Neelkanth, Shvetkanth Kaudilla sitting on the peak of Champanagar Shiv Temple in Bhagalpur. Shadow: Rajkishore
Digital Desk, Bhagalpur. Champanagar is a famous place in Nathnagar area of Bhagalpur. Where Neelkanth and White-throated Cowdilla birds were sitting on the hood of the snake above the Shiva temple. During this time, Dainik Jagran's photographer Rajkishore captured this scene in his camera. This scene is not just a coincidence but an auspicious sign for the devotees. This can be considered as a proof of the awakened energy of that temple of Champanagar and the presence of Mahadev. Only fortunate people get such darshan.
Indicator of good luck, victory and prosperity
Storyteller Rishikesh Ji Maharaj, astrologer of Siyaram Jyoti Shodh Sansthan, says that Lord Shiva is also known as Neel Kantheshwar. When Lord Shiva drank the poison that came out of the churning of the ocean, his body turned blue. It is believed that the Neelkanth bird is a symbol of Lord Shiva and its darshan is as fruitful as seeing Shiva. If this bird is seen near a Shiva temple then it should be considered as a true darshan of Shiva. It is an indicator of good luck, victory and prosperity. Shiva appeared in this form to free Lord Rama from the crime of killing a Brahman after his victory over Ravana. Therefore, seeing Neelkanth near the Shiva temple or on the peak is a very auspicious sign.
"Neelkanth" is a name of Mahadev himself.
Acharya Sampoornanand of Ved Vidyapeeth Gurudham Baunsi Gurudham says that this is indeed a very rare and devotional scene. This view of the Shiva temple of Champanagar has a very deep significance from the religious point of view. "Neelkanth" is a name of Mahadev himself, which he assumed after consuming poison during the churning of the ocean. The sitting of Neelkanth on the peak of Shiva temple, especially on the snake, and its darshan shows that Mahadev is showering his blessings on you.
symbol of victory and good fortune
Acharya Sampoornanand said that the darshan of Neelkanth is considered extremely auspicious on "Vijayadashami" and other auspicious occasions. By merely seeing it, man's sins are destroyed and he attains success in his work. Its sitting on the hood of the snake is a sign of the end of enemy obstacles and spiritual progress. The serpent situated above the Shivalinga or temple symbolizes the Kundalini Shakti and the balance of the earth's weight. Snakes and birds are considered natural opponents of each other in nature. When a bird sits on the hood of a snake without any fear, it symbolizes "ultimate peace" and the end of malice. This shows that after taking shelter of Shiva, all living beings forget their enmity and become united.
