43. KAALARI MOORTHY

          The Divine Yama is the authority for committing the ends to any life on the earth.  On particular time, the death will come and yama will be taking away the life of living being by either sick or accident.  When the births are occurring in one side the deaths are bound to occur on the other end.  This is the specific job allotted to the divine Yama.  It is his duty also.

           Lord Shiva in an attempt to save his devotee Markandeya, considered yama as enemy and met him with a war and killed Yama.

           This act, is being well manifested in the idol of ‘Kaalari Moorthy’.

            Devotees when they worship the Lord they should note the theme of the action.  This incidence is connected to safeguarding the life of Markandeya.  In human life, the sicknes accident, old age and hospitalization are all common.  The relevant cure and remedy are in the hands of doctors.  The problem of life giving nature links to the attempt of Doctors.  So it is beneficial to the profession-oriented doctors.  This will be spiritual guidance for their Profession.
