According to the Indian scriptures, once there was a demon known as Andhakasura. Due to his evil deeds Lord Shiva, who is regarded as the greatest of all Gods, was asked to help and exterminate the demon. During the event, drops of sweat from the forehead of Lord Shiva fell on earth. As these drops touched the earth’s surface, a thirsty creature was formed. Right after his formation, his thirst leads him to drink all the blood of Andhakasura. But still, he could not satisfy his thirst. He then started meditating and chanting the name of Lord Shiva and finally achieved success after years of meditation; Lord Shiva got pleased by him and asked him to ask for a wish. The creature asked Lord Shiva to grant him to swallow all three regions of the universe. All the scared gods come up with a plan and turn him into a statue. The creature was facing downwards. It is believed that the Gods permanently started living inside him, on the organs where the Gods were touching him. Because God resided in him, he got the name Vaastu Purusha.
