He was a hunter and made living by killing and selling birds and animals. One night, he was trapped in the forest and was unable to return home. He climbed a ‘bael’ tree and hung the dead deer there . He was hungry and thirsty, and at the same time weeping for his wife and children at home who were also starving and waiting for his return. In order to pass the time, he started plucking the ‘bael’ leaves and dropping them on the ground.[/size] [size=4]He returned home the next day and sold the deer and brought food for his family. As he was going to break his fast, a beggar asks for a food. he realized that a beggar . He served the food to the stranger and later had his food.[/size] [size=4]During his death, two messengers of Shiva came to take his soul to the abode of Lord Shiva. They told him that he had earned the merit due to his unconscious worship of the Lord Shiva at the night of the Maha Shivaratri. He got to know that the leaves he dropped fell on the lingam and his tears washed the lingam. He unconsciously fasted all that day and night. This led to his unconscious worship of the Lord and he enjoyed the divine bliss at the Abode of the Lord for many ages and was reborn as Chitrabhanu. one[/size]

Kannappa real name is Tinnan who resited in kalahasthi ,near swarna mukhi river with a bunch of hunters. He was a succesful hunter and married . His wife is a shiva diety but he doesn’t believe in God. One day he chased a boar and missed it. and was hungry whole day and on night Thinnan saw a rock in the slope of a mountain and it happened to be shiva Lingam. He was overwhelmed. He also saw some leaves and flowers on the rock but to him the ‘the Lord’ seemed to be not looked after properly. [/size] [size=4]He immediately brings roasted meat ,some wild flowers and since his two hands were now full, he took a mouthful of water from the river, and came back to the Shiva Lingam. He spit the water from his mouth on to the Shiva Lingam as if to clean, and offers the roasted meat and the wild flowers on to the Lingam and lovingly requested the Lord to take them. He felt profound joy and happiness and slept peacefully, resolving that he will again ‘treat’ the Lord next night with more love and sincerity. [/size] [size=4]Next day, the traditional priest (Shiva-Koachariar), who daily worships the Lord, came to the Shiva Lingam, with pure water, Bilva leaves and flowers, noticed the apparent desecration, and noticed the meat pieces and blood stains on the Sacred Symbol. He was at a loss. He cleaned again and again the sacred Shiva Lingam, chanting Vedic mantra, did proper abhishekam and preyed to the Lord for forgiveness. He stayed there till nightfall and returned backs and at night Thinnan returns and repeat the same offered meat pieces and poured water from his mouth danced around the Lord, and returned happily. [/size] [size=4]Next day morning, the priest noticed and was very sad and upset. He begged for fogivenes and did puja in a sacred way and returns back fearing of wild animals. After several days passed he learned that someone was offering all this and wanted to know him and give punishment . He prayed the Lord sincerly and in the dream lord shiva informed about the hunter and wants to show his true worship . The priest stayed till mid night near the Shiva lingam to see what the ignorant hunter will be doing hiding in the bushes with Lord shiva stood by him. [/size] [size=4]Soon thinnan came and cleaned all the flowers, Bilwa leaves and fruits near the Sacred Lingam, Thinnan went to the river took mouthful of water and poured on the Lingam, put meat pieces and started running around the Sacred lingam in Joy as was his routine ever since he happened to see his beloved Lord. [/size] [size=4]The Lord pointed out to the priest that Thinnan was a hunter, with his limited knowledge he is doing the worship in total sincerity and full love this is real worship. The priest could see the dedication and the sincerity of purpose. He felt ashamed and doubted his own sincerity. Now after Thinnan, finishing his worship, was ready to leave the place Lord told the Priest to watch carefully, and wanted to show further the sincerity of the hunter. By Maya, the Lord forced blood streaks from the right eye of the Lingam. Thinnan noticed it and was shocked to see the Lord suffering. He immediately took his right eye and applied to the bleeding site. Suddenly the bleeding stopped. The one eyed Thinnan was happy and ecstatic. His happiness knew no bounds. Suddenly he saw the left eye of the Lingam also bleeding. [/size] [size=4]He now knows the exact medicine for treatment. So he measured the distance from him to the Shiva Lingam using his foot, since he knew, when he take out his remaining eye, he will be totally blind, therefore he has to be sure of the place to put the eye in the right place, and then unflinchingly took a spear to take his remaining eye to treat the Lord. He did not care for his eyes, his life or anything. He wanted his Lord to get well and happy. The priest was totally amazed and stunned. As Thinnan was attempting to take his remaining eye Lord Shiva appeared in front of Thinnan blessed him and gave back his two eyes, called him affectionately” Kannappa” (stands for the Eye). Kannappa was blessed and given a place on the right side of the Lord, and thus attained Moksha. He is adored as one of many Shiva Bhakthas.[/size]

In the full figure of Siva the male and female principles are united. Shiva Linga - the symbol of Lord Shiva which consists of both Lingam (phallus) and yoni (the female organ) represent the totality of his nature and the totality of all created existence. [u][b]Appearance and Attributes of Lord Shiva[/b][/u] Lord Shiva is shown either in meditating or in the form of a Dancing God Nataraj where his dance is to the beat and rhythm of creation. He is also shown in sculptures with many hands. One pair of hands, for example, represents the balance between life and death. Shiva is 'tri netra' or three eyed, and is 'neela kantha' - blue-necked (having consumed poison to save the world from destruction). Besides, there are a lot many attributes associated with Lord Shiva. Here is a brief description of some of the important symbols that depict Lord Shiva. Each of his depiction signifies a different aspect of his Supreme Being. [b]Unclad body covered with ashes[/b]: This form of Lord Shiva depicts that Lord Shiva’s presence is much higher than this physical phenomenon. According to some scholars, Shiva’s body smeared with cemetry ash points to the philosophy of the life and death and the fact that death is the ultimate reality of the life. [b]Jata (Matted Hair):[/b] The flow of his matted hair represents Shiva as the Lord of Wind or Vayu, who is the subtle form of breath present in all living beings. Thus it is Shiva which is the lifeline for all living being. He is Pashupatinath. [b]Sacred Ganga:[/b] The holiest of the holy rivers, Ganga flows from the matted hair of Shiva. According to a legend. Shiva allowed an outlet to the great river to traverse the earth and bring purifying water to human being. Ganga also denotes fertility - one of the creative aspects of the Rudra. [b]The Third Eye:[/b] Lord Shiva is known as the three eyed Lord or Tryambaka Deva. The sun is his right eye, the moon left while the third eye of Shiva on his forehead is the eye of wisdom. It is the eye that looks beyond the obvious. The third eye can search evil from anywhere and destroys it completely. [b]Half-Open Eyes:[/b] The half-open eyes show that the universes cycle in process. When the eyes are completely closed it signifies the dissolvent of the universe and when it is completely open a new cycle of creation begins. [b]Crescent[/b]: Shiva bears on his head the crescent of the panchami (fifth day) moon. This is placed near the fiery third eye and this shows the power of Soma, the sacrificial offering, which is the representative of moon. It means that Shiva possesses the power of procreation along with the power of destruction. The moon is also a measure of time, thus Crescent also represent his control over time. [b]The Cobra Necklace[/b]: This suggests that Shiva is beyond the powers of death and is often the sole support in case of distress. He swallowed the poison kalketu for the wellbeing of the Universe. The deadly cobra represents that “death” aspect that Shiva has thoroughly conquered. The cobras around his neck also represent the dormant energy, called Kundalini, the serpent power. The snake curled three times around the neck of Lord Shiva depicts the past, present and future time. The snake looking in the right direction of Lord Shiva signifies that the Lord's perpetual laws of reason and justice preserve natural order in the universe. [b]The Vibhuti: [/b]Vibhuti is a three line of ashes drawn on the forehead that signifies the Immortality of the soul and manifested glory of the Lord. [b]Tiger Skin[/b]: Lord Shiva is shown sitting on or wearing a tiger skin. The tiger is the vehicle of Shakti, the Goddess of power and force. Shiva is beyond and above any kind of force. He is the master of Shakti. The tiger skin that he wears symbolizes victory over every force. Tiger also represent lust. Thus sitting on Tiger skin, Shiva indicates that he has conquered lust. [b]The Elephant & Deer Skin: [/b]Shiva also wears elephant skins. Elephants represent pride. Wearing elephant skin, Shiva indicates that he has conquered pride. Similarly deer represent the flickering mind. Shiva wears deer skin which indicates that he has controlled the mind perfectly. [b]Rudraksha Necklace[/b]: ‘Rudra’ is the other name of SHIVA. It also means strict or uncompromising and ‘aksha’ means eye. Rudraksha, the necklace worn by Lord Shiva shows that he is firm about his cosmic laws and to maintain law and order in the universe. The necklace has 108 beads, which symbolize the elements used in the creation of the world. [b]Damaru (Drum): [/b]A small drum with two sides alienated from each other by a thin neck-like structure represents the two utterly different states of existence, unclear and clear. When a damaru is shaken, the sound formed denotes Nada, the cosmic sound of AUM, which can be heard during deep meditation. [b]Trishul (Trident): [/b]A three-branched trident shown adjoining to Lord Shiva symbolizes His three fundamental powers will, action and knowledge. As a weapon the trident represents the instrument of punishment to the evil doer on all the three planes - spiritual, subtle and physical. [b]Nandi, the Bull: [/b]Nandi is said to be the vehicle of Lord Shiva. The bull represents both power and ignorance. Lord Shiva's use of the bull as his vehicle expresses the idea that He removes ignorance and bequeaths power of wisdom on His followers.
