Once upon a time, high in the skies, there were three big, shining cities, floating around, created by a powerful demon king named Tripurasura. These cities were so bright that they sparkled like stars!
Kids, imagine a city that flies in the sky, glowing like a giant diamond! Isn’t that cool?
Now, Tripurasura thought he was the strongest and the most powerful in the world...arrogant much. He had magic that no one could break, and he felt invincible! He was so proud that he began to say, “No one can stop me! Not even the mighty gods!”
But there was someone much stronger than him... Lord Shiva! He wasn’t just any god. He was a superhero with magical powers, and his heart was full of love for his devotees. Shiva's power was beyond imagination! Do you know what he could do? He could dance and shake the world, and with his third eye, he could destroy anything bad with just one glance! Isn’t that awesome?
One day, Tripurasura got tired of his own boasting and sent his warriors to challenge Lord Shiva. He said, “Shiva, let’s see if you can stop me now! I will show you my power!”
When Lord Shiva heard this, he smiled because he knew Tripurasura was strong, but not as strong as the love and power inside him.
The Magical Transformation
Now, when Lord Shiva decided it was time to act, something magical happened. Shiva closed his eyes, and in that moment, the sky turned dark. A huge cloud of light appeared, and Shiva's hair started to glow! Can you imagine his hair lighting up the whole sky, like a shining waterfall?
Shiva's third eye opened, and BOOM, everything around him started to shake! Thunder roared, and the stars twinkled brighter as Shiva lifted his mighty Trishula (trident), a magical weapon that could defeat anything bad. Can you picture Shiva holding his trident high, like a superhero about to save the world?
Tripurasura’s Trick
But Tripurasura wasn’t easy to defeat. His three floating cities moved so fast that no one could catch them! They moved in the sky, jumping from one place to another, like a game of hide-and-seek. It was tricky! But do you think Shiva would give up? Of course not!
Lord Shiva thought for a moment, and suddenly, a golden bow appeared in his hands, glowing like the sun. The bow was magical, it could hit anything in the world, no matter how far it was. Shiva pulled the bowstring, and with one powerful arrow, he shot it right at the three cities.
Whoosh!
The arrow zoomed through the sky faster than lightning! The three floating cities tried to run away, but the arrow found them, just like a superhero’s laser beam following its target. Boom! Boom! Boom! The cities shattered into pieces, falling down like magic stars.
Question Time! How do you think it would feel if a shiny star exploded into sparkling pieces in the sky? Would it be bright or dark?
Tripurasura’s Shock
Tripurasura saw everything happening, and he was shocked! “What? How could this happen?” he cried out. But Shiva, with his big heart, said, “Tripurasura, your power was only a show. The true power is in love and humility, not in being proud.”
Even though Lord Shiva had won, he wasn’t angry. He didn’t destroy Tripurasura. Instead, he gave the demon king a chance to be better. He said, “You can be strong, but only if you are kind and humble. Change your ways, and the world will be better.”
Do you think Tripurasura learned his lesson? Yes, he did! From that day, he decided to become a better being, one who would help others and be kind-hearted.
Moral of the Story:
This story shows us that true strength comes from kindness, and the best heroes are those who help others, not those who are proud or hurtful. Lord Shiva teaches us that power should always be used with love, and that when we learn to be humble, we can be the best versions of ourselves.
