Guest guest Posted July 20, 2002 Report Share Posted July 20, 2002 Srimathe Ramanujaya Namaha: Srimadh Vara Vara Munaye Namaha: Ever wondered, the latest advancement of science & technology where, even satilites are sent to other planets. The so called expeditions are done in pacific ocean to find what is hidden at the bottom of the ocean? I found a rare article in a site, sounds quite interesting. (Url: http://www.spiritualguides.net/Indiastate/UPCentral/CentralUP.htm#Naim isaranya ) ------------ Chakra Tirtha Kund (Phuskarini in Naimisarnya Divya Desam. UP) At the junction of Dwapara and Kali-yuga, 80,000 sages headed by Saunaka Rishi wanted to perform a sacrifice to hold off the effects of the oncoming age of Kali. They asked Lord Brahma where they should hold the sacrifice, and he told them he would send his disc to the earth and they should perform the sacrifice where it hit. It struck the earth at Naimisaranya. The disc passed through the earth at this spot, Chakra-tirtha. The Bhagavat Purana says there is no holy place on earth that compares to this one. Chakra-tirtha is said to be the center of the universe. It is said that the large sweet-water spring that marks the location of Chakra- tirtha has no bottom. The British wanted to disprove this as mythology, so they brought a cable and attempted to find the bottom. After more than 1000 metres (3300 ft) they ran out of cable and gave up. ----------- Adiyen Ramanuja Dasan, K.M. Shantha Kumar. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
