HOW LORD SHIVA BECAME NILAKANTA
Time was when the Gods
themselves teamed up with their foes, the demons
In order to get the
nectar of Immortality by churning the cosmic oceans.
But alas! Before they
could get the much desired nectar Amrita,
The ocean churned out
the deadly poison called halahalakalakuta.
Seeing the danger to His Creation in the whole Universe,
Lord Brahma the Creator requested
help from Lord Shiva- all in tears.
Then it was that the
Almighty Shiva swallowed the deadly kalakuta,
And retaining the
poison in his throat became Blue- Throated Nilakanta.
Irrespective of whether
this is legend or fable,
One thing is for sure; It is a great parable.
That God himself aids
the faithful in the Spiritual path to arise
By helping them to
clean up their every material vice.
