Facts from Scriptures-1 How Rudra Were Born Brahmaa started doing doing tap but he didn't like to be alone, so from his half body he created a woman. She could take any form she liked. Then he created 10 sons who became famous Prajaapati and Yogee. He created five women also - Lakshmee, Saadhyaa, Shubhlakshanaa, Vishweshaa, Devee (Vasu) and Saraswatee, besides ten Prajaapati. Brahmaa gave these women to Dharm. The woman who appeared from Brahmaa's half body could take any form she liked. She came to his presence in the form of Surabhi. He had physical relationship with her and produced 11 sons. They all ran around weeping. Because of weeping and running, all were called Rudra. Surabhi produced cows, Yagya and Devtaa also. Goats, swan and herbs and grains were also born from Surabhi. [Padm Puraan, p 134] Birth of Marut Gan Maruttwatee gave birth to Maruttwaan named Devtaa - they are 22 in number. Their names are - Agni, Chakshu, Jyoti, Saavitra, Mitra, Amar, Sharvrishti, Suvarsh, Mahaabhuj, Viraaj, Raaj, Vishwaasu, Sumati, Ashwagandh, Chitrarashmi, Nishadh, Aatmvidhi, Chaaritra, Paadmaatrag, Brihat, Brihdroop, Vishnusanaabhig. They all are called Maruttwatee's sons Marut Gan. If they are the Marut Gan then who were those Marut Gan, 49 in number, who were born to Kashyap and Diti? Remember Bhagavaan in any way. Insult, praise, respect, disrespect etc belong only to this physical body and this body's imagination is only body and this body is imagination only because of not knowing Prakriti and Purush properly. When we consider this body as our soul then we start thinking "This is me" and "This is mine", and this is the root of discrimination and this causes one feeling pain of abuse and teasing etc. But Bhagavaan does not have such pride as the people have, because He is the soul of everybody. Whatever punishment He gives to people, it is only for their welfare, not with jealousy or not because of anger, then how can we imagine that He will kill anybody. Therefore one should always think about Bhagavaan with any kind of feeling, whether it is with enmity, with jealousy, with devotion, with affection or with some desire. [Bhaagvat Puraan, 7/1] As according to Kaal (time), fruits appear, stay, grow, ripe, spoil and destroy on the tree, in the same way the human has also six states of his body - grow to death. [Bhaagvat Puraan, 7/3] Mool Prakriti, Mahat-Tattva, Ahankaar and Panch Tanmaatraa (eight elements) make up Prakriti. Prakriti has three Gun - Sat, Raj, and Tam. All the four Varn can worship Shaalgraam Jee but a woman, whether widow or Suhaagin, should never even touch the Shaalgraam stone. This destroys her Punya and makes her fall in Narak. [Padm Puraan, 4/4]
