Historical Significance

In general terms a Jyotirlingam is a representation of our supreme Lord Shiva. Literally translating into Light image (Jyoti – light; lingam – image or sign), this word also means ‘radiant sign of the almighty Shiva’. There are 12 holy shrines dedicated to being the jyotirlinga of the almighty lord. The creation of these holy sites goes back to centuries and Yugs back during Sat Yug when the Gods used to reside on earth. According to Shiva Mahapurana an argument ensued between Brahma and Vishnu who were claiming supremacy over the creation of the world. in order to settle the debate the supreme Lord Shiva decided to pierce through the three worlds in the form of a brilliantly bright and huge pillar of light which was the first creation of jyotirlingas and which had later cooled on to form the Annamalai ranges. Both Brahma and Vishnu were then asked to find the end point of these beams of lights by going upwards as well as downwards. Brahma lied to Lord Shiva by saying that he had found the end before Vishnu, while Vishnu had accepted his defeat since he had not reached the end point. This lie by Brahma greatly angered Shiva who then cursed him that nobody in the entire universe will ever worship him. Later on shrines were made on the regions where Shiva had appeared in the form of a fiery column of light.

Jyotirlingas are the reincarnation of lord Shiva on earth. It is legend that to a devout Shiva baktha, these lingams would appear like fiery columns of light. Shrines of jyotirlingas are viewed as places where people wash off all their earthly sins and seek moksha.

The history behind the origin of jyotirlingas is that once Brahma and Vishnu had a huge clash among themselves to prove themselves as the superior one. Finally Shiva intervened and took the form a huge pillar and gave a task to find the ends of the pillar. The pillar was a never-ending one which encompassed the entire universe and in despair, brahma asked a flower to lie in support of him. Furious by Brahma’s action Shiva cursed Brahma that there would be no temples in his name ever and till today the flower is not used in any sort of puja.

The twelve jyotirlingas are Somnath in Gujarat, Mallikarjuna at Srisailam in Andra Pradesh, Mahakaleswar at Ujjain in Madhya Pradesh, Omkareshwar in Madhya Pradesh, Kedarnath in Himalayas, Bhimashankar in Maharashtra, Viswanath at Varanasi in Uttar Pradesh, Triambakeshwar in Maharashtra, Vaidyanath Jyotirlinga at Deogarh in Jharkhand, Aundha Nagnath at Aundha Nagnath in Maharashtra, Rameshwar at Rameswaram in Tamil Nadu and Grishneshwar at Ellora near Aurangabad, Maharashtra.

Though there are 64 jyotirlingas in India, these 12 are considered to be most auspicious and holy amongst the Hindu community. All the devotees who cover the holy circuit including all twelve lingams of Lord Shiva are believed to get enlightenment & nirvana.

12 Jyotirlinga Darshan in One Year: A Unique Tour Programme

We at Waytoindia.com organize a unique tour program which we prefer to call as 12 Jyotirlinga in One Year.

This program enrolls the Shiv Bhakts for a year-long program in which every month or alternate month we organize a tour to one or more Jyotirlingas, such that, for one complete year, the Shiv Bhakts are able to complete their 12 Jyotirlinga Yatra.

The best part of this initiative is that while someone who has not even started their Jyotirlinga Yatra can do all the 12 Jyotirlinga in a year, others who might have been to one or more of the Jyotirlingas can choose the once which are still not done and only join for those Jyotirlingas which they have still not visited.

Since the calendar of tours is shared well in advance, the Yatris can plan their travel accordingly.

12 Jyotirlingas: Embracing the Divine

Embarking on the 12 Jyotirlinga tour is not just about visiting temples; it’s a journey into the heart of spirituality and self-discovery. Each Jyotirlinga, or ‘pillar of light,’ represents a different manifestation of Lord Shiva and holds a unique story that resonates with the cosmic energy of the universe. The pilgrimage across India’s diverse landscapes, from snow-capped mountains to coastal shores, offers a profound insight into the spiritual tapestry that is woven into the fabric of this country.

What is the best time to undertake the 12 Jyotirlinga tour?

The best time to undertake the 12 Jyotirlinga tour largely depends on the geographic locations of these temples and the climatic conditions prevalent in those regions. However, considering the diverse locations spread across India, here are some general guidelines:

1. Winter Season (October to March):

Winter is generally the most recommended time for the 12 Jyotirlinga tour, as the weather in most parts of India, especially in the northern, central, and western regions, is cooler and more pleasant. Temples like Kedarnath (closed during winter), Somnath, Mahakaleshwar, Omkareshwar, and Trimbakeshwar are more accessible and comfortable to visit during these months. Do note that Kedarnath, located in the Himalayan range, is only open from April/May (Akshaya Tritiya) to October/November (Kartik Purnima), so plan accordingly.

2. Early Summer (March to April):

This period is also favorable, especially for visiting the temples located in the northern and central parts of India, before the harsh summer heat sets in. For Kedarnath, early summer marks the beginning of the pilgrimage season.

3. Monsoon (July to September):

This season can be challenging for pilgrimages, especially for temples located in areas prone to heavy rainfall, such as Maharashtra and Gujarat, where Bhimashankar and Trimbakeshwar are located. However, the scenic beauty during the monsoon can be captivating. Travel during this time requires caution due to slippery roads and the potential for landslides, especially in the case of temples located in hilly areas.

4. Post-Monsoon (September to November):

The period just after the monsoon is another excellent time for the Jyotirlinga tour as the weather is pleasant, and the natural surroundings are lush and vibrant. This time is also suitable for visiting South Indian temples like Rameshwar.

General Tips:

• Festivals: Plan your visit around major Hindu festivals like Maha Shivratri, Shravan Maas, or Navratri if you wish to experience the temples in their full ceremonial grandeur. However, expect larger crowds during these times.
• Regional Climates: Consider the specific climate and weather conditions of each temple’s location. For instance, temples in the south like Rameshwar might be more comfortable to visit in the cooler months, while those in the north like Kedarnath are inaccessible in winter due to snow.
• Health and Fitness: Some Jyotirlingas, like Kedarnath, require a significant amount of trekking. Ensure you are in good health and prepare accordingly.
• Advance Planning: Accommodations near these temples can get booked up quickly, especially during peak pilgrimage seasons and festivals, so plan and book your stays well in advance.

Ultimately, the “best” time can vary based on individual preferences, health considerations, and spiritual goals. Therefore, consider these factors along with the seasonal climates when planning your 12 Jyotirlinga tour.

Can I complete the 12 Jyotirlinga tour in parts?

Yes, you can certainly complete the 12 Jyotirlinga tour in parts, and many pilgrims choose this approach due to the vast geographical spread of the temples across India, time constraints, and varying climatic conditions. Here’s how you can plan your pilgrimage in segments:

1. Regional Segmentation:

Divide the 12 Jyotirlingas based on their geographical locations into zones – North, South, East, and West. This way, you can focus on one area at a time, which makes the journey more manageable and less taxing. For example:

• North: Kedarnath, Kashi Vishwanath
• South: Rameshwar, Mallikarjuna
• East: Baidyanath
• West: Nageshwar, Somnath, Trimbakeshwar, Grishneshwar, Bhimashankar, Mahakaleshwar, Omkareshwar

2. Seasonal Planning:

Plan your visits based on the best time to travel to each region, as discussed previously. For example, visit the northern temples during the summer months and the southern ones during winter to avoid extreme weather conditions.

3. Physical and Mental Preparation:

Some Jyotirlingas, like Kedarnath, require a good level of physical fitness due to the trek involved. Prepare for each part of your tour by considering the physical demands and ensuring you are mentally and physically ready.

4. Financial and Logistical Planning:

Organize your journey well in advance, including travel bookings, accommodations, and local transport. Consider the costs involved for each leg of the pilgrimage and plan accordingly to manage your budget effectively.

5. Spiritual Readiness:

Each Jyotirlinga has its unique lore and significance. Before visiting, read about the mythology, rituals, and cultural significance of each temple. This preparation can enhance your spiritual experience and connection during the pilgrimage.

6. Health and Safety:

Ensure you are in good health before embarking on each part of your journey. Carry necessary medicines, first aid, and be aware of your dietary needs. Stay hydrated and dressed appropriately for the weather conditions of each location.

7. Documentation and Communication:

Carry all necessary documents, including ID proofs, temple-specific passes (if required), and emergency contact information. Inform your family or friends about your travel itinerary and stay connected as much as possible.

8. Cultural Sensitivity and Respect:

Each temple may have different customs and dress codes. Be respectful of local traditions, dress modestly, and follow the rules and guidelines set by temple authorities.

9. Environmental Considerations:

Respect the natural surroundings of each pilgrimage site. Avoid littering, and be mindful of your ecological footprint, especially in environmentally sensitive areas like Kedarnath.

By dividing the 12 Jyotirlinga tour into manageable parts, not only can you ensure a more in-depth spiritual experience at each site, but you can also plan each segment according to your convenience, ensuring a fulfilling and serene pilgrimage journey.

Are there any specific rituals I should perform at each Jyotirlinga?

When visiting the 12 Jyotirlingas, specific rituals can vary slightly from temple to temple due to regional traditions and temple-specific customs. However, there are common rituals and offerings that are generally performed at each Jyotirlinga to honor Lord Shiva. Here are some of the rituals you might consider performing during your pilgrimage:

1. Abhishekam:

This is the ritual of bathing the Jyotirlinga with sacred substances like milk, honey, ghee (clarified butter), yogurt, and holy water. This act is a form of purification and worship, intended to please Lord Shiva. You can participate in the Abhishekam ceremony by providing the materials or by joining in the chants and prayers during the ritual.

2. Rudrabhishekam:

A more elaborate form of Abhishekam, Rudrabhishekam involves reciting the Sri Rudram (a Vedic hymn) while offering the sacred bath to the Jyotirlinga. This powerful ritual is believed to purify the soul, fulfill wishes, and invoke Lord Shiva’s blessings for health, wealth, and spiritual growth.

3. Panchamrit Puja:

This ritual involves offering the Jyotirlinga a mixture of five sacred “nectars”: milk, curd, ghee, honey, and sugar. It symbolizes the human body’s five elements and is a common ritual in Shiva temples.

4. Offering of Bilva Leaves:

Bilva leaves (Bael leaves) are very dear to Lord Shiva. Offering these leaves to the Jyotirlinga is considered highly auspicious and is a simple yet profound way to pay respect to Shiva. The trifoliate shape of the Bilva leaf is symbolic of the trinity and Shiva’s three eyes.

5. Pradakshina:

This is the act of circumambulating (walking around) the Jyotirlinga. It is a gesture of respect and homage to the divine energy residing in the linga. Typically, believers perform pradakshina three times, keeping the deity to their right.

6. Aarti and Bhajans:

Participating in the Aarti (a devotional song sung in praise of the deity, accompanied by the waving of lamps) and singing or listening to bhajans (devotional songs) are common practices. These are performed to express devotion and connect with the divine energy of Lord Shiva.

7. Offering Prasad:

Prasad (a sacred offering of food) is made to the Jyotirlinga and then distributed among the devotees. Common offerings include fruits, sweets, and other vegetarian items. Offering Prasad symbolizes the sharing of God’s grace.

8. Seeking Blessings and Making Wishes:

Devotees often visit Jyotirlingas to seek blessings for themselves and their loved ones, as well as to make wishes. It is customary to pray silently or whisper your wishes to the deity after making offerings.

9. Meditation and Chanting:

Spending time in meditation near the Jyotirlinga or engaging in the chanting of mantras like the Maha Mrityunjaya Mantra or Om Namah Shivaya can enhance the spiritual experience and provide peace of mind.

10. Observing Fast:

Many devotees observe a fast when visiting Jyotirlingas, especially on significant days like Mondays, Maha Shivratri, or during the month of Shravan, as a mark of devotion and self-purification.

It’s important to note that while these rituals are commonly performed, it’s always best to observe local customs and follow the specific guidelines provided by each temple. Additionally, respect the local traditions and the sanctity of the holy sites during your visit.

What are the accommodation options during the tour?

Accommodation options during the 12 Jyotirlinga tour can vary widely depending on the location and your personal preferences. Here’s a general overview of the types of accommodations you might find during your pilgrimage:

1. Temple Accommodations:

Many Jyotirlinga temples provide accommodation facilities, known as Dharamshalas, Ashrams, or Bhakt Niwas. These are usually affordable and located near the temple premises. They offer basic amenities suitable for pilgrims. Rooms can range from dormitory-style to private rooms, though they may be simple and with minimal facilities.

2. Guest Houses:

Local guest houses are common near pilgrimage sites. They provide a comfortable stay at reasonable prices. Guest houses might offer more privacy and comfort compared to temple accommodations but are still budget-friendly.

You can find hotels ranging from budget to luxury near most Jyotirlinga temples, especially in towns and cities that are well-connected by transport networks. These hotels offer a range of amenities and can cater to different budgets and preferences.

4. Homestays:

In some areas, local families offer rooms in their homes to tourists. Homestays can provide a more personal and intimate experience, allowing you to immerse yourself in local culture and cuisine. They can be a good option if you’re looking for a homely atmosphere.

Lodges are a common sight in pilgrimage areas and offer basic accommodation at low prices. While amenities might be limited, they provide a viable option for those on a tight budget.

6. Resorts and Heritage Properties:

In some locations, especially those that are also tourist destinations (like Rameswaram or Somnath), you may find higher-end resorts and heritage properties. These can offer a luxurious stay with extensive facilities, ideal for those wishing to combine pilgrimage with relaxation.

Tips for Choosing Accommodations:

• Book in Advance: Pilgrimage sites can get crowded, especially during religious festivals or holiday seasons. It’s advisable to book your accommodation well in advance.
• Check Reviews: Before booking, check online reviews and ratings of the accommodations to ensure they meet your standards and expectations.
• Location: Choose accommodations close to the temple to reduce travel time and costs, especially if you intend to participate in early morning or late evening rituals.
• Verify Facilities: Confirm the availability of essential facilities such as clean water, hot water, electricity, and food services, especially if you are traveling with elders or children.
• Travel Agency Packages: Some travel agencies offer pilgrimage packages that include accommodation, meals, and transport. These can be convenient but compare prices and check reviews to ensure they’re right for you.
• Local Advice: Speak to locals or other travelers for recommendations and insights on the best places to stay.

Remember, accommodation options may vary greatly from one Jyotirlinga location to another due to factors like geographic location, local infrastructure, and cultural differences. It’s always a good idea to research and plan according to the specific needs of your pilgrimage journey.
