At some places we
feel a disturbed mental attitude whereas at some other places we find the atmosphere
congenial and blissful. This can be attributed to the presence of bad or good spirits in
the neighborhood.
Some sages in the by gone days were praying to Lord Siva to show them a place where
meditation could be done peace fully. Theyalso prayed to the Creator of the Universe,
Brahma, to give them guidance to locate such a place on earth. Brahma collected sacred
grass (Darbha) and made a wheel out of it. He charged the wheel with sacred hymns and
ordained it to stop at the appropriate place, where sanctity prevails for spiritual
upliftment. The sages followed the path of the
wheel up to the northem bank of the sacred River Ganga where the wheel stopped. That place
is known as Naimisaranyam. |
