#Thread LEGEND OF BHAGWAN SHIVA AND VASUKI
During the churning of the ocean of milk, Vasuki the son of Sage Kashyapa and Kadru consumed the deadliest poison that emerged out of the ocean. Due to the excessive churning process, Vasukiโs body was injured all over and he was distressed.
He surrendered to Prabhu Shiva and fell at His feet. Vasuki said the following
"O Prabhu! O the leader of gods, the intense Churning of Milk Ocean strained my body, leaving it hot and injured.
"O Prabhu! O the leader of gods, the intense Churning of Milk Ocean strained my body, leaving it hot and injured.
I somehow became intolerant and lost all of my Yogic strengths and emitted the venom I had preserved for millions of years. I transgressed self-control of the entire Yoga Naga Kula clan. Why did this happen, my Prabhu? Please enlighten me."
On which Prabhu Shiva smiled with love and compassion and said: โWhen you were chosen from the rest as a rope in the Churning, you were unaware of ego taking over you making you think โThey have chosen me. I must be special and greatโ.
However you have already been punished by the bruises all over your body. Do not fear. You will be called once again by the gods and the demons to churn the Ocean until amrita comes out. The fragrance of amrita will energize you and restore your yogic strengthsโ.
As said by the Supreme Prabhu Shiva, the serpent king Vasuki received all his strength and powers after the Amrita (Elixir) was churned out and from that moment onwards he became the most ardent devotee of Prabhu Shiva and was humbled when Prabhu Shiva placed him around His neck.
