श्रीकृष्‍ण के पांचजन्‍य शंख का रहस्‍य
#Thread
पाञ्चजन्य बहुत दुर्लभ शंख है। समुद्र मंथन के दौरान इस पाञ्चजन्य शंख की उत्पत्ति हुई थी। समुद्र मंथन से प्राप्त 14 रत्नों में से 6वां रत्न शंख था। श्रीकृष्‍ण के गुरु सन्दीपनी ऋषि के पुत्र पुनरदत्त को एक दैत्य शंखासुर उठा ले गया।

उसी गुरु पुत्र को लेने के लिए वे दैत्य नगरी गए। वहां उन्होंने देखा कि एक शंख में दैत्य सोया है। उन्होंने दैत्य को मारकर शंख को अपने पास रखा और फिर जब उन्हें पता चला कि उनका गुरु पुत्र तो यमपुरी चला गया है तो वे भी यमपुरी चले गए। वहां यमदूतों ने उन्हें अंदर नहीं जाने दिया

तब उन्होंने शंख का नाद किया जिसके चलते यमलोक हिलने लगा।फिर यमराज ने खुद आकर श्रीकृष्ण को उनके गुरु पुत्र की आत्मा को लौटा दिया। भगवान श्रीकृष्ण बलराम और अपने गुरु पुत्र के साथ पुन: धरती पर लौट आए और उन्होंने गुरु पुत्र के साथ ही पाञ्चजन्य शंख को भी गुरु को समक्ष प्रस्तुत कर दिया।

गुरु ने पाञ्चजन्य को पुन: श्रीकृष्ण को देते हुए कहा कि यह तुम्हारे लिए ही है। तब गुरु की आज्ञा से उन्होंने इस शंख का नाद कर पुराने युग की समाप्ति और नए युग का प्रारंभ किया।

#पाञ्चजन्य शंख की शक्ति
भगवान कृष्ण के पास पाञ्चजन्य शंख था जिसकी ध्वनि कई किलोमीटर तक पहुंच जाती थी। कहते हैं कि महाभारत युद्ध में अपनी ध्वनि से पांडव सेना में उत्साह का संचार करने वाले इस शंख की ध्वनि से संपूर्ण युद्ध भूमि में शत्रु सेना में भय व्याप्त हो जाता था।

Sri Chakra Yantra🙏🚩
🕉️
Sri Chakra Yantra of Tripura Sundari (commonly referred to as Sri Yantra) is a mandala formed by nine interlocking triangles. Four of these triangles are oriented upright, representing Shiva or the Masculine.

Five of these triangles are inverted triangles representing Shakti, or the Feminine. Together, the nine triangles form a web symbolic of the entire cosmos, a womb symbolic of creation, and together express Advaita Vedanta or non-duality.

#Benefits
It is not just like some magic. It just clears our mind and motivates us to focus our goal. Meditating upon the symbols of the yantra will help in the clarity of thoughts and mind. It is the ultimate solution to all the negativity in the life.

कबीरदास जी की पगड़ी
#कहानी
एक बार संत कबीर ने बड़ी कुशलता से पगड़ी बनाई। झीना- झीना कपडा बुना और उसे गोलाई में लपेटा। हो गई पगड़ी तैयार। वह पगड़ी जिसे हर कोई बड़ी शान से अपने सिर सजाता हैं।

यह नई नवेली पगड़ी लेकर संत कबीर दुनिया की हाट में जा बैठे। ऊँची-ऊँची पुकार उठाई, 'शानदार पगड़ी ! जानदार पगड़ी ! दो टके की भाई ! दो टके की भाई !' एक खरीददार निकट आया। उसने घुमा- घुमाकर पगड़ी का निरीक्षण किया। फिर कबीर जी से प्रश्न किया, 'क्यों महाशय एक टके में दोगे क्या ?'

कबीर जी ने अस्वीकार कर दिया, 'न भाई ! दो टके की है। दो टके में ही सौदा होना चाहिए।' खरीददार भी नट गया। पगड़ी छोड़कर आगे बढ़ गया। यही प्रतिक्रिया हर खरीददार की रही।

सुबह से शाम हो गई। कबीर जी अपनी पगड़ी बगल में दबाकर खाली जेब वापिस लौट आए।

थके- माँदे कदमों से घर-आँगन में प्रवेश करने ही वाले थे कि तभी एक पड़ोसी से भेंट हो गई। उसकी दृष्टि पगड़ी पर पड़ गई। क्या हुआ संत जी, इसकी बिक्री नहीं हुई ? पड़ोसी ने जिज्ञासा की। कबीर जी ने दिन भर का क्रम कह सुनाया।

पड़ोसी ने कबीर जी से पगड़ी ले ली, आप इसे बेचने की सेवा मुझे दे दीजिए। मैं कल प्रातः ही बाजार चला जाऊँगा।

अगली सुबह कबीर जी के पड़ोसी ने ऊँची-ऊँची बोली लगाई, 'शानदार पगड़ी ! जानदार पगड़ी ! आठ टके की भाई ! आठ टके की भाई !'

Patalkot, MP - Way to Patal Lok
#Thread
Our Sanatan Dharma talks about Patal Lok or the underworld. It is believed that Patal Lok is the home of the demons and nagas (serpents). Given that a place like Patalkot also exists in Chhindwara district of Madhya Pradesh.

Ancient legends:
The dense green hills in the Tamia region of Chhindwara are inhabited by more than 2,000 tribes. Patalkot is populated by the Bharia and the Gond tribes for many centuries. Until recently, these tribes were cut off from civilized world.

The Bharias hold the belief that it was at Patalkot that Ramayana’s Mata Sita disappeared into the earth, thus forming a deep cavity.

There is also a belief that after worshipping Lord Shiva, Prince Meghnad son of Ravana had gone to Patal-lok through this place only.

Another legend has it that Prabhu Hanuman, entered the underworld through this region in order to save Lord Rama and Lakshmana to salvage them from the shackles of demon Ahiravana.

Patalkot’s dark underbelly:

Patalkot is blessed with dense foliage and is home to medicinal herbs, plants, animals and birds of various species. The top of the valley is as high as 1,200-1,500 ft, and a bird’s eye view makes the landscape appear in the shape of a horseshoe.

Prabhu Shiva and Shri Vishnu Fight
#Thread
Shri Vishnu assumed the form of Narasimha to slay Hiranyakashipu, an asura (demon) king, who was terrorizing the universe and devotee of Prabhu Shiva but he was not coming out of his Avatar even after killing Hiranyakashipu.

The Shiva Purana mentions, After slaying Hiranyakashipu, Narasimha's wrath threatened the world. At the behest of the gods, Shiva sent Virabhadra to tackle Narasimha. When that failed, Shiva manifested as Sharabha.

When Narasimha saw Sharabha, he became more angry and assumed the ferocious form of Gandaberunda. There happened a furious fight between Sharabha and Gandaberunda.

( Sharabh Avatar of Shiv ji below in Picture 🙏)

The Vathistabhaana purana mentions that Ashtamukha Gandaberunda Narasimha had destroyed Sarabha with the help of Lord Pradhaneshwara and Bhalukka. Whereas, the Shiva Purana and some puranas mentions Sharabha attacking Narasimha and immobilizing him.

He thus quelled Narasimha's terrifying rage. It is also said that Sharabha then decapitated and de-skinned Narasimha so Shiva could wear the hide and lion-head as a garment.

The Linga Purana and the Sharabha Upanishad also mention the mutilation and murder of Narasimha.

MEENAKSHI AMMAN, MADURAI (TN)
#bharatmandir #navratri2021

A paadal Petra sthalam where Shiva took the form of Sundareswarar (the handsome one) and married Devi Parvati (Meenakshi).
Devi is also known by the name Angayarkanni (mother with the beautiful fish eyes).
@GunduHuDuGa

Devi Meenakshi emerged from yagna fire as a 3 year old girl when Pandyan King Malayadwaja and Kanchanamalai were praying for a child.
It is said that Devi was born with three breasts and there was a prophesy that her superfluous breast would melt away when she met her husband.

Devi ruled over Madurai and captured Indralok. She went on to capture Kailasha. When she saw Shiva, her 3rd breast disappeared and she realised that Shiva would be her consort.
The divine marriage was attended by all Devas and Sri Vishnu (as her brother) gave her hand to Shiva.

It is said that Indra found a swayambhu lingam at Kadamba Vanam. He placed it in Madurai where the kshetram stands. Here, Shiva is seen on the vehicle of Indra.
The Golden Lotus Tank is said to be the place where a golden lotus blossomed for the puja performed by Indra.

The Meenakshi Thirukalyanam festival is celebrated in the Chithirai month to mark the divine marriage of Meenakshi Amman. The festival includes a procession where Meenakshi and Sundareshwara travel in a chariot and Sri Vishnu gives away his sister in marriage to Shiva.

Thrikkangode Sree Randu Moorthy Temple
Ottappalam, Kerala. 🚩
#keralatemples

This is very unique temple as Shiva and Vishnu both are in the “linga” form in the same Garbhagriham. The Srikovil is in a circular pattern. Temple's Prathishta was done by Parasurama.

Mahadeva and Maha Vishnu in the same Srikovil is very rare Prathishta, but poojas are done separately Dhara is done to Maha Vishnu here. People suffering from “KAIVISHAM” and mental illness are fully cured on drinking a medicinal herb supplied by a nearby family here.

The root of the banyan tree around the Ayyappa Sannidhanam is said to have great powers for skin ailments.

Very ancient temple but was covered with forest for many years.
Later two persons Chakki and Chaathan, while cutting trees their axe hit on the nearby
@SriramKannan77

Vigrahams and it suddenly started bleeding. Later Devaprashnam was held and thus found out that these were murthy's of Shiva and Vishnu which was worshipped long back. And thus temple is constructed here.
