Andhakaasura \u2013 soodanaha: Andhaka - Blind Demon Soodhanaha - Destroyer or killer.
Once Goddess Parvati playfully closed the 3 eyes of Lord Shiva with her hands. As the Lord's eyes were sun, the moon and the fire, the worlds became entirely dark for a few seconds. A blind
demon was born from the darkness created. He came to be known as the Son of Parvati and Shiva. Mother Parvati was filled with motherly love for that demon.
Demon King Hiranyaksha pleased Lord Shiva and sought a child since he did not have any heir and Hiranyakashipu had 5 children. So Lord Shiva gave Andhaka to him. Hiranyakashipu became arrogant soon after. Lord Vishnu took Varaha Avatar and killed him. He appointed Andhaka as the demon king. But Andhaka was blind and weak. So his cousins kept making fun of him. So he
quietly slipped into the forest and did penance. Please with his
penance, Brahmaji manifested. Andhaka asked that he should be powerful, Lord the 3 worlds and immortal. Brahmaji gave him the first two but the third one he could not because what is born has to
die. So Andhaka asked that he should die only if he has any bad intentions towards any woman. Brahmaji also blessed him to be young, strong and gave him his vision. Andhaka became mighty
and conquered the three worlds. Once he and his ministers had gone to Mount Mandara and there they saw a beautiful woman(Goddess Parvati) and a Yogi(Lord Shiva). They told the yogi to send this woman to their Master Andhaka. Yogi refused.
Andhaka attacks the Yogi.
