God Sarabheswara (Lord Shiva) - Destroyer of Enemies/One who Saves Lives

God Sharabha or Sarabha is a part-lion and part-bird beast in Hindu mythology, who,
according to Sanskrit literature, is eight-legged and more powerful than a lion or an elephant,
possessing the ability to clear a valley in one jump. The two wings has Pritingara Devi and Shoolini Durga.

God Sarabha along with Printingara devi, Shoolini devi in the wings help remove enemies, black magic, save life. Please pray to him.

The Sharabha Upanishad of the Atharva Veda, many Puranas and the Shaiva Agamas narrate
that god Shiva assumed the Avatar (incarnation) of Sharabha to pacify Narasimha - the fierce
man-lion avatar of Vishnu worshipped by Vaishnava sect. This form is popularly known as
Sharabeshwara

The Chola dynasty in Tamil Nadu was particularly favourable to the beliefs of Shaiva sect. It is
said that the sectarian aspect got highlighted during their reign. This is evident from the four
Sharabha images, the earliest at the Vikramsolishwaram temple near Kumbakonam built by
Vikrama Chola (1118–35). The other images are at Darasuram and Kampahareshvarar temple,
Thirubuvanam built by a Chola ruler, Kulottunga Chola III where Sharabha image is housed in a separate shrine. [14]

A sculpture of Sharbeshwaramurti in the Tribhuvanam temple, a Shiva temple in Tanjore district,
in Tamil Nadu is seen with three legs, with body and face of a lion and a tail. It has four human
arms, the right upper hand holds axe, noose is held in the lower right hand, the deer in the upper
left hand and fire in the lower left hand. Narasimha is shown with eight arms in the
Airavatesvara Temple at Darasuram, a rare image of the Chola period, in black basalt, depicts
Shiva as Sharabha.

The legend of Sharabha as an incarnation of Shiva is narrated in many Hindu scriptures and each
presents a different version to suit one religious beliefs. But one common refrain in all these
depictions is that Sharabha is a combination of a huge animal-bird beast with enormous strength
manifested with the purpose of pacifying similar ferocious avatars of Vishnu such as Narasimha
(man-lion)

Please listen to the mantras daily:
