Upamanyu story
Upamanyu
was a brilliant
child, he was drinking milk, he cousin
snathched milk from him. He started crying, he went to his mother and
narrated the
whole incident and she gave him a solution of
powdered grains, but Upamanyu don’t want any thing other than milk. His
mother said to him that – you should get
satisfied with what ever you get. She also said that perhaps may in the
our
previous life we might not have prayed lord
Shiva that is the reason for our difficulties. Hearing this Upamanyu
went to Himalayas
to perform tapas. He continued his tapas as a
result of that there araised a unbearable heat, the deities approached
Lord
Vishnu for help. Lord Vishnu understood the
reason of such unbearable heat asked Lord Shiva for the help. Lord shiva
wanted
to test the Devotion of Upamanyu, he
disguised himself in the form of Indra and went to Upamanyu.
He
started abusing Shiva
which made Upamanyu very angry, he tried to
kill him and failed. Then he tried to himself. Which made Shiva pleased
and then
Reaveled his identity, he granted the
designation of ganapatya and also a ocean of milk and curd.
Shiva has five faces
one of them is sathyoojaatham . Vedas define lord Shiva as Sathyoojatham
which means appearing immediately as soon as his devotees call him.
