Mahakaleshwar Jyotirlinga Temple Prasadam

About :

When did the Mahakala temple first come in existence, is difficult to tell. However, the event may be assigned to the Pre-historic period. Puranas narrate that it was first established by Prajapita Brahma. There is reference to the appointment of prince Kumarasena by king Chanda Pradyota in 6th c. BC for looking after the law and order situations of Mahakala temple. The punch-marked coins of Ujjain, belonging to 4th-3rd c. BC, bear the figure of Lord Siva on them. Mahakala temple is also mentioned in several ancient Indian poetic texts. According to these texts, the temple had been very magnificent and magnanimous. Its foundation and platform were built of stones. The temple rested on the wooden pillars. There had been no sikharas on the temples prior to the Gupta period. The roofs of temples had mostly been flat. Possibly due to this fact, Kalidasa in Raghuvansam described this temple as ‘Niketana’. The palace of the king had been in the vicinity of the temple. In the early part of the Meghadutam (Purva Megha), Kalidasa gives a fascinating description of the Mahakala temple.

It appears that this Chandisvara temple might have been a unique example of the then art and architecture. It may be ascertained that how splendid had been the temple of the main Deity of that town which possessed multi-storeyed gold-plated palaces and buildings and the superb artistic grandeur. The temple was enclosed by high ramparts attached with the entry-gates.At twilight the lively rows of glittering lamps enlightened the temple-complex. The whole atmosphere echoed with the sound of various musical instruments. Thecharming and well-decorated damsels added a lot in the aesthetic beauty of the temple. The echo of the Jaya-dhvani (Let the Lord be victories) of the assembly of the devotees was heard far and wide. Priests remained busy in worshipping the Deity and chanting eulogies. The Vedic hymns were recited and Stutis were sung, the painted walls and well-carved images projected the artistic heights of the day.Mahakaleshwar is the Lord of time and Death. One of the 12 jyotirlingas in India, the lingam at Mahakal is acknowledged to be swayambhu (thought about itself) deducing energies of power (shakti) from inside itself as against substitute pictures and lingams which are generally settled and contributed with mantra-shakti.

The asylum has five levels, one of that is underground. Metal lights light the way to the underground sanctum or Garbha Griha where the Jyotirlinga is organized. The Linga is enormous in size and is orbited by a snake of silver. On one side of the Linga there is the image of Lord Ganesha while on the opposite side, symbols of Goddess Parvati and Kartikeya are presented. The image of Mahakaleshwar is known to be dakshinamurti, which infers that it is defying the south. This is an exceptional contrivance, kept up with by the tantric shivnetra custom to be found simply in Mahakaleshwar among the 12 Jyotirlingas.
