Guest guest Posted December 11, 2001 Report Share Posted December 11, 2001 Ohhh NO...due to deletions club is looking without messages. OK let me fill the space with some posts on Shakti temples !<br><br> Members please note again we do not allow personal messages on this board...kindly help us keep this temple clean.tks<br>-\ --------------------------------<br>SHAKTI TEMPLES OF NORTH INDIA<br><br>India is a land of temples and one will find temple of a god or goddess in almost every village. I am giving details of some famous and Siddha Shakti temples in North India. I am giving details of only those temples where I have personally gone and felt the holy vibrations. Other bhaktas may supplement the information with details of other temples.<br><br><br>1- YOGMAYA Temple (Delhi). This is a very old temple and is also a shakti-Peethha. Yogmaya is form of eternal Mother and it is said that she once took birth at the house of Nand and was replaced by Krishna’s father to save Krishna. The little girl was brought back to the prison and when Kansa wished to kill the girl, she slipped from his hands and stood in the sky and told Kansa that his Killer has already taken birth…From there Yogmaya vanished at the place, where this temple is constructed. The temple was first got constructed by Yudhhishtara, the eldest brother of Pandavas (Mahabharata). There is no idol in the temple, but like Kamakhya temple, Yogmaya is worshipped in Yoni-form here. Meat alcolhol etc is strictly banned in this temple and the Devi is worshipped purely by Sattvic ways. Yogmaya temple is near Qutub Minaar in New Delhi.<br><br>Yogmaye Mahalaxmi Narayani Namostutey.<br><br>2 -KALI Temple. On the south eastern side of Delhi, near Okhla village, there is a small hillock, where there is a very old temple of Mahakali. This is also a Siddha Temple and Mother Kali is worshipped here in Pindi Form (a round stone of black color). It is said that this temple was also constructed by Pandavas. The temple is visited by millions of devotees, but the management of the temple is not upto mark and I wish they should keep the temple clean.<br><br><br>KALIKA DEVI Temple(Haryana) : In the fifth chapter of Durga Saptshati, it is written that when demon Shumbha and Nishumbha troubled the devas they went to Himalaya and started worshipping Devi Vishnu-maya, so that they be saved from the demons. Meanwhile Mother Parvati passed from there and asked the devas whom were they worshipping. On this Mother Shiva came out of the body of Parvati and told that the gods were worshipping Her. Since Kaushaki separated from Mother Parvati, she became black colored. It is said that this was the place where this incident happened. Mother Kalika is worshipped in this very old temple.<br><br>How to reach there : There is regular train and bus service from Delhi for Kalka city. Kalka city is on the border of Haryana and Himachal pradesh and is about 250 Kms from Delhi. The Temple is about 1 Km from main bus stand.
