Removal of Nirmalya Dosha
Removes karmic defects caused by crossing or disrespecting Shiva Nirmalya.
The Story of Nagachandeswara
"The grace of Mahadeva removes even subtle karmic defects when worship is performed with awareness, humility and sincere devotion."
Sri Nagachandeswara Mahadeva is the 19th sacred Shivalingam in the Mahakalavana 84 Shiva Lingas series. This sacred shrine is associated with the divine being Nagachanda and the removal of Nirmalya Dosha.
Nagachanda had attained the rare status of Ganatva through deep devotion to Mahakala Mahadeva. He once travelled through Mahakalavana in a celestial vehicle.
The devas asked how he could travel through the sacred forest without incurring the sin of crossing Shiva Nirmalya, the sanctified offerings associated with Lord Shiva.
Nagachanda explained that near Sri Ishaneswara Shivalingam stood a powerful sacred Lingam capable of destroying the karmic effects of Nirmalya Langhana.
Following his guidance, the devas approached the shrine and worshipped Lord Shiva with devotion. Because Nagachanda revealed the spiritual power of this Lingam, it became known as Sri Nagachandeswara Mahadeva.
Lord Shiva later explained to Goddess Parvati that remembering, having darshan of, or worshipping this sacred Lingam frees devotees from sins and karmic defects connected with Nirmalya Langhana.
Worship of Sri Nagachandeswara Mahadeva is also believed to grant peace of mind, self-control, physical health, spiritual radiance and the fulfilment of rare and sincere aspirations.
"Mindful devotion to Nagachandeswara purifies hidden karmic errors and fills the devotee with peace, strength and Shiva's grace."
