Amarnath Yatra Photos History of Amarnath Ji - Baba Amarnath Yatra
This is The Cave which was chosen
by Bhole Shankar for narrating the secrets of immortality and creation
of Universe to Maa Parvati ji . The story goes like this . Centuries
ago Maa
Parvati asked Shiv ji to
let her know why and when He started wearing the beads of heads ( Mund
Mala) . Bhole Shankar replied when ever you are born I add one more
head in my beads . Maa Parvati said ," My Lord, my body is destroyed
every time and I die again and again, but you are Immortal. Please let
me know the secret of this ." Bhole Shankar replied that it is due to
Amar Katha ." Maa
Parvati insisted that she may be told that secret. For long Shiva ji
continued postponing . Finally on consistent demand from Maa Parvati He
made up his mind to tell the immortal secret . He started for lonely
place where no living being could listen it . He choose Amarnath Cave .
In preparation to that He left His Nandi ( The Bull which He used to
ride ) at Pahalgam (Bail gaon) . At Chandanwari He released Moon from
his hairs (Jataon). At the banks of Lake Sheshnag He released the
snakes . He decided to leave his Son Ganesha at Mahagunas Parvat
(Mahaganesh Hill ) . At Panjtarni, Shivji left the Five Elements behind
(Earth , Water, Air , Fire and Sky) which make living being . He is the
Lord of these elements. It is believed that as a symbol of sacrificing
the earthly world , Shivaji and Maa Parvati had Tandav Dance . After
leaving behind all these, Bhole Shankar enters the Holy Amarnath Cave along with Parvati Maa .
Lord Shiva takes his Samadhi on the Deer Skin and concentrate . To
ensure that no living being is able to hear the Immortal Tale , He
created Rudra named Kalagni and ordered him to spread fire to eliminate
every living thing in and around the Holy Cave . After this He started
narrating the secret of immortality to Maa Parvati . But as a matter of
chance one egg which was lying beneath the Deer skin remained protected
. It is believed to be non living and more over it was protected by
Shiva -Parvati Asan (Bed) . The pair of pigeons which were born out of
this egg became immortal having listened the secret of immortality
(Amar Katha).
