The
Glory of Kasi
Skanda purana embodies the origin of this holy place and narrates
several glories connected with the sports of Lord Maheswar played in
this thirtha kshetra. It is Maheswar's capital, and He abides in it
enternally. Bhaktavasankar - the Omni benevolent God is the supreme
brilliance and shines in all His resplendent splendour to light up
the way for his children's Nirvana-kas to shine; he releases the
worshippers from the shackles of Punarjanma. To live, or die in Kasi
is considered meritorious and several millions of devout Hindus
prefer living here in the last stage of their life. Some go to the
extent of taking the vow of kshetrasanyasa -- living in the presence
of deity, and under no circumstances going beyond five knosas of
Lord Mahadev; for, dying in Kasi ensures liberation -- from the
wheel of transmigration.
