The family of the God of Destruction

 

The family of the God of Destruction

 

The old donkey told Agudenba how Shiva, the god of destruction, finally got married to Uma, the reincarnation of his ex-wife Sati, at the request of Brahma.

Later, Shiva and Uma had two children.

The eldest son is Kumara, the commander-in-chief of the heavenly soldiers and generals.

Saiganda is the Buddhist protector of the law: Vetuo Bodhisattva. Wei Tuo Bodhisattva, also known as General Wei and General Wei Tian, was originally the god of war of Brahmanism. He had six heads and twelve arms, held a bow and arrow, and rode a peacock. The belief in worshiping Wei Tuo was first popular in South India, and spread to North India after the fifth century. He was attracted by Mahayana Buddhism and became the patron saint. He is one of the eight great generals of the growing heaven in the south, ranking first among the thirty-two generals under the Four Heavenly Kings.

Not long after Saijantu was born, he defeated the Asura King Doraka and rescued the biggest crisis in the Three Realms.

Wei Tuo was born intelligent and abandoned worldly desires early. Later he converted to Buddhism and became a protector of the Dharma. Legend has it that the lawyer Daoxuan of the Tang Dynasty had a meeting with heavenly beings and mentioned that there was a general Wei under the Southern Heavenly King, and he felt that he appeared to protect the law. He was wearing armor, standing with his palms clasped, and his precious pestle on his arm. From then on, statues of Wei Tuo Bodhisattva with the body of a heavenly general began to be erected in Chinese monasteries.

The second son of Shiva and Uma is Ganesha, the god of wisdom, also known as the Ganesha. He is a god who is proficient in strategy and good at solving problems. The second son is the commander of a group of minor gods. Ganesha is also the God of Wisdom in India. This Ganesha also has four arms, but only one ivory. Only the left one. The right one is for writing the thickest ancient book in India. This book records the events of ancient times. war.

The old donkey smiled and said to Agudemba: In Indian mythology, the book is said to be written by the Ganesha. Because there are so many words in this book, the pen broke. In the end, the Ganesha did not The only option was to break my right tooth and continue writing.

Shiva still leads an ascetic life on Mount Kailash and becomes the head of the family with his wife Uma and their two children.

Shiva is the god of destruction in Hinduism. There are many Shiva temples all over India, and a stone pillar is often enshrined in the temple. The stone pillar is called "Shiva Linga", which is a symbol of Shiva's fertility. But in Buddhist literature, Shiva is called "Great Isvara".

The old donkey told Agudengba that Uma is the goddess of the Snow Mountains and the daughter of the mountain god of the Himalayas. This mountain god also has a daughter, the goddess of the Ganges. Goddess Ganges is the sister of Goddess Parvati, but she is also the wife of Shiva.

The old donkey smiled and said to Agudemba: The goddess of the Ganges was originally the wife of the great god Vishnu. In fact, Vishnu had three wives before, namely the goddess of eloquence, the goddess of wealth, and the goddess of Ganges. The three wives started fighting as soon as they got together, which annoyed Vishnu very much.

Later, he gave the goddess Benzai to Brahma and the goddess Ganges to Shiva. What he kept was the goddess of wealth.

In fact, Vishnu did not give his wife randomly. The goddess of eloquence symbolizes wisdom. The created Brahma needs wisdom, so Vishnu gave the goddess of wisdom to Brahma. Then, Vishnu himself needed wealth to maintain himself, so he left the treasure to the goddess. So why did the God of Destruction marry the Goddess Ganges? I don't know.

Agudumba said: Who do you think is the most powerful god in Indian mythology? The old man said: In my opinion, the most powerful one is the Snow Mountain Goddess.

The old donkey sang the song "Where is the True Love" composed by Shiva that year:

 

People always ask around:

Where is the real love in the world?

People also want to put aside their prejudices,

No more discrimination and prejudice,

Spread more true love and care,

This society will be better.

 

People long for a more perfect life,

Toward the best goal.

Maybe this is a dream after all,

Society is filled with an atmosphere of indifference.

Every corner is filled with the smell of copper,

True love has long been stripped of power.

 

In a city with abundant material resources,

Money can solve all difficulties.

This society has gone crazy,

Ignorant people think it doesn't matter,

Without any expression of appeal,

Our consciences have been buried.

 

The original act of standing up,

Has become no longer courageous to move forward,

It's obviously the right thing to do,

But not recognized by others.

So it became a vicious cycle,

It becomes a constant repetition of sin.

 

This indifference has infected society,

Let the stupid live like zombies,

Without any expression of emotion,

Spreading so much hatred that we can’t even count,

Far more than spreading love,

I can't let these things happen again.

 

I will destroy this old world,

Defeat any devil or evil deed,

To let true love return to this society,

Find a soul full of conscience,

Let people get a sense of reality,

Live your own happiness.
