  • The Pashupatinath Temple Pashupatinath Temple Will Now Be
    Om Shri Sai Nathaya Namah: The Pashupatinath Temple will now be seen in Indore With the blessings of almighty Lord Shiva the foundation stone was laid for the building of Shri Sarveshwar Mahadev Temple at Tillor Khurd, Indore, which will be a replica of the ancient and sacred temple of Lord Pashupatinath at Kathmandu, Nepal, along with a Care Home for children with special needs. The ceremony was graced by the presence of revered saints from across the country namely Mahant Shriman Raghumuni Ji (Shi Mahan t, Shri Bada Udasin Akhada), Mahamandaleshwar Guru Sharnanad Ji (Raman Reti - Gokul Mathura), Shri Dahya Bhai Shastri Ji (Nadiad), and political leaders like Shri Kailash Vijayvargiya, Shri Ramesh Mandola, and Shri Jeetu Patwari. The temple being built by the Shiv Om Sai trust about eighteen kilometers from Indore at Tillor Khurd will be exactly like the Pashupatinath Temple from its Architecture, to the other temples of Goddess Mother Annapurna, Vasukinath, Lord Hanuman, Lord Unmat Bhairav and Lord Gane sha that will also be built in the temple complex exactly like in Kathmandu, and also the five faced Holy Lingam. A care home for children with special needs is also being made within the same campus. The main temple will be built on an area of 5500 sq ft and the care home over an area of 25,000 sq ft, with the total campus being spread over an area of 90,000 sq ft. The inspiration for building the temple came one Monday during the month of Shravan in 2014 when, during Shiva puja , one of Guruji’s (founder of the Shiv Om Sai Trust, Shri Manoj Thakkar Ji) disciples mentioned to Guruji that, many years back when he had fallen seriously ill, his father had promised to establish a temple of Lord Shiva along with his family if his health improved; he had gotten better since but the promise remained unfulfilled yet.

In his book, Heaven Lake, he describes a long journey from China to India, via Tibet and Nepal. • Have you heard of places like Ajmer Sharif, Madurai, Sanchi, Varanasi, Sarnath, or Halebid? Can you name some other places like these? • What do the surroundings of a holy place in your city look like? Think about it as you read Vikram Seth’s description of Kathmandu. 1. I GET a cheap room in the centre of town and sleep for hours. The next morning, with Mr Shah’s son and nephew, I visit the two temples in Kathmandu that are most sacred to Hindus and Buddhists. 2. At Pashupatinath (outside which a sign proclaims ‘Entrance for the Hindus only’) there is proclaim: make an atmosphere of ‘febrile confusion’. Priests, known publicly or hawkers, devotees, tourists, cows, monkeys, pigeons officially and dogs roam through the grounds. We offer a few febrile confusion: flowers. There are so many worshippers that some hurried activity; complete chaos people trying to get the priest’s attention are elbowed aside by others pushing their way to the front. A princess of the Nepalese royal house appears; everyone bows and makes way. By the main gate, a party of saffron-clad Westerners struggle for permission to enter. The policeman is not convinced that they are ‘the Hindus’ (only Hindus are allowed to enter the temple). A fight breaks out between two monkeys. One chases the other, who jumps onto a shivalinga, then runs screaming around the temples and down to the river, the holy Bagmati, 2021–22 Pashupatinath Temple, Kathmandu that flows below.

  • Pashupatinath Temple Notes
    Pashupatinath Temple Notes http://discover-nepal.tripod.com/pashupatinath_temple.htm The magnificent temple of Lord Pashupatinath about 5 kms north-east of Kathmandu, is situated amidst many other temples on the right bank of the River Baghmati. Pashupathinath is the guardian spirit and the holiest of all Shiva shrines in Nepal. Lord Shiva is known by many different names; and Pashupati is one. Pashu means animal beings, and Pati means master. In other words Pashupati is the master of all living beings of the universe. This is how lord Pashupati is eulogized in the Vedas, Upanisada and other religious books. Legends are numerous as to how the temple of Lord Pashupati came into existence here. As stated in chronicles, the image of Lord Shiva in the form of the Jyotirlinga was covered with earth over the years, and soft green grass sprouted over it. Further, as the legend goes, a cow used to go there mysteriously every day and offer her milk to this holy but hidden Linga of Lord Shiva. When the Gwala (owner) saw that the cow had stopped giving milk for a few days he started keeping eye on her; he finally came across the place where the cow offered her milk. With a natural curiosity to know the importance of the place, where his cow made offerings of her milk, the gwala dug up the place and found the Jyotirlinga of Lord Shiva. After this, a number of gwalas gathered to worship this Linga according to religious conformity. This started the tradition of worshipping this Linga.

  • Significance of Hindu Pilgrimage
    Patan Pragya (Volume: 7 Number: 1 2020) [ ISSN No. 2595-3278 Received Date: July 2020 Revised: Oct. 2020 Accepted: Dec.2020 https://doi.org/10.3126/pragya.v7i1.35041 Significance of Hindu Pilgrimage; study of Pashupathinath and Kashi Vishwonath Dahal Bishnu Prasad, PhD Abstract Pilgrimage is one of the most common phenomena found in religious culture, occurring in just about every major religious tradition. Pilgrimage has adapted to a purportedly secularizing world, and even benefited from contemporary modes of transportation and communication.All pilgrims provide the message of human welfare, development of universe and religious and spiritual promotions for the welfare of society, way to truth, salvation and many more through interactions, observations of pilgrimage, but for understanding the cultural system in both intrinsic and extrinsic ways, or as insider and outsider, a human science paradigm would be better as it covers the totality thus attempting to reveal the “whole” of the culture, human psyche and functions at play. It was found that no any kind of discriminations, differences, inequalities on the basis of caste, class, gender, ethnicity etc.among pilgrimage during the visit. Almost all respondents felt the harmony, cohesion and friendly during the visit though cross-border. All Shiva shrines promote the welfare of animals, human and the world. Harmony, cohesion, solidarity and brotherhood and sisterhood were found good. Any kind of discriminations, differences, inequalities were not found on the basis of caste, class, gender, ethnicity etc. Key words: Hindu, pilgrimage, Kashi, Kathmandu, Passupathinath, Vishwonath . 1.
