Guys! guys!

I have an interesting Story to tell you!. As it is Mandalakaalam . The story is Going to be about the Son of HariHara. Ayyappan.

~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~~•~•~•~•~•~

Ayyappan & Maalikapuram ~

Ayyappan was born with a purpose of Killing Mahishi (The sister of Mahishasura). After Mahishasura's death , Mahishi wanted Revenge. She did a Tapasya (penance) . Brahma appeared and as usual , he asked what was her wish. Mahishi replied that, her death should only happen in the hands of the child born from the union of two supreme godd And... Brahma dev granted her wish. She started causing HAVOC. She literally defeated the Devas. And started ruling over the Three worlds.

-----------> FAST FORWARD------------>

So , Ayyappan came and fought with Mahishi. They were fighting intensively. After days of Fighting. Mahishi got defeated and died. From a a beautiful lady appeared, she was 'Maalikapuram' / 'Maalikapurathamma'. She was a damsel who was cursed to live as a demon. She requested Ayyappan to marry her. But Ayyappan being Celibate. He replied that he would marry her when the 'Kanni Swamis' (Devotees of Ayyappan) will stop coming to Shabarimala. Till then , Maalikapurathamma will sit beside Ayyappan, not as his wife. But as a goddess. Maalikapurathamma happily accepts this. There is a tradition in which Maalikapurathamma is took for procession. She observes the 'Sharam Kutthi Aalu' (the banyan tree in which some spears are pierced by the Kanni Swamis'). If there are spears in that Banyan tree. Maalikapurathamma will sadly go back and continues her wait..

I know it is sad. But it has a reason right?...

The story of Vishnumaya part 2

Training by Mahadev 🔥

Shiva told Vishnumaya, about the demon Jalandhar (*according to us Keralites , Vishnumaya killed Jalandhar*) , Vishnumaya Listened Keenly as Shiva told him about the Frightening Demon , who defeated the devas. Even Lord Indra couldn't Defeat . Shiva also revealed the Fact that , Vishnumaya was destined to Kill Jalandhar.

Shiva then told Vishnumaya that , he himself will teach him the Art of Kalari ( also known as the mother of Martial Arts) , and other celestial Astras.

The training went on for Days and Days..

And finally the Day they were waiting had Arrived...

In the BATTLEFIELD 🏹

The sun was red , the wind was blowing really Fast as VISHNUMAYA, reached the Battleground along with other Devas. And he Saw the Mighty Asur , Jalandhar.

Vishnumaya challenged Jalandhar for a Fight , which he accepted . Vishnumaya and Jalandhar, had a Fight....Which was soo extreme. Vishnumaya used his Kuruvadi ( a stick like weapon) , and Hit Jalandhar right on his head. Jalandhar Fell down...but it didn't do any harm to him. Jalandhar laughed maniacally. And started Insulting Vishnumaya's Adoptive Mother ~ Koolivaka.

Vishnumaya Became Really Furious as he didn't like anyone insulting his Mother. Vishnumaya closed his eyes and chanted some mantras. And he turned himself into the Most powerful Weapon of Lord Vishnu..The SUDARSHANA CHAKRA. And Cut off Jalandhar's Head.

The devas were Shocked on seeing this.

Jalandhar got Killed by Vishnumaya.

Vishnumaya was still In Anger. But Shiva calmed him Down.

Indradev , requested Vishnumaya to stay in the swargalok , but Vishnumaya refused, saying that He belonged to the Poors , And he need to stay on Earth , for his Devotees. All the Devas Blessed him To be immortal and strong. Bidding Farewell to his Parents, Vishnumaya went back to Earth. Where he truly Belonged .

Chaos Again!💥

Vishnumaya happily reached his house. And started calling for his mother to tell her about the experiences that he experienced in the Devlok. But he didn't get any Response. The house was silent, the forest was silent. When he entered inside his house...he got shocked. All the things were laying here and there. There were Nail marks in the Ground. Vishnumaya started Panicking , he started searching for his mother , everywhere..

Then he heard some Familiar Screams , Yes...it was his mother. Vishnumaya ran to the direction in which the screams came .

He then saw a scary sight , a demon was dragging his mother Mercilessly, and was laughing Maniacally. Vishnumaya Got Angry, he jumped with his Kuruvadi , and started Fighting with the Demon. The fight was so extreme that , Vishnumaya got Wounds all over his body. His blood was flowing down the Ground. And then Kuttichaathans ( Bhootas / Ghosts , or good spirits ) were born , They also started fighting with the Demon. And finally Killed him .

He healed Koolivaka using his powers. And said to his mother, that he need to go away to another place , in order to protect his devotees. Koolivaka was sad. Vishnumaya gave a hug to his mother, he consoled her.

Finally, Vishnumaya got on his mount Buffallo and left for the sake of his Devotees.

Offerings for Vishnumaya: Toddy (alcohol)

Vishnumaya chaathan is the god of magic. Born to Shiva and koolivaka ( and avatar of Devi parvathi) , he is the youngest son of Lord Shiva after Ayyappan, soo he is the Lil guy of our Kailash family!!

Vishnumaya chaathan, is also mischevious in nature , he loves his devotees soo much and is also very protective of him.

He rides a Buffalo 🐃 (his favourite animal by the way)

And also has a stick in his hand. So...let's Know his story.

Story ✨

So one day Kirathan ( the hunter avatar of Lord Shiva) , was hunting and he saw a beautiful women, she is none other than Koolivaka , Kirathan instantly Fell in love with her and desired to Marry her , and he revealed that .

*for an extra note : this Koolivaka is not Parvathy, Koolivaka was actually a reincarnation of a sevika of Parvati, who was cursed* *Please Don't kill me for showing Shiva as a lover boy , but this is what actually happened*

Koolivaka was really nervous, as she knew he is none other than Shiva himself. But she accepted the proposal. Kirathan was very happy, and he went away for hunting.

Koolivaka was really Nervous , She didn't knew what to do , and then she got an Idea..she prayed to Devi Parvathi. Parvati appeared in front of her , and asks Koolivaka the matter . Koolivaka revealed the incidents. Parvathi became very pleased with her innocence, and she told Koolivaka Not to worry , and she herself will take the form of Koolivaka and will Marry Kirathan. Koolivaka was also happy.

And then Devi parvathi, Turned into Koolivaka's Form and Married Kirathan. And Kirathan and Koolivaka (Parvathy) had a Son.

Parvati gave The baby boy to Koolivaka to raise . And went back to Kailash.

Vishnumaya realises ✨

After many years Vishnumaya grown to a handsome teenager, He had lotus shaped eyes, black wavy hair , He loved to wear black Angavastram. Vishnumaya spent his childhood in the jungle , he loves to play an Instrument Called 'Eezara' ( a string instrument) , and loved to ride buffaloes.

After a long day , Vishnumaya came back to his little house ,and saw His mother Koolivaka lost in her thoughts, when he asked her what had happened, she revealed that He is actually the son of Lord Shiva and Parvati. Vishnumaya was shocked at the revelation, but He gave a smile and Said to Koolivaka that She will always remain as his Mother. Now Vishnumaya, had a wish...To visit Kailash and meet his REAL PARENTS.

A visit to Kailash 🏔️

Koolivaka Agreed to Vishnumaya's demand and they started leaving to the Himalayas, Several Days passed , Vishnumaya and his Mother Koolivaka , walked and walked through the stony path of the forest , the grainy and dry sands of the Desert.and finally they reached the Destination. But ..they had a problem.

Thus Named ✨❤️

Vishnumaya saw Nandi , and he knew that Nandi won't allow any Strangers to Kailash, Koolivaka nervously looked at Vishnumaya . And He got an Idea. He used his Maya (illution) and turned himself into the form of Lord Vishnu. He then walked to Nandi , and said that he had come to see Mahadev for an important reason. Nandi allowed Vishnumaya and Koolivaka inside kailash. And Vishnumaya returned to his original form. Parvati saw Vishnumaya and Hugged him, she showered her motherly affection on him. Shiva also saw him , He also showered his fatherly affection on him . Shiva said that He will be named as VISHNUMAYA , as he assumed the form of Vishnu with his Maya. Shiva was extremely protective of Vishnumaya. Shiva then told that Vishnumaya will have to stay in kailash for an Important job...

What will be the Reason??
