Hinduism is one of the earliest sects in India and one of the four ancient civilizations. This sect divides the common people of all ethnic groups in India into four classes, the highest of which is Brahman, so it is also called Brahmanism.
There are three gods in this religion, namely Shiva, Brahma and Vishnu.
Shiva is a very interesting person with great personality. He is also irritable and sometimes unreasonable, but this still can't hide his charm.
The most famous story should be the love story between Shiva and his wife Goddess parvati.
It is said that the young Shiva fell in love with parvati and parvati fell in love with Shiva deeply, but his father disapproved of their combination.
Shiva married parvati with her own strength, and they lived a happy life. Her father often fought with Shiva, and in order to end the long war between them, parvati committed suicide. Shiva was furious and killed her father and her people.
Shiva suffered a heavy blow, danced around the earth with his wife's body in her arms for three days and nights, and finally decided to devote herself to the mortal world for asceticism. During this period, he put an end to all desires and shielded all beautiful things.
The reincarnation of the goddess parvati as the snow mountain goddess may be a marriage of fate. The goddess of Snow Mountain was moved by Shiva's persistent love, fell in love with Shiva deeply and followed him unswervingly. Shiva, however, turned a blind eye to her love and insisted on asceticism.
The goddess of snow mountain followed Shiva for asceticism. She soaked herself in the cold water pool of the snowy mountain, stimulated her skin with cold, and lived an abstinence life until 1000 years later.
Later, Shiva was deeply moved by the love of the Snow Mountain Goddess, so she accepted the love of the Snow Mountain Goddess and married her.
Here's the process. Once, a great god came to the cold pool in the Himalayas, walked up to the goddess of snow mountain and said a lot of bad things about Shiva: "Aren't you stupid?" Shiva has a bad temper and is often angry. Why do you like him? "
The goddess of snow mountain said, "I just like him." Whatever you say, I won't listen to you. "
The Great God then slandered Shiva with more vicious words. The Snow Mountain Goddess was so angry that she cried, closed her eyes and covered her ears with her hands, but she didn't listen to him speak ill of Shiva.
As a result, the person in front of me suddenly changed Who is it, not Shiva?
He smiled at the tearful Snow Mountain Goddess and uttered the most romantic sentence in human history: "Dear Parvati, I am a slave you bought with asceticism." So they got married and became a happy couple.
Until their two sons were born, the eldest son was honest, but the second son was belligerent and often caused trouble. Shiva was furious about this. In a quarrel, when she saw her wife facing her son and opposing herself, the furious Shiva immediately cursed her for disappearing from her face. Who knows that once the spell is spoken, it will be fulfilled immediately, and the goddess of snow mountain will disappear immediately and throw herself into the mortal world.
As soon as his wife disappeared, Shiva regretted it immediately and looked for his wife in the dust. He was very excited when he learned that his wife had been reincarnated as the beautiful daughter of a village head near a beautiful harbor.
So he ordered his followers walrus to become monsters in the sea, tearing the fishing net and disturbing the fishermen's normal fishing. The village chief ordered that whoever can beat back the monsters at the bottom of the sea will marry his beautiful daughter to the hero. So Shiva became a handsome young man, repelled the monster, and married his wife and went home.
From this story, I feel that Shiva is still very human, and his body exudes many vivid and vivid forms such as cuteness and irritability at any time. Unlike those dull gods, people are afraid to get close. Therefore, in Indian mythology, Shiva has the most admirers.
Another story is that Brahma was born with five heads. Later, because he took one more look at the beautiful snow-capped mountain goddess in the cold pool, one head was cut off by the furious Shiva, and finally it became four heads, so that Brahma statues in some Buddhist holy places are now shaped into four-headed images.
Even Brahma dared to cut off his head. What could be more rebellious than this? In Indian mythology, Shiva is the God of Asura. Indra and Asura believed in these three gods in the Hindu mythology system. Brahma, Vishnu and Shiva. You can look at Shiva's fairy tales, that kind of desperate temperament.
