Ambernath Shiv Mandir

Last day of our YES!+ Course (youth empowerment skills workshop)...volunters had a surprise for me...i had to stay in gayatri's house in ambernath e ...after ulhasnagar...in thane district...the whole night we (volunteers) were talking,talking and stories from guru to Bhooottt stories to soft songs by our ubharata sitara (guitarist saurabh)...it was an awesome nite which continued till 6am!!! and then we decided to do our pranayam ..Kriya followed by meditation...the whole Group was fresh and ready to take me to the famous temple of SHIVA....

AT 8am we reached the 1000 yrs old Shiv mandir (checckout the photos)this temple was built by the mahaRaja and had chakra on the top which use to merrygoround the whole day without any electricity and so!!!!amazing na....it is said that/ but britishers destroyed the upper portion and took the chakra for scientific research???, after that this temple is going down under the earth inch by inch evveryday....it has superb historical carvings on it... hetang was our official (phathetic) photographer...

As soon as i entered the temple, it was having good vibrations and noise (mondays is the shiva day, lot of ppl visits)...and thus we sat inside and started chanting 108 om namah sivaya (my idea!!) and lo...it was pindrop silence....we all!!! felt that nothing moved not even the ringing of the bells...only our chanting was echoinngg...amazing exxpppperence...

WE finished with an Shiva bhajan..and as we opend our eyes again we heard the bells ringing and the noisess....

A Sankalpa is taken that every monday morning the ambernath volunteers will go to the mandir, chant and sing bajans one will lead and also take responsibilty to keep it clean.. those living nearby who wanna join this group can go morning 7am-7.30am only..

Jaigurudeva...
