The cave in foot of #Kailash parvatam
There is a cave in foot of the Kailash Parvat that might be hundreds of miles long. Yogis in ancient time r said to have taken samadhi there & practiced meditation. Several human bones've been found within hundred metre depth of the cave. 🧵
On the entrance of the cave you can hear some faint music whose audibility rises when u go further inside. Its some sort of naad comprising of tabla, damru, war horn. The sources of the sound haven’t been found yet.
Surprisingly the oxygen level is better inside the cave than

outside & it has an alien smell. The temperature inside the cave increases like any other cave & couple of hundred meters, the temperature become unbearable thus limiting a human body to go much deeper. You feel a strange vibration in your body as you go inside.

#Thread about #Pradosham

Pradosham means ‘removal of sins.’Pradosha Kalam is best time to offer prayers to Bhagwan Shiva.

Pradosha Kalam-4:30pm to 6pm 13thday(Trayodasi) comes twice in a month -Moon’s waxing (Shukla Paksha)&waning(Krishna Paksha)fortnights is very auspicious.
#storytimethread
Prasodha Kala Pooja has immense importance there is a legend story.This story is related to the churning of milky ocean by Devas & Asuras using Mandara mountain as the center rod & serpent Vasuki as churning rope, to obtain Amrith for their immortality.
It was during this time that Shiva is believed to have consumed lethal Alahala poison for saving the world from its evil effects.
Parvathi Devi held his throat to avoid the poison to reach inside his body.Because of that Shiva’s neck turned Blue - so the name Neelakanta

#storytimethread -

Khara,an asura did severe penance to attain moksha.Shiva was pleased gave 3 Shiva linga.Khara carried one each in either hands & one by his neck.He got tired & put the idols down,rested a while. When he woke up,he realised that he couldn't lift the idols.
2/n
These 3 lingas are the ones that are being worshiped at Vaikom, Kaduthuruthy &Ettumanoor in Kottayam district.

The distance from Vaikom to Kadathuruthy & from there to Ettumanoor is almost equal.Darshan of all these 3 Lingas on the same day is considered a great boon.
