Arjuna is a great warrior in Mahabharat. He is one of the five brothers of Panja Pandava . Arjuna is a great friend of Lord Krishna. Lord Krishna is of course an avatar of the great lord of Maha Vishnu.
Arjuna was in a previous birth a close associate with Lord Krishna and they both have this bond with each other.
Krishna is a great manipulator of events but it always to give the just cause a chance to win. Krishna knew that Dhuriyothana the leader of the Gowrava`s and the eldest son of king Dhrutharastrishan will be leading his country in the path of destruction. By default it was King pandu`s eldest son Dharmawho should have been the rightful aire to the throne.
Krishna has always on the side of Pandava`s whenever they need him. But each of the Pandav`s had a great bhoon that was second to none. And Arjuna was the greatest champion in the war using bow and arrow. There was no one in the world could be equal to him except Karna.
One day Lord Krishna and Prince Arjuna was talking and Arjuna was asking Krishna if he could visit mount Kailash and prey to Lord Shiva in person. Krishna said why not get some fresh flowers and they both can go to mount Kailash and pray to Lord Shiva.
So prince Arjuna collect plenty of fresh flowers and both of them going towards mount Kaillash.
They reached mount kailash and was walking towards the place where lord Shiva was meditating. On the way they both lord Shivas devotees and the helpers who live in Kailash " Pootha kanagkal" was very busily carrying baskets full of flowers that were devoted to Lord Shiva after they were used to worship lord Shiva. And amazed with the amount of flowers that were returning from lord Shiva`s worship Arjuna asks Krishna " Krishna who would have been the person who devoted all these flowers to Lord Shiva? " with a smile Krishna replies " he is someone you know quiet well" " is it my brother Dharma ?" Krishna said again with a smile "No" Arjuna asks again " is it Sahadevan?" , No is the answer again
and he said " It was your brother Bheema " again with a smile. " Bheema?" Arjuna asked in amazement as he would have been the last person that he would have imagined devoting flowers to Lord Shiva.
Krishna carried on saying " When you five were living in hiding when ever Bheema saw any big flower gardens he would pray with in himself and say let all these flowers be devoted to Shiva " and since that time all flowers that he came across are being devoted to Lord Shiva.
At that point Arjuna realised it is only in your mind with pure thoughts you need to worship lord Shiva with and there is no need to make personal visit to see Lord Shiva in Person. Lord Krishna and Prince Arjuna both worshiped Lord Shiva and returned.
