How Shiva brought a man life after being eaten by Lion? True story!
Story
Once upon a time, there were a gaint dark forest. And it's well known fact that local tribe people stay there. Yogi saints and Agohori of different communities usually took up their temporary shelter. And they got chance of hospitality by local tribe people. Out of all those innocent, illiterate people there were a husband- wife couple, who were always keen to follow the teaching and instructions of saints, monks, aghori etc.
In India " Atithi devo bhawa" were followed, means " Guests are god.
Yogi followed shiva's teaching. So, they often praise Rudra dev.
Because every science was given by Shiva. Lord Shankhar.
Those two Husband and wife became devotee to Lord Shiva.
One day they decided to do devotional worship. They took
holistic oath that they would leave worship only when Lord Shiva comes in their front.
They enshrined a stone, not of proper shape, they started
offering any leaves as per rituals shiva linga (means Symbol of shiva) needs Belpatra,(I don't know what it is called in English) which was wrong completely.
They even poured water improperly, unusually with none of their rituals were correct.
But what they had were full belief on Lord.
Shiva cames in a form of Handsome Yogi. He introduced himself as "Yatinath". Those tribe couples didn't wanted to leave their worshipping but as per the saints teaching. They recalled" guest are gods."
So they thought helping a guest is as similar to worshipping Lord!
They took Lord in their home, offer their bed, they even offered the meat of animal as a food with their hand and Lord Shiva even ate that. They washed the Lord's feet with water and drunk it.
They said " O Lord! We drunk exlier, not an ordinary water."
Shiva said " Who told u this? "
"Lord Saints said" Politely replied the wife.
At night they all requested Shiva to tske sleep and entire night couple kept pressing Shiva feet.
At suddenly, A lion roared, and they hubby, told wife to stay quite so that yogi don't get disturbed.
He himself went out from home, just to stop lion so that Yogi don't get disturbed.
Early in the morning, when Shiva woke up, then the wife suddenly went out, and started weeping at the body of her husband. That body to whom the lion quenched his hunger. Few bones were only left "
Shiva told " why you don't awakend me? "
"This was my hubby order. Not to disturb you? " Crying wife said.
She said, " Oh! Yogi. Please kill me, if we did our hospitality fairly with true devotion. I can't live without my husband. Please. "
She knew that after death no one can come.
Lord Shiva Shankar said, " I am much impressed by your devotion. No need to die."
Shiva revived his husband. All fleshes formed again.
Husband soon gain his self consciousness and said you are not a normal Yogi. You looks any biggest Yogi. Are u a dev? Who u are?. .
" Son, I am Shiva, to whom u were worshipping."
In next life u will be king and ur wife queen name Davyanti"
