do you know ? every human have three friends ? who they are ?

 

Once upon a time there was a man.  He had three friends.  The four of them had a very close friendship.  One day, one of the man fell very ill.  He got his treatment done by many doctors of the village.  But no one could trace his illness.  In the end all the doctors said that we will not be able to save it.  Saying this all the doctors went to their homes. When the man felt that his last time had come, he called his three friends to him and asked his first friend how much you love me.  So he said I love you the most.  So the man said will you support me even after death?  The friend took his step back and said that I can support you only till this birth.  The man asked the same question to his other friend that will you accompany me even after death?  So another friend said that I will do your last rites in a good way when you die.  But I cannot promise you that I will support you even after death.  Then the man asked his third friend whether you would accompany me even after death.  So the third friend said, I have definitely supported you for life and will give it to you even after death.  The man becomes happy.  Friends, this is our life, in our life we also have three friends: money, family and deeds.  Our first friend i.e. money is with us as long as we are in this world.  Money doesn't matter after our death.  Our second friend is the family, who support us throughout our life and after our death, after performing our last rites, liberates us.  But after that they are no important for us.  But our third friend i.e. deeds is the one who always stays with us throughout our life and even after we die.  That is why one should always do good deeds in life because there is only deeda which supports us even after death.

why did lord shiva ask for butcher ? lord shiva

 

Once upon a time there was a butcher whose name was Sadna. He was a very honest man. He used to indulge in kirtan of Lord Shiva. Even while cutting the meat, he kept on humming the name of Lord Shiva. One day he was going somewhere in his tune when suddenly his foot hit a black round stone. He picked up the stone and saw it, then he felt that this stone can be used to weight his flesh, so he kept the stone in his pocket and went back towards the house.

Now he used to use the same stone to weigh meat every day. But he felt something strange in that stone. Because whenever he weighed the meat, the stone would adjust its weigh according to the meat. The amount of weight he had to weigh, the stone would have become the same weight. He felt that this stone is not a common stone, it must have some miraculous power. Slowly it started spreading that Sadna Butcher has such a stone which gives as much weight as the stone wants. Gradually due to this miraculous stone, people started gathering here. Sales had also increased. Then after some time a pure Brahmin reached there, although he did not go to such unclean places where meat is cut or sold, but seeing that miraculous stone, his curiosity increased and he went to the shop of Sadna, then the Sadna butcher standing far away When the Sadana butcher saw the Brahmin, he was shocked. He politely gave the brahmin a place to sit and asked what he could do to serve them. Then the brahmin said, I have come to see this miraculous stone of yours. You can say that it is this stone that has dragged me to your shop, then the butcher told the whole thing to the brahmin, how this stone weighs itself. The Brahmin told him that this is not a common stone but it is the Shaligram of Shiva, which is the form of God and also he told that it is a great sin to keep the Lord in the middle of the flesh in this way. When the brahmin spoke this, Sadna felt that he had committed a great sin knowingly and unknowingly. Then Sadna said with folded hands to the brahmin that oh brahmin, take this Shaligram with you. So the Brahmins brought Shaligram home with them with great respect. After coming home, he bathed Shri Shaligram and anointed him with Panchamrit and started worshiping him.

After some days Lord Shiva came in the Brahmin's dream and said that O Brahmin, I am very happy with your services, but you leave me back to the same butcher. Then the brahmin asked Lord Shiva the reason in his dream and he got the answer that you worship me. I like it but those who keep praising my name, I give myself to them too. Sadna does not worship me like you, yet he keeps on humming my name all the time. Which I like very much. That's why I went to him. The next day the brahmin went to the butcher and bowed down to Sadna with folded hands and told him all about his dream and handed it over to Shaligram. Tears welled up in Sadna's eyes after listening to the Brahmin. In his mind, he thought of giving up the business of selling and buying meat and decided that if my Lord liked my kirtan, then I would chant his name even more.

So from this story we get a lesson that it is not necessary that one who is pure, vegetarian, only he and she can worship God. If a man's mind is sincere and has the passion to worship God, then he can find God, irrespective of caste or religion.

Story of Pashupatinath |what is pashupatinath temple famous for

 

There was a mighty demon named Taraka sur. He had created an outcry all around in the universe. He had a boon from Brahma that he would die by the son of Shiva. After the marriage of Shiva Parvati, when his son Kartik Maharaj was born. Then Kartik Maharaj fought with Taraka sur and killed him. All the gods and goddesses hailed Kartik Maharaj. Taraka sur had three sons. Tarakaksha, Kamalaksha and Vidunmali. The three sons together wanted to avenge the death of their father Tarakasur. The three brothers together did hard penance for Brahmaji. Pleased with his penance, Brahmaji appeared to him. And asked him to ask for a boon. All three of them asked for the boon of being immortal. Brahmaji said that it is impossible, the one who has taken birth in this world is sure to die. That's why I cannot give you this boon. Ask for some more boon. After this, the three brothers asked for a boon that we should die in that situation when all three of us are together. And the three brothers demanded the construction of separate buildings for themselves. Tarakaksha asked for gold, Kamalaksha asked for silver, and Vidunmali asked for an iron building. Brahmaji said good. I hope so. Saying this, Brahma ji became meditative. Now the three brothers thought that from now on all three of them would be separate. Neither the three of us will be together nor will we die. The three brothers started living separately. The fear of death was over from the inside of the three brothers. Therefore all the three brothers used to trouble all the deities. All the Gods were wailing. Unrighteousness was spread all around. All the Gods together went to Shiva. and told his problem. Shiva said that you take the form of all animals and I will be the master of all of you. All the gods did the same. All the Gods and Goddesses took the form of animals and created a stir in the three worlds and took the three brothers out of their buildings and gathered them at one place. Then Shiva took the form of Nandi. Shiva struck Tarakaksha and Vidunmali with his horns. In this, Kamalaksha came from behind and hit the head of Nandi form of Shiva, then he fell in Nepal after cutting his head. Where Shiva is worshiped as Pashupatinath. And that Nandi form of Shiva whose head was cut off is worshiped in Kedarnath. Then Shiva came in anger and made his real form and killed the three brothers with his trident. Being the owner of all the animals, Lord Shiva came to know where Pashupatinath is. After the killing of the three brothers, all the Gods returned in their form. And there was hailing of Shiva all around. The Gods and Goddesses showered flowers. Gandharvas started singing. Apsaras started dancing. All the Gods went to their respective worlds after being pleased.

So devotees, this was the story of Lord Shiva taking the form of Pashupatinath. Whenever there is a crisis on this creation, Lord Shiva takes any form to protect his devotees.
