When Lord Vishnu performed a Ganesh Puja

Lord Vishnu grew agitated. He could not find his conch - Valampuri. Then he heard someone blowing Valampuri on Mount Kailash. Lord Vishnu prayed to Lord Shiva and asked him to get Bal Ganesha to return the conch.  Lord Shiva advised Vishnu to perform a Ganesh puja. Lord Vishnu agreed. The merciful Lord Ganesha returned the conch.  The form of Lord Ganesha that returned the Valampuri is known as the Valampuri Ganesh who is depicted with his trunk facing right instead of the customary left.

Paramhansa Swami Trailanga, the living Shiva of Varanasi

Shiva

Swami Trailanga, the great saint of Varanasi in the twentieth century, was considered Lord Shiva in person by devotees. Towards the end of his life, Swami would sit very still for hours together as devotees poured water on him from early in the morning to noon as an act of devotion to Lord Shiva.
Swami was known to posses many yogic powers but lived simply.

Sri Ramakrishna, the great mystic of Bengal and Kali's son, declared "I saw that the universal Lord Himself was using his body as a vehicle for manifestation. He was in an exalted state of knowledge. There was no body-consciousness in him. Sand there became so hot in the sun that no one could set foot on it. But he lay comfortably on it."

May Lord Shiva, the lord of Varanasi, bless us with his merciful glance!

Trailanga Swami, the ferocious tiger and the king of Nepal

The king of Nepal was not able to shoot a tiger despite repeated attempts. He chased the tiger into thick bushes and with his gun ready, he proceeded cautiously. He heard a deep growl and walked in that direction. He saw the terrified tiger sitting at the feet of a naked sadhu. The Sadhu was patting the roaring tiger.

"Fear not, o king. The tiger intends no harm. Everything has been created by God. When you love, you are loved in return. Always, bear this in mind," said the calm yogi.

The yogi was none other than Trailanga Swami (1607-1887), who was known as Living Shiva of Benaras.

Har Har Mahadev! Jai Trailanga Swami!

May we be fortunate to lay our heads in worshipful reverence at the lotus feet of Trailanga Swami, the leading among Shiva-bhaktas!

Shiva and the legend of Kirtimukha

Kirtimukha

Once, when a demon threatened the end of the world, Lord Shiva opened his third eye and the hungry monster Jalandhara came into existence. He was ravenously hungry. Before Lord Shiva could order Jalandhara to attack the demon, the terrified demon fell at Shiva's feet.

Lord Shiva, being compassion itself, forgave the demon and asked the monster  Jalandhara to not attack him. "O lord," said Jalandhara, "you have created me hungry. I cannot control myself. I have to eat something. What shall I eat, if not this demon?" 

The Lord smiled and said, "Eat yourself starting from the tail and work your way upwards."

Jalandhara obeyed and began eating himself till all that was left was his face. Lord Shiva then declared that Jalandhara would henceforth be known as Kirtimukha and he would grace the entrance of every garbagriha of a temple dedicated to Shiva.

Have you seen the demon's face with bulging eyes, huge teeth and ferocious mouth? That is kirti mukha who represents the nature of human desire. It is never fulfilled unless Lord Shiva's grace descends upon us. Then the desire eats and ends itself till very little of the self is left. Then, only then, is one suitable to enter the service of the Lord.

May Lord Shiva, whose body white as the jasmine flower, inspires wonder in  all beings in all the world, bless us with a desire for liberation. 

Har Har Mahadev!
