Bhole baba Avatars Shiva, like some other Hindu deities, is said to have several incarnations, known as Avatars. Although Puranic scriptures contain occasional references to avatars of Shiva, the idea is not universally accepted in Saivism.[163] • Virabhadra who was born when Shiva grabbed a lock of his matted hair and dashed it to the ground. Virabhadra then destroyed Dakshas yajna (fire sacrifice) and severed his head as per Shivas instructions.[164] • Bhairava, Bhairava (Sanskrit: भैरव, Terrible or Frightful,[1]), sometimes known as Bhairo or Bhairon or Bhairadya or Bheruji (In Rajasthan), is the fierce manifestation of Shiva associated with annihilation.[2] He is one of the most important deities of Rajasthan and Nepal, sacred to Hindus and Buddhists alike.When depicted as Kala Bhairava, Bhairava is shown carrying the decapitated head of Brahma. • Sharabha, Shaiva scriptures narrate that god Shiva assumed the Avatar (incarnation) of Sharabha to tame Narasimha - the fierce man-lion avatar of Vishnu worshipped by Vaishnava sect - into a normal pleasant form representing harmony. This form is popularly known as Sarabeshwara (Lord Sarabha) or Sharabeshwaramurti. In Buddhism, Sharabha appears in Jataka Tales as a previous birth of the Buddha. • Nataraja or Nataraj (Hindustani: [nət̪əˈraːdʒ]), The Lord (or King) of Dance in Barathanatyam; is a depiction of god Shiva as the cosmic dancer Koothan who performs his divine dance to destroy a weary universe and make preparations for god Brahma to start the process of creation. A Tamil concept, Shiva was first depicted as Nataraja in the famous Chola bronzes and sculptures of Chidambaram. The dance of Shiva in Tillai, the traditional name for Chidambaram, forms the motif for all the depictions of Shiva as Nataraja. He is also known as Sabesan which splits as Sabayil aadum eesan in Tamil which means The Lord who dances on the dais. The form is present in most Shiva temples in South India, and is the main deity in the famous temple at Chidambaram.[165] • Durvasa (दुर्वास in Devanagari or durvāsa in IAST, pronounced [d̪urʋɑːsɐ] in classical Sanskrit), or Durvasas, was an ancient sage, the son of Atri and Anasuya. He is supposed to be an incarnation of Shiva.[166][167][168][169][170] He is known for his short temper. Hence, wherever he went, he was received with great reverence from humans and Devas alike.[166] • Khandoba, a form of Shiva, mainly in the Deccan plateau of India, especially in the states of Maharashtra and Karnataka. He is the most popular family deity in Maharashtra. • Adi Shankara, the 8th-century philosopher of non-dualist VedantaAdvaita Vedanta, was named Shankara after Lord Shiva and is considered by some to have been an incarnation of Shiva.[171] • In the Hanuman Chalisa, Hanuman is identified as the eleventh avatar of Shiva, but this belief is not universal.[172] • It is believed that the Sai Baba of Shirdi, Maharashtra and Satya Sai Baba of Puttaparthi, Andhra Pradesh are the modern avatars of Lord Shiva. In Dasam Granth, second scripture of Sikhs, Guru Gobind Singh mentioned two Rudra Avtars[173]: • Dattatreya Avtar - The great Yogi who made 22 Gurus from whom he understand the depth of Dhyana. • Paras Nath Avtar - The great King who conquered all world but later got Ego which was broken by Matsyendranath.
