Mythological story of Lord Shiva's birth: know when, where and how Shiva appeared

Dear Lord Shiva is not born to all of us, he is Swayambhu. But details of their origin are found in the Puranas. According to Vishnu Purana, Brahma was born from the lotus, the navel of Lord Vishnu, while Shiva is said to have originated from the glory of Lord Vishnu's forehead. According to Vishnu Purana, Shiva is always in Yogamudra due to the sharpness of the forehead.

 

According to Shrimad Bhagwat, once Lord Vishnu and Brahma were overwhelmed by arrogance and fighting themselves as superior, Lord Shiva appeared with a burning pillar.

 

The story of Shiva's birth described in the Vishnu Purana is perhaps the only child form description of Lord Shiva. According to this, Brahma needed a child. He did penance for this. Then suddenly Shiva the crying child appeared in his lap. When Brahma asked the child the reason for crying, he replied innocently that he has no name so he is crying.

Do you know 10 Rudravatara of Lord Shiva: - Then Brahma named Shiva as 'Rudra' which means 'wearer'. Shiva did not remain silent even then. So Brahma gave him another name but Shiva did not like the name and still he did not keep quiet. In this way, Brahma gave 8 names to silence Shiva and Shiva became known by 8 names (Rudra, Shrava, Bhava, Ugra, Bhima, Pashupati, Ishaan and Mahadev). According to Shiva Purana this name was written on the earth.

There is a mythology of Vishnu Purana behind Shiva being born as Brahma's son. According to this, when the entire universe including the earth, sky, earth, was submerged, then there was no god or creature except Brahma, Vishnu and Mahesh (Shiva). Then only Vishnu was seen lying on his Sheshnag on the water surface. Then Brahma Ji appeared on the lotus canal from his navel. Shiva appeared when Brahma-Vishnu was talking about the creation. Brahma refused to recognize them. Then fearing Shiva's displeasure, Lord Vishnu provided divine vision and reminded Brahma of Shiva.

 

Brahma realizes his mistake and apologizes to Shiva and asks him for his blessings to be born as his son. Shiva accepted this blessing by accepting Brahma's prayer. When Brahma started the creation of the universe, he needed a child and then he got the blessings of Lord Shiva. So Brahma did penance and the boy Shiva appeared as a child in his lap.
