Marvelous Facts about Yaksheshwara Avatara of Lord Shiva
Being the universal god, Shiva understood the thoughts of the Devas, and hence, he took the Yaksheswara form, half demon and half human, he created some grass, and asked them to tear it into pieces. But even after making several attempts, the Devas failed to cut the grass, and finally they have realized the supremacy of Lord Shiva and worshipped his holy Yaksheswara Avatar.
The Yaksheswara form of Shiva is also worshipped by some Shiva devotees as Isanya. In this beautiful form of Shiva, he appears black in colour, wore scull garlands, appears with a big moustache with a small beard, and his eyes sparkles like that of thousand suns. After making the Devas to realize their mistake, Lord Shiva appeared in his true form, and blessed the divine devas. Lord Yaksheswara is mostly worshipped by the tribal people, in some remote villages in North India.
Sree Yaksheswara Temple is a famous Shiva temple which is located at Edayoor,Kerala, and it is believed to be the only temple which is dedicated to Lord Yaksheswara. Gods and Goddesses have taken lot of avatars, in order to remove the evil forces from the world. We would be having lot of questions in our mind, to find out the reason behind the activities of the deities. We cannot entirely know about the functions performed by the gods and goddesses, since we have got only limited powers. Hence, instead of doing advanced research work about the deities, let us worship them sincerely, faithfully and honestly, without keeping any doubts about them on our mind.
