[OT} Arunachala as Lord Shiva

[Guest guest]

This is off-topic. Arunachalam is considered to be Lord Shiva. However, in

North India, parts of the Himalayas (such as the Shivling Peak), Gangotri

etc are deeply associated with Lord Shiva.

Recently, I trekked to the base of Shivling Peak as a symbolic gesture of

gratitude to Lord Shiva / Sri Ramana for ³calling² me. I kept wondering how

2 places on opposite ends of India can be associated with Lord Shiva.

Anyone have a brief answer to this.

Om Namo Ramanaya.
