Reg. Ujjain

[Guest guest]

Respected Rajitha,

 

My salutations to you.

 

There is also another speciality to Ujjain. Ujjain has also got astronomical

significance. There used to be ancient Royal Observatory here like Greenwich in

England. Ujjain was the point or place which is meeting point of Meridians.

Rest of the places in the world are taken with reference to Ujjain. Latitudes

and Longitudes are taken to be 0 degrees here. The Univerversal Time as per

astronomical charts is calculated with reference to Ujjain.

 

Taking into consideration the Royal Observatory and calculations of Universal

Time, probably the name " Maha Kaal " (The Great Universal Time) has been coined

to this Jyotirlinga.

 

With regards,

sriram

I am sorry if this has been mentioned before. When Vishnu shattered

the body of Sati into pieces the right wrist fell in Ujjain. This

place became the Pitha of Mangalachandika along with the Bhairava

appearing as KapilAmbara. When my family returned to India many years

ago my parents were filled with the urge to visit Shakti Pithas and we

went to many of them. It was my first real experience of India but I

found a deep connection in this Pitha (and also others). As per our

parampara it is near Ujjain near the jyotirlinga of Mahakaleshvara.

Three years later during my class 10 vacations we went to see

Dakshinakali in Bengal. There we heard that according to their

Parampara the Pitha of Mangalachandi was in Bengal. My father decided

we should visit it and somehow we made our way there through

completely unfamiliar terrain and language. Interestingly the Bengali

Pitha is also called something like Ujjain. It was a quiet and old

Tirtha but my the old image of Mangalachandi from the temple is kept

in a museum in Calcutta. Similarly Bhramara-durga is also also there

in Madhya Pradesh and also Bengal. If one does not have initiation in

Mangalachandi one should visit Ujjain during Navaratri and go to the

Pitha.
