       LORD VAIDYANATH OF PARLI

God, the supreme wants His children to adhere to certain principles of discipline; develop a sense dedication and devotion even to the wrong causes; for, when the wisdom dawns, of course at the end, the transgressor, defaulter, openly confessing treads the righteous path, strewn with lilies and roses that certainly conveys him to the paradise of plenty of eternal beatitude. Sincerity pays, tenacity wins and dedication succeeds to their own boundless satisfaction. There are countless instances of God's unqualified appreciation of tenacity and sincerity. Doesn't showering of boons of demons for deep penance illustrate this? Although the instances are numerous and beneficiaries are countless, there is nothing that greets the mortal eyes standing in proof of gods rewarding the tenacity applied to wrong cause, or impudence persisted consistently. But the solitary temple of Vaidyanath at Parli, perhaps the only one that is perpetuating this truth. Here the Sivalinga bears on its head the marks of impiety perpetrated by one pious but perverted devotee, and the Lord prefers to be called after the name of that devotee, converted in the end.
