The story of Vishnumaya part 2
Shiva told Vishnumaya, about the demon Jalandhar (*according to us Keralites , Vishnumaya killed Jalandhar*) , Vishnumaya Listened Keenly as Shiva told him about the Frightening Demon , who defeated the devas. Even Lord Indra couldn't Defeat . Shiva also revealed the Fact that , Vishnumaya was destined to Kill Jalandhar.
Shiva then told Vishnumaya that , he himself will teach him the Art of Kalari ( also known as the mother of Martial Arts) , and other celestial Astras.
The training went on for Days and Days..
And finally the Day they were waiting had Arrived...
The sun was red , the wind was blowing really Fast as VISHNUMAYA, reached the Battleground along with other Devas. And he Saw the Mighty Asur , Jalandhar.
Vishnumaya challenged Jalandhar for a Fight , which he accepted . Vishnumaya and Jalandhar, had a Fight....Which was soo extreme. Vishnumaya used his Kuruvadi ( a stick like weapon) , and Hit Jalandhar right on his head. Jalandhar Fell down...but it didn't do any harm to him. Jalandhar laughed maniacally. And started Insulting Vishnumaya's Adoptive Mother ~ Koolivaka.
Vishnumaya Became Really Furious as he didn't like anyone insulting his Mother. Vishnumaya closed his eyes and chanted some mantras. And he turned himself into the Most powerful Weapon of Lord Vishnu..The SUDARSHANA CHAKRA. And Cut off Jalandhar's Head.
The devas were Shocked on seeing this.
Jalandhar got Killed by Vishnumaya.
Vishnumaya was still In Anger. But Shiva calmed him Down.
Indradev , requested Vishnumaya to stay in the swargalok , but Vishnumaya refused, saying that He belonged to the Poors , And he need to stay on Earth , for his Devotees. All the Devas Blessed him To be immortal and strong. Bidding Farewell to his Parents, Vishnumaya went back to Earth. Where he truly Belonged .
Vishnumaya happily reached his house. And started calling for his mother to tell her about the experiences that he experienced in the Devlok. But he didn't get any Response. The house was silent, the forest was silent. When he entered inside his house...he got shocked. All the things were laying here and there. There were Nail marks in the Ground. Vishnumaya started Panicking , he started searching for his mother , everywhere..
Then he heard some Familiar Screams , Yes...it was his mother. Vishnumaya ran to the direction in which the screams came .
He then saw a scary sight , a demon was dragging his mother Mercilessly, and was laughing Maniacally. Vishnumaya Got Angry, he jumped with his Kuruvadi , and started Fighting with the Demon. The fight was so extreme that , Vishnumaya got Wounds all over his body. His blood was flowing down the Ground. And then Kuttichaathans ( Bhootas / Ghosts , or good spirits ) were born , They also started fighting with the Demon. And finally Killed him .
He healed Koolivaka using his powers. And said to his mother, that he need to go away to another place , in order to protect his devotees. Koolivaka was sad. Vishnumaya gave a hug to his mother, he consoled her.
Finally, Vishnumaya got on his mount Buffallo and left for the sake of his Devotees.
