LORD TRYAMBAKESHWAR OF NASIK

MONASTERIES AND SAMADHIS

Yatra will be incomplete without visiting a few famous monasteries and samadhis of many illustrious godmen, who stayed and expired here. Among them Brahmanand Maharaj, Ram Mahadev, Jagannatha Maharaj, Mauni Baba, Aradhi Maharaj are famous and they raised the glory of this place by their spiritual eminence. Here lived in the past innumerable sadhus and mendicants of several orders, like Niramani sadhus, Dasmani sadhus, Udasi sadhus along with the renowned Nath sampradayanis. Their festivals being celebrated with great pomp at different periods, they make this holy land a veritable Bhulokaswarga. On account of several kinds of the sadhus, like Jaganamis and Nirvanis moving about stark naked, and carrying on their activities, this place appears as a miniature representation of a spectacular divergency imbedded in this Hindu India, displaying its catholicity and universality at its best. This synthesis of divergent faiths make the kshetra a microcosim of the spiritual life of India. Moreover, this fusion of myraid - cultures found existing sans clash speaks volumes of the glory of this holy kshetra that gas indeed won a dazzling diamond decked crown to the Mother Bharat. Nasik has a uniqueness that is unique among the centres of pilgrimage in India. Nasik and Tryambak have occupied the most exalted place in the religious map of India.
