The Greatness of Shivas Grace. Lord Shiva is widely worshipped by people all around the world in the hope of seeking his powerful blessings. There are many interesting legends linked to Lord Shiva which prove he is kindest and the most benevolent of Gods. Lord Shiva is a lot more than the eternal destroyer. He is actually quite kind and benevolent as is evident from scriptures like the Puranas and the Upanishads. He is equally revered by the Gods and Asuras. Anyone who performed strict penance with the goal of pleasing HIM and was successful gained boons from him. It often left the other Gods worried when the demons gained boons from Shiva. The actual vision of Shiva and the magnitude of his greatness is beyond our imagination. Together with Lord Vishnu, he creates illusions to teach important lessons to mankind. The boastful demons who gained boons from Shiva, misused their powers and were ultimately defeated or killed by either Vishnu or Shiva. It is quite easy to please HIM and gain his blessings. A person who prays with a pure heart and a clear conscience can gain Shiva’s special favour in their life. Chanting his mantras offers protection from evils and obstacles. One can even gain Moksha or salvation by praying to Shiva. He is extremely generous and is mindful of the desires of his devotees. His generosity can help people absolve the sins of their past lives and the Maha Mrityunjaya mantra even has the power to bring people back from the verge of death. Even during the incident of Samudra Manthan when the entire universe was in danger of being poisoned by the poison Halahala, Shiva drank it up and saved everyone. His throat turned blue from the poison and he earned the praise of all the other Gods, who were quite grateful!
All Glories to Lord Shiva ~ Har Har Har Har Mahadev!!!!
