English Short Ep -08 | Giri Valam Secrets | THIRUVANNAMALAI GIRIVALAM |

Описание: "The Rig Veda mentions Arunachala Hill as a manifestation of Sada Shiva himself. Located in Tiruvannamalai City, Tamil Nadu, India, Arunachala stretches for more than 30 kilometers (3 Yojans in Sanskrit) and is considered the preferred abode of various spiritual beings – Devas, Siddhas, Maharshis, Vidyadharas, Yakshas, Gandharvas, and Apsaras.

Arunachala Hill is revered as more sacred than Mount Meru, Mount Kailasha, Mount Mandara, and even the entire Himalayas. Dwellers of this holy place are believed to attain liberation effortlessly, making it a preferred abode even for residents of Swarga (heaven).

According to legend, Goddess Parvati performed austerities on Arunachala to win over Lord Shiva. Her devotion manifested in the form of Ardhanarishwara, where Shiva and Parvati appear as one being, with Parvati occupying the left half.

The Skanda Purana recounts Maharshi Gautama telling Goddess Parvati that Lord Shiva himself declared to Vishnu and Brahma, ""I reside on Earth as Arunachala."" Lord Shiva said, Arunachala bestows all siddhis (perfections), cures all diseases, destroys sins, and grants all boons. The 14 km Giri Pradakshina is regarded as Maha-Yoga (Supreme Union with God) and carries huge importance for over 5 Million visitors coming to this most peaceful holy hill every year.
