One of those 64 art forms is Kaam Kala (meaning the art of Sex). Lord Shiva Himself is worshiped in the Form of Linga (The Penis). The scriptures tell that when Lord Shiva was seduced by the Mohini role adapted by Lord Vishnu, the ejaculated sperm formed into Gold. The birth of Lord Shastha was the effect of an intercourse between Lord Shiva and Mohini (probably a SheMale). The worshipers of Lord Shiva, Lord Vishnu and Lord Shastha, are they aware of these or what? or are they worshiping just for the sake of a show off? Can people ever Imagine that God is totally Unrestricted?

nut case, search for the origin of Gold in Hindu Scritures, and regarding celebacy, if you view that, Hindu Scriptures just one of those ways. There are Gods that are non celeb also in Hindu scriptures... let me add, i have also read of Devas going after the wives of others. the point i was trying to bring in was that Godhood according to Hindu Scriptures is probabably a totally unrestricted Being capable of doing or not doing anything ... why should we try hard to paint them restricted according to our limited visions ...

dear Parsu, you may check the following link. http://answers.yahoo.com/question/index;_ylt=As_cpOlSno0yDqnk654D2ivsy6IX?qid=20060715044052AArpdUt
that question is not put up by jk, probably people of South India are more aware of Lord Dharma Shastha of Sabari Mala (Sabari Hill) in Kerala State than people in North India. while surfing thru a few answers, jk incidently found this link.

Lord Shiva is the most expert living Entity after Supreme God. Hence for him to be expert in all arts is natural. In material world if we hear that one is expert in Sex we would think that he must be very lusty. But Lord Shiva is exactly the opposite. When one achieves opulence by proper service of God, God also gives the strength to control that opulence. Just like Devotee of Lord may be very rich person and still be fully renounced and not at all willing to enjoy even a drop of his richness, but to use it in Service of God. Similarly though Lord Shiva is Expert in art of Sex, he is also expert in art of Controlling sex desire. Shiva Linga is hence worshiped both for getting proper Children and also for getting strength to control Sex desire. Sex used properly to beget God conscious children is appreciated. Such Parent that begets great sages are even more praised.
Story of Bewilderment of Lord Siva by Mohini Murit, is an exception case where Siva is bewildered and thus harassed by Visnu or God himself.
I have not heard of “Lord Shastha”. Srimad Bhagavatam mentions of Lord Shiva discharging and formation of Gold and Silver mines but does not mention about any progeny. Please state its mention in Scriptures to verify the authenticity of the claim.
Though Lord Siva is Perfect, just next below God, still in Bhagavad Gita, only the worship of Supreme Lord is recommended. This episode of bewilderment of Lord Siva has a special Lesson.
Srila Viswanath Cakravarti Thakur remarks that Mohini-murti dragged Lord Siva to so many places, especially to where the great sages lived, to instruct the sages that their Lord Siva had become mad for a beautiful woman. Thus although they were all great sages and saintly persons, they should not think themselves free, but should remain extremely cautious about beautiful women. No one should think himself liberated in the presence of a beautiful woman.
Lord Siva is above ignorance and lust. Hence Acharyas have explained that he was specially maddened by the will of Supreme God himself. This episode also shows to those who claim Lord Siva to be equal to God, that even Lord Siva is below Visnu.
It is further mentioned that
“Although Lord Shiva was aghast at the potency of Lord Visnu, he did not feel ashamed. Rather, he was proud to be defeated by Lord Visnu. Nothing is hidden from the Supreme Personality of Godhead, for He is in everyone’s heart. Indeed, the Lord says in Bhagavad-gita (15.15), “I am seated in everyone’s heart, and from Me come remembrance, knowledge and forgetfulness.” Whatever happened had taken place under the direction of the Supreme Personality of Godhead, and therefore there was no cause to be sorry or ashamed. Although Lord Shiva is never defeated by anyone, when defeated by Lord Visnu he felt proud that he had such an exalted and powerful master.”
Though Lord Shiva is master in controlling Sex desire, still when Supreme Lord Visnu (God) himself wanted him to get bewildered to teach others, Lord Siva could do nothing.
Please Read more details of this wonderful pastime of the lord, In Srimad Bhagavatam Canto 8 Chapter 12.

This is a very sacred question which shows the importance of Tapasya and meditation(Dyan) even for Shiva and Vishnu. Did you ever read about BhrigaKeeta Nyaya. When a Bhringa takes an insect inside its hole,it comes out having become a Bhringa because he keeps thinking about Bhringa and becomes like him. In the same way,lord Shiva worships and thinks of lord Vishnu in his Tapasya that is why he has got the SttvaGuna of lord Vishnu and lord Vishnu worships and thinks of lord Shiva and gets the Tamoguna of lord Shiva.This is how Shiv has become Vishnu and Vishnu has become Shiva.This shows the eternal Bhakti,love and CONNECTION between Shiva and Vishnu, there is no difference between them and also the importance of Tapasya that can enable even a man to become a power like Shiva and Vishnu.

Your information is not correct to begin with. The Linga is not a 'penis' and there was no intercourse. And as for the sperm of Lord Shiva, it was carried by the wind God and placed in Anjani, which gave birth to Lord Hanuman.
You should not accept everything you read as truth until you study the phylosophy and meaning of it.

There are numerous people who would make fun of the possibility of changing their destinies. This is due to the fact that it believes that no one gets more that what is put in his fate.

one thing above all: aryan culture is the most open culture in the world and hinduism is the ultimate truth of life.
hinduism began with the beginning of mankind and will end with the end of mankind.
no more questions required.
