The Story of Swarga Dwareswara
"The doorway to Swarga opens through humility, surrender and sincere worship of Mahadeva."
Sri Swarga Dwareswara Mahadeva is the 9th sacred Shivalingam in the Mahakalavana 84 Shiva Lingas series and is known as the divine doorway to Swarga and Moksha.
The sacred history of this Shivalingam is connected to Daksha Yagna, the immense power of Veerabhadra and the devas losing access to Swarga because of their pride and lack of surrender to Mahadeva.
As explained by Siddhaguru Sri Ramanananda Maharshi, Daksha conducted a great yagna but failed to honour Lord Shiva. This act of pride and disrespect led to severe consequences.
Through the divine command of Mahadeva, Veerabhadra appeared with tremendous power and destroyed the pride surrounding Daksha Yagna.
Because the devas had failed to surrender to Lord Shiva and had supported the yagna conducted without honouring him, they lost access to Swarga.
Distressed by their condition, the devas approached Brahma Deva and prayed for a way to regain entry into the celestial worlds.
Brahma Deva guided them to the sacred Mahakalavana and instructed them to seek the darshan of a divine Shiva Linga capable of reopening the path to Swarga.
Following his guidance, the devas reached Mahakalavana and worshipped Lord Shiva with humility, devotion and complete surrender.
After receiving the darshan of Sri Swarga Dwareswara Mahadeva, the closed doors of Swarga opened once again, allowing the devas to return to the celestial realm.
Darshanam and worship of Sri Swarga Dwareswara Mahadeva are believed to remove the sins accumulated over many births, grant Swarga Prapti, fulfil rare desires, bestow immense punya, remove fear and bless devotees with freedom from rebirth through the grace of Lord Shiva.
"Those who surrender their pride at the feet of Mahadeva receive the grace that opens the path to Swarga and Moksha."
