This is #VyasGufa where Chiranjeevi Rishi Krishn Dwaipayan,known as #VedVyas for dividing the Vedas,did Sadhna Tapasya #AdiShankaracharya also did Tapasya in this cave & taught Brahma Sutras & Upanishads to his disciples here
Its in the last village- Mana, on Indo Tibetan border
In this cave itself, #VedVyas ji gave Darshan to #AdiShankaracharya & granted him 16 more years of life to
write commentaries on #BhagavadGita & Upnishads.
Unfortunate Hindus, who instead of absorbing those energies, come here to make reels & click selfies.. govts give a damn!
Sanctity of the precious sthal is marred by pink chuna painted on it, some cheap construction in & around it & the Macchi bazaar of uninformed Hindus- an example of ones who are hell bent upon ruining their heritage!
I sat in dhyan there for 3 consecutive days in spite of all!
This shop also happens to be a part of the cheap structure built around #VyasGufa & is flocked with selfie crazy crowd.. #VedVyas who, why, who cares!!
If there’s one thing that Hindus need to fight, it is there own self that demeans #SanatanDharma , its heritage & traditions!
Here is an example of the unfortunate Hindu youth who got nothing in the name of Sanskar from their parents! #Rishikesh flocked with youth & mid aged has already been turned into Goa.
Their ilks in #Tunganath & #Kedarnath were also busy making reels & clicking selfies!
Thank you all my tweep family for your concern about us being in #Badrinath during the #RedAlert with mobile networks down.
Had the fortune of getting peaceful & long Darshans of #BadriVishal ji 3-4 times every day- sharing some in the thread.
18th morning Darshan of Shri #Badrinath ji.
It rained constantly from 17th afternoon till 19th as if to bless us with multiple Darshans with hardly anybody around.
19th morning Darshan of #Badrinath ji 🙏🏻 the Mandir played hide & seek with the clouds .. #जय_बद्री_विशाल
अब मैं आपको आज, 12 अक्टूबर रात्रि 9.47 अष्टमी तिथि के प्रारम्भ होते ही कवल्था/ कालीमठ #Uttarakhand में माँ काली के मंदिर में विशेष पूजा के दर्शन करवाती हूँ।
मुझे इस विशेष पूजा जानकारी @alok_bhatt जी से मिली, आज संध्या 7 बजे से यहीं हूँ 🙏🏻
मंदिर में माँ काली की कोई प्रतिमा नहीं है, शुम्भ निशुम्भ, रक्तबीज के वध के बाद काली को शांत करने जब भगवान शिव उन के चरणों में लेट गए, तब माँ काली एक कुंड में अंतर्ध्यान हो गयीं। रजतपट श्री यन्त्र से ढके इस कुंड की पूजा साल में केवल शरदिया नवरात्री की अष्टमी को ही की जाती है।
अष्टमी की मध्यरात्रि को कुछ मुख्य पूजारी ही कुंड में समायी माँ काली की पूजा करते हैं, और दिव्य शक्ति दर्शन के लिए मंदिर को खोला जाता है।
दर्शन कीजिए 🙏🏻

What you must know about a #Pashmina shawl before spending a fortune to acquire one!
This special breed of goats from high altitudes of Himalayas, have a double fleece, a fine & soft undercoat of hair, mingled with straighter, much coarser outer coating of hair.
Each goat sheds its winter coat, from which the usable #Pashmina fiber is 80 to 150gm only. It’s extremely delicate & is about 12-13.5 microns thin & for this very reason it can be only hand spun. Whereas the Pashmina products available today are 99% made from machine made thread
The fiber is then separated from the coarse hair & washed to be spun into thread.
Only skilled hands can spin the delicate #Pashmina fibre. One artisan can spin just 20 grams/ day, meaning 15-20 days of spinning will get yarn needed for one shawl.

#अक्षय_तृतीया को विष्णुजी दो ऋषियों
नर नारायण के रूप में अवतरित हुए जिनकी तपस्या से संसार में सुख शांति का विस्तार हुआ
द्वापर में दोनों ने #श्रीकृष्ण व अर्जुन बन लीला रची
केदार-बदरीवन में उन्होंने जिन पार्थिव लिंग की पूजा की, वह शिव रूपी केदारेश्वर ज्योतिर्लिंग हुए- शिव पुराण
नर-नारायण ने घोर तपस्या से केदारेश्वर व बदरीकाश्रम में विष्णु के विग्रहरूप की स्थापना की- महाभारत
केदारेश्वर ज्योतिर्लिंग के आसपास पांडवों ने मंदिर निर्माण किया, #आदि_शंकराचार्य ने मंदिर का पुनर्निर्माण किया,
आगे चलकर राजा भोज ने भव्य मंदिर का निर्माण कराया। #Kedarnath
