She used her allure to trick the Asuras into giving her the Amrita and then distributed it amongst the Devas. In the Vishnu Purana, Mohini defeats Bhasmasura, the “ash demon”. Bhasmasura invokes Lord Shiva by performing severe penances. Lord Shiva, pleased with Bhasmasura, grants him the power to turn anyone into ashes by touching their heads. The demon decides to try the power of Lord Shiva himself. Shiva runs terrified. Lord Vishnu, witnessing the unfortunate turn of events, transforms into Mohini and charms Bhasmasura. Bhasmasura is so taken by Mohini that he asks her to marry him. Mohini agrees, but only on the condition that Bhasmasura follows her move for move in a dance. In the course of the dance, she places her hand on her head. Bhasmasura mimics the action, and in turn, reduces himself to ashes.

Lord Shiva Curse Lord Brahma – Shiva’s forgiveness of Brahma Battle Between Brahma and Vishnu Once, long ago, O foremost among Yogins, Vishnu was having his nap on his serpent-couch. He was surrounded by the goddess of fortune, On hearing these words Vishnu was angry. But assuming a calm exterior he said, O dear, Hail thee. Welcome. Please sit on this couch. How is it that thy face is agitated and thy eyes look curious? Brahma said: Dear Vishnu, know me to have come with the speed of the Time. I am to be honoured greatly. O dear one, I am ,the protector of the world, Grandfather, your protector as well. Vishnu said:O dear one, the whole universe is situated within me but your way of thinking is like that of a thief. You are born of the lotus sprung from my navel-region. You are my son. Your words are futile, therefore. Arguing with each other like this, saying that each is better than the other and claiming to be the lord, they got ready to fight, like two foolish goats, desirous of killing each other. The two heroic deities, seated on their respective vehicles—the Swan and the Garuda, fought together. The attendants of Brahma and Vishnu also came into a clash. In the meantime, the different groups of Devas moving about in flying chariots came there to witness the wonderful fight. Witnessing from heaven they scattered flowers everywhere. Use ofMaheshwara Astra and Pashupata Astra The Garuda-vehicled deity (Vishnu) became infuriated and discharged unbearable arrows and many...

What were the reason(s) behind the fight between Lord Shiva and Lord Vishnu? I think the Harivamsa Parva of the Mahabharata narrates this incident. The Mahadev makes Goddess Lakshmi realise that she has done a mistake by suspecting Lord Vishnu. Goddess Lakshmi pleads with Mahadev to bring Lord Vishnu back. Mahadev goes to the Patal Lok in Vrishabh’s disguise to bring Lord Vishnu back. Mahadev and Lord Vishnu fight with each other. Their fight continues for years. Ganesha promises Parvati to put an end to Mahadev and Lord Vishnu’s fight. Lord Brahma becomes worried as Lord Vishnu attacks Mahadev with Narayana Astra. What is the actual story? There are multiple incidents you could be referring to:. • The story depicted in the TV serial you linked to is (loosely) based on a story told in Most accounts of Churning of the Ocean end with Vishnu tricking the Asuras by turning into Mohini, and then the gods defeating the Asuras (demons) in battle after drinking the Amrita (nectar of immortality). But the Shiva Purana tells a modified version of the story, where a bunch of beautiful Apsaras (nymphs) are born out of stray drops of Amrita, and the Asuras enchanted by their beauty kidnap them and take them to Patalaloka (the underworld). Then the battle between the gods and the Asuras take place, and Vishnu in the course of fighting the Asuras chases them all the way to Patalaloka. But then after he defeats them, he sees the beautiful Apsaras, and struck by the arrow of Kama (the god ...

Shiva and Vishnu – The Legend of Badrinath There is a legend about Badrinath. This is where Shiva and Parvati lived. It is a magnificent place at around 10,000 feet in the Himalayas. One day, Narada went to Vishnu and said, “You are a bad example for humanity. All the time you are just lying around on Adishesha, and your wife, Lakshmi, is constantly serving you and spoiling you silly. You are not a good example for other creatures on the planet. For all the other beings in the creation, you must do something more purposeful.” To escape this criticism and also work for his own upliftment, Vishnu came down to the Himalayas looking for the right kind of place to do his sadhana. He found Badrinath, a nice little home, with everything just the way he thought it should be – an ideal place for his sadhana. He found a house there and went into it. But then he realized this is Shiva’s abode – and that man is dangerous. If he gets angry, he is the kind who can cut off his own throat, not just yours. The man is very dangerous. So, Vishnu transformed himself into a little child and sat in front of the house. Shiva and Parvati, who had gone out for a walk, returned home. When they came back, a little baby was crying at the entrance of their home. Looking at this child crying his heart out, Parvati’s maternal instincts came up and she wanted to go pick up the child. Shiva stopped her and said, “Don’t touch that child.” Parvati replied, “How cruel. How can you say that?” Shiva said, “Thi...
