Who has no date of birth. The idol of Lord Shiva kept whileperforming Kathak,Bharatnatyam is called Nataraja. Broken idols of any deity are notworshipped. But no matter how much the Shivling is broken, it is stillworshipped. ***We celebrate Shivratri becauseShankar-Parvati gotmarried on this day. My note-*** They day is also told as theincident LordSiva consumed the poison consumed during churning of milky ocean. Amavari was also a sister of Lord Shankar.Which was made by Mahadevhimself with his illusion on the insistence of Mother Parvati. Lord Shiva and Mother Parvati had only oneson. Whose name was Kartikeya. Lord Ganesha was created bymother Parvati from her ubtan (coat applied on the body). LordShiva cut off the head of Ganesha because Ganesha did not allow Shiva to meetParvati. His mother Parvati told him to do so. Bhole Baba had played Damru fourteentimes for Sankadi after performing Tandav.From which the basis of Maheshwar Sutra i.e. Sanskrit grammar was revealed. Ketaki flower is never offered toLord Shankar. Becausehe had become the witness of Brahma ji's lie. Almost everyone offers Belpatra onShivling. But for thisalso a special precaution has to be taken that belpatra cannot be offeredwithout water. ***Water is never offered to LordShankar and Shivling with a conch shell.Because Shiv ji had reduced Shankhchud to ashes with his trident. Let me tellyou, the conch shell was made from the bones of conch shell. My note- In south India Sankhabhishekam is done for Lord Siva. The name of the snake which is wrappedaround Lord Shiva's neck is Vasuki.He was the second king of snakes after Sheshnag. Lord Shiva was pleased andgave a boon to put it around his neck. Moon has got the **boon of living in LordShiva's hair. My note- It was a help givento Moon by Lord Siva, hisco- brother. Daksha Prajapathi, father in law of moon cursed Moon being partial with Rohiniin spite of warning among his 27 wivesto have no body. Siva, his co brother being Sati’s husband( another daughter ofKing Daksha). Theskin of the tiger that Lord Shiva wears, he killed that tiger with his ownhands. Nandi, who is the vehicle of Lord Shankar and is also at the topof all his ganas. Hewas actually the son of Shilad Rishi who was given a boon. Who laterbecame Nandi due to harsh penance. Why does Ganga flow from the head of Lord Shiva? When the thought of bringing Goddess Ganga onearth came, a problem arose that due to her speed, there would be hugedestruction. Then Lord Shankar was persuaded to first tie Ganga in his hair,then slowly bring her down on the earth from different directions. Lord Shankar's body turned blue because he had consumed poison. Actually,14 things came out during the churning of the ocean. 13 things were divided inhalf by the Asuras and the Gods, but no one was ready to take the poison named Halahal. This poison was very deadly, even a drop of it could cause greatdestruction on the earth. Then Lord Shiva drank this poison. That's whyhe got the name Neelkanth. LordShiva is considered the God of destruction. That'swhy it is said that the third eye of the Lord should remain closed.Everywhere Shiva........ Q2 Who is the mother of the goddess Laxmi?

Q3 What should I do if everybody is more intelligent andtalented than me? A3 Srinath Nalluri,M.Sc, B. Eng inMechanical Engineering & Minor (Technopreneurship), National University ofSingapore (Graduated 2020)14h Manyof you might know these two super talented singers - SP Balasubrahmanyam and S Janaki SJanaki learnt the basics of music formally while SP Balasubrahmanyam never hadacademic music training.[1] Also, she started her career almost adecade earlier than SPB, during which she developed professional-level proficiency. Inone interview, S Janaki said this funny incident about him[2] Iused to sing my portion first. Since he was busy, he used to sing his partlater. WhenI sing, I initially follow the music director’s instructions and sing the lineshow he wants. When the lines repeat, I improvise and add a sangathi to thesong. Hewould come later and listen to what I have sung. Andthen, he would sing the lines modified by me right at the beginning of thesong, from the very first line itself. Later the people who listened toit on the cassette used to think that SP Balu sang so professionally well thatJanaki couldn’t resist copying his style towards the end of the song.
