These five temples were built according to Yoga Science, and have been placed in a certain geographical alignment with each other. There will certainly be science that will affect the human body.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size: 14pt; font-family: 'times new roman', times, serif;\">These temples were constructed about four thousand years ago when there was no satellite technology available to measure the latitude and longitude of those places. So how was the five temples so accurately established?<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size: 14pt; font-family: 'times new roman', times, serif;\">There is a distance of 2383 km between Kedarnath and Rameswaram. But all these temples fall in almost the same parallel line. After all, thousands of years ago, the technology with which these temples had been built in a parallel line is a mystery to this day. The Shimmer lamp in the Srikalahasti temple shows that it represents AIR Linga. The water spring in the inner plateau of the Thiruvanikka temple represents WATER-Linga. The huge lamp on the Annamalai hill represents FIRE-Linga. The Sawanbhu Linga of the sands of Kanchipuram represents the EARTH Linga and the incorporeal (NIRAKAR) state of Chidambaram is r epresenting as the incorporeal, heavens (AKASH) Eather element of God. Flickering lamps in the SriKalahasti temple shows the play of wind (respiration of Vayu Linga), Water spring in the innermost sanctum of the Tiruvanaikka temple shows the temple\u2019s relationship to the element water, <\/span><span style=\"font-size: 14pt; font-family: 'times new roman', times, serif;\">Annual Kartikai Deepam (giant lamp is lighted atop the Annamalai hill) shows the Annamalaiyaar\u2019s manifestation as fire, Swayambhu lingam of sand at Kanchipuram signifies the Siva\u2019s association with the earth while the formless space (Akasa) at Chidambaram shows the association of lord with formlessness or nothingness.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size: 14pt; font-family: 'times new roman', times, serif;\">What is more surprising now is that the five Lingas, representing the five elements of the universe, had been installed centuries ago in a similar line. Indeed we should be proud of our ancestors \u2018knowledge and intelligence that they had that advanced science and technology that even modern science has perhaps yet to achieve. It is believed that it is not only the five temples but also many more temples in this line which lie in the straight line from Kedarnath to Rameswaram. This line is also called the \u201cSHIVA SHAKTI AKSH Rekha\u201d. It is likely to have been made by keeping the entire temple of Kailash in the regions which falls in 81.3119\u00b0 E!? The answer only the Universe knows. &#8230;<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size: 14pt; font-family: 'times new roman', times, serif;\"><a href=\"http:\/\/tehelka.com\/guess-what-is-common-between-all-the-prominent-temples\/54c\/\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-322236\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\" wp-image-322236 aligncenter\" src=\"http:\/\/tehelka.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/54c-300x184.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"590\" height=\"362\" srcset=\"https:\/\/tehelka.com\/media\/2020\/04\/54c-300x184.jpg 300w, https:\/\/tehelka.com\/media\/2020\/04\/54c-696x426.jpg 696w, https:\/\/tehelka.com\/media\/2020\/04\/54c-741x455.jpg 741w, https:\/\/tehelka.com\/media\/2020\/04\/54c-686x420.jpg 686w, https:\/\/tehelka.com\/media\/2020\/04\/54c.jpg 743w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 590px) 100vw, 590px\" \/><\/a>Isn\u2019t it amazing?\u00a0 Mahakal?\u00a0 What is the relationship between the Shiva Jyotirlingams&#8230;&#8230;??<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><strong><span style=\"font-size: 14pt; font-family: 'times new roman', times, serif;\">The distance of the remaining Jyotirlingams from Ujjain is also interesting:<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size: 14pt; font-family: 'times new roman', times, serif;\">Ujjain to Somnath-777 km<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size: 14pt; font-family: 'times new roman', times, serif;\">Ujjain to Omkareshwar-111 km<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size: 14pt; font-family: 'times new roman', times, serif;\">Ujjain to Bhimashankar-666 km<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size: 14pt; font-family: 'times new roman', times, serif;\">Kashi Vishwanath from <\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"font-size: 14pt; font-family: 'times new roman', times, serif;\">Ujjain-999 km<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size: 14pt; font-family: 'times new roman', times, serif;\">From Ujjain, Mallikarjun-999 km<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size: 14pt; font-family: 'times new roman', times, serif;\">Kedarnath from <\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"font-size: 14pt; font-family: 'times new roman', times, serif;\">Ujjain-888 km<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size: 14pt; font-family: 'times new roman', times, serif;\">Ujjain to Tryanbakeshwar-555 km<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size: 14pt; font-family: 'times new roman', times, serif;\">Ujjain to Baijnath-999 km<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size: 14pt; font-family: 'times new roman', times, serif;\">Rameswaram-1999 km from Ujjain<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size: 14pt; font-family: 'times new roman', times, serif;\">From Ujjain to Nauseshwara-555 km<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size: 14pt; font-family: 'times new roman', times, serif;\">How people have constructed temples separated by thousands of miles (2383 km between Kedarnath and Rameswaram) on almost same longitude, remains a mystery. There was nothing in Hinduism without any reason.\u00a0 Ujjain is considered to be the centre of the Earth. As a centre for thousands of years in Sanatan Dharma, a man-made instrument for calculating the sun and astrology in Ujjain has also been created about 2050 years ago.\u00a0 And when the imaginary line on Earth Imaginary was created by the British scientist about 100 years ago, the central part of it was Ujjain.
