Dear Friends,
I heard a story wherein Lord Shiva seemed to have plucked the 5th head
of Brahma and the kapala (skull) stuck to his hand. He was roaming
around with the Kapala which later disappeared after Lakshmi poured
some grain into the Brahma-Kapala. Can anyone
shed more light into this story ? . When and where did Brahma get his
fifth head ?
This, I believe may be linked with the sthala puranam of the famous
kapaleeshwarar temple of Mylapore, wherein after the episode described
above , Lord Shiva decided to grace the place as "Kapaleeshwarar".
Mylapore Vaasis ...?
dasan,
-Sriram,Balaraman
