SOMNATH – A SPIRITUAL JOURNEY
The
temple of Somnath is a conspicuous example of spirituality and modern
culture. The first Jyotirling among the twelve, situated at Saurashtra
region of Gujarat. Somnath is one of the worth visiting places in
Gujarat.
The
grandness of the place is felt at very first moment you arrived at the
Somnath. A cool breeze establishes a feeling of pleasure and peace
inside your mind. The
grand Temple of lord Shiva is something beyond magisterial. When you
walk towards the temple through roadside you can sense the roar of sea.
The entrance of the temple is grand.
The temple is well equipped with good security surveillance through its way for entering in temple. You first come across a large grassy land, benches and lawn where you can enjoy the view of sea and energetic wind all day. You can also see view of garbhgriha of temple through a large screen outside the temple.
Aarti
is being performed 4 times a day. The early morning aarti is very
jovial. The chanting and the sound of instruments are enough to increase
consciousness within you. The adornment ceremony of shivlinga is so
holy that you might feel the presence of lord Shiva inside the
garbhgriha of temple.
Somnath has nearby places which is worth for sightseeing are - old Somnath temple, Bhalkatirth known as the last place of lord Krishna !(isn’t this duet combination of the creators of the world? ) , there is another place known as Geetamandir. It is said that at this place lord Krishna took his last breath and went to heaven, there is Panchpandav caves which was built by Pandvas when the battle of Krukshetra was over. Trivenisangam, again a nice place to visit but unfortunately not properly maintained.
The night at Somnath is very humid; and the people of Somnath are very generous. Overall a very worth visiting place for 1-2 days, but only during off season, the reason for choosing off season is in the absence of heavy rush of visitors; you can move around very peacefully and nicely. Somanth is very serene place with the beauty of wide sea and the roar of its tides. It is the mixture of the two creators of the world lord Shiva and lord Krishna. The temple is being attacked by many Islamic emperors but still with the grace of lord Shiva it is still the source of positive and vibrant energy.

The
atmosphere of girbhgriha of the temple is so stupendous that your mind
and body gets totally separated from the outside world. You can feel the
holiness of the temple the moment you enter inside temple. If you visit
Somnath temple during winter than you might be lucky to attend a laser
show at the backside of the temple.
