Guest guest Posted August 30, 2000 Report Share Posted August 30, 2000 s h i v a D A R S H A N When Shiva holds the center of the stage, the role of the personalized Brahman is colored with death and destruction. Shiva's stern asceticism casts a blight over the fields of rebirth. His presence negates and transcends the kaleidoscope of sufferings and joys. Nevertheless, he bestows wisdom and peace and is not only terrible but profoundly benign.Shiva's nature at once transcends and includes all the polarities of the living world. http://www.charm.net/~nayak/shiva.html Click Here for Shiva movie http://www.charm.net/~nayak/shiva.mov Somnath Temple Location: 79 kms. from Junagadh Famous for: One of the most sacred Shiva Shrines ---- ---------- Situated 79 Kms. from Junagadh and 25 Kms. from Chorwad, the legendary Shore temple of Somnath is one of the twelve most sacred Shiva Shrines in India.
