Dear List, Namaste

 

Could someone re-produce the names of the 11 Rudra in their order, i couldn't find them in the archives, allthough they have been mentioned before.

 

Best wishes, Visti.

Aum Gurave Namah:

 

Dear Visti:

 

 

Here is the list of the eleventh rudras, but let me explain the Story

behind for the enjoyment of the list members.

 

From the furious eyebrow of Brahma a figure of ubearable radiance

like the mid-day sun came out. That figure was Rudra. Half of the

fierce body of that Rudra who was very fourious, was a woman and the

other half was a man. Brahma, sying, 'Divide Body', disappeared.

Instantly Rudra split himself into the figure of a man and the figure

of a woman. He again divided the body of the man into eleven parts.

these eleven figures are the eleven Rudras.

 

The names of the eleven Rudras are given differently in different

Puranas. In a text it is said that the eleven Rudaras are,

Manyu, Manu, Mahinasa, Mahan, Siva, Rtudhvaja, Ugraretas, Bhava,Kama,

Vamadeva and Dhrtavrata.. but According to some other Puranas, the

eleven rudras are:

 

Aja, Ekapada, Ahirbudhnya, Twasta, Rudra, Hara, Sambhu, Tryambaka,

Aparajita, Isana and Tribhuvana..

 

Brahma apportined to the eleven Rudras the eleven positions of the

heart, the five organs of senses and the organs of action and To

Rudra the eight positions of life, ether, air, fire, water, earth,

sun and the moon.

 

If you need the eleventh names of the woman portion please let me know

 

Hare Ram Krishna
