What is Virbhadrasana-3?

According to Hindu religious legend, Prajapati Daksha married his daughter Sati to Lord Shiva. Daksha later became angry with Shiva for several reasons. Daksha conducted a huge yajna but did not invite Shiva in it.

Angered by this insult of her husband, Sati jumped into the Yagna Kund of her father and consumed himself. On receiving information about Sati's self-immolation, Lord Shiva came to the sacrificial ground and became angry after seeing the body of Sati. They uprooted their Hair and threw it on the ground.

By tearing the earth from the jet, a great warrior and terrible warrior Virbhadra was born. The word Virabhadra is made up of two Sanskrit words. The first word 'Veer' means Bahadur (Hero) while the second word Bhadra means friend or friend.

Shiva ordered Veerabhadra to destroy Daksha and his yajna. Virbhadra not only destroyed the yajna but also beheaded Daksha. Later Shiva was pleased and made Veerabhadra his gate and the gatekeeper of Kailash.

According to the mythology of Hinduism, Virabhadrasana is considered to be based on Virabhadra, this support is also found in the mythology of Tibet and Nepal. The idols bearing the pose of Virabhadrasana are also worshiped in the villages of the Himalayan foothills as a folk god.
