VARANASI Popularly known as Benares, Banaras, Benaras, Varanasi, Kashi. Nickname of Varanasi is “The spiritual capital of India” Benares is older than history, older than tradition, older even than legend, and looks twice as old as all of them put together. "-Mark Twain" Kasi or Varanasi is one of the most ancient, famous and holiest of the pilgrim centres. It is situated between two small streams that flow into the river Ganges, Varana on its northern border and Asi (or Assi) on its southern border, from whom it derives its name Varanasi. The name Kasi is derived from either its original founder or a dynasty that ruled it or the kingdom with which it was associated. According to another theory the place might have got its name from a grass named Kusa that grew wildly in the region where the city was built. Varanasi (Kashi) has been the ultimate pilgrimage spot for Hindus for ages. It is often referred to as Benares, and is the oldest living city in the world. Varanasi is the home of Lord Shiva and Parvati but its origin is yet unknown. About Varanasi it is a belief of Hindus that one who is graced to die on the land of Varanasi would attain salvation and freedom from the cycle of birth and re-birth. It is also believed that Ganges in Varanasi has the power to wash away the sins of mortals. “THE CITY OF SHIVA” VEDIC ERA OF VARANASI According to Hindu mythology Varanasi was founded by Lord Shiva and so is still called ‘The City of Shiva’; and in the city devotion to God Shiva can be seen in abundance.

Vidyapith, Deoghar, Jharkhand - 814112 Phone: 06432-222413, 236854 Website : www.rkmvdeoghar.org E-mail : [email protected] Our Motto We want that education by which character is formed, strength of mind is increased, the intellect is expanded and by which one can stand on his own feet. What we want are Western Science coupled with Vedanta, Brahmacharya as the guiding motto, and in addition to that Shraddha ¼J)k½ and Faith in one’s own self. We need technical education and all else which may develop industries so that men, instead of seeking for service, may earn enough to provide for themselves... It is man-making religion that we want. It is man-making theories that we want. It is man- making education all-round that we want. ~ Swami Vivekananda INTRODUCTION The Ramakrishna Mission Vidyapith, Deoghar is an Ashrama. It has a residential Senior Secondary School for boys from classes VI to XII. It is administered by the monks of the Ramakrishna Order, under the direct control and guidance of the Headquarters of the Ramakrishna Mission at Belur Math, Howrah, West Bengal. Being inspired by Swami Turiyananda, one of the monastic disciples of Bhagawan Sri Ramakrishna, some young monks took initiative and started this school in 1922. They began with only three students in a small house at Mihijam in the then Bihar State. However, when Mihijam was found inconvenient soon after, the school was ultimately shifted to Deoghar in 1923 and permanently founded on a piece of land where it now exists.

  • Rameshwaram, the Anchor of Indian Renaissance - 12
    Rameshwaram, The Anchor of Indian Renaissance - 12 By Dr. Narendra Joshi Where life is a pilgrimage, yatra, to know the infinite RathaYatra, the festival of Chariots of Jagannatha, is held every year at Puri which is in the state of Orissa. This ten days yatra is said to be done to commemorate Lord Jagannath’s, annual visit to Gundichamata’s temple which is close by. It is miracle no less that thousands of pilgrims come to Puriduring this time to pull the Jagannathrath, the God’s chariot with ropes. All are allowed in the temple premises, even non- Hindus and foreigners get glimpse of the deities. DeogharYatra also called as Baidyanath Dham or Baba Dham is situated on the eastern side of Jharkhand. Baidyanath Temple as we know is one of the twelve Lord Shiva’s Jyothirlingams in India. The pilgrims take the holy water of Ganga from Sultanganj’s and offer to the Jyotirlingam of Lord Shiva at Deoghar. These pilgrims are called Kanwariya, reciting Bam bam Bol Bam on the way of their tedious walk more than hundred kilometers. It is in the holy month of Shravan, this Shravani Mela is celebrated as a month long festival in the Deoghar Baidyanath Temple of Jharkhand. The 84-Kosi Yatra is a tradition and is done for thousands of years with the belief that it gives deliverance from the cycle of 84-Lakh Yonis i.e the cycle of birth and death. A king of Ayodhya performed this in the "treta period" at a place in Makhurha which is now in Basti district of Uttar Pradesh.
