LORD BRAHMA FACES THE WRATH OF SHIVA :

Daksha presented invaluable things to his daughter- Sati as dowry. Similarly the brahmins were
presented with large quantities of wealth.
Lord Brahma was enchanted by the divine beauty of Sati. With a desire to see her face, he put
logs of wood which were wet, into the yagni kunda and poured ghee on them. As a result the
atmosphere was filled up with smoke. Now Brahma removed the piece of cloth which covered
her face. He became infatuated by her beauty. When lord Shiva discovered about his evil
intentions he ran towards him menacingly. Lord Shiva wanted to kill him, but the deities prayed
to spare his life. Lord Vishnu eulogised and worshipped him and only then his anger was
subdued. Thus lord Brahma was forgiven by Shiva.
Though lord Shiva had forgiven Brahma, yet he instructed him to apologize by bowing down his
head. Brahma did as he was instructed Lord Shiva then established on his head. Brahma became
ashamed and asked as to how could he atone for his sins. Lord Shiva instructed Brahma that by
worshipping him he could appropriately atone for his sins. He than instructed Brahma to go to
the earth where he would be worshipped as 'Rudra Shir'. Shiv said-
"Your worship would help the brahmin in accomplishing every kinds of work. Taking lessons
from you people would not dare to have extramarital affairs. After reaching Kailash mountain, lord Shiva instructed all his ganas (attendants), not to disturb
them (Shiva and Shakti). When all the ganas went away Shiva and Shakti enjoyed a blissful
union for twenty five Deva-years.
When the rainy season arrived, Shakti requested Shiva to make a residence in such a place to that
they could not be disturbed by rain etc. Lord Shiva smiled and said-
"Dear Sati! The clouds and rain will not dare to disturb if you are present by my side, no matter
whereever we live - even if we live on the peaks of Himalayas.
Sati requested him to make Himalaya as his abode. Lord Shiva agreed and both of them shifted to
their new abode at Himalaya, where they lived for ten thousand 'Deva-years'.

ना करें गणेश-विष्णु के पीठ के दर्शन

ना करें गणेश-विष्णु के पीठ के दर्शन

हमारे धर्म ग्रंथों में कहा गया है कि देवी-देवताओं के दर्शन मात्र से हमारे सभी पाप अक्षय पुण्य में बदल जाते हैं। फिर भी श्री गणेश और विष्णु की पीठ के दर्शन वर्जित किए गए हैं।

गणेशजी और भगवान विष्णु दोनों ही सभी सुखों को देने वाले माने गए हैं। अपने भक्तों के सभी दुखों को दूर करते हैं और उनकी शत्रुओं से रक्षा करते हैं। इनके नित्य दर्शन से हमारा मन शांत रहता है और सभी कार्य सफल होते हैं।
गणेशजी को रिद्धि-सिद्धि का दाता माना गया है। इनकी पीठ के दर्शन करना वर्जित किया गया है। गणेशजी के शरीर पर जीवन और ब्रह्मांड से जुड़े अंग निवास करते हैं। गणेशजी की सूंड पर धर्म विद्यमान है तो कानों पर ऋचाएं, दाएं हाथ में वर, बाएं हाथ में अन्न, पेट में समृद्धि, नाभी में ब्रह्मांड, आंखों में लक्ष्य, पैरों में सातों लोक और मस्तक में ब्रह्मलोक विद्यमान है। गणेशजी के सामने से दर्शन करने पर उपरोक्त सभी सुख-शांति और समृद्धि प्राप्त हो जाती है। ऐसा माना जाता है इनकी पीठ पर दरिद्रता का निवास होता है। गणेशजी की पीठ के दर्शन करने वाला व्यक्ति यदि बहुत धनवान भी हो तो उसके घर पर दरिद्रता का प्रभाव बढ़ जाता है।

इसी वजह से इनकी पीठ नहीं देखना चाहिए। जाने-अनजाने पीठ देख ले तो श्री गणेश से क्षमा याचना कर उनका पूजन करें। तब बुरा प्रभाव नष्ट होगा।
वहीं भगवान विष्णु की पीठ पर अधर्म का वास माना जाता है। शास्त्रों में लिखा है जो व्यक्ति इनकी पीठ के दर्शन करता है उसके पुण्य खत्म होते जाते हैं और धर्म बढ़ता जाता है।
इन्हीं कारणों से श्री गणेश और विष्णु की पीठ के दर्शन नहीं करने चाहिए।

SIVA ENDS BRAHMA – VISHNU DISPUTE AND
SHABDA BRAHMA :

"I asked him as to who he was. Vishnu replied that he was the full
filler of all of his desires. But I
replied to him that I only was the creator, nurturer and the supreme soul of this world. Vishnu
became angry and said that undoubtedly I (Brahma) was the creator of this world, but he
(Vishnu) was the one, who had created me (Brahma) and the whole world. Vishnu also ordered
me to take his refuge and promised to protect me. But being an ignorant I did not believe him. A
fierce battle was fought between both of us. A Shivalinga manifested between us to end the
battle. We requested that Shivalinga to show its real identity. That Shivalinga had destroyed our
pride."
We heard a sound OM. We became curious to know the origin of that sound. Vishnu saw a letter
'A' towards the south of that Shivalinga. He also saw the letters 'U' and 'M' center towards the
north of the Shivalinga and in its center respectively. He also saw the mantra 'OM', which was
dazzling like a Sun. There was no beginning and end to this mantra OM. As we were making
efforts to know about its origin, suddenly Shiva appeared in the form of a sage. He gave us the
knowledge regarding OM. He also revealed to us that I originated from the letter 'A', Vishnu
originated from letter 'U' and Shiva himself originated from letter M. The letter A signifies
creation, U Signifies nurturement and M signifies salvation.
The three letters A, U and M also symbolizes the basic causes of creation. A or brahma also
symbolizes the semen, U or Vishnu symbolizes the Vagina and the sound of OM is Maheshwar the combined sound of A, U and M. All the three united from which manifested a golden egg.
This golden egg remained submerged in the water for one thousand years. The almighty then cut
that egg into two halves, from which appeared heaven and Earth. We also saw the divine beauty
of Maheshwar."
Then we saw all the vowels and consonants emanating from the physique of Mahadeva. Vishnu
saw the forty eight letters within OMKAR, which in fact were the two following mantras- "TAT
PURUSHAY VIDDYAMAHE MAHADEVAY DHIMAHI, TANNO RUDRAH
PRACHODAYAT." And "TAT SAVITUR VARENYAM BHARGO DEVASYA DHIMAHI
DHIYO YONAH PRACHODAYAT."
"After that we also received the Mahamrityunjay mantras like 'OM JOOM SAH", "HRAUM
HRIM JOOM SAH" and "TRAYAMBAKAM YAJAMAHE". After that we received the five
lettered mantra "OM NAMAH SHIVAY", the chintamani mantra 'KSHAMYAUM', the
Dakshainamurti mantra - "OM NAMO BHAGAVATE DAKSHAINAMURTAYE MAHYAM
MEGHAM PRAYACHCHHA SWAHA. At last we received the great mantra TATVAMASI.
Vishnu was so enchanted by this mantra that he started chanting this mantra. We then prayed to
Shiva-the creator, the nurturer and the destroyer. "Shiva became very pleased with both of us. He preached us the contents of Veda. Shiva told
Vishnu about the methods by which his (Shiva's) worship could be done. He revealed to us that
Vishnu actually had manifested from the left portion of his Shiva's body and myself from the
right portion of his body. He also blessed us that he would manifest his incarnation of Rudra
from our body and also that the purpose of this incarnation would be to do annihilation. Lord
Shiva revealed to us that his consort Uma, was in fact mother Nature and her power in the
incarnation of Saraswati would be my consort. Lakshmi, who would also manifest from the
nature would be the consort of Vishnu."
Brahma told Narada:-
"Lord Shiva informed us that my day consists of four thousand eras and similarly my night too
consists of four thousand eras. Since a month consists of thirty days and a year consists of twelve
months. In this way my age was fixed to be of one hundred years. One day of Vishnu is
equivalent to one year of Brahma. Vishnu's age too was fixed to be of one hundred years. The
day of Rudra is equivalent to one year of Vishnu and his age also was fixed to be of one hundred
years
