The Legend of Sharad Purnima

The Vrat Katha of Sharad Purnima dictates the story of two daughters of a moneylender who resided in a village. Both the siblings observed the fast on the eve of Sharad Purnima. However, the elder one did it with pure zeal and dedication but the younger one had a casual approach.

Where the elder one did the fast in a proper ritualistic way the younger one did it for namesake. Later, the two sisters grew up and got married to their respective partners. The younger sister faced miscarriages one after the other and had no child. Hence, to find a remedy she visited a saint and narrated her story. The saint immediately understood and pointed out her lack of devotion in performing the fast as the reason for her misfortune.

Saint then advised her to take up the fast with full sincerity and devotion to get the grace of the Moon God. Taking his advice, the younger sister did the fast accordingly but this time again her baby died as soon as he came out. However, the younger sister was well aware of the fact that her elder sister had been blessed by the Moon God. Hence, the younger sister hoped the elder sister had the power to make the baby alive again.

So, the younger sister covered the corpse in a sheet and laid it on the bed. Then, she invited her elder sister to come and sit on the bed where the baby’s corpse was lying. As soon as the elder sister was about to sit, the baby came to life and burst out crying. Surprised by this elder sister scolded the younger one for her carelessness.

It is then that the younger sister told her that the baby had died but it came to life with her sister’s touch. She also told her elder sister that it was all due to the grace of Moon God upon her. Further, she shared with her the power of the Sharad Purnima Vrat. Since that day, this Vrat became popular and is observed by all the Hindu women.

After bathing, devotees are advised to wear a rudraksha mala, if possible.

Panch Prayag – Five Sacred Confluences in Uttarakhand

Panch Prayag is a manifestation in the spirit of the Hindu religion. The expression is used to signify the five holy river confluences in the Garhwal district of Uttarakhand.

The word ‘Prayag’ breaks down to the confluence of two or more rivers. Moreover, Panch Prayag goes by the name ‘Panch Pentad’ in Sanskrit. Nevertheless, five confluences in the descending order of their existence are Vishnuprayag, Nandaprayag, Karnaprayag, Rudraprayag and Devprayag.

Holy Pathways of Panch Prayag

Alaknanda originates from the triangular lake called Satopanth. It is present 4402 metres above sea level. Moreover, Satopanth gets its name from Brahma, Vishnu, Shiva and Bhagirath Kharak Glaciers lying near Nanda Devi peak in Uttarakhand.

Holy trail of Panch Prayag — Satopanth is the origin of the Holy Alaknanda river.

In the course of 229 km from its origin Alaknanda crosses all the five Prayags. Moreover, it finally unifies with Bhagirathi and gives rise to the Holy Ganges or Ganga. Nevertheless, it continues to flow down further to Rishikesh and Haridwar that share the banks of Ganges in Uttarakhand.

Each Sangam or confluence has developed religious towns near them due to the inflow of pilgrims visiting Panch Kedar and Sapta Badri temples. Also, devotees take bath at these holy Sangam while undertaking the Char Dham Yatra in Uttarakhand.

The town names inspired by these confluences are titled as Nandaprayag, Karnaprayag, Rudraprayag and Devprayag. However, Vishnuprayag does not have a town at its bank yet it is 12 km from Joshimath.

The Essence of the Five Prayags

According to Hindus, Prayag is the sacred Sangam of rivers where devotees take a dip before worship. Also, people arrive at these sacred sangams to perform the last rites for the dead. Moreover, the devotees worship holy confluences as God’s manifestation on Earth.

Essence of Panch Prayag — Dip in the holy waters of Prayag is believed to wash away ones sins.

However, the Prayag at Allahabad is considered to be the holiest. Nevertheless, the Panch Prayag of Uttarakhand is just next to them. Apart from numerous tales from the Puranas, these Prayags are home to the amazing scenic beauty.

Moreover, the religious texts state that Panch Prayag in Uttarakhand is the Svargarohana route that the Pandavas took to reach heaven.

How to get to these confluences?

Rishikesh is the point of start for your Panch Prayag journey. It is near to Haridwar that has train connectivity to all the major cities of India. Moreover, Jolly Grant Airport in Dehradun is at a distance of 18 km from Rishikesh.

Besides these, one can take a road trip to Rishikesh from different parts of the country. However, one can hire private taxis to Rishikesh as per their convenience.

From Rishikesh, the distance of the five Prayags are –

Name of the Prayag	Distance from Rishikesh
Vishnuprayag	263 km
Nandaprayag	193 km
Karnyaprayag	173 km
Rudraprayag	141 km
Devprayag	74 km

Portrayal of Panch Prayag

Nandaprayag– Here, Alaknanda meets Nandakini river and the two rivers unify. However, this confluence gets its name from King Nanda who performed yagna at this place in pursuit of a son.
Karnaprayag– This is the confluence of river Alaknanda and Pindar. Beliefs say that Krishna cremated Karna at this place only. Hence, there is a Karna temple by the banks of the confluence.
Rudraprayag– At this place, Mandakini river joins Alaknanda in its flow. Moreover, traditional tales suggest that Shiva appeared in its Rudra avatar at this place in front of Sage Narada. Hence, the place has Shiva temples in abundance.
Devprayag– This confluence gives birth to the mainstream Ganges as Alaknanda and Bhagirathi unify. Devprayag means ‘Godly confluence‘. Moreover, the inspiration of the confluence’s name is taken from sage Dev Sharma from Satyug, who got blessings from Lord Vishnu. Lord Ram also meditated here so it has many Ram temples too.

Char Dham Yatra Age Limit

There is no particular age limit for Char Dham Yatra. But, due to the high altitudes and breathing difficulties, it is recommended only for people between 7-65 years of age.

Chardham 2020 Package

There are several factors to be considered before embarking on the Char Dham Yatra. One such important factor is the age restrictions which are advised primarily for health concerns.

Badrinath Age Limit

Badrinath Temple Age Limit — The journey to the Badrinath Temple can be covered by either trekking or riding a palki or a pony.

Badrinath Temple: No age limit that has been decided upon by the temple authorities, but, it is a suggestion, widely offered, that devotees aged 7 to 65 years only travel to the temple. For anyone apart from this age group, it is important to get a health check-up.

It is mandatory to show a medical certificate as proof. This is because the Badrinath Temple is located at a high altitude of 3300 meters. Traveling to the temple can cause breathing problems due to low oxygen levels at such a height. The distance to be covered is also another factor to consider before planning a visit. Cars are allowed to travel up to a certain point. After this point, the devotees must trek in order to get to the temple. Ponies and palkis are available for those who cannot continue the journey on foot.

Badrinath to Kedarnath Chopper — For those unable to trek to the temple, especially senior citizens, helicopter services are available.

Kedarnath Age Limit

Kedarnath Temple: It is advised that kids below 10 years and senior citizens above 65 years of age should avoid pilgrimage due to the high altitudes. However, if medical fitness is proven, a devotee of any age can join the holy yatra.

Like the Badrinath Temple, the Kedarnath Temple is also located at a very high altitude of 3583 meters. To cover the distance on foot would vary from 5 to 8 hours. Since the journey to the temple is long, there is a provision of palkis and mules for those unable to trek. The time it takes to travel on a mule or a palki is approximately 4-5 hours.

Gangotri Age Limit

Gangotri Temple: The temple does not impose age restrictions, and hence with medical approval, a person of any age group can travel to this temple. However, it is advised that devotees aged 7 to 65 years only travel to the temple.

This is because, the Gangotri is present atop the Great Himalayan Range at an altitude of 3100 meters, on the banks of the River Bhagirathi. Since the temple is located in the valley, snowfall, as well as rainfall, is common throughout the year. This increases the risk of traveling up the slope and takes at least 3 to 4 hours to cover the distance from the Uttarkashi base camp to the Gangotri.

Yamunotri Age Limit

Yamunotri Temple: Like all the other Char Dham Temples, the Yamunotri is also located at a high altitude. But since the route is comparatively better structured, it makes it convenient for pilgrims of all age groups to travel to this temple. However, medical proof of ‘fit to travel’ is still required to be shown at the base camp at Uttarkashi.

Please carry a valid medical certificate as it is required to be shown at the camps as proof.

All the Char Dham Camps provide first aid boxes & oxygen cylinders, but it is advised to carry your own first-aid kits. The Char Dham Yatra is divided into two treks – one is a 6 km one-way trek from Jankichatti to Yamunotri and the other is a 21 km one-way trek from Gaurikund to Kedarnath. For those unable to walk the distance, such as senior citizens, ponies, pithus, and palkis are readily available.

Sringeri Temple History

What is the history of Sringeri Temple?

According to the history of the Sringeri Temple, Sri Sharadamba is the presiding deity of the town of Sringeri. The original sringeri temple was small and a sandalwood idol of Goddess Sharada was there above a Sri Chakra. Moreover, Adi Shankaracharya carved the Sri Chakra.

Subsequently, Sri Bharati Krishna Tirtha and Sri Vidyaranya expanded and renovated the temple. Sri Bharati Krishna Tirtha substituted the sandalwood idol with the present golden idol.

Sri Sacchidananda Shivabhinava Narasimha Bharati raised the present structure in granite with polished granite walls around the sanctum and Sri Chandrasekhara Bharati consecrated the new temple in May 1916.

According to the history of the sringeri temple, the 32nd Acharya of the Peetham, Jagadguru Sri Vriddha Narasimha Bharati Mahaswamiji had a vision of the Ganapati when he was contemplating on resolving and issue in the mutt affairs. He offered prayers to the image of Lord Ganapati carved on the Torana of the door nearby. Hence, this resolved the problem immediately. Since then, the Ganapati became famous as Torana Ganapati.

According to sources, the Muslim invasion under Malik Kafur, destroyed the original idol made of sandalwood. During the Vijayanagara period, a gold statue of Sharadamba in a sitting position was there.

In the 14th century, the Vijayanagara empire gave royal patronage. The King granted the Peetham the rights over the secular administration of the land.

Legend of Mandanmisra

As per the story, a noted scholar named Mandanmisra was famous for his debating skills and no one could win the debate with him. Seeing this, Goddess Saraswati descended on Earth as Upaya Bharathi and organized a debate between Shankaracharya and Mandanmisra.

The condition was that if Shankaracharya loses the debate, he would marry and have a family and if Mandanmisra loses, he will take up Asceticism. Upaya Bharathi handed each of them a garland and said that whichever garland dries up first, that person will lose the debate.

The debate lasted for 17 days and eventually Mandanmisra ‘s garland dried first and he lost the debate. Upaya Bharathi challenged Shankaracharya on a debate on marital life. After a time gap of one month, Shankaracharya won the debate. He begged Upaya Bharathi to follow him to a place he goes to frequently. She obliged on the condition that he will not turn back and look at her otherwise she will stop.

Mandanmisra was a disciple of Shankaracharya and he started the journey with Upaya Bharathi. On reaching the village of Sringeri, an unusual sight on the banks of River Tunga surprised him. A cobra was spreading out its hood over a frog in labor pains, to give it a shadow from the scorching mid-day sun. The sound of the anklets stopped and he turned back to look. Shankaracharya immediately installed the Sri Chakra on a rock there and installed Devi with the name Sharada.

The Goddess appeared before him and said that this would become famous as the Sharada Peetham and that she would stay at the Peetam to grace the devotees. Mandanamisra, now Sureshwara became the first pontiff of Sringeri Sharada Peetam.

What is the significance of Sringeri Temple?

The significance of Sringeri Temple is that Sri Adi Shankaracharya in 8th century AD founded Sringeri Sharada Peetham which is the southern Advaita Vedanta Matt. He had previously established three other Matts – Jyotirmath in the North, Puri in the East and Dwarka in the West.

Sri Adi Shankaracharya installed the idol of Goddess Sharadamba on the banks of the Tunga river.

According to beliefs, Lord Shiva gifted the crystal Chandramouleeshwara Linga to Sri Adi Shankaracharya. One can still visit the Linga and the Chandramouleeshwara Pooja takes place for the Linga every night at 8:30 PM.

Devotees believe that Goddess Sharadambika is the incarnation of Goddess Saraswati, who came to Earth as Upaya Bharathi. It is a common faith that by worshiping her, one can receive blessings of Brahma, Shiva, and Vishnu along with Durga, Lakshmi, and Saraswati.

In the eastern half of the structure of Sri Vidyashankara Temple, a mandap with twelve pillars is present. Each of them is adorned with twelve signs of the Zodiac in order. These pillars are arranged in such a way that the rays of the sun fall on each of them in order of the 12 solar months.

A large Sudarshana Chakra can be seen in the Janardhana Temple in the complex. It is believed that offering prayers to the Chakra can ward off the feelings of enmity towards other human beings. It is also believed to protect devotees from all evil and harm.

The ritual of Aksharabhyasa is sacred and fulfilling. The parents of kids in the age of 2-5 are given a slate and chalk or alternatively, a plate of rice on which they pray to Goddess Saraswati and the Guru to impart good knowledge and education to their children.

त्र्यंबकेश्वर मंदिर – Trimbakeshwar Temple in Hindi

त्र्यंबकेश्वर मंदिर, जिसे त्र्यंबकेश्वर मंदिर के रूप में भी जाना जाता है, महाराष्ट्र के नासिक जिले में त्र्यंबक में स्थित पवित्र ज्योतिर्लिंग तीर्थस्थल का एक हिस्सा है। मंदिर पवित्र नदी गोदावरी का स्रोत भी है। इसके अलावा, त्र्यंबकेश्वर मंदिर महाराष्ट्र की महान ब्रह्मगिरी पहाड़ियों की तलहटी में है।

क्या आप इस मंदिर के दर्शन कर रहे हैं? महाराष्ट्र में ज्योतिर्लिंग के लिए हमारे टूर पैकेज पर एक नज़र डालें।

त्र्यंबकेश्वर मंदिर उन बारह मंदिरों में से एक है, जो भक्त भगवान शिव के सच्चे या स्वयंभू रूपों के रूप में पूजा करते हैं। इसके अलावा, स्वायंभु लिंग का अर्थ है कि भगवान शिव स्वयं लिंग में बदल गए।

त्रयंबकेश्वर मंदिर में स्थापत्य की नगा शैली के बाद काले पत्थर शामिल हैं। त्र्यंबकेश्वर मंदिर में एक मंडप और एक गर्भगृह है।

यहां मौजूद लिंग त्र्यंबका या त्र्यंबक है। कुछ लोगों का मानना है कि ऐसा इसलिए है क्योंकि इसमें ब्रह्मा, विष्णु और शिव का प्रतिनिधित्व करने वाले तीन छोटे अंगूठे हैं। जबकि, दूसरों का मानना है कि ऐसा इसलिए है क्योंकि भगवान शिव की तीन आंखें हैं। अभयारण्य के ऊपर एक विशाल और सुंदर मीनार है, जिसमें एक अमलाका (रिम पर लकीरों के साथ एक पत्थर की डिस्क, नीचे देवता का आसन अंकित है) और एक स्वर्ण कलसा है।

मुख्य लिंगम गर्भगृह के फर्श पर एक अवसाद में मौजूद है। आमतौर पर, लिंगम में एक चांदी का मुखौटा होता है जो पवित्र ट्रिनिटी के चेहरे को दर्शाता है। हालांकि, त्योहारों और विशेष अवसरों पर, एक स्वर्ण मुकुट लिंगम को कवर करता है।

पवित्र त्र्यंबकेश्वर मंदिर गोदावरी नदी का स्रोत भी है। हालांकि, स्थानीय लोग उत्पत्ति के साथ जुड़ी किंवदंतियों के कारण नदी को गंगा नदी कहते हैं। नदी के फैलाव की सीमा और उसके पौराणिक महत्व के परिणामस्वरूप, नदी दक्षिण गंगा (दक्षिण की गंगा) के रूप में लोकप्रिय है।

मराठा शासक नाना साहेब पेशवा ने 18 वीं शताब्दी में वर्तमान त्र्यंबकेश्वर मंदिर का निर्माण किया था।

श्रीमंत राव साहब ने कुशावर्त पानी की टंकी के चारों ओर त्र्यंबकेश्वर मंदिर का निर्माण किया और टैंक के लिए दृष्टिकोण में सुधार किया।

त्र्यंबकेश्वर मंदिर का इतिहास क्या है?

त्र्यंबकेश्वर मंदिर का इतिहास ऋषि गौतम की एक पौराणिक कथा से संबंधित है। मान्यताओं के अनुसार, सतयुग में भूमि तपोभूमि थी जब गौतम ऋषि सहित कई ऋषि और मुनि (ऋषि) यहां रहते थे। वह अपनी पत्नी अहिल्या के साथ त्र्यंबक में रहता था।

एक बार, बड़े पैमाने पर सूखा पड़ा और दुनिया पानी की कमी से पीड़ित थी। गौतम ऋषि ने भगवान वरुण (पानी के देवता) के लिए प्रार्थना की। भगवान वरुण ने प्रार्थनाओं को स्वीकार किया और उन्हें एक टैंक दिया जो पानी की कभी न भरने वाली आपूर्ति प्रदान करता था। इस पानी का उपयोग करते हुए, ऋषि ने चावल, गेहूं और अन्य सब्जियों जैसी कृषि फसलों को उगाया। फिर उसने उन्हें वहाँ रहने वाले दूसरे ऋषियों को खिलाया।

कुछ समय के बाद, कुछ अन्य ऋषियों ने ईर्ष्या बढ़ाई और गौतम ऋषि को रोकना चाहा। इसलिए, उन्होंने भगवान गणेश से प्रार्थना की कि वे ऋषि के खेत में एक गाय भेजें और फिर मर जाएं। हालांकि, भगवान गणेश ने ऋषियों को चेतावनी दी कि यह उनके लिए अच्छा नहीं होगा। लेकिन उसने फिर भी एक गाय को खेत में भेज दिया। गौतम ऋषि ने इसे देखा और फिर डराने के लिए दरभा घास को फेंक दिया। लेकिन गाय की खेत में ही मौत हो गई।

गौतम ऋषि और पत्नी अहिल्या ने भगवान शिव की तपस्या की। उनकी भक्ति के कारण वह खुश हो गया और उसने गंगा को पृथ्वी पर आने का आदेश दिया।

गंगा नदी ब्रह्मगिरि पहाड़ी से पृथ्वी पर बहती थी और गौतम ऋषि ने इसे वर्तमान समय में कुशावर्त नामक कुंड या तालाब में फँसा दिया था। शुद्धिकरण के लिए उन्होंने इसमें स्नान किया। नदी दक्षिण गंगा थी और गोदावरी और गौतमी के नाम से भी प्रसिद्ध है।

तब गौतम ऋषि ने अन्य देवताओं और गोदावरी के साथ भगवान शिव से यहां निवास करने का अनुरोध किया। भगवान शिव ने उन्हें स्वीकार किया और वहां रहने के लिए लिंग में बदल दिया।

लिंगोदभव गठन

त्रयंबकेश्वर मंदिर से जुड़ी एक और प्रचलित किंवदंती है, भगवान शिव के लिंगबोध स्वरूप की। भक्तों का मानना है कि भगवान शिव द्वारा भगवान शिव से निकलने वाले अंतहीन स्तंभ के अंत को खोजने के लिए भगवान ब्रह्मा द्वारा झूठ बोलने के बाद। भगवान शिव ने भगवान ब्रह्मा को श्राप दिया कि भक्त उनकी पूजा नहीं करेंगे। इससे भगवान ब्रह्मा नाराज हो गए और बदले में उन्होंने भगवान शिव को श्राप दे दिया। इसने भगवान शिव को धरातल के नीचे धकेल दिया। इसके परिणामस्वरूप, त्र्यंबकेश्वर में भगवान शिव की लिंग भूमि तल के नीचे है।

त्र्यंबकेश्वर मंदिर का क्या महत्व है?

मंदिर महत्वपूर्ण है क्योंकि भगवान त्र्यंबकेश्वर का ज्योतिर्लिंग शिव के बारह पवित्र ज्योतिर्लिंग रूपों में से एक है। मुख्य लिंग तीन छोटे अंगूठे के आकार का लिंग है, जिसमें से प्रत्येक भगवान ब्रह्मा, भगवान विष्णु और भगवान शिव का प्रतिनिधित्व करता है। भगवान शिव के लिंग से लगातार पानी निकलता रहता है।

त्र्यंबकेश्वर मंदिर एकमात्र ज्योतिर्लिंग है जहां वास्तविक लिंग एक अवसाद या एक गुहा में मौजूद है।

भक्तों का यह भी मानना है कि तीनों लिंगों की आंखें सूर्य, चंद्रमा और अग्नि का प्रतिनिधित्व करती हैं। इसके अलावा, जो इस लिंग की पूजा करता है वह एक ही बार में तीनों देवताओं की पूजा करता है और मोक्ष को प्राप्त करता है।

ब्रह्मा, विष्णु और शिव के तीन लिंग आमतौर पर उनके चेहरे को दर्शाते हुए चांदी के मुकुट से ढंके होते हैं। हालांकि, महाशिवरात्रि, कार्तिक पूर्णिमा और दशहरा जैसे विशेष अवसरों पर, हीरे और माणिक से सुसज्जित स्वर्ण मुकुट को तीन लिंगों के ऊपर रखा जाता है। इसके अलावा, यह माना जाता है कि पेशवाओं ने मंदिर को मुकुट दान किया था और ताज वास्तव में पांडवों का था।

हमारे पूर्वजों को खुश करने के लिए, त्रयंबकेश्वर मंदिर में गंगा पूजा, गंगा स्नान और तर्पण श्राद्ध जैसे पूजा किए जाते हैं।

विश्व इतिहास के 24 महान हीरों में गिने जाने वाले खूबसूरत और लोकप्रिय नासक डायमंड की उत्पत्ति त्र्यंबकेश्वर मंदिर में हुई है। ब्रिटिश ईस्ट इंडिया कंपनी ने हीरे पर कब्जा कर लिया और इसे ब्रिटेन में ज्वैलर्स को बेच दिया। इसने तब से हाथ बदल लिए हैं और वर्तमान में कनेक्टिकट से एडवर्ड जे हैंड की संपत्ति है।

माना जाता है कि कुशावर्त तालाब में, गोदावरी नदी का स्रोत मानव जीवन से पापों को मिटा देता है। तालाब कुंभ मेले के लिए शुरुआती बिंदु है जो हर बारह साल में होता है। कुंभ मेले का आयोजन चार पवित्र शहरों हरिद्वार, इलाहाबाद, नासिक और उज्जैन के बीच होता है। नासिक में, कुंभ मेले को विशेष रूप से सिंहस्थ कुंभ मेला कहा जाता है।

किंवदंती के अनुसार, नासिक उन स्थानों में से एक है जहां भगवान विष्णु ने अमृत की चार बूंदें गिराईं जो वह कुंभ (बर्तन) में ले जा रहे थे। इसलिए, इन स्थानों में डुबकी लेना अत्यंत पवित्र और आध्यात्मिक माना जाता है।
