the story of the two birds


It is said that two rishis had been quarreled over the supremacy of Lord Shiva or Shakti (Parvati). When Lord Shiva appeared to them, and told them that both are needed to maintain this world, they did not accept it. Then he became angry and cursed them to become vultures. They understood their mistakes and asked for forgiveness. Lord Shiva blessed them to live for 5000 years and while in a vulture body visit different holy places to worship once in a day and get purified. So they came every day first to varanasi in the morning to take their bath, then go to Rameswaram worship the Ramalingam there, on midday to Vedagiri in Tirukkalikkunram to take their food and in Cidambaram to take rest in the evening. I my self have seen them 1992 while feed by priests, and they looked very ordinary, and i was not very satisfied with that vision, may it be do to the indian style of presenting their way of this story, and i thought it is just a bluff for uneducated people from the village. But i have been so much wrong. Later i have learned trough different persons that this place is indeed a very mystic place. My many thanks goes to HH Narasimha Maharaja who has guided me in this, and i dedicate Him this article. All credits will go to Him only, and all mistakes you may find are done by my self. Please read further to continue...
