Lord Shiva narrates to Goddess Parvathi about His eternal abode
on the Earth, situated in the vast land of Prabhasa Theertham on the Western Coast.
This entire land is spread out the brilliance of Lord Surya comparatively for
longer hours, thus it was known as 'Prabhas' / Luster, and this is also
the foremost reason for the existence of Lord Surya Narayana Temple on
this sacred land. Very close to this
Temple of Lord Suryanaraya, situated a magnificent temple of Lord Sidhheshwar,
which was known as Jaigishavyeshwar in olden days. Lord Shiva explains
the myth of the existence of Lord Siddhheshwar to Goddess Parvati. There was a
sage Jaigishavya, an ardent devotee of Lord Shiva who used to worship Lord
Mahoday, a self-manifested Linga. He was leading an extremely austere life,
remembering the fondness of ashes of Lord Shiva; he smeared the Linga with the
ashes and slept on the ashes. The most pleased Lord Mahoday blessed the
sage with immortality and he would be a known as 'Yogacharya' /Teacher of
Yoga. Lord Mahoday worshipped by
Yogacharya would be capable to remove all the sins committed. At the begining of the Kali era, the
'Balkhilyas' the sages /Lord Brahmas Putras arrived to worship Lord Mahoday
worshipped were attained Salvation. The self manifested Linga of Lord Mahoday is also known as Sidheshwar
Linga which is capable to fulfill the desires of the worshipper.
There are many pilgrim places situated in the vicinity of
Siddha Linga Kshetram. It is believed that, whoever worships Siddhalinga
on the Trayodhashi day of bright half of the month Chaithra attains virtues similar
to Pundareeka Yagna.
Jaya Jaya Sankara Hara Hara Sankara !!
Jai Sriman Narayana !!
