The word Sanskrit compound jyotis 'shining' and linga. There are twelve traditional Jyotirlinga shrines in India. The Legend of Mahapuria, once Brahma (god of creation) and Vishnu (the form of God during the Preservation) quarreled over the superiority of creation. To settle the controversy, the Supreme God Shiva pierced three worlds, appearing as the huge Infinite Pillar of Light, Giotirling, which later cooled down in the Holy Mount of Annamalay (on which the Temple of Arunachaleswara is located). Vishnu and Brahma shared their paths down and up respectively to find the end of the world in either direction. Brahma lied that he found out about the end, and Vishnu admitted his defeat. This lie of Brahma angered Shiva, forcing him to curse Brahma that although he is the creator of the universe, he will not be worshipped. Giotirling is the Supreme Shiva, a non-happy reality from which Shiva appeared in a different form, Lingodjave. The shrines of jiotyrling are the temples where Shiva appeared as a pillar of light. It was originally thought to be 64 jiotyrlings, while 12 of them were considered very favorable and holy. Each of the twelve sites of the giotyrlings adopts the name of the presiding deity, each of which is considered a different manifestation of Shiva. In all these areas, the main image is lingam, representing the syless and endless pillar of Stamkh, symbolizing the infinite nature of Shiva. Twelve jyotirlingas are: Somnath in Gir Somnath, Gujarat Mallikarjun in Srisaylam, Andhra Pradesh Mahakaleswar in Ujjain, Pradesh Omkareshwar in Handva, Madhya Pradesh Kedarnath in Rudraprayag, Uttarakhand Bhimashankar in Maharashtra in Varanasi, Uttar Pradesh Trimbakeshwar in Nashika, Maharashtra Baydianat in Deohara, Jarhand Nageshwara in Dwarka, Gujarat Ramanathaswamy in Rameswaram, Tamil Nadu Grishneshwar in Aurangabad, Maharashtra Sanskrit Sloka Next sloka (Dodecesh Jyotirling Stotram Dvorasha Jyotirliṅga Stotram) describes 12 Jyotirlingas : necessary transfer of translite translite Saure Somanāthaṃ to Srishhail Mallikarjunam Somanat in Saurashtra and Sri Mallikarjun in Sri Shailam (Shrishaylam); Ujianyan Mahakalmonkarammaleswaram II Ujjayinyāṃ Mahakalam Omkaram Mamaleshwaram Mahakaal in Ujaina, Mamleswar in Omkareshwar; Paryayan Vaidinatam Bhimsankaram.

The growth, strength and inter- supportiveness of these four pillars are key to spreading of the Swaminarayan Faith. Lord Shree Swaminarayan has acknowledged these pillars and laid down the key responsibilities for each of the pillars. He instructed his Nand-Santos to write Shastras which helped the devotees to perform devotion (Bhakti), acquire true knowledge (Gnan), practice righteous living (Dharma) and develop non- attachment to every thing material except Supreme God, Lord Shree Swaminarayan (Vairagya). There are nine types of bhakti, of which, Lord Shree Swaminarayan has singled out Kirtan Bhakti as one of the most important and fundamental in our devotion to God.

  • CHAR DHAM HINDU TEMPLE Saturday, January 23, 2016 at 10
    CHAR DHAM HINDU TEMPLE SPECIAL PRAYER AND BRICK CEREMONY Saturday, January 23, 2016 at 10:00 AM 8044 College Park Dr. The Woodlands, TX 77384. The Char Dham Hindu Temple in The Woodlands will be a unique temple with all the four temples in one location, and the only one of its kind in the world. The design is modeled after the Char Dham temples (Char means four, and Dham means temple) located at four corners of India today – Jagannath Dham at Puri in the East, Dwarakanath Dham at Dwarka in the West, Badrinath Dham at Badrinath in the North, and Rameswaram Dham at Rameswaram in the South. Char Dhams are regarded as extremely sacred to all Hindus and pilgrimage to the Char Dhams at least once in a lifetime is a dream come true for Hindu devotees. It is further believed that Adi Shankaracharya purposefully established these four Dhams in four corners of India during the 8th century, in an attempt to revive the Hindu religion and unify all Hindus across the country. The construction of the Char Dham Hindu Temples in The Woodlands is just beginning. As part of this ceremony participants will receive bricks dedicated in their name to be built into the temples and be remembered through the life of the temple. Participating families will be provided with a set of four bricks – one for each Char Dham temple. The bricks will have the families’ names identified on them. Participants will join in prayers led by our priests and at the end of the ceremony, the bricks will be taken by each family and placed on the four temple ground locations where they will be used to construct the temples.
