Today a fascinating mythology topic..
According to Hindu mythology, Kali, the goddess of time, change, and destruction, is said to not enter the following places:
- Venkateswara Temple (Tirupati): It’s believed that Kali was not allowed to enter this temple, as Lord Venkateswara (Vishnu) wanted to protect his devotees from her fierce energy.
- Srirangam Temple (Tamil Nadu): This temple is dedicated to Lord Ranganatha (Vishnu), and it’s said that Kali was not permitted to enter, as the lord wanted to maintain the temple’s peaceful atmosphere.
- Puri Jagannath Temple (Odisha): According to legend, Kali was not allowed to enter this temple, as Lord Jagannath (Krishna) wanted to protect his devotees from her intense energy.
These stories highlight the complex and multifaceted nature of Kali, who is both revered and feared in Hindu mythology.
Namisha Aranya!
according to Hindu mythology, Kali is not allowed to enter Namisha Aranya, a sacred forest.
Namisha Aranya is considered a place of great spiritual significance, where the gods themselves come to meditate and attain spiritual growth. The forest is said to be filled with divine energy, and Kali’s fierce and destructive powers are not allowed to enter this sacred space.
In fact, it’s said that Kali was once attempting to enter Namisha Aranya, but was stopped by Lord Vishnu himself, who told her that her presence would disrupt the peaceful and spiritual atmosphere of the forest.
Namisha Aranya in the end of Dwapar Yuga!
According to Hindu mythology, after the end of the Dwapar Yuga, all the great rishis (sages) and munis (ascetics) gathered in Namisha Aranya.
At this sacred site, the rishis performed intense austerities and penances, seeking to attain spiritual liberation and enlightenment. The atmosphere in Namisha Aranya was said to be charged with spiritual energy, making it an ideal location for the rishis to focus on their spiritual pursuits.
In fact, it’s said that Lord Vishnu himself appeared before the rishis in Namisha Aranya, imparting spiritual knowledge and guiding them on their path to self-realization.
The gathering of the rishis in Namisha Aranya marked the end of the Dwapar Yuga and the beginning of the Kali Yuga, the current era in which we live.
Until then, may you be blessed with wisdom, peace, and happiness!
