The month of Sawan is considered very special. Lord Shiva is worshiped in this month and this month is said to be very important for worshiping Lord Shiva. In such a month, many forms of Shiva are worshiped. Today we are going to tell you about the 3 incarnations of Lord Shiva whose worship is considered beneficial. Let's know.

1- Virbhadra Avatar: Lord Shiva took this avatar when Goddess Sati sacrificed her body in the Yagya organized by Daksha. It is said that when Lord Shiva came to know of this, he uprooted one of his 'Jata' (Hair) in anger and furiously slammed it on the mountain. Mahabhayakar Virabhadra came from the east side of that Jata and this incarnation of Shiva destroyed the Yagya of Daksha and beheaded him by cutting Daksha's head.

2- Pippalad Avatar: This avatar of Shiva is believed to relieve Shani suffering. The story is, 'Pippalad asked the gods- what is the reason that my father Dadhichi left me before birth? The Gods said that this happened due to the sight of Saturn. Pippalad was very angry on hearing this. He cursed Shani to fall from the constellation. Saturn started falling from the sky due to the effect of curse. On the prayers of the Gods, Pippalad forgave Shani on the fact that Shani would not trouble anyone from birth to the age of 16 years. Since then, just by remembering Pippalad, Saturn's pain is removed. According to Shiva Mahapuran, Brahma himself named this incarnation of Shiva.

3- Nandi Avatar: The Nandeshwar avatar of Lord Shankar gives the message of love to all beings. Story- 'Shilad Muni was a brahmachari. Seeing the end of the dynasty, his father asked Shilad to produce children. Shilad prayed to Lord Shiva by wishing Ayoniz and deathless children. Then Lord Shankar himself gave a boon to Shilad to be born as a son. After some time, while plowing the land, Shilad found a child born from the land. Shilad named him Nandi. Lord Shankar made Nandi as his 'Gannadhyaksh'. In this way Nandi became Nandishwar. Nandi was married to Suyasha, the daughter of the Maruto.
