According to Shiva Purana, when Lord Ganesh was married of before his Kartikeya, and because of this brother Kartikeya became angry. Despite being stopped and consoled by his parents Shiv-Parvati, Kartikeya went away to the Kraunch Mountain. Even the Gods went and tried consoling Kartikeya but all their efforts were in vain. Because of this incident Shiv-Parvati were very sad and both decided that they would themselves go to Kraunch Mountain.

Sharada peetam Sringeri

2008-12-22T21:40:00.000-08:00

Information about Sringeri
Hindu reformer and exponent of the Advaita Vedanta philosophy. It is located on the banks of the river Tunga, in Karnataka, India. In a popular legend, Adi Sankaracharya is said to have selected the site when, walking by the Tunga river, he saw a cobra with a raised hood, providing shelter from the hot sun, to a frog about to spawn. Four mathas were eventually established by Sankara, in the north (Jyotirmath, near Badrinath), south (Sringeri), east (Puri), and west (Dwaraka) of India.

The name Sringeri is derived from Rishyasringa-giri, a nearby hill that is believed to have contained the hermitage of Rishi Vibhandaka and his son Rishyasringa. Rishyasringa appears in an episode in the Bala-Kanda of the Ramayana where a story, narrated by Vasishta, relates how Rishyasringa brought rains to the drought-stricken kingdom of Romapada.

The most important temple at Sringeri is the Vidyashankara temple, built in the 14th century by Vidyaranya, patron-saint of Harihara and Bukka, the brothers who founded the Vijayanagara empire. Inscriptions in the temple record contributions made by several Vijayanagara emperors, though the temple was probably built on an earlier Hoysala site, and combines the Hoysala and Vijayanagara architectural features.

New year party welcome new year Goa beaches

2008-12-02T22:34:00.000-08:00

Happy new year
Goa is a fun destination and tourists have many ways to party. Dance with the pulsating Goan trance on the soft sands of Goa beaches with a glass of feni and feel the magic of a fun-filled holiday vacation. Drive to the border of Calangute and Candolim to start your last December evening at the Pine Shack.
A bonfire or a beachside barbeque is organised for the tourists and the ambience swells to burst in merriment. Play a guitar or listen to the world famous Goa’s trance music or somebody’s freshly acquired rave CDs, or just listen to the rhythm of the waves coming in while you sip your favourite cocktail. End your evening with a party cruise on the Mandovi River.
There is music and dancing together with a mouthwatering cuisine, and you have lovely views to behold. If you are staying in a beach resort or hotel, you can have a gala time. The opulent loobies are trimmed with radiant ribbons and exquisite parquetry, that make them a holiday paradise.
Nights pulsate with Christmas songs which eventually lead up to Goan trance as the night continues. You can also extend your holiday till February when you can be a part of the world famous Goa carnival. Be a part of the colourful parades of music and lavish floats, that gifts the sun kisssed sands of Goa a new life for three days.
The celebration of the new year is the oldest of all holidays and dates back to the ancient Babylon about 4000 years ago. Although the early Catholic Church condemned the festivities as paganism, today you can see the white washed chapels of Goa being decorated in Christmas which continues till the beginning of new year.
Adorned in colouful papers and poinsettias, the whole ambience of the sacred churches illuminate with the vibrant aroma of candles that create a magnificent sight. Since this is a time when the whole world makes plan for a holiday, it makes it easier for people - who stay abroad but close to our hearts – to return home and experience the thrill of celebrating the new year with family and friends.
Parties often last into the middle of the night after the ringing in of a new year with a belief that what one eats or does on the first day affects the luck throughout the year. It is indeed a fun to celebrate the first few minutes with persons close to our heart and this may be the reason that we await January 1 for the whole year.

Manali has a pre-historic legend behind its name. Vaivasvata, the seventh incarnation of Manu, the first creation according to Hindu mythology, found a tiny fish in his bathing water. The fish told him to look after it with devotion, for one day it would do him a great service. The seventh Manu cared for the fish until it grew so huge that he released it into the sea. Before departing, the fish warned Manu of an impending deluge when the entire world would be submerged and bade him to build a seaworthy ark. When the flood came, Matsya (fish), the first avatar of Lord Vishnu, towed Vaivasvata and the Seven Sages to safety. As the waters subsided, the seventh Manu's ark came to rest on a hillside and the place was named Manali after him.
