In the heart of Chittorgarh, Rajasthan, the Samadhishvara Temple rises as a timeless symbol of faith and artistry. Dedicated to Lord Shiva, the sanctum enshrines a striking three-headed idol that reflects his many dimensions. Each face tells its own story – one fierce and commanding, another calm and serene, and the third carrying an enigmatic expression. Together, they embody the vastness of Shiva’s being. The temple’s origins trace back to the 11th century, when it is believed to have been commissioned by the Parmara king Bhoja. Some scholars suggest it may even predate him, but inscriptions from Chittor and beyond largely affirm that the shrine, originally known as Tri-Bhuvana, was established in this era. Over the following five centuries, it was restored and enriched multiple times, preserving its sacred legacy through the ages. #hindutemples #shivaform #rudra #templesofwonder #HindusOfTheWorld #hara #sadashiv #shivatemple #shivatemple🔱 #indiantemple #rajasthan #rajathantemple

Iksvp is honoured to share sacred glimpses from the second day of the Purnabhishek Sadhana Course. The day began with the regular Yoga Kram, an essential part of Siddha Dharm, which helps align the body, mind, and pranic energies in preparation for higher spiritual practices. This was followed by the Kaulachar Kram—a deeply reverential ritual performed as an act of kshama (seeking forgiveness) from the Devi-Devtas. Through this process, the sadhaks humbly express repentance for any known or unknown mistakes committed during their spiritual practices, thereby purifying their intentions before moving into deeper sadhanas. Later in the day, Kaulantak Peethādheeshwar Mahāsiddha Ishaputra graced the gathering with his divine presence to guide and empower the ongoing sadhana. Under his direction, several sacred rituals were performed, setting the stage for the main process of Purnabhishek Deeksha. The sequence included Shreevats Pooja, Yantra Pooja, and Tantra Pooja—each performed meticulously to invoke divine energies and sanctify the spiritual environment. As the night deepened, around midnight, the central and most profound ritual of Abhishek commenced. This sacred ceremony marked the culmination of the Deeksha Kram, symbolizing spiritual purification, divine initiation, and the awakening of higher consciousness within every participant. After the completion of the rituals, Mahāsiddha Ishaputra addressed all the Bhairavs and Bhairavis, answering their questions and providing invaluable spiritual guidance. His words illuminated the deeper meanings behind the practices, enriching the understanding of every seeker present. The Shivir concluded on a divine note, with each Bhairav and Bhairavi receiving one of the greatest spiritual gifts of their lives—the Purnabhishek Deeksha, a transformative initiation that marks a new dawn on their path of Siddha Dharm. #poornabhishek #purnabhishek #abhishek #sadhana #himalayantantra #himalayandevaparamapara #SiddhaDharma #SiddhaTradition #lordshiva #bhagwanshiv #mahadev #SwachhandBhairav #kurukulla #AncientWisdom #siddhapedia #KaulantakPeeth #KulantPeeth #Ishaputra #mahasiddhaishaputra #MahayogiSatyendraNath #meditation #sanatandharma #tantrikhealing #hiddendeities #transformation #spiritualjourney #HimalayanSiddhas #hindu #adhyaatma #himalayangod #scrolllink

The irony is that she can be herself & express herself with her choices, with her clothes in a Hindu temple but she knows that she can’t do that in a mosque because she will be whipped & put in the jail. #jail #express #cloths #mosque #temple #scrolllink

Rani Ki Vav at Patan, Gujarat also known as Queen's Stepwell Rani Ki Vav, Patan Queen's Stepwell, A UNESCO World Heritage Site Patan is a district in the state of Gujarat, located at 125kms distance from Ahmedabad. Patan was once the capital of the state in historic times located on the banks of the (lost) Saraswati River. Nestled in the hustle and bustle of the city Patan, lies an “Architectural Wonder” – Rani Ki Vav. It is also known as “Rani Ni Vav” in Gujarati local dialect. This is a 7 storeyed Magnificent Stepwell, which is built using scientific principles for storing water. Back in 11th century, Udaymati, Queen of the King Bhimadev I from Solanki(Chalukya) Dynasty, expressed her desire to build a stepwell. This stepwell, she ordered to build is in the memory of her beloved husband. Rani ki Vav is one of the UNESCO World Heritage sites in India. The new ₹100 rupee currency note has a picture of this stepwell. Let’s have a visual tour of Stepwell As you walk towards this site, it doesn’t appeal very much. Just a compound wall and some—Well Kept—landscaping work is done around it. The more you approach it, the more it starts appealing. When you reach the main entrance, the Jaw-Dropping view absorbs you in it. Perspective steps going deep down towards the well-shaft are accompanied by intricately carved idols of gods and goddesses. Each idol is as magnificent as if they are living things. The far end is of this stepwell—which is a well-shaft—is not even clearly visible from the first step. Constructional Aspects Rani ki Vav was constructed as a religious as well as a functional structure. The expanse of this stepwell is roughly 1610 sq.m. and 70m length from the base of Toran—Sacred Gateway—to the inner edge of well-shaft. Its 23m in width and 28m in depth. Rani Ki Vav is constructed like an inverted temple highlighting the sanctity of water. It is built on the East-West axis, “Step-Corridor” being in the east and “Well” on the west. Ceremonial Entrance (Toran Dwaar) The first architectural object you see as you step down, is the remains of a pillar base. This evidently confirms the presence of Toran Dwaar – A Ceremonial Entrance. In 19th century, a survey was conducted for Rani Ki Vav. James Burgess and Henry Cousens were two archeologists who had mentioned about these pillars in the survey. The Toran was comprised of 2 freely standing pillars, which were connected by an ornate arch at their upper sections. Towards the west side from this entrance, downward leading steps make a way to the edge of the well. Ceremonial Entrance (Toran Dwaar)Ceremonial Entrance (Toran Dwaar) Architecture and Decorative Work Rani ki vav is a seven storeyed and inverted temple like structure. It has 4 pavilions downwards from east to west and then lastly a Well Shaft. Below is a picture taken from first pavellion. You can see other 3 Pavilions as well. Rani ki Vav is a Maru-Gurjara style architecture. A style of “temple architecure” which is originated from the Gujarat & Rajasthan in historic times. All the 7 levels were open for public and tourists were able to go down to the well. Then there was a powerful earthquake in Bhuj which rocked the state of Gujarat in 2001. After this earchquake, out of 7 levels, only 4 levels are left open for public to ensure the safety & security. There is a great diversity of themes: Divine Figures: Devi or Goddess, Brahma, Vishnu, Shiva, Ganesha in their respective incarnations and form Sacred & Mythical Representation Figures: Dikpalas, Sacred flora and fauna, Apsara, Nagkanya, Vasus and scenes from epics Reflection of Contemporary Society Buddha, Kalki and Mahishasurmardini sculptureFrom left Buddha, Kalki and Mahishasurmardini Sculpture Mahishasurmardini is one of the forms of a goddess “Durga” who is killing a demon called Mahishasur. MahishasurmardiniMahishasurmardini Sculptures in Rani ki Vav are displayed in a pattern, where main deities are displayed in niches. These main deities are flanked by semi divine figures like Apsaras, Nagkanya, Dikpalas and Yogini.& Sheshshayi Vishnu Sculpture During medieval times in Gujarat, there was a tradition of installing “A Sheshshayi Vishnu” sculpture inside the Stepwell, Kunda or Temples. Which you can see in Modhera Sun Temple as well. Sheshshayi Vishnu is represented in 3 successive niches in 3 levels on the rear wall of the Well Shaft. One between the first and second pavillion on the niche of the north wall. In addition to this, out of 24 forms of the lord Vishnu, following forms are present in Rani ki Vav: Keshava, Narayana, Govinda, Vishnu, Trivikrama, Vamana, Sridhara, Padmanabha, Damodar, Samkarsana, Aniruddha, Purusottama, Narsimha, Hari. Moreover 10 famous incarnations are also represented. But among those 10 incarnations; Varah, Narsimha, Vaman, Parshuram, Ram, Balram, Buddha and Kalki (future incarnation at the end of Kaliyug) are clearly identified in Rani ki Vav. Buddha is shown as an incarnation of the lord Vishnu here. A Bhairav—fierce form of the lord Shiv—is represented in a dancing pose here. If you take a closer look down on his right side, the dog is snatching a piece from the decapitated corpse. Licking the blood oozing from the freshly cut head that Bhairava is holding in his hand. Vishnu On Left and Bhairav on rightVishnu On the Left and Bhairav on the Right Brahma, Mahesh & Vishnu With Their Consort When you reach near the well (at 4th pavillion) you can see the panel of “Brahma, Mahesh & Vishnu with Their Consort”. The Top left side of front wall is decorated with the idols of Tridev(Ttriple deity of Supreme Divinity in Hinduism). Their Vahan is also present near each of them, Swan, Bull and Garuda respectively. Front wall sculptures from bottom levelFront wall sculptures at base level Brahma Mahesh and Vishnu with their consortsBrahma Mahesh & Vishnu With Their Consort On the Top-Right side of the front wall, you can see Ganesh with his Consort and then Maha-Lakshmi and Kuber idols are also present. These three are considered as Gods of Luck. Other Sculptures in Rani ki Vav Dikpals (Guardians of Eight Directions) also appear on the walls of Rani ki Vav. 8 Vasus are present on the walls with human body and Cow head in folded hands (Namaskar position). Nav graha are represented in a complete set, over Sheshshayi Vishnu on the Well Shaft. Sun (Surya), Moon (Chandra), Mercury (Budha also known as Grahpati), Venus (Shukra), Mars (Mangal), Jupiter (Brihaspati), Saturn (Shani), Rahu and Ketu constitute Nine Planets called Nav Graha. Dikpal - Guardian of directionDikpal – Guardian of A Direction A Marble sculpture of 48cm height was recovered while de-silting in 1987-88. This sculpture has an inscription in devnagari(indian script) “Maharajani Shri Udayamati”. Due to time constraints, we did not get a chance to see this sculpture. Hence, have no idea where it is kept (May be in museum). Rani Ki Vav is built using burnt bricks, lime mortar, and locally available “Dhrangadhra” stone. Larger blocks of stones were joined by Rosewood Dowels and placed on the ground, forming the floor of the steps and terraces. Interlocking system with woodInterlocking System With Wood A small glass plate was attached at several places where cracks are visible. These cracks were developed after Bhuj’s Earthquake. Upon asking about the purpose of these glass plates, our guide told us they are attached to keep the track of changes in such sections. When the stress on such sections will be increased, these glass plates will break and give an indication for safety. #thehinduheritage #CulturalHeritage #thehindugodsandgoddesses #scrolllink #bharat

"Kundalini Awakening is nothing but Self- Unfoldment or Awakening of Intuitive Intelligence" “Serpent Power” (also known as Kuṇḍalinī Śakti) is among the deepest mystical concepts in the Indian spiritual tradition — uniting Tantra, Yoga, and Vedānta. Below is a clear and poetic exposition — “The Serpent Power: The Inner Ascent of Consciousness” 🕉️ The Serpent Power — The Inner Ascent of Consciousness. 1. The Sleeping Goddess at the Root At the base of the human spine, in the Mūlādhāra Chakra, lies a coiled, radiant energy known as Kuṇḍalinī — the “Serpent Power.” She is depicted as a three and a half–coiled serpent, resting in deep sleep, her tail in her mouth — symbolizing eternal energy folded within itself. This is not a mythic serpent but the latent spiritual potential — the Divine Mother (Ādi Śakti) asleep in matter, awaiting awakening. > “As fire lies hidden in wood, as fragrance rests in the flower, so Kuṇḍalinī lies hidden within man. 2. The Three and a Half Coils — The Mystic Symbol The three full coils represent the three guṇas — Sattva, Rajas, Tamas — and the half coil represents the transcendent power beyond them, the unmanifest consciousness (Turīya). Thus, the serpent’s coiling signifies that divine power is bound by nature (Prakṛti), yet ready to uncoil upward toward liberation (Mokṣa). 3. The Subtle Path — The Sushumnā When awakened through Yoga, Mantra, or Grace, Kuṇḍalinī rises through the central subtle channel (Sushumnā Nāḍi), piercing the six Chakras, each a lotus of consciousness: Chakra Location/ Element/ Function Mūlādhāra: Base of spine /Earth/ Stability, foundation Svādhiṣṭhāna : Pelvic region /Water /Emotion, desire Maṇipūra : Navel /Fire / Will, power Anāhata: Heart / Air / Love, compassion Viśuddha: Throat /Ether/ Purity, expression Ājñā : Between eyebrows / Mind/ Insight, intuition Sahasrāra; /Crown/- Beyond elements, Union with the Absolute At each chakra, her ascent transforms instinct into intuition, and energy into awareness. 4. The Serpent and the Staff — Yogic Alchemy. In many cultures, the serpent entwined on a staff (like the Caduceus) symbolizes the same truth — the dual currents (Idā and Piṅgalā Nāḍīs) winding around the central axis (Sushumnā). When these two energies are balanced — solar and lunar, active and passive, mind and prāṇa — then the serpent awakens and ascends through the spine, joining the thousand-petalled lotus above the head — the seat of Śiva-consciousness. > The sleeping Mother rises to meet the silent Father. Their union births illumination. 5. The Descent of Grace and the Ascent of Power. The yogic path is not only ascent of Kuṇḍalinī (Śakti), but also the descent of Grace (Śiva). When the upward movement of energy (Urdhva Shakti) and the downward movement of divine grace (Anugraha Shakti) meet at the Heart center (Anāhata), there arises Samādhi — the fusion of the finite and the infinite. > “When Śakti unites with Śiva, the body becomes a temple, the mind becomes the sky, and awareness blooms like a thousand-petalled lotus.” 6. The Mystic Experience. When Kuṇḍalinī pierces each chakra, it brings visions, sounds, lights, and bliss — but these are by-products. The true awakening is the dawning of silent awareness, the recognition — > “I am That.” ( Truth- Being- Existence- Consciousness and Bliss) At the summit, the Serpent Power dissolves in Pure Consciousness, and there remains no seeker, no path — only Chaitanya, the radiant Self- Truth - Being - Existence - Consciousness and Bliss or Brahma. 7. The Esoteric Meaning of the Serpent The serpent has always symbolized: Wisdom — self-renewing, immortal, cyclical. Energy — coiled potential. Transformation — death of ego and rebirth in spirit. Thus, the Serpent Power is not to be feared but revered — it is the divine creative pulse within the human body, the living bridge between matter and spirit. 8. The Quintessence > Kuṇḍalinī is the Divine Mother, asleep in matter. Her awakening is the spiritual rebirth of the seeker. The chakras are stations of consciousness, not physical points. The union of Śiva and Śakti within is Self-realization. > The Serpent rises not to escape the earth, but to illumine it. Summary Table: Symbolic Meaning: Serpent: Dormant Divine Energy Chakras : Levels of Awareness Sushumnā : Central Channel of Spirit Awakening: Transformation of Consciousness. Union: Liberation – Sahasrāra Samādhi. 🌺 In essence: The Serpent Power is the story of consciousness remembering itself. It is Shakti longing for Shiva, energy yearning for awareness, and when they unite — the universe shines within you as your own Self. Thus Kundalini Awakening is nothing but Self- Unfoldment or Awakening of Intuitive Intelligence. #kundalini #chakra #nagas #awakning #iksvp #siddhaDharma #tantra #yoga #scrolllink

Sambhala Samrajya Diwas is celebrated every year on the auspicious occasion of Sharad Purnima, marking the divine appearance of Maa Kurukulla Bhagwati, a radiant and powerful form of Devi Parvati. According to the ancient Siddha Dharma tradition, there came a time when Devi Parvati expressed her wish to attain supreme knowledge. Lord Shiva, smiling compassionately, reminded her that all wisdom already resided within her, for she herself is the embodiment of divine knowledge. Yet, acknowledging her sacred play, Shiva agreed to impart the ultimate wisdom, saying that to truly receive and assimilate this profound knowledge, she must first manifest in her Kurukulla form—the aspect of the Goddess who governs knowledge, attraction, and siddhi (spiritual accomplishment). Thus, on the full moon night of Sharad Purnima, Devi Parvati manifested as Maa Kurukulla Bhagwati, glowing with divine brilliance. To bestow this sacred knowledge upon her, Lord Shiva manifested as Swachchhand Bhairava, the free and boundless aspect of Mahadeva, and created the divine realm of Sambhala Lok. Within this mystical and sacred domain, Lord Shiva transmitted the complete and eternal wisdom of Siddha Dharma to Maa Kurukulla. This sacred transmission marked the beginning of the Siddha Dharma Parampara, the lineage of enlightened knowledge that has since flowed unbroken through the ages. After receiving the wisdom, Maa Kurukulla created various Kulas (spiritual lineages), each embodying unique streams of knowledge. These teachings were received and preserved by the Mahasiddhas, ensuring the continuation and protection of Siddha Dharma through countless generations. Within the revered Kaulantak Peeth, Sambhala Samrajya Diwas is regarded as one of the most sacred and auspicious days of the year. On this day, all Bhairavas and Bhairavis, the dedicated disciples and followers of Kaulantak Nath, come together to perform special worship and rituals in honor of Maa Kurukulla Bhagwati. The celebrations culminate in the Kala Pradarshan, a sacred performance of art, dance, and music that symbolizes the creative expression of divine energy. The day is not merely a festival but a spiritual remembrance—an invocation of the moment when eternal wisdom descended into the universe and when the Goddess herself became the vessel of divine knowledge. Sambhala Samrajya Diwas thus stands as a celebration of the eternal unity of Shiva and Shakti, the harmony of knowledge and devotion, and the timeless flow of divine wisdom through the sacred Siddha tradition.
