Shivashakti aksh rekha: The history of Indian culture is full of amazing mysteries. One of these mysteries is the Shiva Shakti Axis line. There are 8 ancient Shiva temples of the country on this straight line. The alignment of this mysterious line extending from Kedarnath to Rameswaram is exactly 79 ° Eastern longitude. This is not a surprising coincidence. It is considered a proof of advanced astronomical and geographical understanding of ancient India.
There are many principles about the alignment of these temples. Some believe that these temples are built in line with geomorphic energy lines, while some consider it an ancient way to facilitate religious tourism.
One of the ancient temples of India, the most popular alignment starts from Kedarnath located in the north and goes to Rameswaram in the south. The major Shiva temples present on this line include Kedarnath, Srikalahasti, Ekambareshwar, Thiruvannamalai, Thiruvanacwal, Chidambaram Natraj, Rameswaram and Kaleshwaram. All these temples are located on 79 ° E longitude, indicating that ancient Indian architects and sages had deep knowledge of astronomy, geography and energy centers.
Experts believe that the construction of temples in this line is not a coincidence. In ancient times, Indian scholars had a wonderful understanding of mapping and astronomy. Some researchers say that these temples were built keeping in mind the earth's geomagnetic energy lines. Some theories also say that this alignment may be associated with cosmic energy and natural balance. Eye alignment of temples appears that they are associated with some divine power and maintain a special energy flow.
Historians believe that in ancient India, mathematicians and architects were aware of making such accuracy that they aligned these temples in a straight line without any modern equipment. This fact reflects the advanced state of Indian science and architecture.
According to another theory, one of the objectives of this alignment was to make the religious journey easier. In olden times, when there was no facility of roads or directions, this alignment would have been prepared to guide the pilgrims. If a devotee wanted to travel to these temples, then he had to keep walking in a straight direction, which made the journey easier.
Another important perception is associated with Panchabhut (5 elements). Panchabhut in Indian tradition: Earth, water, fire, air and sky are considered the basis of life. It is believed that these elements are represented in these temples of India:
Earth Elements – Ekambareshwar Temple
Water Tattva – Jambukeshwar Temple
Fire Elements – Annamalaiar Temple
Air Elements – Sri Kala Hasti Temple
Akash element – Chidambaram Natraj Temple
According to this belief, visiting these temples gives balance to the person spiritually and physically.
