  • PIN Comes Through Curved Bow Micro Drilling Krishnapuram

    The technology the ancient Indians have adopted to build temples makes one wonder whether they were more advanced or we are!I

    I am inclined to vote for the former.

    The archaeological evidence being unearthed about ancient ruins throughout the world clearly proves that the ancients were not primitive and less knowledgeable than we are.

    I have authentic information that our present rendering history of the world is distorted if not an out right lie.

    I shall be writing with evidence found from around the world that there was no Stone Age as described now at the periods suggested.

    I have written about the Temples of India , some of them over 5000 years old, which had used advanced modern technology and astronomy concepts.

    There is a temple at Krishnapuram, Tamil Nadu where astounding scuptures that

    are life size over five and a half feet,

    Nerves are seen in the human forms,

    All these sculptures were made from a single Granite stone,

    In one statue, a leg, extended into air is two and a half feet , it projects from the torso and this sculpture is also made of single stone.

    In the statue of Manmatha (God of Love) , a Bow of Sugar Cane, which is his weapon is found.

    The bow, with its curved structure stands about five feet tall.

    If one drops a Pin in the hole at the top of the bow, it comes out at the bottom!

    In the Statute of Rathi, consort of Manmatha, one can find her cheeks puffed up swallowing Thamboola!

    There are 42 such statutes in one hall alone.

    One of the pillars represents the story of the adventure of Bhimasena with Purushamrigam. To fulfill the ritual at an important yaga, Yudhishthira required the milk of Purushamrigam, a half-man, half-beast denizen of the forests, this creature is a devoted Shiva bhakta and Bhimasena achieved his purpose when it was in deep penance. But it’s highly developed mental faculties found out the desecration committed by Bhima and it gave an angry chase.

    Lord Krishna, without whom Pandavas would have been nothing, handed Bhima three stones, each of which was cast by him one after another. At each stone, a Shiva shrine sprang up and consequently Purushamrigam, being a sensitive Shiva bhakta, paused to offer worship to Lord Shiva and was consequently delayed in the pursuit of Bhima.

    In spite of these efforts, the Pandava prince was captured when, with one foot already out of the forest, he was about to reach civilization again. Bhima could not escape the powerful grip of Purushamrigam and they both entered into an argument of jurisdiction and Purushamrigam, oddly enough consented to an arbitration of the dispute by Yudhishthira.

    The latter took the responsibility for the whole act, granted the creature’s right to act as it pleased in the forest region, and offered half his body in lieu of that part of Bhima’s which was within the jungle when he was caught. Deeply touched by the devotion of Yudhishthira to Dharma, Purushamrigam freed Bhima and changed its cannibal.

  • Benares Panchakrosha Yatra Details Kasi Khanda

    People generally think of Kasi, Varanasi, Benares as the place mainly meant for performing the Obesequies/ Sraddha for the ancestors.

    They perform Tharpana and Sraddha.

    There is another important religious Karma to be performed in Kasi/Varanasi.

    It it is the performance of Panchakrosha Yatra.

    Panchakrosha are the palces where Ishwara,Shiva is present in His full Glory and He rules over the city, its people, beings both living and non living.

    As a result people visiting these Kshetras are removed of their evil and negative thoughts and are ruled by Ishwara.

    This is one of the reasons why people are advised to perform Sradhdha in Varanasi as the Mind will be pure.

    Panchakroshi Temple,Kasi, one can visit if he can not complete the entire Panchakroshi yatra.
    Panchakroshi Temple,Kasi

    The Panchakrosha Kshetras are,

    Vishwanatha

    Omkareshwara

    Krttivaseshwara

    Kapardishwara and

    Madhyameshwara.

    There is also another list.

    1. Kardameshwara
    2. Bhimacandi
    3. Rameshwara
    4. Shivpur
    5. Kapiladhara

    Visiting these temples is called the Panchakrosha yatra,Varanasi.

    The trip starts after completing the initial prayers and doing the rituals at Kashi Vishvanath Mandir the journey starts. There are 108 temples along this path and the Dharmasalas adjacent to the temples offer minimal facilities to the tourists. The remains of the temples shows, the importance given by the kings and the former generations to this pilgrimage trip.

     

    Kandava-Nilakandeshwara Temple-this temple is associated with the story of churning the oceans by gods and demons and the blue-poison came, which had a very dangerous effect. In order to avoid trouble the poison was drunken by the Lord Shiv. Parvathi, wife of the Lord attempted to keep the poison not going down and the blue colour poison caused to change the colour.

     

    Kardameswara Temple is another point the pilgrims visit on their course of journey. It has many images on the wall like dancers, beasts and snakes. Shiv is also shown in the form of Natrajdancing figure. The images of Mahishasuramardini, Andhakasuramardini is also visible in the walls. The river tank is really attracts the attention of the visitors.

     

    After crossing Rajatalab the next place is Bhimachandi. Believed to be the strongest Goddess this temple is devoted to the Goddess Bhimachandi.

     

    Before reaching the next point Dehli Vinayaka is also covered by the pilgrims. This site is dates back to 6th 7th century. The guide told me that the original image is now in Bharat KalaBhavan Musuem.

     

    Rameshwara: Easily misunderstand as Rameshwaram in Tamil Nadu? This Rameshwaram is in the in Kashi and one of the most significant spots in your trip. It is said to be the Shivlinga was placed and worshipped by the Lord Rama after killing Ravana, in order to avoid the sin. This is a replica of the original temple in Rameshwaram in Tamil Nadu. The full moon day of Karthika, large number of pilgrims flock to this temple. The Sadhus praying with their rudraksh, chanting mantras are a common scene here.

     

    The walk through Shivpur takes you top the thickly populated route and the route leads to Kapiladhara. The temple and the pool are associated with the Grand Epic Mahabharata. The site is very near to the Ganges. Usually the pilgrims take a lounge from here to the Manikarnika Ghat and the journey ends at Jnanvapi temple where you have started the journey.

    There are Panchakrosha Sthalams near Kumbakonam, Tamil Nadu, Thirunelveli, Tamil Nadu  and Ujjain.
