Can anyone give me more details on this story?

I have been looking for long but this is all I got anywhere. Anything appreciated. Links, book titles, places people I can talk to. It is urgent. Thanks.

Saraswati Saves the World from Shiva's Third Eye and the Beast of Doom

 

Shiva was woken from his meditations and looked around to discover a world on

the brink of corruption and being unsalvageable. Shiva decided it was time to

wipe the slate clean. Shiva, the destroyer, opened his world destroying third

eye attempting to destroy the three worlds.. Out came a terrible fire that

threatened all existence.

 

There was panic everywhere. Only Saraswati remained calm. "Shiva's fire burns

only that which is impure and corrupt."

 

She took the form of a river and with her pure waters picked up the dreaded fire

from Shiva's third eye. Within the folds of her water she carried the fire far

away from the earth to the bottom of the sea where it transformed into a fire

breathing mare called *Badavagni* – the beast of doom."So long as the world is

pure and man wise, this terrible creature will

remain on the bottom of the sea. When wisdom is abandoned and man corrupts the

world, *Badavagni *will emerge and destroy the universe," foretold the

wise goddess.

That doesn't mean anything. They don't view Ram or Krishna as God but as heroes and laymen. That is their perception of the story.

 

Why do you have a problem with that?

 

What do you know about Rama? Are you implying you are higher then a Jain because you think you know Rama? Get a life.

I agree. I personally never could understand why being a god is important. They did just fine as heroes. I think plain old men as role models do better.
