Knowledge Seeker's video: Who is the father of Lord Shiva

Lord Shiva is considered Anaadi. The literal meaning of this world is without a beginning or a starting point. Now, when Lord Shiva is Annadi, he can't have a birth, which we in normal terms call as the start of a life. He is beyond birth and death. Once upon a time, a saint asked this question to Lord Shiva: "Who is your father, Lord?". Lord Shiva replied that Brahma is his father. Then the saint went on to ask who is your grandfather. Lord Shiva replied that Vishnu is my grandfather. The saint further queries as to who is the great-grandfather. Lord Shiva stuns him by saying that I am my great-grandfather. The story sounds like a ballad, however, because there is no origin point, it serves as a circle. And mathematically, in a circle, any point can be taken as a starting point. The whole incident signifies that there is no beginning and no end of Lord Shiva. Search Tags: Father Parent Lord Shiva Vishnu Brahma Holy Trinity Hinduism
