The Kashi Vishwanath Temple

Shree Kashi Vishwanath is one of 12th Jyotirlinga and 9th no. on the western bank of river Ganga.  As the name stand Kashi (old name of the city Varansi). As per the history record varansi  is the oldest city of the world and very much interconnected with Hindu Culture. The Name Kashi – Vishwanath (the lord of universe) Shree Bholenath people used to called the city as “Bhole Nagri”.

People of varansi are very much cultural and much devotee of Lord Shiva.  As it is very much ancient city on earth, there are very large number of temples has existence.

There are major temples of Lord Shiva (Kashi Vishwanath), Lord Hanuman (Sankat Mochan), Maa Durga (Durga Kund), Saint Tulsi Daas (Tulsi Manas Mandir), Sarnath (where Gautam Buddha first taught the Dharma), Maa Sheetla (Sheetla Ghat). The Ganga a sacred place to bath at special occasion like Amawashya, Purnima the holy occasion of the Hindus rituals)               

I was very much impatient to visit the temple since long time, but unfortunately there was no schedule and one saying “If Lord Shiva will call, then only you can meet them”.

This time I decided to visit and luckily my Jiju (Mr. Sunil Chaubey) also supported me to fullfill my wishes. And I started my journey very early morning @8:00 O’clock and by running my bike 50 k.m we reached at River Ganga and took bath over there. After the bath we visited Shree Kashi Vishwanath temple and took darshan, I was very much blessed with Lord Shiva. After Darshan we decided to visit the place Maa Durga Temple (Durga kund) it’s very much ancient story of king where Maa Durga helps him and stayed forever. The next we decided to visit the most famous and ancient Hanuman Ji temple (Shree Sankat Mochan) and Shree Tulsi Manas Mandir where Saint Tulsi Das Ji wrote his very much famous and ancient epic “Shree Ram Charit Manas”.

I was not even aware of there is one more temple of Shree Lord Siva (the new Kashi Vishwanath Temple) at campus of BHU (Banaras Hindu University) the one of oldest university.

We enjoyed very much and even we were no ready to leave the holy place. I hope people should visit the place once in the life.

May Lord Shiva give you prosperous and healthy life…
