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.
