Lord Shiva Has a Complete Family

Lord Shiva, the ascetic was not ready to enter into the household life. He was happy with His meditation in solitude. It was dangerous to convince Him to get ready for wedding. Kaamdev, the god of desire, put his diligent effort to put the desire in Him for the marriage.  Lord Shiva never tolerate if someone try to perturb his meditation. The same audacity had been done by Kaamdev, hence in ferocity, He incinerated Kaamdev into ashes. A demon named Taraksura, had a boon, not be killed by anyone except the son of Shiva. Tarakasura`s atrocity had created the havoc and imbalance in the three worlds. To kill Tarakasura, there was no any option rather than getting marriage of Shiva with Parvati to procreate their progenies. With the effort of gods and the stringent penance of Parvati, Shiva got ready to get married with Parvati. Hence Shiva became from ascetic to householder, from Shiva to Shankar. Kartikeyan took birth as a son of Shiva and Parvati. He had unrivaled vigor, brawn and valiant. He became the chief of Indra`s army and killed Taraksura.

Ganesha, the son of Shiva and Parvati, has an unrivalled brain, wisdom and intelligence. He has capacity to lead the Gana, he is Prathamesh. Laxmi and Saraswati are the daughters of the couple. Laxmi is the embodiment of wealth and prosperity, and Saraswati is the embodiment of knowledge. These are the four strong pillars everyone desires to have to lead a complete and fearless life. Kartikeyan with his unparallel brawn provide the invincible security, Ganesha`s brain provides the wisdom to guide into the right direction and remove any obstacle on the way. Saraswati provides the knowledge and purity of the tongue to have control over the speech. Laxmi provide the abundance of the wealth and richness to prosper and help others who are less fortune. No one returns empty handed from lord Shiva`s door. These four qualities emanates from Him. Initially, he was not ready to indulge Himself in the household, the worldly life. But once He became Shankar(Householder), He created a complete family. He Himself is complete; only the complete one has the capacity to create the complete.
