"Gajendra Moksha" a prayer, addressed to Lord Vishnu by Gajendra, the King Elephant, is one of the most magnificent hymns of bhakti from the Bhagavat Mahapuran, embellished with the jnana and vairagya of the Upanishads. It is a legend from the 8th Skandha of Srimad Bhagavatam

where Lord Vishnu comes down to earth to protect Gajendra (King Elephant) from the clutches of death of a Crocodile. The story runs as follows. In one of the secluded valleys of Mount Trikota, which was surrounded by the Ocean of Milk and intersected by lakes and rivers of

various sizes and shapes, there was a beautiful garden that belonged to Varuna, the Lord of the oceans. Once a family of elephants, which inhabited the forest on the mountain, entered the garden led by their mammoth chief, Gajendra, and made it to a big lake in it to drink water

माता के 51 शक्तिपीठों में से एक ऐसा चमत्कारी शक्तिपीठ है जहां की मान्यता है की यहां स्तंभ पर दीया लगाने से हर मन्नत पूरी होती है। इस मंदिर में दीप स्तंभों की स्थापना राजा विक्रमादित्य ने करवाई थी। यदि अनुमान लगया जाए तो दीप स्तंभ 2 हजार साल से अधिक पुराने हैं।

क्योंकि राजा विक्रमादित्य का इतिहास भी करीब 2 हजार साल पुराना है। इस स्थान पर देवी सती की कोहनी गिरी थी, जिसके बाद यहां शक्तिपीठ स्थापित हो गया। मंदिर में लोगों की आकर्षण का केंद्र यहां प्रांगण में मौजूद 2 दीप स्तंभ हैं। यह स्तंभ लगभग 51 फीट ऊंचे हैं, दोनों दीप स्तंभों में मिलाकर

लगभग 1 हजार 11 दीपक हैं। कहा जाता है की इस स्तंभों पर दीप जलाना बहुत ही कठीन है।

यह अद्भुत शक्तिपीठ मध्य प्रदेश के उज्जैन जिले में हरसिद्धि मंदिर के नाम से प्रसिद्ध है। वैसे तो हर समय ही यहां भक्तों की भीड़ रहती है। लेकिन नवरात्रि के समय और खासकर यहां आश्विन नवरात्रि के अवसर पर

During the month of Shravan, the Vata component of a person gets higher in proportion. During that period, a person must avoid food that increases the Vata component. For example, green leafy vegetable contain higher amounts of Vata in them.

Thus a person is asked to avoid them during the rainy season (especially Shravan month) to avoid the ailments caused due to excess of Vata.
During the rainy season, the cattle also eat lots of green grass, and hence their milk is high in Vata and, in modern times, is succeptible

to viral infections. Hence, milk is considered harmful during the Shravan month. Thus Ayurved advices us against consuming milk during Shravan.
Hinduism says “Feed to others only what you can eat for yourself (Which means, do not offer to others what you will never consume),

This map was translated from a verse from Mahabharata where Dhrithrashtra asks Sanjay, how world looks like from space.The verses are from ‘Jamvu-khanda Nirmana Parva’, which in turn is within the Bhishma Parva book of the Mahabharata. Sanjay says, O son of Kuru’s race, I will,

however, describe to thee the island called Sudarsana. This island, O king, is circular and of the form of a wheel. It is covered with rivers and other pieces of water and with mountains looking like masses of clouds, and with cities and many delightful provinces.

It is also full of trees furnished with flowers and fruits, and with crops of diverse kinds and other wealth. And it is surrounded on all sides with the salt ocean. As a person can see his own face in a mirror, even so is the island called Sudarsana seen in the lunar disc.
