Other than in the Tamil Classics, Shiva Purana and passing references to some of the instances narrated in the Thiruvilayadal Purana, in the other Puranas,I am unable to find references to these in the Sanskrit works. Meenakshi Sunadareswarar is in the Madurai Meenakshi Temple. These Avatars are called the Avatars of Somasundara,an amsa of Shiva, and the husband of Meenakshi, an avatar of Goddess Parvati. These have taken place in Madurai, Tamil Nadu. These Avatars, Leelas of Shiva are 64 in number. Lord Shiva’s Leelas where He had appeared, done His job and disappeared are mentioned in the Tamil Classics, more vividly in the Thiruvilayadal Purana by Paranjothi Munivar, 6th Century AD. Probably an Avatar is different from Leela, an Avatar is the coming down of God, Avatara means ‘coming down’,whereas Leela can be translated loosely as ‘play,playful’. Īs I indicated in my earlier posts, the essential difference between an Avatar of Shiva and Vishnu lies in the fact ,in the case of Shiva, He does not stay in a Womb, called Ayonijaha (though this epithet is used for Vishnu in the Vishnu Sahasranama, I do not recall any instance where Vishnu seems to have appeared from nowhere and disappeared), in the case of Vishnu He is born as Humans in a womb, undergoes the trials and tribulations of a Human Being. 6 days ago - Free Mp3 Pop Music Lirik Chord Thanthi Tv 63 Nayanmargal Title Song.
