The Hindu side claims that the ancient Harihar temple was destroyed by Mughal Emperor Babur and a mosque was built here. Let us tell you that at present the Shahi Jama Masjid of Sambhal is a protected monument. But do you know who is Lord Harihar and to resolve which dispute did God take this incarnation? Let us know-
Who is Lord Harihara?
Harihar is the integration of Lord Vishnu and Lord Shiva. Actually, in Hindu religion, Hari means Lord Vishnu and Har means Shiva. That means Harihar is the form of Lord Vishnu and Lord Shiva. In this form, Lord Shiva and Vishnu are seen in half form in the same body.
Even after the unification of Shiva and Vishnu, Harihar form is worshiped for different qualities. Because while Shiva is called the god of destruction, Vishnu is the sustainer of the universe. This means that both destruction and preservation of the universe is necessary.
Why did Shiva-Vishnu take Harihara Avatar (Harihara Avatar Story in Hindi)
Lord Shiva and Lord Vishnu took Harihar incarnation. But do you know what was the dispute to resolve which Lord had to take Harihar incarnation? According to the mythology related to this relationship, Shiva-Vishnu had to take this incarnation to resolve the dispute between Shaiva and Vaishnav.
Actually, those who worship Shiva are called Shaivites and those who worship Vishnu are called Vaishnavs. Astrologer Anish Vyas tells that, according to the legend, once a dispute broke out between Shaivites and Vaishnavas over who was superior between Lord Shiva and Lord Vishnu. Both of them started declaring their respective gods as the best. Then everyone went to Shiva to resolve the dispute.
God said that this type of dispute should not happen and to resolve this dispute between Shaiva-Vaishnav, he took the incarnation of Harihar. In this incarnation, half of the body was Lord Shiva and the other half was Lord Vishnu. After this, the devotees also accepted that there should not be any dispute about Hari and Har, because both are superpowers.
