Lord Sarabeswarar – The God for Speedy Recovery from Any Surgery!!
It is quite common among everyone to feel anxious before having an operation or surgery. As the surgery date gets closer, we might feel uneasy, anxious, scared, and nervous by the thought of it. We always seek the blessings of the Almighty for the surgery to go well and for the speedy recovery.
The main God to worship before going for any sort of surgery and for a speedy recovery from its impact is Lord Sarabeswarar.
As per Hindu Mythology, Lord Sarabeswara is the unique form of Lord Shiva and is known to be the combination of a bird and Lion with 8 legs, 4 hands, 2 wings, sharp tooth and nails which makes Him look ferocious.
It is said that Lord Shiva took the form of Lord Sarabeswarar to bring down the anger and ferociousness of Lord Narasimha. Lord Narasimha killed the demon Hiranyakashipu and even after completing His mission, His anger did not subside. Lord Narasimha’s ferocity continued relentlessly, and even the Gods began fearing his fury. Ultimately, they pleaded with Lord Shiva to handle the difficult situation. Lord Shiva first tried to calm down the Vishnu Avatar through his own terrifying form Veerabhadra. But it was of no use. Then Lord Shiva himself took the aggressive form of Sarabha, the beast, which appeared to be a deadly mix of a lion, a bird, and a human, which ultimately brought down the ferociousness of Lord Narasimha.
Lord Sarabeshwara is the ruthless vanquisher of evil and a great protector. He bestows the devotees with fearlessness and the strength to face the battles of life.
People who are about to undergo any surgery are advised to worship Lord Sarabeswarar, especially on Sundays during the Rahu Kalam (4.30 PM – 6 PM). Chanting Sarabeswara Mantra for 21 Times would remove all the fear and the anxiety from the minds of the people. It is strongly believed that Lord Sarabeswarar removes all the negative forces and ensures the speedy recovery for the people who worship Him with utmost devotion.
Lord Sarabeswara can be worshipped in many temples. But the Kampaheswarar temple at Thirubhuvanam, near Kumbakonam, is one of the most famous temples for worshipping Lord Sarbeshwarar.
