THE SACK OF SOMNATH TEMPLE BY MAHMUD OF GHAZNI IN 1026 AD - CAPT AJIT VADAKAYIL

DESTRUCTION OF SOMNATH TEMPLE THE REAL TRUTH EXPOSED ,   SOMNATH JYOTHIRLINGA,  SOMESHWARA IDOL LORD SHIVA WITH MOONSTONE GEM ON FOREHEAD -  CAPT AJIT VADAKAYIL

The sack of Somnath temple in 1026 by Mahmud of Ghazni has been described by thousands of historians.  All of them are exaggerated and downright lies.

10 months ago, French troops landed at Mali, to “defeat” the Islamists.  When I saw this on BBC  I told my wife “ I am writing down on a piece of paper with my signature and date,  that when the smoke clears up the priceless ancient library of Mali will be burnt.

My wife asked me how I am so sure.

I said “ The historical records of this planet and Kerala Math, Science , Astronomy , Medicine etc lie under the sands of Timbuctoo. People make fun of Timbuctoo, but this place has a great history”

When my prediction came true , and the priceless library was destroyed , I blogged on the subject.  

The French blamed the Islamists .  Why should Islamists burn their own history with a “heavy heart” ?

But again, let me tell this world, that they got to destroy only 40%.   60 % of ancient Kerala knowledge, still lies buried in fox holes of the desert. 

A lot of information in  my blogs are from Timbuctoo.   I have never been there as Mali is landlocked, but I got a lot of information from my ship’s agent at Dakar , Senegal , where I got off my ship to fly home .

A big part of information is from Morocco, the land of Ibn Batuta.   Chinese Admiral Zheng He who traded with the Calicut King and died at Calicut had written his own history.

With every year the wealth in gold and diamonds stolen from Somnath temple by Mahmud of Ghazni gets bigger and bigger.  It has got so big that all his thousands of horses would have died of exhaustion  on the way back to Ghazni, by carrying such a heavy load of loot..

See we have idiots writing history nowadays.  It is NOT that they are vested . They are just plain idiots.

If you see the blog site of Markandey Katju, in his latest blog you will find that our honourable ex-Chief Justice of India has made you and me, immigrants in our own motherland Bharat.  According to Katju saab , India was full of  tribals  — and he has gone around enumerating them TEE HEEEE !.

Just shows that a judge goes no further than his court room.       
   

Let me lay the bottomline right on top. Mahmud of Ghazni did NOT get any wealth in Somnath temple. In sheer frustration he kidnapped the most attractive of the nearly 400 dancing girls . 

Mahmud was a homosexual ( the receiving type ) and he had NO use for these girls.  It was for proof.  


Below:  DE DO YAAAR !    CHAL DENA YAAR !!

The girls escaped on the way back at night with Hindu guides masquerading as mercenary soldiers , escorting them away, and these are the gypsies you find in Europe today.  

If you see them they all have Gujarati and Rajasthani looks.  They were NOT useless people, they had Ayurveda knowledge .

The Muslim historians have been trying to insinuate that Tantra sex went on in Somnath temple—which is vulgar nonsense.  

Nothing is further from the truth.  

The girls were all expert classical dancers and devotional mantra singers.

To be frank I started this blog site by exposing Ante Pavelic.  He is responsible for the genocide of more than 30,000 Roma Gypsies from Europe – ethnic cleansing of the first order— wandering nomad people with Indian features who would NOT accept Christianity or Islam.

LAST CRUSADER OF THE LAST INQUISITION VADAKAYIL

Mahmud of Ghazni took away the huge sandalwood doors of Somnath, for proof.  It was very difficult for him to lug these heavy doors back to Ghazni very far away. But he did. These doors adorned his tomb when he dies after 4 years , on April 30, 1030 at the age of 59 years, of Malaria inflicted into his tent from a pot by a Hindu priest, who went as a guide. 

Mahmud would never regain his sapped energy to come back to India again.  The same guide caused majority of Mahmud’s soldiers and horses to die of thirst as he led them away from water sources.

Below: The tomb on Mahmud of Ghazni-- sans doors.

For 800 years it was there , till Rothschild stole them from Mahmud’s tomb , in a bizarre conspiracy.  The British soldiers brought a fake door made of Turkish wood back to Somnath temple , a perfect replica , where it was rejected by the chief priest.  This door can still be seen in a store room at Agra fort. 

A few years later in 1857, Rothschild changed from traders to rulers , and would prise off the heavy golden spires off Taj Mahal and put brass duplicates in place.

Days before the arrival of Mahmud of Ghazni, the ruler had transferred part of the wealth in Somnath Temple to a fortified offshore island Gundevi.   Another part was transported by Bhimdeva Solanki, to an impenetrable  area by horses at Mount Abu – the fortified castle of Achal Gadh.  Ships were used by sea routes via Bhadreshwar and then land route to Kanthkot at Kuchha, though the Pancheshwar route.

Some fixtures in gold , like the heavy gold chain for the bell and the embedded jewels of the main Someshwara idol were left as it is . Thinking that the treasure was hidden in some vault, Mahmud got enraged and broke open the whole temple.  He tried his best to get information and killed thousands of unarmed pilgrims inside the temple, a massacre of mad frenzy.

It was a sorry sight to see Mahmud of Ghazni finally leave with some girls , the broken Shiva idol ( 4 pieces to be wieldy ) and the dismantled pieces of the huge sandalwood doors.   

He did NOT even get the magnificient Moonstone  inset as Shiva’s third eye on the forehead which would wax and wane in brilliance along with the light of the moon, like magic , even in the dark.

So much of lies and exaggeration by Arab historians.  Equally matched by nationalist Hindus in India.

Tall stories were concocted BLAH BLAH - though the idol was broken in four pieces, the first piece was sent to Mecca to be placed under the entrance door of the Kaaba. The second piece was placed under the entrance to the prophets mosque in Medina. The third at the entrance of the great mosque of Ghuzznih, and the last piece at the entrance of the royal palace in Ghuzznih (Ghazni) BLAH BLAH BLAH .

Mahmud Ghazni’s MAIN aim was to cart away the huge shiva lingam, the black meteorite stone. But that ancient stone was uprooted and hidden .  The Shiva lingam at Somnath was so huge that part of it remained submerged under water and a platform was built over.

This Shiva Lingam was reused later.

The doors had no value as India was full of huge girth sandalwood trees.   Rothschild had cut off all our aged sandalwood and rose wood trees.  The best teak trees he cut and carted away for his shipbuilding industry-after all he was a shipowner ( British East India Company ).

Within a few weeks the construction of a brand new Surya temple at Modhera took place, and the treasures shifted here.

Below : Sun temple at Modhera.

THE MAIN PURPOSE MAHMUD OF GHAZNI CAME TO SOMNATH WAS THE BLACK SHIVA LINGAM .  HE WAS SPECIALLY ENGAGED BY KHALIF OF BAGHDAD QADIR BILLAH.

The original Shiva Lingam at the Kaaba was consecrated by Muhammed the Prophet himself , taken from the ancient Shiva Temple at the Mecca Oasis . 

It was installed on the SE corner horizontally 5 feet above the ground. Every pilgrim would kiss the stone.

Qarmatian leader Abu Tahir al-Qarmati uprooted this black meteorite stone , heavier than steel and set it up in his own mosque, the Masjid al-Dirar, with the intention of redirecting the Hajj away from Mecca. He was successful and the Kaaba at Mecca lost its value, with the main attraction missing . 

After much bloodshed , the stone was returned twenty-three years later, in 952 AD, but in pieces.  Somebody came threw a bundle and vanished. This returned stone weighed very light and when put in fresh water it floated. So this was just a black pumice stone with gas pockets found at high heat volcanoes.

It was necessary to find a new heavy meteorite stone as replacement. Till then these seven pieces of black light stones were black cemented .  This is what exists even today.  This stone has been X-Rayed by the British .

Below: Everybody wants to kiss the black stone --     guards beat devotees who take too long to kiss  ( previously with whips which flakes off flesh -  as happened to my Pakistani third engineer who was rubbing dozens of silk handkerchiefs given to him by relatives and madrassa friends ) .

A Shiva Lingam is a heavy black meterorite stone which contains the seed or DNA. This has been proved by NASA two years ago.

The Qarmatians used the black Shiva Lingam for ransom, and forced the Abbasids to pay a huge sum for its return.  

It was wrapped in a sack and thrown into the Friday Mosque of Kufa, accompanied by a note saying "By command we took it, and by command we have brought it back."

The Qarmation sect that splintered off from the Ismailis in the late 800s, ruled what is now Eastern Saudi Arabia and Bahrain.  

They had desecrated the well of Zamzam by stuffing it full of the bodies of dead Hajjis. 

Well I did NOT want to write this— but then truth is truth.  IT took a long time before the Zan Zam water was drunk again by the pilgrims .

The Zamzam well is about 100 feet deep and 9 feet in diameter . Originally water from the well was drawn via ropes and buckets, but today the well itself is in a basement room where it can be seen behind glass panels (visitors are not allowed to enter).  Electric pumps draw the water, which is available via water fountains and dispensing containers near the Tawaf area

The original sandalwood doors which gives a pleasant aroma , will probably be in one of the palaces of Rothschild. The whole thing of snatching away a door from a Islamic mausoleum was done with a lot of dram which included the Governor General of India ( a Rothschild stooge appointee ) and the British Parliament.

Below: Rothschild must be thinking that the STAR OF DAVID belongs to him.

If BIG BROTHER (or his family) says he won the marathon—you can be cock sure , that he ran the first 100 metres – then got substituted by a fake double— got into a stretched limousine with tinted glasses -- he relaxed, had sex, brandy and cigars – then re-joined the race again at the last 100 metres , over took the silver medalist at the last 5 metres and won the prize.  His own MONOPOLISED media would then make him a SUPER DUPER HERO.

In 1842, Edward Law, 1st Earl of Ellenborough issued his famous 'Proclamation of the Gates' in which he ordered the British army in Afghanistan to return via Ghazni and bring back to India the sandalwood gates from the tomb of Mahmud of Ghazni in Ghazni, Afghanistan.

Below: Interior of Mahmud of Ghazni's tomb.

There was a mock debate in the House of Commons in London in 1843 on the question of the sandalwood gates of the Somanath temple. 

After much cross-fire between the British Government and the opposition,  the gates were uprooted and brought back in triumph, with the owner of British East India Company, Jew Rothschild smirking over brandy and cigars.

Somnath temple is one of the twelve Jyotirlingas of Lord Shiva.  The temples lies on the western coast of Gujarat.  This temple is as old as creation itself and finds a mention in the 7000 year old Rig Veda..

The first Somnath Jyotirling Pran-Pratistha was done on the auspicious third day of brighter half of Shravan month during the tenth Treta yug of Vaivswat Manvantar, as per our Hindu scriptures.

The Dwadasa Jyotirlinga Stotra:-

Saurashtre Somanaatham Cha

Sree Shaile Mallikarjunam

Ujjayinyaam Mahaakaalam

Omkaare Mamaleswaram

Himalaye to Kedaram

The Somnath temple was attacked 6 times in history by jealous Muslim invaders. The temple was rebuilt every time with the people. 

Then after Aurangazeb destroyed the temple in 1701, a mosque came up exactly in the same spot, using the same stones, with Hindu motifs visible -- just like Babri Masjid in Ayodhya..

The modern temple was reconstructed with the resolve of Sardar Vallabhai Patel who visited the ruins of Somnath temple on November 13 , 1947.  

Then President of India, Dr. Rajendra Prasad, did the Pran-Pratistha at the existing temple on 11 May 1951 despite reservations voiced by “secular” Nehru--about razing down the mosque , and chasing the hardcore mullahs away..

Nehru knew very well that 90 million Hindus were killed by invaders and thousands of Hindu temples more grand than Somnath were razed to the ground, yet he wanted to be SECULAR..

THE UNQUANTIFIED HOLOCAUST AND GENOCIDE VADAKAYIL

Above: What do you call a mosque within a temple?

In  the Shiva  Purana  and Nandi  Upapurana, Shiva  said, `I  am  always present everywhere  but  specially  in  12  forms  and places as  the  jyotirlingas.

The  shore  temple of Somnath is  believed  to  have  been  built  in  4  phases-in  gold  by  Lord Soma,  in  silver  by  Ravi,  in wood  by  lord  Krishna  and  in  stone  by  King Bhimadeva.

When my ship had berthed at Veraval, Gujarat,  I had visited Somnath temple at Prabhas Patan . 

The grandeur of Somnath was described by Al Biruni who was an Arab traveler.  He wrote about priceless diamonds shining in darkness.  Ancient Indians were the masters of Total Internal Reflection written down in our Vedic texts 7000 years ago.. explaining critical angle and refractive index. 

Till the white man discovered diamonds in South Africa in 1886, diamonds were available only in India.  In 1726 the white man had found some" low quality" diamonds on a Brazilian river bed. 

The next discovery was in 1906 in Congo. Alexander the Great , when he came to India in 326 BC, had talked about Indian noblemen wearing Navratna rings and the women wearing Navratna lockets. Navratna literally means 9 gems. Out of this Venus was represented by a brilliantly cut (Hira) Diamond. Mercury was Green (Panna) Emerald and Blue Sapphire was (Indraneelam) Saturn. 

The West came to know about Indian diamonds as early as 3000 years ago, when King Solomon imported diamonds via ships going from Kerala. 

RATNA PARIKSHA was a 5000 year old Sanskrit text on optics which dealt with critical angles, high refractive index of diamond ( 2.4 ) and low critical angle ( 24 deg ) and  total internal reflection physics and the art of cutting diamonds, to make it spit fire. It clearly states that only diamond can cut diamond, hence polishing must be done with diamond , and that if a diamond is cut poorly it will NOT sparkle. 

Our 4000 year old Indian temples had pin hole cameras which could give inverted pictures and the coloured prism.  

Indian diamond cutters are so reliable that even today in 2011 that nearly 1.45 million cutters still cut 13 out of 14 diamonds world wide(  93.5% by numbers cut )--despite the inroads of computer controlled laser cutting technology..

Getting back-- Al Baruni wrote about 1000 priests doing pooja and rituals in Somnath temple, 300 musicians and 500 attractive dancing girls in shifts , round the clock and 300 barbers to tonsure pilgrims' heads.

The Skanda Purana describes the Sparsa Linga of Somnath as one bright as the sun, the size of an egg, lodged underground.  The 6000 year old Mahabharatha refers to the Prabhasa Kshetra and the legend of the moon worshipping Shiva. Our scriptures talk about the huge bell plate with a heavy golden chain .

Going against the wishes of the hugely Hindu majority population, the Nawab of Junagadh refused to accede his princely state to newly independent India in 1947.   This led to bloody clashes and finally after the Indian Government intervened, Junagadh became a part of India.

The Deputy Prime Minister, Sardar Vallabhbhai Patel had come to Junagadh on 12th November 1947 to direct the stabilization of the princely state by the Indian Army and at the same time ordered the reconstruction of the Somnath Temple.

Addressing a mammoth gathering before the Somnath temple, Patel said: "On this auspicious day of the New Year, we have decided that Somanath should be reconstructed. You, people of Saurashtra, should do your best. This is a holy task in which all should participate”.

Below: Patel's statue near Somnath.

In May 1951, Dr. Rajendra Prasad, the first President of Free India performed the installation ceremony for the temple by over-ruling the mindless opposition of Prime Minister Jawaharlal Nehru to his participation in the ceremony, to appease Muslims.  Prasad said "The Somnath temple signifies that the power of reconstruction is always greater than the power of destruction". 

There is no landmass if you look south from Somnath Temple door - till Antartica, as per an inscription in Sanskrit engraved in stone on the Arrow-Pillar called Baan-Stambh erected on the sea-protection wall at the Somnath Temple.

You must know that Antartica remained undiscovered until 1818 CE.

The temple faces to east and once had an enormous central hall with three entrances, each protected by a lofty porch.

Large parts of Antarctica could have remained ice-free until 4000 BC.  Antarctica was not always covered with ice and was, at one time, much warmer than it is today.  It was warm because it was not physically located at the South Pole in that period.

The Piri Reis map drawn on deer skin is copied from more than 6000 year old indian maps.. This 1513 map is shocking NOT because of the inclusion of a continent that was not discovered until 1818 , but rather its portrayal of part of the coastline of that continent under ice-free conditions that came to an end 6,000 years ago and that have not since recurred. 

India was the only known civilization at that time.

In the olden days Kerala ships delivered spices to Salalah , Aden , Bernice and from there it went by caravan route to Cairo and Constantinople.

Mecca was just an oasis and an accounts office of the calicut king, which also doubled up as a shiva temple with a shiva lingam stone.

The vulgar west fudged all history to prove that the bible was right in stating that the big banh occured in 4004 BC.  While i have been stating in most of my posts that before 7000 BC India ruled the whole world.

Only 35% of this map survives and it shows the western coasts of Europe and North Africa and the coast of Brazil with reasonable accuracy.

The map was discovered by chance in 1929, through the work of the German Jew theologian, Gustav Adolf Deissmann (1866–1937) .

In 1501 an admiral in the Ottoman navy named Kemal Reis captured seven Spanish ships off the coast of Spain, near Valencia. Aboard one of the prizes he found a strange feather head dress and a heavy black meterorite shiva lingam stone.

The US Navy even investigated this map and validated it as being not a forgery, and so did Albert Einstein.

Ottoman Admiral Piri Reis could not have acquired his information on this latter region from contemporary explorers because Antarctica remained undiscovered until 1818 CE, more than 300 years after he drew the map. poor guy was beheaded.

Large parts of Antarctica could have remained ice-free until 4000 BC.  Antarctica was not always covered with ice and was, at one time, much warmer than it is today.  It was warm because it was not physically located at the South Pole in that period.

Instead it stood approximately several hundred miles further to the north in ice free ocean. the continent moved to its present position inside the Antarctic Circle as a result of a mechanism known as earth-crust-displacement-- which Albert Einstein has explained well.

The map also shows the Andes Mountains on the western side of the  S America continent, which were of course unknown at the time.  The map correctly shows the Amazon River rising in these unexplored mountains and thence flowing eastward.

Although they remained undiscovered until 1592 AD, the Falkland Islands appear on the 1513 map at their correct latitude. 

Back to Somnath temple-

Maitraka Kings of Vallabhi in Gujarat renovated the Somnath temple in 649 AD..

In 725AD Junayad, the Arab governor of Sind, destroyed this temple ( 1)

King Nagabhata II of the Gurjara Pratihara dynasty re-built the temple in 815 AD in a large lavish manner with red sandstone

In 1026AD, Mahmud Ghazni destroyed Somnath temple.(2)

It was rebuilt by Solanki King Bhima of Ahnilwara Gujarat and Parmara King Bhoja of Malwa.

During his campaign, Mahmud was challenged by 90 year old Ghogha Rana 90, sacrificed himself and the soldiers of his clan fighting against this Islamic warrior.

The Somnath temple was raided by Alaf Khan  the general  by Sultan Allauddin Khilji in 1300 A.D (3).  

Mahipala Deva of the Chudasama dynasty of Saurashtra renovated it.

In 1375 AD, the temple was again destroyed by Muzaffar Shah I (4)

The temple was again reconstructed, by Mahipal, the king of Junagadh.

In 1451, the temple was once again destroyed by Mahmud Begda, the Sultan of Gujarat. (5)

Later, the Marathas rulers of Pune, Nagpur, Kolhapur and Indore came together and rebuilt the temple.

The last destruction of Somnath was by the last Mughal Emperor Aurangzeb in 1706 AD,( 6)  just a year before his death. 

Aurangzeb built a mosque on the site of the Somnath temple, using some columns from the temple, whose Hindu sculptural motifs remained visible.

Somnath Temple was rebuilt with perseverance each time after it was destroyed.  In the year 1783 AD, Queen Ahilyabhai Holkar built a new temple nearby as Somnath temple was converted into a mosque.  

Somanath Temple’s black Shiva Lingam was placed in a secret underground vault.

Then the white Christian invader made merry by using the temple roof in defending the nearby port from pirates..

The present temple, Kailash Mahameru Prasada, is built in the Chalukya style of temple architecture and reflects the skill of the Sompuras, Gujarat's master masons, after Independence.

Every Muslim historian has tried to convert Mahmud of Ghazni to be some sort of Alexander the Great character.   His only claim to fame is that he destroyed the Somnath temple. He also snatched away the kingdom from his brother , to whom his father Abu Mansur Sabuktigin had handed over his kingdom. He imprisoned his brother for life , after blinding him— so what else is new?

Mahmud was extremely cruel to the Ismailis and Shias , since his overlord, the Abbasid caliph considered them heretics. Mahmud’s father and mother both were slaves.  According to Tarikh-e-Ferishta, Sultan Mahmud had an obsession with buying the most beautiful slave boys wherever he could find them. He needed a new boy everyday.

Can you imagine Pakistan is ashamed of the Vedas and the oldest Saraswati civilization, but very proud elite continued naming the missiles after Mahmud Ghaznavi, Muhammad Ghauri etc.  

When Mahmud of Ghazni came first to Pakistan area, all their Pakistani forefathers were Hindus.  They mother, sisters and daughters got raped , and the men got killed , yet Pakistanis are proud of these Muslim invaders, and they create false stories and believe in them.. 

The No 1 citizen pf Pakistan was a Rothschild stooge who took away the land from the Palestinians.

Such a bunch of ignoramuses, these Pakistanis.  

To be frank we Indian are giving them stiff competition— for even our own Gandhi was a Rothschild stooge , imported from South Africa by a Chitpavan Jew—nay- Brahmin Gopal Krishna Gokhale to scuttle our freedom struggle and to recruit Indian soldiers for both world wars to kill Germans ( see our Gandhi’s ahimsa is highly selective ) -and carve out the state of Israel..

What none of the Islamic historians mention is that Mahmud and his half crazed dehydrated army were chased right back to Sindh , by an alliance of Hindu kings under the leadership of Bhojaraja. 

Most of their horses died due to lack of water, but he had more than 30000 desert camels . Al Beruni recorded the arrival of Mahmud's fatigued and disarrayed army at Multan in April 1026.

Below: Mahmud's base at Ghazni.

The Islamic accounts of “ seventy million dirhams, and six and a half metric tonnes of and gold coins, jewelry, cups and vessels. The Arab world flocked to Ghazni to gaze upon the incredible wealth of India” – is all exaggeration -- nay --downright lies...

Indian nationalists played along —“ see we had so much of wealth in one just one single temple”.

Alexander the Great’s historians too had painted such a rosy picture, when he was beaten back from India by King Porus.

In our foreign funded Indian TV they make it a point to do fake propaganda ( even by way of quiz programmes ) that Porus was on his knees in front of King Alexander.  Just last week I saw a TV news programme on CNN IBN  , that Alexander defeated King Porus —while it was the other way around.   

Alexander’s Indian wife Roxana tied a Rakhi on King Porus and conveniently made him her brother. .

ALEXANDER THE GREAT AND KING PORUS THE HIDDEN TRUTH VADAKAYIL.

It was NOT due to cowardice that Muslims were able to defeat Rajputs and Jats.  It was just that one side played the game of honor, while the other side used deceit at every step. This included the white Christian man invader too.  

Did NOT 3.54 lakh ( 354,000 ) Indian Hindu and Sikh soldiers die in both World Wars, fighting for Rothschild and British Queen?

And then there is this story about the levitating Somnath temple idol, which Mahmud brough down to the ground, after first personally checking the idol is indeed levitating. QUOTE “When the king asked his ompanions what they had to say about the marvel of the idol, and of its staying in the air without prop or support, several maintained that it was upheld by some hidden support. The king directed a person to go and feel all around and above and below it with a spear, which he did, but met with no obstacle. One of the attendants then stated his opinion that the canopy was made of loadstone, and the idol of iron, and that the ingenious builder had skillfully contrived that the magnet should not exercise a greater force on anyone side-hence the idol was suspended in the middle. Some coincided, others differed. Permission was obtained from the Sultan to remove some stones from the top of the canopy to settle the point. When two stones were removed from the summit the idol swerved on one side, when more were taken away it inclined still further, until at last it rested on the ground—BLAH BLAH BLAH .”UNQUOTE

This incident happened on the Konark temple of East coast, and I have mentioned it in one of my posts. This was at Konark sun temple, and no Muslim invader were involved, rather it was the white Christian invader who got amazed to see a levitating idol.. 

The huge magnets used to levitate the sun god idol was stolen by Rothschild -- claiming that it upset their ship's magnetic compass ( bull ).  

Above: Konark  temple is 5 kilometers from the shore.

People worship in this smaller Somnath temple built by Maharani Holkar , ( after Emperor Aurangazeb destroyed it ) and can be seen performing puja here.  It is known as old Somnath temple and it is also managed by Shri Somnath Trust.  

Triveni Ghat in Somanth is the confluence of three holy rivers Kapil, Hiran and the underground river Saraswaty (also known as Gupt Saraswati).  

Above :  The ancient Triveni Ghat where devotees feed the fishes.

In the olden days the rivers flow to the ultimate destination of sea from here.

People who think Sarawati river is a figment of Hindu imagination must think again. 

Below: Rig Veda of 5000 BC, talks only about Saraswati river --NOT river Ganges.

For this ancient river which dried up in 4000 BC, has been mapped by Indian satellites.

Dehotsarga also called Balkh Tirth where Krishna shed his mortal coil , after being shot with an arrow on the on the foot by a Jara , a hunter ( mistaking him for a deer ) ,  is nearby which Hindu pilgrims visit.  

The tirtha stands at the confluence of Hiranya, Saraswati and Kapila rivers.  The temple is built around the peepal tree under which Krishna was sitting when his foot was pierced by an arrow 6000 years ago.

Lord Krishna generously pardoned and blessed him and send him to Vaikuntha.   Krishna knew this incident would happen.  

For the hunter was Bali in his previous life, who was killed by Krishna in his previous Vishnu avatar as Lord Rama - Bali could NOT be killed from his forward side, due to a boon from Indra.

At this spot Lord Krishna gave his final instructions to Uddhava. [Srimad Bhagavat 11th canto]  .

I have been inside this ancient temple- now renovated .

Grace and peace !
