Can you give me where exactly this story appears ? There are tons of
"Karna paramapara " stuff with no basis of any sort floating
around. I have heard your story from other sources but no one was able
to tell me which scripture contains it. For all practical purposes,
the response from Ramakrishnan seems to be appealing and convincing.
To substantiate Ramakrishnan's, the saint Appar in his Devaaram prays
to Lord Siva as the Pancha Bootha, the Flesh, the soul, the presence
and the absence, the king, "Vaanagi Mannagi Valiyaagi Oliyaagi......".
The one with no form can be worshipped in any form. The same theory is
substantiated by Thaayumanavar also.
