What does the story of Shiv avatar Tripurantaka Convey ?




Some believe Atlantis was the mythical Tripura; evil flourished here and so Shiva wanted to destroy it.

The Goddess Earth became his chariot whose wheels were the Sun and the Moon, Lord Brahma himself the Charioteer, Mount Meru his bow with Divine serpent Vasuki as the Bow String and the Lord Vishnu became the arrow.

And the Gods themselves volunteered to help Shiva.

What does this Vedic story tell us?


This story conveys an eternal message.

Which in recent times the author Paulo Coelho wrote in his famous book “The Alchemist”………………

“And, when you want something, all the universe conspires in helping you to achieve it.”

Just like the universe that conspired to help the Mahadev to destroy evil.
