A TEMPLE FOR BHARATA |
|
|
Long before the
installation of Bharata, the place had something divinely unique about it. The
entire area was a dense forest inhabited by a community of rishis headed by Kulipini
Maharshi. They were engaged in incessant Yagas to please Mahavishnu. The Lord,
pleased by their penance and devotion, appeared before them and desired to know their
wish. All they wanted was His presence at the place. The Bhagawan readily
agreed.
The place was probably not inhabited for several hundred years. And when people came
to live here the divine chaitanya materialized in the form of Bharata as narrated in the
legend above. |
