A Shivlinga that is shattered by lightening every 12 years!

A truly surreal location, which can be reached by a 3 km trek, Bijli #Mahadev temple in #Kullu is a must visit for Shiv Bhakts. It is believed that once in 12 years, lightening strikes and shatters the Shivlinga which

The temples are the place where people worship the divine lord. The architecture of the temples is more than just a spiritual approach. A lot of science indulges in the construction of these Hindu temples. Hindu Temples are the place where science meets spirituality to attain

the highest knowledge to strive for eternity. Every single facet, the structure created is a science that affects the preachers. Temple architecture is a highly developed science. The Structure of the temple from the placement of pillars to the size of the idols everything built

with a lot of science. Our body is a temple. Our ancestors believed in this saying. Thus, the temple constructed has a figure of a human body. The pillars placed in the place of arms while the entrance of the temple placed as the feet of the temple.

The head is the place where the supreme figure of the idol rests. The Hindu temple comprises miniature of the five elements of the cosmos. The place perfectly holds positive energy around the people visiting them. The architecture helps visitors to indulge in meditation

effortlessly. The center of the temple floor is to let the positive energies flow through the people entering from their feet. Every aspect of a temple starting from the construction to the type of rituals followed and

According to Adhi Parva in Mahabharata, Guru Dronacharya (Drona means pot, Acharya means Scholar) was not born in a womb of a woman but he was born in a Drona, a pot made up of sand when Rishi Bhardwaj stored his semen in a pot and kept it in his ashram. After a while,

Dronacharya was born. That's why Drona has no mother in Mahabharat. This can be considered as a reference to a similar technique like the use of cloning, test-tube, or artificial womb used today in the modern world. Similarly, the test-tube technique can be stated on the birth

of Kauravas. Rishi Dwaipayan(Ved Vyasa) gave a boon to Gandhari that she would be blessed with 100 sons equal in might to her lord and accomplishments. Gandhari's pregnancy went on for two years without any sign of delivery. Hearing of the birth of five divine-looking sons of

Kunti, Gandhari became furious with her condition and hit her abdomen hard. Soon after, she delivered not even one son, but a hard lump of mass which horrified everyone. Gandhari went to Dwaipayana and complained about the lump of mass, and doubted the rishi's boon, to which

Dwaipayana affirmed he had never spoken a lie even in jest. He then asked Gandhari to cut the lump of mass into 100 pieces and place it in 100 different pots filled with clarified butter and wait. On Gandhari's request of a daughter, the pieces were cut into 101.

Some masterpieces have aspects that are hard to imagine. One such masterpiece is Brahadeswar. How did our ancestors manage to roll up a huge dome-like rock of heavy mass to the top of the temple? Is it even possible to defy the forces acting as angular momentum at higher

elevations? While looking at the temple's antiquity, and the great mass of the rock makes things quite unimaginable. It's hard to say that what sought of technology did they used to pull up such a stressful task with impeccable perfection. Brahadeswar temple dedicated to Bhagwan

Shiva is an architectural beauty of world-class and is an important UNESCO Heritage Monument Site located in Thanjavur city, #TamilNadu. It was built by the famous Chola king Sri Rajaraja 1000 plus years ago. It is the only temple with a 216 feet tall tower in the world entirely

made of hard rocks - granite and its related Igneous rocks of Archean group (3 billion-plus years old). The tall tower had a huge, beautifully carved dome with symmetrical images on all four sides, weighing about 80 tons. In addition to it, there are 4 pairs of huge stone Nandis

(bulls), facing different directions at all four corners. The various carved images and the Nandis on all four sides are mirror images of those on the other sides. They have perfect size, shape, and symmetry. This great feat, plus the placing of so huge a dome atop a 200 feet

Rishi Sushruta was a physician in ancient Bharat known today as the "Father of Indian Medicine" and "Father of Surgery" for inventing and developing surgical procedures. His work on the subject, the Sushruta Samhita is considered the oldest text in the world on plastic surgery

and is highly regarded as one of the Great Trilogy of Ayurvedic Medicine; the other two being the Charaka Samhita, which preceded it, and the Astanga Hridaya, which followed it. The Sushruta Samhita (works of Sushruta) is one of the most important surviving ancient treatises on

medicine and is considered a foundational text of Medicine. The treatise addresses all aspects of general medicine. The Sushruta Samhita mentions several surgical instruments that closely relate to the modern instruments used today to perform surgeries. The influential nature of

the Sushruta Samhita is supported not only by anatomical knowledge and surgical procedural descriptions contained within its pages but also by the creative approaches that still hold true today.

ANCIENT BHARAT WAS CALLED VISHWAGURU, AND IT REALLY DESERVED IT.

India had a well developed education system centuries before the westerners arrived and called us uncivilized. Education was always given a great importance in Indian civilisation since times immemorial.

Ancient India had the Gurukulas and Ashramas as the epicentres of the knowledge and enlightenment. Bigger Gurukulas served as the centres of higher education called universities. Besides these universities, temples also emerged as the major learning centres.

Studying the Holy Scriptures, character building, personality development, responsibilities towards self,family and society,discipline and preservation of the ancient culture and heritage were the key embodiments of education.

This kind of education system made ancient India, a centre of knowledge all over the world. Many foreign students came to India for education and India was called the 'Vishwaguru'.
Takshshila and Nalanda were the two prominent universities of ancient India.

But were these only Universities of ancient India?The answer is 'No'.Let's learn about these gems of our education system that flourished across ancient India & be proud.

NALANDA UNIVERSITY
This was the oldest university of ancient India.Situated in Nalanda distt. of Bihar...

Guruvayur Sri Krishna & Coconut with Horns.
#Krishnaleela

We’ve all grown up listening to stories of Shri Krishna. This one is a famous story of Shri Krishna in Guruvayur Temple, also called Dakshina Dwaraka.

There lived a villager who planted coconut saplings and had promised that he would offer the 'first coconut' from each of his coconut trees to "Guruvayurappan". When the trees started to yield coconuts, he collected the first coconut from all the trees in a sack 👇

and set forth to Guruvayur.

On the way he was stopped by a robber who asked all the items in the sack. The villager told the robber that the coconuts in the sack belonged to Guruvayurappan and so he was unable to hand it over.
@SriramKannan77 @Jayalko1

The robber with anger asked the villager "Is Guruvaurappan's coconut any different? Does it have horns ?".
Saying so the robber pulled the sack forcefully out of the villager's hand, and coconuts came out..👇

To their astonishment each and every coconut in the sack had horns! Even today, the coconut with horns are displayed in the temple for devotees to see.

Srikanteshwara Temple,
#Nanjangud  #Karnatakatemples 🚩

Srikanteshwara Temple or
Nanjundeshwara Temple is a famous Shiva Temple located in Karnataka at the bank of river  Kapila. Temple is also called Varanasi of South. Nanjunda means one who has consumed poison.

Story is  related to the Samudra Mathanam when Paramashiva had to consume halahala.

Parashurama worshipped Mahadeva here to relieve himself from the curse of Mathru Hatya. While clearing the place to do poojas Parashurama's  axe hit the Shivalingam and it began bleeding, that

mark is still visible even today. Thus
it is also believed that Parashurama did Shiva Prathishta here

Sthala Puranam says that, once there was a demon named Keshi who disturbed the people in the area, after  getting blessing from Brahma Deva  and Mahavishnu. Mahadeva appeared

here and killed demon Keshi and blessed this place as Papa Vinashini. Whoever praying to Srikanteshwara or Nanjundeshwara, after bathing in the  Kabini River will be relieved from all sins.

Nanjundeshwaraya Namah
