Huge Narmada Shiva Lingam in the Shankaracharya Temple, Srinagar, Kashmir https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shankaracharya_Temple http://www.mukti4u2.dk/Srinagar_Shankaracharya_Temple.htm https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Banalinga https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GuC8vOULhhE http://www.crystalsrocksandgems.com/Healing_Crystals/ShivaLingam.html http://www.mukti4u2.dk/narmada_river.htm The stationary stone lingas worshipped in temples are required to have features like tri-sutra markings and division of the linga shaft into the four-sided Brahma-bhaga (hidden under the ground) the eight sided Vishnu-bhaga (concealed by the yoni or pedestal), and the circular Rudra-bhaga (which is seen and is worshipped, and hence called puja-bhaga). -- These are entirely absent in the mobile lingas worshipped in a household. Nor are they required to answer to the Agamic prescription regarding the measurements (tala-mana), the treatment of top-portions (siro-vartana), or the typology (shape etc.). Mobile lingas may also be used temporary purposes (kshanika) out of clay from the river-side (nadi-mrttika), sand (sikata), uncooked rice (tandula), cooked rice (anna), cow-dung (gomaya), sandal-paste (chandana), sacred grass (kurcha), jaggery (guda), butter (nava-nita), rice flour (pishta), rudraksha beads, flowers or sprouts (pallava). These are prepared immediately prior to the commencement of the worship-ritual, and are disposed of when the worship is concluded. http://www.ghumakkar.com/%E0%A4%AE%E0%A4%B9%E0%A5%87%E0%A4%B6%E0%A5%8D%E0%A4%B5%E0%A4%B0-%E0%A4%8F%E0%A4%95-%E0%A4%A6%E0%A4%BF%E0%A4%A8-%E0%A4%A6%E0%A5%87%E0%A4%B5%E0%A5%80-%E0%A4%85%E0%A4%B9%E0%A4%BF%E0%A4%B2%E0%A5%8D/ http://www.mydivinegift.com/banalingam.html The ancient Sankaracharya Temple, also known as the Jyesteswara Temple, is found on top of the hill Takht-i-Sulaiman or "Throne of Solomon", at the hight of 350m. Overlooking the lake, Adi Shankaracharya (788-820AC) lived, meditated and did Tapas (penance) here to review Hinduism which had been eclipsed by Buddhism. He worshipped the Shiva Lingam, which is still found in the Sanctum Sanctorum. Information bords on the spot tells, that Adi Shankaracharya "attained spiritual knowledge" at this particular place and after that went out and formed the four Hindu schools of Advaita, the philosophy of non-dualism. It is very likely that both Jesus Christ (and his disciple Thomas) have been at this age old temple. Inscriptions on the stairs leading up to the shrine supports this notion. Scriptures and other indications proves beyond doubt that Jesus has been in Srinagar and maybe even lived there for a while, as Srinagar in those days was a very important religious and cultural center. His burial at the Rozabal Mausolaeum also indicates that he had a strong connection to this particular place. The pages on this website about Christ in Kashmir are based upon the assumption, that Jesus survived the crucifixtion. Fleeing from His grave, Jesus went in hiding from the Romans and other persecuters outside Jerusalem. After recovering from His wounds, He travelled incognito, perhaps even under a another name, with caravans along the "Silk Road", the ancient trade route from Europe to the far east. Yuz Azaf or Jesus Christ arrived in Kashmir aproximately year 60AD. He stayed in Kashmir, where many other Israelites lived. Ten of the twelve tribes of Israel had migrated to this "Promised Land", in the 6th century BC, ie. long time before the birth of Jesus. Jesus came because he was the Messiah of the Israelittes, and he has, in clear words, declared that: "He was sent to serve the lost sheep in the house of Israel.". After year 80AD he was entombed in Srinagar. These assumptions is based on several scriptures: The apocryphal texts and non-canonized gospels found in Qumran, Israel and Nag Hamadi, Egypt, scriptures found in Tibetan monestaries, historians over the centuries, inscriptions in temples and at the Rozabal Mausolaeum, the Sanskrit texts Bahavishya Maha Purana and Rajatarangini, Persian texts and last but not the least: The age old oral tradition from the different parts of India and other countries, where Jesus is supposed to have been. Where the local people long time ago had seen a man, "With fair hair and a face shining like the sun, who called Himself, the son of God." Jesus Christ was an enlightend master without attachments of any kind to either places, people or things. He was a travelling saint, who spread "The Word" Himself. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rameswaram Faith and belief is challenged, but is lack of faith in the historical evidences, not deep down lack of faith in Him? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brihadeeswarar_Temple
