Long ago, a good Brahmin named Vijay was living close to Sri Kalahasthi. He had qualities of an ascetic. He decided to devote all his time on worshipping the Lord. He obtained permission from his young wife to keep distance from her. He built a small hut close to the temple of Sri Kalahasthi and had a small garden around it. He meditated upon the lord with single minded devotion.
His undivided attention to the Lord, with the Lord’s name, Namasivaya, constantly on his lips, his innate ascetic nature all earned him the name Vijay (Victor). Pleased with Vijay’s bhakti, the Lord appeared before him, praised him for his devotion and granted him liberation.
The legend has it that he was liberated on a full moon day in the month of Sraavan.
Worshipping Sri Kalahastheeswara will remove our attachments and bondage to worldly desires.
