiva.
After that Lord Shiva started condemning himself that ,"The Shiva you are worshiping lives on Kailash and you lives in palaces and what is your equal.What can he give you that you are adorned with ornaments and he wears snakes as ornaments?" Also Lord Shiva called himself crematorium and cemetery.
Seeing the Brahmachari condemning Lord Shiva like this, Goddess Parvati got angry.And she stopped Bharamchari from condemning Lord Shiva and in anger asked him not to condemn Lord Shiva.Seeing the devotion and love of Goddess Parvati,he smiled and appeared to Goddess Parvati in his original form.
In this way,Goddess Parvati pleased Lord Shiva and got the boon of having him as her husband and Lord Shiva completed his test to check the devotion and love of Goddess Parvati.
