Angareswara Sivalingam

🕉

The 43rd of the sacred 84 Mahakalavana Shiva Lingas, Sri Angareswara Mahadeva is associated with Angaraka or Kuja and blesses devotees with courage, stability, prosperity, protection and relief from adverse planetary influences.

The Story of Angareswara

"Through intense tapas and devotion to Lord Shiva, Angaraka attained divine power and an honored place among the Navagrahas."

In the sacred Skanda Purana, Lord Shiva reveals to Goddess Parvati the glory of the 43rd Shiva Linga of Mahakalavana, known as Sri Angareswara Mahadeva.

Lord Shiva explains that Angaraka, also known as Kuja or Mars, manifested from His divine body. At the time of Angaraka's appearance, extraordinary signs arose throughout creation — the earth trembled, mountains shook and the oceans became turbulent.

Angaraka possessed tremendous strength, fiery energy, courage and determination. Yet he desired a permanent and honored position among the celestial powers.

He therefore performed intense tapas and worshipped Lord Shiva with complete devotion. Pleased by his austerities, Mahadeva granted Angaraka the status of one of the Navagrahas.

Lord Shiva declared that Angaraka would influence important aspects of human life associated with courage, physical strength, blood, land, property, determination and marriage.

Lord Shiva then directed Angaraka to worship the sacred Shiva Linga in Mahakalavana. Through this worship, Angaraka received immense spiritual power and the grace of Mahadeva.

Because Angaraka attained divine blessings through worship of this Linga, it became renowned as Sri Angareswara Shivalingam.

Devotees worship Angareswara Mahadeva seeking relief from difficult Kuja influences as well as greater courage, stability, prosperity and spiritual strength.

"Power becomes auspicious when fiery energy is disciplined through devotion, humility and Dharma."
