Story 1:
The brilliant radiance of the sun has vanished suddenly, The pleasant coolness of the moon has gone suddenly, The temperature in the universe had gone down suddenly!!!!
Every God, Demi gods, Rishis, Munis, and every other being were confused without knowing the reason!!!! These all were reactions of a small play full act of Sri Parvati!!!!
Guess what she had done??
She had playfully closed the eyes of her beloved husband, Lord Shiva, whose eyes are Sun and Moon! The world had become dark then!! The sparsha sambanda of devi and Lord had given birth to a child, it was too dark and was named Andhaka!!
This child was destined to be brought up by the demonic king Hiranyaksan, brother of Hiranyakasipu. Hiranyakasipu was killed by Mahavishnu during his Narasimha avatar!!
Thus due to the brought up the child Andhaka grew as fine asura with all demonic qualities Asura s and was called as Andhakasura!! The trouble begins here!!!!
The Deva and asura war broke out as usual!! The devas went to Lord Mahavishnu who advised them take refuge at Mt. Kailash as the subject is son of Lord Shiva!!!!
Lord Shiva agreed to put the menace to end and entered the battle field!!! The opponent had formidable powers due to his inherent birth quality!! The battle continued for years!!! Lord Shiva was surprised to see the asura forces joining the battle in such large numbers as he had killed all of them atleast few times!!! The reason behind the asuraas joining the battle field was none other than Bhargava, the Asura Guru, who with his knowledge of Mrityu Sanjeevini mantra was raising the dead asuras back to life!!!!!
Lord Shiva decided to end this war, so he swallowed the asura guru, Bhargava stayed inside the lord for about 3000 years and later with grace of lord came out and later got the name as Sukraacharya!!! After swallowing the guru, lord took the form Bairava and entered the battle field, the fierce battle continued as from every drop of Andhakaasura created equal number of that asura, hence Lord Bairava multiplied him self into sixty four numbers and Sri Parvati took the form of Kalidevi and ensured not a single drop of blood is spilt, Lord BAIRAVA with his Trident kills the asura!!!!!! Thus the universe was saved from the atrocities of Andhakaasura!!!!
Story 2:
During the period of the poetic saint Avvaiyar's later days, while she was performing Pooja to Lord Ganesha here she saw two of her contemporaries going to Kailash for salvation!!!!! She could not resist to see them and join them, however she was in middle of her Pooja! She was worried as how she will reach Kailash??
Her God Ganesha assured her that he will assist her in reaching Kailash, so Avvaiyar continued her Pooja and sung " Vinayagar Agaval"!! After the Pooja Ganesha lifted his devotee with his trunk and extended it to Kailash and dropped Sri Avvaiyar there!!!!!!
