SOMNATH TRIP By Monika Mishra

 !! Har Har Mahadev !! Lord Shiva!! Hail Lord Shiva !!! bless us with your serenity and your mightiness !!!!

Ok ! UMMMMM.... HMMMMM ......... In Description I talked about Science is the son of God our Lord Almighty ....... I find it super correct to say this because I am going to jot down my experience while I visited One of the !2 Jyotirlingas on the Planet Earth Our Mother Earth and trust me when I say its the perfect example of Science and Miracle.

Well !! Our Mother Land India is the land of incarnations of Lord Vishnu !! It is said that Our Lord Vishnu is the symbol of peace and serenity. Thus, whenever evil forces surpasses peacefulness Lord Vishnu Takes birth on Earth to heal and establish peace amongst people. Hail Lord Vishnu !!!!

Now , if I talk about Lord Shiva he is everything so powerful and exotic , he is starting and end of everything present on this Earth .. ultimate power supply science miracles and what not. He is the creator and destroyer, he is full of energy source of positivity and peacefulness. He is the perfect example of emotions, feelings and an equation impossible to solve with your bare and mere intensions.

I mean whatever I say about him is less and backed with lots of curiosity. Questions which will answered with the intensions to belong to him. Am I really correct or not ?

Note : !!!!All the beautiful people who are going to read this article do drop in Yellow Heart if you are the follower of Lord Shiva and you believe in him , do share and like it if you are also very curious and want to know more about him visiting the places and trying to know him , do comment if you are more or less the disciple of Lord Shiva and just want to belong to him. !!!!

Lets now talk about the divine place Somnath, one of the 12 Jyotirlingas in India and On our Mother Earth . Its said to be the Adi Jyotirlingas of the 12 present on the Earth. Adi means "First " and Jyotirlinga means " Symbol Of Light". Somnath has a great history and lots of events happened back then.

As per Shiv Puran one of the holy book of mythology says its the place where Lord "Soma" means" Moon God" prayed to lord for getting back his luster which he loosed because of a curse given by Lord Brahma's Son Daksh Prajapati as his daughters where married to Lord Moon but he only prioritized one of the daughters the most thus the rest of the daughters complained their father and this happened.

Lord Moon then prayed Lord Shiva and regained his luster here and from then this place became the very first Jyotirlinga. Somnath means "Lord of the Soma" or "moon". The site is also called  ("place of splendor"). Somnath temple has been a jyotirlinga site for the Hindus, and a holy place of pilgrimage tirtha.

The Somnath temple is located along the coastline in Prabhas Patan, Veraval, Saurashtra region of Gujarat. It is about 400 kilometers southwest of Ahmedabad, 82 kilometers south of Junagadh – another major archaeological and pilgrimage site in Gujarat. It is about 7 kilometers southeast of the Veraval railway junction, about 130 kilometers southeast of the Porbandar Airport and about 85 kilometers west of the Diu airport.

The Somnath temple is located close to the ancient trading port of Veraval, one of three in Gujarat from where Indian merchants departed to trade goods.

Many Hindu texts provide a list of the most sacred Shiva pilgrimage sites, along with a guide for visiting the site. The best known were the Mahatmya genre of texts. Of these, Somnatha temple tops the list of jyotirlingas in the Jnanasamhita – chapter 13 of the Shiva Purana, and the oldest known text with a list of jyotirlingas. Other texts include the Varanasi Mahatmya (found in Skanda Purana), the Shatarudra Samhita and the Kothirudra Samhita.All either directly mention the Somnath temple as the number one of twelve sites, or call the top temple as "Somesvara" in Saurashtra – a synonymous term for this site in these texts. The exact date of these texts is unknown, but based on references they make to other texts and ancient poets or scholars, these have been generally dated between the 10th- and 12th-century, with some dating it much earlier and others a bit later.

Over years and years its vibrancy has been destroyed and recreated but its authenticity is undefined because Lord Shiva do exists there with his bestow on the land of Saurashtra as a symbol of light. The temple is very beautiful , people there very pious and environment there is superb. Every little and big things there is heavenly; be that food , culture , heritage and environment. I experienced a lifetime scenario and I think its one of the achievements nevertheless its auspicious and honor to visit Somnath.

Sea breeze nurtures the land with its coolness and sooth. Arabian Sea nurtures the land , its superb watching and feeling it. Its heavenly a bode . Its said that the land was so rich in jewels and metals like Gold and Silver that the temple was invaded so many times by the invaders, but none could take away anything from there as its not possible to take away the blessings and energy from one place to anywhere or perform the theft on the vibrancy. Mahmud Ghazni tried to invade and capture but could not succeed at last he had to lay down in front of the Lord Shiva to confess his sins and God being such a merciful energy who teaches their kids the difference between good and bad so elegantly.

This is where you can say exactly that Science is the son of Mythology . Whatever happens in the world is because of some reason and we should be calm and peace in understanding the mixture of Science and Mythology.

Thus, concludingly I would like to describe about the direction compass which is naturally established that the direction of South pole is just straight way from the Temple's Jyotirlinga 9,963 KMs (Nautical Miles). Its simply miracle and has some connection with Kaliyuga and the 10Th Incarnation of Lord Vishnu as" KALKI ". And surprisingly , if you are aware of the great Jaganath Puri Dham , its just in straight line in the State of Odisha on the banks of Bay of Bengal thus, again a mystery and miracle because its said that Our Lord Krishna's Heart is in the idol of Krishna In Jaganath Puri Dham. There is some connection and still a question unsolved.

Well this connection is my solution based on my experience and some findings.

THANKS FOR READING IT. FOR MORE UPDATES I WILL BACK SOON . TILL THEN KEEP SAYING OM NAMAH SHIVAY !! HAIL LORD VISHNU !!. KEEP SAFE AND SOUND .
