Dear Sai Brother,

 

Trust this will find you and your family in good health coupled with

happiness thanks to the showering of the choicest Blessings of our Gracious

Bhagawan.

 

We are happy to receive your E-Mail containing the information about

12 Jyothi Lingams located in India. This reveals the association of

spirituality with the Indian culture from time immemorial. By the consecration

of the 12 Jyothi lingams India has shown the Divine way for propagating the

significance of the worship of Lord Shiva.

The episode of Vaidyanathaa is very much fascinating. Lord Shiva gives

one of the 12 Jyothi lingams to Ravana assuring Ravans€ ¦’²s strong meditation

for a boom. Shiva imposes a condition that if Ravana places the Jyothi lingam

on the ground it world be rooted to the ground permanently. But Lord Shiva

creates circumstances, which made the Jyothi lingam to be placed on the earth

and Jyothi Lingam got rooted to the earth. Ravana gets disappointed and offered

severe penance to Lord Shiva and cut off nine of His heads to sow his repentance

before Shiva.

Shiva was moved by the repentance shown by Ravana and did the Divine operation

of refixing the 9 severed heads to the body of Ravana. Shiva as acted as a

doctor or a Vaidya hence this Jyothi lingam is called as Vadiyanath.

In Rameshwaram the Temple of Ramanathaswar is adored with one of the twelve

Jyothi lingams. This Jyothi lingam was worshipped by Lord Rama during his

return from Sri Lanka after killing the Ravana towards off the Sai of killing

Ravana in the battle.

Hanuman brought linga from Kailash for the worship of Lord Rama. But hanuman was

late in reaching Rameshwaram hence Sita Devi created a Shiva lingam out of the

sands for the worship of Lord Rama. When hanuman arrived with lingam he cave to

know what happened and felt very sad that Lord Rama could not the sacred lingam

brought by Him from the Abode of Lord Shiva. Lord Rama pacified hanuman and

christened the lingam as KASIVIWANATHAR. Devotees have to worship this linga,

of KASIVIWANATHAR before worshipping Lord Rama or Ramanathar.

While consecrating the Sri Rama Pariwar statues before Sai Kulwant hall the day

before the Sri Sai Padhugaa Pooja in the year 1999 our Bhagawan manifested a

replica of the sacred lingam through His Divine hands for protecting the Ram

Pariwars.

The Kothanada Rama Temple in Dhanushkodi is located on the very spot where

vibshena sought refuge to Rama. At Nageshear Lord Shiva helps His staunch

Devotees supriya and by killing the demon DARUGA and his wife Parvathi to same

Supriya from tature. Shiva gave Dharshan to all His Devotees as Nageshwara.

Hence the Jyothi lingam is known Nagaeshwara Jyothi lingam. This has two faces

the lingam facing south and Gomiga, face last to satisfy the wish of a Devotee

that the Lord exists in all directions. Bheema shankara is another Jyothi

lingam village.

 

Thanking You,

 

Ever in Sai Padha Seva,

P.S.A.S.Srinivasan,

President.
