to the one stated in the Vishnu Puran.Summarizing the pages of Vishnu Puran, we come across that when humans evolve, their average life span reduces along with their size.
Rama, the eighth avatar of Lord Vishnu documented to be 8 ft. tall. He ruled over Ayodhya for several years

The Internet has become an active source of false and manipulated content. You must be aware of the knowledge you seek. Many people have misunderstood the real meaning of linga in 'Shiva Linga.' The western world has compared linga to a sex organ many times. But, the word linga

consists of a deeper meaning.

The word 'linga' in Sanskrit means symbol (chinha). Moreover, the Agama text explains by breaking the literal meaning into two primary pieces where 'ling' means to dissolve or destroy whereas 'ga' means to emerge or create. The intended meaning is

that we all are creations of Lord Shiva (universe), and at the end, we all dissolve back into him. Thus, Shiva Linga marks the cosmos of our universe. Now, you know the real meaning of Shiva Linga. Further, you must be wondering what does the linga symbolizes.

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
