Lord Shiva has an enormous appetite to consume anything for the welfare of His children, that is why He is Mahadev.

 

We must understand that Shiva has an enormous appetite to consume anything for the welfare of His children, that is why He is Mahadev.

Our bhakti demands that we don't always serve Him venom after the Samudra manthan. We can all partake a little portion, so that He does not ever have to stand alone.

Har Har Mahadev.
