When Vishnu fought Shiva's wrath
While stories abound of the minor gods fighting each other, it is rare to find the trinity of Brahma, Vishnu and Shiva standing against each other. One such story comes from the Taittiriya Samhita, which is part of the Krishna (black) Yajurveda, and Shatapatha Brahmana of the Shukla (white) Yajurveda and Gopatha Brahmana of the Atharvaveda. When Devi Sati, Shiva's wife, immolated herself after her father Daksha insulted Shiva, word reached Lord Shiva. He jumped up in anger and uprooted a plait of his matted hair and angrily dashed it upon the Kailasha mountain. From this dashing, Virabhadra and Bhadrakali emerged. Lord Shiva ordered Virabhadra to destroy Daksha's yagya (sacrifice). Virabhadra left with the ganas (Shiva's followers) to carry out his orders. Daksha appealed to Vishnu, who had come to attend Daksha's yagya, to protect him. Vishnu told him that he would protect him, but rebuked him for showing disrespect to Lord Shiva and told him that because of his behaviour, the gods gathered for the sacrifice were not strong enough to defend him. The Devas and Daityas prepared to fight the Ganas. Indra rode on his elephant Airavata, and the other gods also rode their vehicles. The ganas and Virabhadra fought furiously and caused them to flee in different directions. Then Vishnu entered the battlefield. On seeing him, Virabhadra bowed before him and said, 'Why have you come here to fight on the side of Daksha? How do you expect to be victorious after witnessing what he has done? To me, you are just like Shiva, but if you continue to face me with a desire to fight, I shall give you liberation.' Vishnu smiled at Virabhadra's words and said, 'I had been repeatedly requested by Daksha to attend the sacrifice. Like Shiva, I am subservient to my devotees. Either I shall restrain you or you shall restrain me.' Virabhadra bowed down to Vishnu and said, 'Just as Shiva, so also you. All of us are servants of both you and Shiva.' Vishnu smiled and said, 'Unhesitatingly fight me. When I have become satisfied with your arrows, I shall go to my abode.' In this friendly spirit, the battle resumed. Vishnu and Virabhadra had fought for some time when Indra attacked Virabhadra again. He struck Virabhadra with his vajra (thunderbolt). Virabhadra tried to swallow Indra along with his elephant. Vishnu quickly pushed Indra back and resumed fighting with Virabhadra. Virabhadra covered Vishnu with arrows. Vishnu attacked with his Sudarshan Chakra (discus). Virabhadra swallowed the discus. Vishnu stroked and pressed his mouth, causing him to spit the discus out. Vishnu thought that he had fulfilled his duty towards Daksha. He collected his discus and left for his abode. Thus ended a friendly fight between two of the Trimurti. YouTube: @

The Kanchi Kamakoti Peetam is all set to anoint Duddu Satya Venkata Surya Subrahmanya Ganesha Sharma Dravid as its 71st pontiff (acharya).

Ganesha Sharma Dravid, a Rig Vedic scholar from Annavaram Kshetra in Andhra Pradesh, served at the Sri Gnana Saraswathi Devasthanam in Basara, Telangana. He was initiated into Vedic studies in 2006. In addition to the Rig Veda, he has also completed studies in the Yajurveda, Samaveda, Shadangas, and Dashopanishads. He has also been pursuing Shastric studies.

They also extended an invitation to her to attend the function. The current pontiff Vijayendra Saraswathi was made acharya of the Peetam at the age of 15 by his predecessor, the 69th pontiff Jayendra Saraswathi, at a function held on May 29, 1983. Jayendra Saraswathi was made acharya by Chandrasekarendra Saraswathi, whom he succeeded at a grand religious function held on March 24, 1954.
