In the original game, square 12 was Faith, 51 was Reliability, 57 was Generosity, 76 was Knowledge, and 78 was Asceticism. These were the squares where the ladder was placed.

Good morning all. Starting the day with the thread on the origin of Kashi. Om Namah Shivay 1/n Once Lord Shiva told Goddess Parvati Devi that at the time of pralaya (deluge) all the three, that is, himself (Lord Shiva), Parvati Devi and the place Kashi got manifested simultaneously by the grace of ‘Aadi Purusha’, that is, The Almighty God Bhagavan Sri Vishnu.

Once upon a time, Bhagavan and Sage Veda Vyasa Ji (he is an avatar of Bhagavan Sri Vishnu) came to Kashi with his disciples and went for Bhiksha (holy offering of food for sadhus).

But at that time no one gave them the Bhiksha. They all slept with empty stomach in the city of Annapurna Devi.

This same condition continued for seven days.

Bhagavan Sri Veda Vyasa Ji got angry and was prepared to curse the place Kashi.
