Why is Kedharnath called “Jagrutha Mahaadhev”, this two minutes story will be thrilling,
don’t miss a minute and watch till end.
Once a Devotee of Shiva left for a devotional trip from his place to Kedharnath, as there
were no travel facilities in those days he started his journey by walk.
To whomever he met on his way he used ask for the directions, with his view never faded
from Shiva in his heart.
Months past and finally he reached Kedharnath.
In Kedharnath the temple doors will be closed for six months and open for another six months
in a year.
At the time this Devotee of Shiva reached Kedharnath the doors were about to close for
another six months, He requested the temple priest saying “I have come hiking from so
far to have Lord Shiva’s Darshan please show some mercy and allow me for Darshan”.
But according the rules in Kedharnath the doors once closed will again be opening after
6 months.
Again rules should be followed.
The devotee of Shiva was feeling very sad and was recalling the Lord Shiva and requesting
every priest “Lord please give your Darshan once”.
But none of them were interacting to him.
A Priest announced “Devotees come here after six months, Temple doors will open after six
months from now and temple will be filled with snow” and left from there.
Devotee of Shiva was in tears and stayed there itself, it was night now, and Darkness filled
all the sides.
But he had faith in lord Shiva, believed that Lord Shiva will definitely show some mercy
on him.
He started to feel hunger and thrust.
Within this he heard sounds of someone arriving there, he saw one Monk coming to him, that
monk walked to him and took a seat near to him.
Monk asked with all due respect and graciously, where are you from?
He started to tell his story that he suffered, and his effort was all fruitless.
The monk made him feel comfort and fed him some food he had.
Monk spoke for a long time with him.
Monk had kindness to towards him and said “I feel that temple will open tomorrow morning
and you will definitely get the Darshan”.
Slowly within no time the Devotee of Shiva slept there, Sun’s Rays in the morning woke
him up.
He searched for the Monk but finds him nowhere, before he comes to conclusion, he saw Temple
Priest with the rest of the council coming together.
Devotee of Shiva asks the priest “Yesterday you announced that temple will open after
six months and no one should see come here, but now why you are here early in the morning??”
The Priest took a look at the devotee trying to identify him and asked “you are the one
right who came at the closing time of the temple?
You met me right at that time right and told now its six months after that I am opening
the temple.
Devotee was in shock and asks “No I dint go anywhere for six months and it was yesterday
right that I met you?
Night I slept here, and dint move”.
Now the priest was surprised and told but I went closing the temple six months back
and am returning back now.
How were you able to survive for six months here?
Priest and his team members were tremendously surprised.
How is it even possible for a human being to survive in this cold atmosphere?
Then the devotee of Shiva explained about a monk coming to him, meeting him and all
to the priest and his team.
Describing the looks of the monk to the priest the devotee said “Monk was very tall and
had long beard, topknot, Trisulam in one hand holding Damarukham on the other hand, wearing
an animal skin”.
Immediately the priest Fell on the knees of the devotee and said “we waited for a life
time but still couldn’t get the Darshan of the Lord Shiva and the person who came
to you in the night as monk was none other than LORD SHIVA himself.
You are the real devotee, you got the real Lord Shiva’s darshan, and he turned six
months into one night with Yoga Maya for you.
He fed you kalakand and made it short, all this because of you pure mind and heart, and
Attentive beliefs you got towards him.
You got such great luck.
We salute and pay homage to your devotion
