UNIQUENESS
The waxing and waning snow-linga of Amarnath, considered to be one
of greatest phenomena of Nature is a wonder of wonders of our punya
Bharat, luring several thousands of pilgrims every year, in the
months of Sravana and Bhadrapada. This nature-made lima is imbued
with such mystery and sanctity that it is exercising an irresistible
fascination over ardent Saivates in particular and theists in
general, since time immemorial. According to tradition, it is here
Maheswar, the all-benevolent Lord distributed amrit nectar to Mukkoti
devathas to making them immortal and immune against the
danavakrityas of asuras. And they in greatful devotion named him
Amarnalh. It is here, on one full moon night, Lord Maheswar
explained to Parvathi the secrets of creation together with
attainment of Moksha. And it is this sacred spot that witnessed the
metamorphosis of Uma Maheswar into doves, when His narration of
secret was overheard by his birthyas-servants.
