Devatma Himalayas: Since ancient times, sages and sages have been coming and going to do penance in the Himalayas. Even today, there are many such saints and live in the Himalayas. According to Mundakopanishad, there is a union of subtle-edged souls. Their center is located in Uttarakhand in the Himalayan litigants. This is called Devatma Himalayas. Devatam Himalayas start from Badrinath which extends to Mount Kailash. On going to Badrinath, the sage expressed directly in contact with sages, goddesses and deities. Therefore, if you go here with good spirit and devotion, then all your wishes will be fulfilled.
Why does the small four dham hold importance: While Kedarnath is considered a place for Lord Shankar to rest, Badrinath is called the eighth Vaikuntha of the universe, where Lord Vishnu lives in sleep for 6 months and awakes for 6 months. Here the statue of Badrinath is made from Shalagramshila, in the quadrilateral Dhyanamudra. Here Nar-Narayan Vigraha is worshiped and Akhand lamp burns, which is a symbol of immovable enlightenment.
There are two mountains in the Kedar Valley- Nar and Narayan mountain. One of the 24 incarnations of Vishnu is the tapobhoomi of Nara and Narayana Rishi. Pleased with his tenacity, Shiva appeared in Kedarnath. It is said that Badrinath Dham was founded in Satyuga by Narayan. After visiting Lord Kedareshwar Jyotirlinga, seeing Lord Nar-Narayan in Badri region destroys all the sins of man and he also gets life-liberation. This intention is also expressed in the Koti Rudra Samhita of Shivpuran.Also Read: Keep these things in mind before going on a small Char Dham Yatra of Uttarakhand
Char Dham Yatra gives 10 virtuous fruits:
1. Sin is destroyed and freedom from birth death: By doing this journey, all the sins of man are destroyed. There is a saying that ‘Jo ja jaye badri, she na aay odari’. That is, a person who sees Badrinath, does not have to come again in the womb. According to the Shiva Purana, after reaching Kedartirtha, worshiping Kedarnath Jyotirlinga there, the person who drinks the water there is not reborn.
2. Age increase: There is frequent walk in pilgrimage. Walking causes the body to be compounded and confirmed. The thighs, arms, pulse and meat are satisfied. By pilgrimage, a person has to face every kind of climate, due to which he becomes healthy and gets new experiences. Pure air on the mountains communicates new life. Age increases.
3. Through the paths of enlightenment: Through this, a person is not only familiar with the entire people of the country, their culture, language, history, religion and tradition etc., but he also opens the way of intellect and enlightenment within himself. By traveling a pilgrimage, the person not only develops the intellect of understanding about himself, about people, but also shows the goal and purpose of his life. Often people go on pilgrimage in the last stop of life, but what he went to youth, he only got everything. He is a mature and experienced person.
4. Get a chance to know the dynasty: The pilgrim priest knows his total family by meeting Panda. There is a chance to stay in the ashrams of ascetic, manswi, monk, saint etc. If you do not stay in their ashram, then there is a chance to meet them, due to which mental benefits are available.
5. Nature has philosophy, increasing experience: From the journeys, we can see how the earth is, how is nature, how are the cities, villages and towns. There are very beautiful nature philosophy in this journey. We have new experiences from Chardham Yatra, our memories and thinking increases. We are educated. Many people leave one city and roam another city. This shows them to know where they get and how many are found. By doing this, they can start the business in their city that does not happen in their city. There are many things that are not happening in your city. If you travel, you will know what is not happening in your city, village or town. Like some people come here after learning from America and give something new to their city. Similarly, some people go abroad with their knowledge and give them something new there.
From visits, we get to know the language, glory and food of different culture and religion. Only from the trips can know how people are, how their views are and so we can decide how we are. Many types of colors are filled in life with trips. So keep traveling. During the pilgrimage, a person tries to know his country and religion.
