00:11In the ancient stories, it is said about his seven sons.
00:15After the union of Lord Shiva and Mother Parvati, Lord Shiva's married life began
00:20and many incidents in his life led to the seven sons of Lord Shiva.
00:24Let us know about the seven sons of Lord Shiva.
00:28According to the stories, after the death of Sati, Lord Shiva sat on a hard penance.
00:33At that time, the demon named Tarakasura's atrocity had increased.
00:37All the deities who were troubled by Tarakasura went to Brahmaji.
00:41Then he told that the son of Lord Shiva and Parvati will kill Tarak.
00:46After this, Parvati got married and this is how Kartikeya was born and the demon was killed.
00:52According to the story, once Mother Parvati was going to take a bath.
00:56She saw that there was no one on guard.
01:00Then she created a son out of the dirt and dirt of her body and made him stand on guard.
01:06After a while, Lord Shiva came and the child stopped him from going.
01:12Angry, Lord Shiva cut the child's throat.
01:15Then after this, he put the head of the elephant child on Lord Ganesha.
01:19Shiva's third son was Sukesh.
01:21According to the ancient stories, the demon king Heti married a girl named Bhaya.
01:26From these two, a son named Vidyutkesh was born.
01:30Vidyutkesh's wife Sandhya's daughter was from Salkatangkata.
01:34Salkatangkata was a Vyabhicharini.
01:36Because of this, when her son was born, she left him without a heir.
01:41Lord Shiva and Mother Parvati protected that child and made him their son.
01:46Lord Shiva's fourth son is Ayappa.
01:50In South India, they are worshipped in Sabarimala temple.
01:53Ayappa is the son of Lord Shiva and Lord Vishnu's form Mohini.
01:58Seeing Vishnu's Mohini form, Lord Shiva became a brave man and Ayappa was born from him.
02:04According to Srimad Devi Bhagavad Purana, once Lord Shiva threw his third eye into the ocean.
02:12This is how Jalandhar was born.
02:14Jalandhar hated Lord Shiva a lot.
02:17Once, to make Mother Parvati his wife, Jalandhar started a war with Lord Shiva and he was killed.
02:24Lord Shiva's sixth son is Bhoma.
02:27In hard penance, Lord Shiva's sweat fell on the ground.
02:31Due to this sweat, Devi Bhoomi had a son.
02:35This son had four arms and he was of the colour of blood.
02:38This son's earth started nurturing him.
02:42Since then, he was called Bhoma because he was the son of Bhoomi.
02:46Mangalgraha is also known as Bhoma.
02:49Once, Mother Parvati came from behind and closed Lord Shiva's eyes.
02:54This created darkness in the world.
02:56Then, Lord Shiva opened his third eye.
02:59Due to the light of the third eye, Mother Parvati started sweating and the son was born from her.
03:06Due to being born in darkness, his name was kept as Andhak.
03:10He was blind since birth.
