I had never thought that I would embark on this journey so soon in life, it just random plan with my brother. Finally my Dream came True. After Reaching the Kedarnath Dham, Body full exhausted, huge pain in Legs but still happiness and peace all around. I have booked the tent for one night stay at Kedarnath, we got freshen up and took bath with extremely cold Water to Get relax Body, then had lunch and took 3-4 hours sleep which is really mandatory as we didn't slept for 2 nights. Stand in the darshan line for 4 hours, weather was extremely cold and still feeling sleepy but surrounding was so positive, there was powerful mantras of Om Namah Shivay in the air. We couldn't see the snow mountain at night. I was excited to see the Shivling(shrine) inside the temple, I couldn't believe that my dream has come true and that too so soon. The darshan was very good and we were quite tired. After eating, we slept because the next day we had to get up at 2:30 and stand in queue again.

Kedarnath is one of the four dhams of the north – Kedarnath, Badrinath, Gangotri and Yamunotri of Uttarakhand . It is also one of the 12 jyotirlingas in India and the highest of all, kedarnath trek is the one of the Difficult among the all.

Next day we woke up at 2:30. It was extremely cold. I had never been in such cold temperatures in my life. We quickly freshened up and then straightaway got into the queue. The queue was not long but still we stood in the queue for one and a half hour. Because till 9:00 in the morning you can do pooja(worship), touch divine shivling(shrine), for which I was really excited,leaving behind all our tiredness and everything. I consider myself very fortunate that I could do such a good job of offering water, milk, worship and touching the Shivlinga. Really God, Please give me this opportunity again soon.

Bheemshila

Bheemshila is Large rock Behind the Kedarnath Temple, it is said during the 2013 Heavy Flood in which around 5000 people died, even large Building all fell with the flow Of water But only the divine Kedarnath temple Stand,destructive force of the water Protected by the Bheemshila, this rock Protect the temple, now people worship this rock as making it a symbol of divine intervention and protection.

Kedarnath Temple 🕉️😇

The Kedarnath Temple is located at an elevation of approximately 3,583 meters (11,755 feet) above sea level. It is situated in the Rudra Himalaya range of Uttarakhand, India, near the Chorabari glacier, which is the source of the Mandakini river.

The Kedarnath shrine is surrounded by breathtakingly beautiful snow-covered mountains where you will find position vibes and peacful Surrounding.The temple complex at Kedarnath consists of several ancient buildings and structures built around a mandapam to penance, Inside the temple photography & videography strictly prohibited, Describing the inside beauty of temple is like 'm short of Words. Temple is small, where many devotees were there, willingness to see the kedar baba Shrine,there is a beautiful shivling made of black granite in the shape of Buffalo's Hump which marks the spot where Lord Shiva is believed to reside, even wall of temple were plated with 24 karat gold, even On the inner walls of the temple, there are sculptures of various deities and scenes from mythology. On the outside of the temple, there is a large statue of the Nandi Bull.

Sadhus (Monks)

Sadhus, or Hindu monks, are often present at Kedarnath Temple.

I do not believe in sadhus etc. The sadhus here are very money minded. If they apply even one tika on you, they will charge for that too. They will make you do the puja(worship) in the name of lord shiva and in return, you have to pay for it and I feel I have worshipped Divine Shivlinga,now I don't need to worship anywhere else.

Seriously my body is back but my heart and soul were lost in the snowy mountains and spirituality of lord Shiva. As it is surrounded by majestic snow-capped peaks, lush green valleys, and pristine river. nothing can be more beautiful than this, Heaven fo me. It is the perfect place allowing to connect with nature and find peace away from the hustle and buzy life.

In this blog I have told only about Kedarnath Temple, in the next blog I will also tell about the mountain beauty, spirituality and faith of Lord Shiva, Lord Shiva is everywhere in the mountains.
