Vaikundha Chathurdashi commemorates Lord Vishnu’s worship of Lord Shiva.  The legend has that Lord Vishnu visited the most sacred land on the Earth Varnasi, had a desire to worship Lord Shiva with 1001 lotus flowers.   Lord Vishnu had ablutions in Manikarnika Theertham and initiated the worship.    Lord Shiva wanted to test the profundity of Lord Vishnu’s devotion and hid one of the flowers from the cluster.  Lord Vishnu realized the missing of one flower from the bunch and decided to resume the worship by offering one of his lotus eyes to Lord.   Lord Vishnu plucked one of his eyes and offered to Linga in place of lotus flower.  Lord Shiva was overwhelmed at the devotion and dedication of Lord Vishnu and appeared before him.  Further, Lord Shiva affirmed that Lord Vishnu as the supreme devotee of Lord Shiva and offered him the fierce weapon Sudharshana Chakra.
 
 


 
 
 
 
 

Whoever worships Lord Shiva and Lord Vishnu on this day would be blessed with the highest of pieties.





Jaya Jaya Sankara Hara Hara Sankara !!
