Have you worshiped Pancha Lingas of Kashi?
There are many Shiva-lingas in Kashi. But Kurma Purana enumerates 5 most important Shiva-lingas, without which one's Kashi yatra is not complete. When one visits Kashi, one has to have darshan of these Pancha Lingas.
When Vyasadeva visited Kashi with his disciples, He showed them these five shiva-lingas & proclaimed that anyone who has dashan of these five shiva-lingas shall achieve special grace of Mahadev. One will be liberated from the shackles of birth & death. #HarHarMahadevॐ#Varanasi

How our Ancient Indians use to calculate space according to Srimad Bhagawatham. #Thread
Lets start from India: India is a part of South Asia; Asia is one of the continent in the world;
This world is nothing but Earth. The whole Earth is known as Bhooh.
In Bhooh we have seven Dweepams known as Jambu, Plaksha, Shalmali, Kusha, Kraunca, Shaka, Pushkara Dweepams respectively. India is in Jambudweepam.
Above Bhooh there are seven layers/lokas named as Bhuvah, Suvah, Mahah, Janah, Tapah, Satyam
Similarly, Below Earth there are
another seven layers/Lokas called as Atala, Vitala, Sutala, Rasathala, ThalaaThala, Mahathala, Pathala.
seven lokas above & seven Lokas below Earth respectively. So we call (Eer Yezhu Lokam in Tamil) means 7X2=14 Lokas
All these 14 lokas including Earth looks like an egg.

A kutty #Story
Teacher addresses a student & asks: “How many kidneys do we have?"
“Four!", The backbencher student responds.
“Four? Haha,” The teacher was one of those who took pleasure in picking on his students' mistakes and demoralizing them.
“Bring a bundle of grass, because we have a donkey in the room," the teacher orders a front bencher.
“And for me a coffee!”, the backbencher student added.
The teacher was furious & expelled the student from the room.
The student was, by the way, a famous humorist namely
Aparicio Torelly Aporelly (1895-1971), better known as the "Baron de Itararé".
On his way out of the classroom, the student still had the audacity to correct the furious teacher:
"You asked me how many kidneys‘ *we have*. "We have four: two of mine & two of yours. *‘We have’*

the Moorthies & handed them over to Swami Eknath Maharaj of Paithan. Later these Moorthies were handed over to the Guru of Shri Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj, Shri Swami Samarth Ramdas.

The moorthies have been worshiped since then by the Gurus of Narayan Ashram in Harihar. There was a huge celebration in Harihar after the Ayodhya verdict. The people of Harihar &
