Siva Purana Vidyesvara Samhita translated by Shastri 1973

[Guest guest]

Dear Friend

 

Namaskar and thank you for your message........in this age we all

have to do some of the work ourselves.......is part of the learning

process.....my suggestion to you is to start your investigation

specific to your questions by going to Google Search Engine and

entering the words you need to research..........if you do the work

you reap the rewards.........if I tell you outright all you have is

the information and there is a difference if you research your

questions on your own.......try the words Gangetic Plain India and

place the words of any of the items mentioned in the search

engine..........Gauda Land is listed in the Siva Purana footnotes as

an area that has been mentioned on this group site before......it

extends in a giant Land Mandala from the Hills of Nepal above Bengal

to as far south as Orissa........this is Gauda Land where the

favourite beads of Lord Siva are Grown........the Nepal Rudraksha

Forest in the Arun Valley below Mount Everest is the last of the

original Rudraksha Forest that once covered much more territory in

ancient history

 

Wishing you the best of luck on your search..........in the US you

can find Siva Purana at www.natarajbooks.com...........they are a

good set of books to study

 

Rudra Center India and America
