The power of Shiva at Pashupatinath



Pashupatinath Temple is devoted to the Hindu's diety lord Shiva which lies in the banks of Bagmati River, Lord Shiva is known by almost 1008 names out of which Pashupati is one of them, Pashupati means “Lord of all animals”.There are many mythological myths for the origin of Pashupathinath, let me let you one of such a myth it is said that Lord shiva and Parvati were so impressed by seeing the beauty of kathmandu valley they transofrmed themselves into antelopes and walked through the valley, Since Shiva lived by the Bagmati river in the form of an antelope he said he would like to be known as Pashupatinath, He decided to remain there in the form of Shiva Lingam, he also said whoever will come and beheld the Shiva Lingam would never reborn as an animal.
