The Mahakaleshwar and Omkareshwar Darshan

One of the 12 Jyotirlingas in India, the lingam at the Mahakaleshwar (Third Jyotirlinga) is believed to be Swayambhu (born of itself) deriving currents of power Shakti) from within itself as against the other images and lingams which are ritually established and invested with mantra-shakti. There are many more ancient stories based on The Mahakaal. It is located in the holy city Ujjain located in M.P (Madhya Pradesh) state. In the ancient story Lord Krishna was also having desire to visit that holy place. The he visited with his Guru (Muni Sandipani). There is Ashram called Sandipani Muni Ashram, the place where Lord Krishna and his beloved friend Sudama got his childhood education. That is very much holy and auspicious place we visited over here. We started our journey from Avantika Express; from night, Avantika is also one of the ancient name of Ujjain. We reached at Ujjain at morning and took some rest and then went for Shree Mahakaal Darshan. Awesome Shrine, really I was amazed to visit the temple and location over there. There was really something magnetic power which was attracting us to stay some more day but we were having lack of time. We visited the place called Mangal Grah Temple, Bhairao Nath temple and so many places. We took our food at night around 9 O’Clock and our journey continues to the next Omkareshwar and Mamleshwar Temple(Fourth Jyotirlinga). We reached at Ujjain Station and again our train was from Ujjain to Omkareshwar). We reached in very early morning and took some hot tea (as there was cold as we were not expected), then we started our journey with the people who also were coming to the same place. We reached at Omkareshwar, there is mountain called (Omkar Parwat), As per the ritual we should first go around and then take the Darshan. We started our journey for Omkareshwar Parwat Parikrama. It took around 3 hours to reach us at the Omkareshwa Temple. But our journey was so interesting and happy because we saw so many places within that and Old temples (Big Hanuman Ji, Old Shiva Linga) and the best was all over around there was Shirmad Bhagwad Gita wriiten on stone, so while moving you can also enjoy the Gita also. We reached at temple and took the Darshan and again we crossed the river by boat and come to the place (Mamleshwaram) as both are considered as a same Linga. It was very much enjoyable and memorial Trip with Arvind Ji, who managed things in very short but memorable and thanks to Mr. Deepak Kushwaha (Deepu) to manage us to stay there at Ashram (Chardham). Really we will never forget this memorable journey in our life.

“Akaal Mrityua se wo mare jo kaam kare Chandaal ka, Kaal bhi uska kya kare jo bhakt ho Mahakaal ka”

Jai Mahakaal

The Highest Peak Point of Maharashtra (1646 meter) - The Kalsubai Trek

Hello Guys,

Kalsubai Peak is the highest peak of the Sahyadris in Akole Taluka, of Ahmednagar district of Maharashtra state. 'Kalsubai' temple is located at the top most peak of Sahyadri mountain range of Maharastra.

Here are the most point is, Arvind was never told me that it is the highest and top most peak of maharastra (and even I was also not aware). But fortunately we did it very easily and in a very funniest way.

Mr. Rishikesh Kulkarni was the Group Leader of our Trek. He is the guy we have no words to say about his courage, energy and motivations to the team. Hats off the guy.

Thanks to Rishikesh who gave us the chance to be the part his team and Mr. Arvind Trivedi.

We started our journey at night from Goregaon, and had one halt in mid way and slept in the Bus (the first time adventure) to sleep on bus seat. But was so interesting to move around petrol pump at the mid of night.

We reached at the base village, where our journey about to start and we hired one guy (forgot the name) from village and had with us to start the journey and food at his home. Food was so delicious and we really enjoyed the food very much.

Here are some pics.
