When Shiva Became Yatinath

A secret that has been hidden for centuries. This is the biggest secret of Lord Shiva’s Yatinath incarnation, a secret which is hidden in the hills of Arabadachal in the desert of Rajasthan where unsolved mysteries are still burning. Do you know how Mount Abu got its original name? Do you know that there is a secret cave from where mysterious sounds are heard even today and the biggest thing is do you know why only the thumb of Lord Shiva is worshipped in Achaleshwar Mahadev temple and not the entire Shivling, today all these secrets will be revealed.

Because today’s journey will take you to those dark tunnels where thousands of years old secrets are hidden, it was a long time ago when this part of Rajasthan was a mysterious place, there was no mountain here but a huge crater. So deep that its bottom was not visible. The local people called it Chhiddha. But this was no ordinary pit. It is said that this pit led to the underworld. Strange sounds came from this pit and blue light emanated from here at night. The local tribals considered this place cursed. Its just matter of one day.

Maharishi Vashistha’s divine cow Nandini fell into this pit. This was no ordinary cow. It was the offspring of Kamadhenu who could fulfill any wish. When Nandini fell into the pit, she gave so much milk that the entire pit was filled with milk. But there is a mysterious thing here. When Lord Shiva asked Arbud Nag to fill this pit, Arbud put two conditions. First, this place should be known by my name. Secondly, supernatural powers always remained here and since then this place came to be known as Arabchal or Mount Abu. But the.

Biggest mystery is that Arabdanag is still hidden somewhere inside this mountain. Now comes the real mystery. At that time, there was a Bhil couple named Auk and Ahuka living in the foothills of the Arabian region. These two were no ordinary people. He had a secret power. He could see the future. When Auk went hunting in the forest, he knew in advance which animal he would find that day. Lord Shiva used to come and talk to Ahuka in his dreams. But both of them never told anyone about their powers. One night.

Ahuka had a strange dream. He saw a mysterious monk coming with a strange glow in his eyes. In his dream he saw that this saint was not an ordinary human being but a black shadow was following him. The next morning when Ahuka told this dream to Ahuka, he was surprised because Ahu too had had a strange dream that very night. He saw a trident floating in the air and coming towards him. It was evening There were dark clouds in the sky. Whereas it was not the rainy season. Suddenly, there was a strange chill in the air. Aak was.

Returning from the forest when suddenly he saw a figure. From a distance it seemed as if a saint was coming. But as he got closer, Ahuk realized something was different. This monk was not ordinary. There was no sound of its footsteps. Its shadow was not visible. And the strangest thing was that when this saint smiled, it seemed as if the entire forest was trembling. Auk felt a strange nervousness in his heart. But then he remembered that his father used to say that a guest is a form of God. Whoever comes to our door has a.

Part of God in him. So he welcomed the saint. Aahuk folded his hands and said, Namaskar Maharaj, please come. Welcome to our home. The sage looked at Auk and smiled. But this smile was different as if he was reading Aahuk’s mind. The sage said, son, do you recognize me? So Aak was surprised. He had never seen the saint before. Then how does he know his name? Auk said, Maharaj, I have never seen you before. The sage laughed and said, I have known you since childhood. Auk, when you were small and got lost in the forest, it was.

I who showed you the way. Auk’s eyes widened. Indeed, when he was lost in the forest in his childhood, a mysterious voice had shown him the way home. But how does this monk know that? Aahu asked fearfully, who are you? The sage said, I am Yatinath. A wandering monk. I want to stay here tonight. Ahuk’s hut was so small that only two people could sleep in it. But there was something mysterious here. When Aak built this hut, he had a strange dream. In the dream, a voice had said, Ahooka, keep your hut small. One day, your name will become immortal because of it. At.

That time, Ahooka hadn’t understood what this meant. Today, he understood. When Yati Nath said he wanted to stay overnight, Ahooka became worried. He didn’t want the sage to suffer. Ahok said, Maharaj, the problem is that my hut is too small. There’s not enough room for the three of us. Yati Nath gave a mysterious smile. Do n’t worry, son. Whatever happens will be for the best. When Ahooka realized the situation, she immediately said, You and your Maharaj can sleep inside. I’ll stay outside. But there’s a mysterious twist. When Ahooka.

Said this, a strange gleam appeared in Yati Nath’s eyes, as if he had been waiting for this. Ahooka said, No, Ahooka. How can I, as a husband, rest inside while my wife is in danger outside? Ahooka asked, Then what will you do? Ahok decided, I’ll stay outside, you and your Maharaj can sleep inside. I’ll keep guard with a weapon. Yati Nath silently observed everything. He was listening. He knew what was going to happen tonight, but he remained silent because it was a time of testing. Something strange happened during the night. Suddenly, a strong.

Wind blew in the sky. The animals in the forest became restless. Strange noises began to come from somewhere. Aahu stood outside, a small weapon in his hand. He did not know that tonight was going to be the biggest test of his life. Suddenly, strange noises began to come from the forest. It seemed as if the entire forest was coming towards Aahu’s hut. Aahu understood that something different was going to happen today. Usually, wild animals do not come together, but today it seemed as if someone had called them. What.

Happened in the last hours of the night remains a mystery. Aahu alone faced an entire herd of animals: lions, leopards, bears, jackals, all together. But there is something strange: the locals were awake that night. They said they heard no animal noises, only a strange, silent sound as if something was fighting in the air. Aahu did not care for his life. He was just one He was thinking about it. Nothing should happen to my wife and my Maharaj. He kept fighting, and fighting, and finally, those wild animals.

Killed him. But before dying, he made sure that no animal entered the hut. By morning, only his bones remained. When Ahuka woke up and looked outside, the scene was horrifying. Ahuka’s bones were scattered. Blood stains were everywhere. But there was something mysterious. When Ahuka saw the bones, she felt a strange peace. As if someone was whispering in her ear, Do n’t worry, everything is fine. Ahuka said to Yatinath, Maharaj, my husband has fulfilled his duty. He gave his life to serve his guests. I am proud of him.

Tears welled up in Yatinath’s eyes. But these tears were for a different reason. He knew that Ahuka’s death wasn’t because of him. It was all part of a larger divine plan. Ahuka piled up Ahuka’s bones and The pyre was prepared. Then she said to Yatinath, Maharaj, now I also want to go with my husband. Yatinath said, Daughter, don’t do this. Aahuka firmly said, A woman’s life is incomplete without her husband. I cannot live without him. But just as Aahuka was about to jump into the pyre, a miracle happened. Suddenly, Yatinath’s form.

Began to change. Divine light began to emanate from his body. A third eye appeared on his forehead. A snake wrapped around his neck. A trident appeared in his hand. Lord Shiva’s voice echoed. Wait Aahuka. Aahuka’s breath caught. She understood that this was no ordinary sage. Lord Shiva said, I, Yatinath, am Mahadev himself. I came to see your and Auk’s devotion. Lord Shiva blessed Auka and said, your and Auka’s love is immortal. I bless both of you to meet again in the next life. Auka will be born as the son of King Veerasena of Nishad country.

His name will be Nala and you will be born as the daughter of King Bhima of Vidarbha country. Your name will be Damayanti. And listen, Lord Shiva said with a mysterious smile, I myself will take the form of a swan and become the messenger of your love. After giving this boon, Lord Shiva decided to establish himself there in the form of a Shivalinga. But here a mysterious thing happened. As soon as Lord Shiva started appearing in the form of Shivalinga , the earth started shaking. Lightning started flashing in the sky. Lord Shiva.

Buried his thumb in the ground so that the mountain becomes stable and since then this place is called Achaleshwar but the biggest mystery here is that the entire body of the Lord went into the underworld and only the thumb remained above, that is why there is no complete Shivalinga here. Only the thumb is worshipped. There is a hidden secret in Achleshvar temple. There is a deep pit under the thumb of Lord Shiva. Till date no one has been able to measure the depth of this pit. Whatever amount of water is poured into this pit,.

It disappears. It is said that this crater is directly connected to Mount Kailash. Local people say that sometimes strange sounds come from this pit. A strange cold wind blows from here at night. Some people believe that this pit is from the time when Arbuddhanaga lived here and even today he is hidden somewhere in this pit. When Ahuka was born as Nala and Ahuka became Damayanti, Lord Shiva kept his promise. He became a swan and started carrying the message of love between these two. But there is a mysterious thing here. This swan was no ordinary bird.

It had divine powers. This swan could cross the boundaries of time and space. When the swan went to Damayanti, he spoke in human language. But when another person came near, he behaved like a normal bird. The swan told Damayanti about Nala. There is no other prince in this world as beautiful, virtuous and brave as Princess Nal. The swan did not carry only the message of love. He also used to tell both of them about the future. The swan told Damayanti that there would be some difficult times after her marriage but true love.

Always wins. A wonderful incident happened on the day of Damayanti’s swayamvar. Four gods, Indra, Agni, Varuna and Yama took the form of Nala. Now there were five Nalas standing and Damayanti had to identify the right Nala. But the swan had already told Damayanti that the gods have certain characteristics. His eyes do not blink. His feet cast no shadow. Their garland of flowers does not wither. There is no sweat on his body. Due to these signs, Damayanti recognized the real Nala and placed the garland around his neck.

After the marriage of Nala and Damayanti, Kaliyuga decided to take revenge. Kaliyuga entered inside Nal and corrupted his intellect. Nal became addicted to gambling. He lost his kingdom, wealth, property, everything. Ultimately he had to leave his wife Damayanti and run away into the forest. But there is a mysterious thing here. While Nala was wandering in the forest , a swan came to him and said, Nala, don’t worry. This is all a test. Damayanti is waiting for you. While wandering in the forest, Nala met Karkotaka, the serpent.

This serpent was trapped in a forest fire. Nala saved his life. Karkotaka said, Nala, I offer you a boon. I will change your form so that no one will recognize you, and I will also infuse your body with poison that will weaken the Kali Yuga. The serpent turned Nala into a hunchback and named him Baku. Now Nala worked as a charioteer for King Rituparna. But every night Nala sang a sad song with a hidden message. Damayanti returned to her father’s home. Every day she asked the swan, Where is my Nala? When will he come? The.

Swan said, Have patience, princess, your love will lead you to Nala. Damayanti sent brahmins everywhere to find Nala. She asked them to recite a special verse: O gambler, have you fulfilled your promise? You left your wife alone in the forest. She is waiting for you. When the Brahmin Parda recited this verse in Ayodhya, You left your wife alone in the forest. She is waiting for you, tears welled up in Nala’s eyes. Sometimes women abandon men. Sometimes men become women, but a wife never abandons her husband. The Brahmin.

Realized this was Nala. He returned and told Damayanti. Damayanti played a trick. She sent word to Ayodhya that she was holding another swayamvara. Hearing this, King Rituparna immediately wanted to go to Damayanti. King Rituparna hired Bahu as his charioteer and set off for Vidarbha. But on the way, a miracle occurred. When the horses began to run faster, King Rituparna was astonished. He said, Bahuka, you have magic in your hands. Who are you? Bahuka replied, Your Majesty, I know the language of horses. I.

Can speak to them. On the way, King Rituparna invited Nala to gamble. She taught him the art of magic. This alleviated Nala’s troubles. The poison of Kaliyuga was removed. When Bahuka reached Vidarbha, Damayanti immediately recognized him. I recognize him. His appearance may have changed, but the eyes of love do not deceive. Damayanti called Bahuka alone and said, There is the same pain in your eyes as in my Nala’s eyes. Bahuka replied, Princess, I am only a charioteer. Damayanti asked, Then tell me what a woman.

Feels when she waits for her husband. Tears welled up in Bahuka’s eyes. He could hide no longer. Suddenly, Bahuka’s appearance began to change. The poison of the cobra Karkotaka was removed. His hunchbacked body straightened. He became the handsome Nala again. Damayanti’s joy knew no bounds. I knew you would return. I have waited for you. Nala said, Damayanti, I made a mistake. I left you alone. Damayanti said, There are no mistakes in love, only tests. When Nala When Damayanti was reunited, a swan came to them and said, Nala and Damayanti,.

You both have passed the test of true love. Your love is now immortal. But remember, this story does not end here. Your love will be an inspiration for generations to come.
