Guest guest Posted February 13, 2004 Report Share Posted February 13, 2004 Thank you so much Latha for this detailed list of the 12 jyotirlingams. It will go beautifully with the Devi Mandir video... and just in time for Mahashivaratri!

Guest guest Posted February 13, 2004 Report Share Posted February 13, 2004 Namaste Lathaji & all: I am blessed to be a part of this group. Here is another website of 12 Jyotir Lingams. http://www.ujjain.nic.in/mahakaleshwar/jyoti.htm Jai Maa Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted February 13, 2004 Report Share Posted February 13, 2004 Thanks for the list. I had the shloka already. While I liked the explanation list, I was surprised they would say that Somnath was the foremost. How can one be foremost over another? Different people would consider different ones as their "foremost" if they were inclined to make such a comparison. But thanks again. I remember when I was in Jageshwar and didn't know much about this particular subject matter, that they told me it was one of the 12 Jyotir Lingams. Now I don't think so though. Jai Maa!
