Harihara

 

I

ndra once went to differen lokas to ask the most powerful because if he worships him/her he would become king of swarga (heaven ) forever.Some said it was Vishnu (Hari)  and some said it was Shiva(Hara). So Indra asked brahma who is more powerful Vishnu or Shiva. Bramha   wanted them to stop differentiating between Hari and Hara .  So , bramha asked Indra to create a misunderstanding between Hari and Hara. The misunderstanding was Garuda   was asked by Vishnu to kill the snake devotee of Shiva . Shiva had to battle Garuda to save his devotee. But Garuda is a bird devotee of   Vishnu.  So   this eventually led a fight between Hari and Hara. At last when Hari summoned his powerful discuss and shiva opened his third eye . Then brahma interfered and told that Indra was behind this misunderstanding . Shiva who was furious to know Indra was the one summoning Garuda . He cursed Indra that anyone who would enter Swargalok and fight with Indra would be defeated. Indra begged Shiva forgiveness   Shiva blessed him that he will be defeated but could take help from other devas to defeat his enemies. Adi Parashakti appears and asks Vishnu and Shiva to join as one to prove no difference between Hari and Hara . Thus , the name of Half shiva and half Vishnu was known harihara

 Have you tried dropping a steel bolt in a bucket of water ? If no, so here is what happens. The moment the bolt hits the surface of the water, it begins to sink. Well then in that case how do steel ships that are far larger than a little bolt stay afloat on the sea? This depends on the density on the object in the water. should the density of the object be more than that of water, it is bound to sink. However if the density of the object be lesser than that of water, the object will stay afloat. in the case of  a ship, the density of the vessel is lesser than the density of the water. while the opposite is true in the case of a bolt. Now you know the secret of the sinking  bolt and floating ship.
