Somnath Mahadev Mandir History

Ancient Glory of Somnath temple

Somnath Prabhas khsetra ke naam se jana jata hai ye hindu pavitra jagaho me se ek jagah hai.Iska itihas aur purano aadi kai jagaho me sandarbh paya jata hai.
Somnath mandir ke Garbha Gruh ko humesha hire aur ratno se chamkta damakta rakha gaya hai,yaha Nanda deep Hamesha kanauji attar se prakashit rakha gaya tha.Mandir ka khajana bahot hi bada aur hamesha surakshit raakha jata tha.

Bhagvan ki pucha aur Abhishek ke liye Chandan sugandhit pani humesha Haridwar,Prayag aur Kashi se laya jata hai.Jab ki kisi khas dharmik prasang par ful Kashmir se laye jate hai. Har roz ki rojinda puja ke liye 1000 Brahmins ko nirdharit kia gaya hai.Aur takriban Hajar se jyada nrutya karo ko har roj nrutya ke liya nirdharit kia jata tha.
Puja ka ye dharmik athal das hajar gaao jitna dhan upaj kar raha tha. Iss Mandir ko 12 jyotirlingo me se prathmik jyotirling mana jata hai,Kyu ke yaha ke jyotirling ko swayambhu mana jata raha hai ye hamesha jagrit rehta hai. Yaha lakho shradhhalu darshan ke labh lete hai aur khud ko dhanya mehsus karte hai. Yaha karodo Shadhdhalu karodo rupaye daan kar ke hamesha somnath ko ek dhanvan mandir rakha hai,.

Sthala Purana Of Lord Somnath Mandir

Chandra pahele the jinhone somnath ka vardan prapt kia ho.
Skand Puran Prabhas kand ke anusar, Somnath ki katha is tarah hai
.
Chandra ne Daksha ki 27 betiyo se shadi ki thi per wo rohini se jyada pyar karta tha, Baki 26 patnio ko bahot hi apman aur upekshit mahesus kia wo sab apne pati se nirash hogai aur iski shikayat apne pitaji se ki.Dakhsa apni betio ko aise dukhi dekh ke bahot dukhi hue, aur apne jamai ko samjane ki bahot koshish ki  per Chandra ne unki ek nai suni aur Chandra ko Daksha ne shrap dia ke uskaaakar kum ho jaega.

Chandra ko ye shrap milne se sare Dev pareshan ho gae aur sare Dev mil ke is Bhrahma ji ke pas is samasya ka nivaran dhundh ne pahoche, Bhramha ji ne unhe bataya ki iss shrap se chhutne ke liye ek hi rasta hai aur wo hai Prabhas Kshetra Maha Mrutyunjay per Vrishabh Shankar ko puja prarthana karna. Chandra 6 mahino ke liye tapasya pe chala gaya aur ant me bhagvan Shiv ne prasanna ho kar pragat hue aur Chandra ko vardan diya ke Ek mahine me pandrah din uska aakar badhega aur pandrah din uska aakar gatega, isse Chandra bahot khush hua aur yaha Shankar khud Chandra ke liye pragat hone per Shankar Someshwar ke naam se prasiddh hue, Aur Devo ne yaha Someshwar naam ka kund banvaya aur ye mana jata hai ke iss kund me dubki lagane se insan ke sare pap dhul jaate hai.

Chandra ko Som bhi kaha jata hai issliye Ye Jyotirling Somnath ke naam se prasidhh hua aur Chandra bahot prakashit hota hai to is jagah ko Prabhaspattana se bhi jana ja raha hai.
 Fir Somnath mandir Ravana ke dhwara Treda yug me banaya aur VikramAaditya ne kaliyuga darmiyan banaya.

Somnath Mandir

 

Somnath temple is the holy place of the Aadi Jyotirling Shree Somnath Mahadev and the sacred soil from where Bhagvan Shri Krishna took his last journey to his neejdham. 

Somnath temple stands at the shore of the Arabian ocean on the western corner of Indian subcontinent in Gujarat State. This pilgrimage is one of the oldest and finds its reference in the ancient texts like Skandpuran, Shreemad Bhagavat, Shivpuran etc. The hymn from Rig-Veda quoted below mention the Bhagvan Someshwar along with the great pilgrimage like Gangaji, Yamunaji and Eastward Saraswati. This signifies the ancient value of this Tirthdham.

Somnath is in Prabhas Patan very near to Veraval Gujarat.  

The Moon God is said to have been relieved from the curse of his father-in-law Daksha Prajapati by the blessings of Bhagvan Somnath.  In  the Shiva  Purana  and Nandi  Upapurana, Shiva  said, `I  am  always present everywhere  but  specially  in  12  forms  and places as  the  Jyotirlingas`. Somnath is one of  these 12 holy places. This is the first among the twelve holy Shiva Jyotirlings. 

The  shore  temple of Somnath is  believed  to  have  been  built  in  4  phases-in  gold  by  Lord Soma,  in  silver  by  Ravi,  in wood  by  lord  Krishna  and  in  stone  by  King Bhimadeva. 

It has withstood the six-repeated desecration by the Muslim invaders. The very existence of this temple is symbol of reconstructive spirit and cultural unity of our society.

The seventh existing temple is built in the Kailas Mahameru Prasad style. The Iron man of India Sardar Shri Vallabhbhai Patel is the pioneer of the existing temple.

The temple is consisting of Garbhgruh, Sabhamandap and Nrityamandap with a 150 feet high Shikhar. The Kalash at the top of the Shikhar weighs 10 tons and the Dhwajdand is 27 feet tall and 1 foot in circumference. 

The Abadhit Samudra Marg, Tirsthambh (Arrow) indicates the unobstructed sea route to the South Pole.

The nearest land towards South Pole is about 9936 km. away. This is a wonderful indicator of the ancient Indian wisdom of geography and strategic location of the Jyotirling. The temple renovated by Maharani Ahalyabai is adjacent to the main temple complex.

Hari Har Tirthdham is here in Somnath. This is the holy place of Bhagvan Shri Krishna's Neejdham Prasthan Leela. The place where Bhagvan Shri Krishna was hit by an arrow of a poacher is known as Bhalka Tirtha.

 After being hit by the arrow, Bhagvan Shri Krishna arrived at the holy confluence of Hiran, Kapila and Saraswati and their Sangam with the ocean. He performed his divine Neejdham Prasthan Leela at the sacred and peaceful banks of river Hiran.

The Geetamandir is built here where the divine message of Shrimad Bhagavat Geeta is carved on eighteen marble pillars. Shri Lakshminarayan Mandir is close by. The Balramjiki Gufa is the place from where Bhagvan Shrikrishna's elder brother Balaramji took journey to his nijdham-patal.

Here is the Parshuram Tapobhumi, where Bhagvan Parshuramji carried out penance and he was relieved from the sin of Kshatriya killings. The Pandavas have said to have visited this place and taken holy bath in the Jalprabhas and built five Shiv temples.

 The Somnath Trust  has endeavored to develop the whole Shri Krishna Neejdham Prasthan Tirtha in an wholesome manner.
