Markandeya was born to Sage Mrikandu and his wife Marudmati after many years of penance. However, he was destined to live only for 16 years. On the day of his 16th birthday, Yama, the god of death, came to take his soul. Markandeya, a devout worshiper of Lord Shiva, clung to a Shiva Lingam and prayed fervently. Moved by his devotion, Lord Shiva appeared and blessed him with eternal life, defeating Yama in the process. This story highlights the power of devotion and the grace of Lord Shiva.
At the time of creation, Brahama had not imagined that the world would soon overcowd with living beings. When he saw the condition of the world, Brahma got worried and sent Agni to burn everything down. Lord Shiva intervened and suggested a systematic way to keep population under control. That's when Brahma created death and Mrityu Devata to carry it out. Death is a mystery and coping with the death of a near and dear one is a challenge. Knowing that even the gods had to find solutions for overpopulation and death can make death less daunting and more understandable.
