Guest guest Posted November 17, 2005 Report Share Posted November 17, 2005 Shri Mallikarjuna This is situated on mountain named Shri Shaila by the banks of the Patal Ganga, Krishna river in the state of Andhra Pradesh of Southern India. It is also known as Kailash of the south. It is said that by merely seeing the tip of mountain one is emancipated from all his sins and worries. The person becomes free from the vicious cycle of life and death. This Jyotirlinga is situated on the divine Shiv Shaila Mountain. The architecture of the temple is very beautiful and intricate. Every year there is a fair organised because of Mahashivratri, Just adjacent to the temple is another holy shrine of Goddess Jagdamba. Here she is known as Bhramaramba. According to Shiva Purana, when Shri Ganesh was married of before Kartikeya, and because of this Kartikeya became angry, and despite being stopped and consoled by his parents Shiv-Parvati, went away to the Kraunch Mountain. Even the Gods went and tried consoling Kartikeya, but all their efforts were in vain, because of all this Shiv-Parvati were very sad and both decided that they would to Kraunch mountain themselves. When Kartikeya came to know that his mother-father has arrived, he went away. Eventually Lord Shiva assumed the form of Jyotirlinga and resided on that mountain by the name of Mallikarjuna. Mallika means Parvati, while Arjuna is another name of Shiva. In this way both Shiva and Parvati, reside in this linga. The people who visit this Jyotirlinga are emancipated from all their sins and all their desires are fulfilled. It is for the welfare and well-being of everyone.

I was blessed to be at SRI SAILAM on the MAHASIVARATRI night in 2004. It was wonderful to see hundred of thousands of devotees wearning Rudrakshas mala and chanting bhajans. There were indescribable spiritual atmosphere.I was awake for the whole night and I enjoyed every second of the night, I was immersed in the Bliss of Siva . I would humbly urge Siva's devotees to make a Pilgrimage to SRI SAILAM especially on a MAHASIVARATRI. This place is indeed Kailash of the South. Without doubt it will bring a great benefit to your spiritual journey towards Siva. Namah Sivaya _________ Messenger - NEW crystal clear PC to PC calling worldwide with voicemail http://uk.messenger.
