Lilas of the Sons of Shiva
Legends of Lords Ganesh, Subramainam, and Ayyappan
In this book, Vanamall has given us a
fascinating glimpse into the Illas of the three
sons of Shiva. This is a captivating book for
all those who are interested in knowing the
esoteric secrets of Hindu gods.
Shiva and his sons are all aspects of the
great electromagnetic forces that control
life. Shiva is the source of all energies. He is
the nuclear energy underlying the
subatomic particles. At the very core of
matter Shiva whirls in his cosmic dance as
Nataraj'a. Ganesha is the god of gravity
which is the base of all ordinary existence.
Kartikeya is the power of the electro-
magnetic field. His spear signifies the
elemental forces of thunder and lightning.
Ayyappa is the force of love as the supreme
power which is capable of uniting
humanity.
Ganesha symbolises the idea of the
emergence of life from earth and the
unfolding of consciousness from matter.
His dual form of animal and human
indicates a sublime theme, which points
out to us that we too can aspire to a
supramental level even though we have
evolved from the animal. The stories of
Ganesha, Kartikeya and Shasta are all part
of Puranic literature and they cater to the
multifaceted intellect of the human being
who craves for different expressions of the
godhead.
