A man who rose to become god-like because of his karma. One of the tridev who teaches and preaches humans and gives life lessons to become better individuals. A lesson that there exists a potential god in every single human being. The only thing we have to do is to listen to ourselves.

For every single instance of a life event that happened in his life has some reason and lesson that can pave the path to success without restlessness. Lord Vishnu often tells goddess Lakshmi that a single act of Shiva is the teaching for human beings, and not a single instance is against humanity. The only god who is equally respected by the devas and asuras. The reason being that he is not biased over the outcomes, whosoever is doing hard work is granted with the wish and then that wish is being carried out with the thoughts of that one being’s wisdom. He is the wish granted, not the god of right or wrong.

The karmas of a person are their own choice of thoughts and acts. Everyone is blessed with an equal brain, it’s their choice to opt for right or wrong. Mahadev is a fierce warrior and person of words yet so humble at the same time, all powerful but passionate lover and a charismatic dancer, a destroyer of evil, and balances the nature.

Now it's time to settle on earth after giving duties to everyone, Shiva now thought of a place to reside on earth. While standing he had a look and found a space that had extremities to the extent where normal people can never think to live on. It was on the greatest altitude, low oxygen, and chilly ambiance based on the cosmological axis. The place is just like the pyramid at the centre of the earth. The mountain holds supernatural powers beyond human understanding.

Oh Yes! It is the great Kailash that has been chosen by lord shiva to make his home. Shiva then gazed at the pink sky ready to welcome the sun. The clouds were hovering the peaks of a mountain, the sun and the peaks were portraying the magnificent backdrop of the Himalayas, even Shiva was not able to take his eye off from the scenic beauty. Shiva smiled and closed his eyes all set for ordering Bhadra for guarding the entrance so that he can meditate without any hindrance. Then he looked to the left where he great Manasarovar lake existed, and thought to take a deep bath. As he was so mesmerized by everything he made his home, a place full of beauty called it heaven. The Kailash was not able to show his gratitude and was very happy that tears rolled down his eyes by an overwhelming gesture of Shiva. Some days prior he felt that his height and climate were not suitable for life made him sad as humans never ever visited him and today he was chosen by the Shiva, god of gods. He asked Shiva to be relaxed and promised him to give peace of mind and will always abide all the duties. Shiva smiled and praised Kailash for his massive proportions spread enormously and said “ Your destiny is much larger than these massive mountains.” He was so overwhelmed to hear it and thanked him.

Now Shiva went towards the lake, and every single bit suddenly became so lively from grasses to flowers, from the path to the clouds were so amazed, the wind lowered the pace and turn into a cool and soothing breeze to welcome the Shiva, flowers bloomed all around and the fragrance was fantastic. Whole ambiance became heartwarming and Shiva was very happy, he gave a subtle smile as the gesture. The Manasarovar was also keen to welcome him and turned its chilled water to the cozy warmth to offer the gesture. Shiva enjoyed the dive and then came back to the place, he then sat on the big stone layered with ice and now he was on his ‘ Dhyana ‘ meditation stage. The trees around shed some flowers everywhere, the environment was chilled but full of the warmth of gratitude.

A livid Shiva closed his eyes and called out some devtas to take care of the world and embodied them with the powers. The earth was fit for every single species made by the lord Bramha and with the arrival of good bad will always be accompanied. To manage everything everyone was given their set of duties deputed by lord Vishnu.

‘You are our god, Shiva’ said everyone. ‘Your decision is our decision, that is the tradition.

Now Shiva said, ‘We all are equally important for the smooth movement and all are welcomed to give any suggestion for the betterment of everyone’. Anything better will be welcomed over the pointlessness of violence. Shiva being Shiva then added, ‘But the choice is yours to go with it or not’.

The people, devtas, and asuras were very clear about it, respect for lord Shiva was not just the convention but also for his character. He was gracious, victorious, and fierce at the same time full of humanity, love, and care.

They spoke in one voice, “Your decision is our decision” and then everyone departed. Watching all these, Kailash felt so blessed by the humbleness of Bholenath and once again thanked him for choosing him his abode.

Kailasha referred to himself as a perfect example of rags to riches whereas he was once not even fit for human existence, and now is overloaded with gods and deities. Now onwards his name was regarded as the home of the almighty and written in the golden book of history. Kailash now knew that his existence was not meant to be wild but his destiny brought him to the blossoms of beautiful cherries. His wait was worth doing it and proved patiently waiting with full trust and faith can create miracles, the only required is immense faith in god as everything that exists is for some reason. Nothing in this cosmos is worthless.
