Miracles of hinduism - Trident of Durga

| Trident of Durga |
The Shakti Temple in Uttarkashi
Shakti temple is very near to Vishwanath temple. The main attraction here is a huge and
heavy trishul (trident) - 6 meters in height and 90 cms at the bottom
which was thrown at the devils by Goddess Durga. The trishul, as the
priest told us, is made of iron in the upper part and copper in the lower part and is revered as a form of Shakti.
One amazing feature of the trishul is that it cannot be moved with your
entire body force but it vibrates the moment you apply pressure with
one of your fingers! That was indeed some kind of magic!

It is said that when the epic battle ensued between the devtas (gods)
and the asuras (demons), the shakti stambh was was thrown at devils by
goddess Durga down from heaven. Since then, it has been balanced on
the hood of the shesh naag (the mythological snake which also supports
the earth on its hood) in pataal (the nether world).

It is also said that no one has been able to identify the metals from
which the stambh is made though its globular base was created out of
asht dhatu (eight metals) a thousand years ago. Different people hold
different views about the trishul, it is widely believed that the
trishul is made of iron in the upper part and copper in the lower
part.

The column leading up to the trident is covered in red pieces of cloth
decorated with gold work (traditional offering to Goddess Shakti)
which symbolise the wishes of the devotees.
surely researchers / scientists would have tried to find out more regarding the composition of the metal/s, process of manufacture and erction in the current location !! and it's unique reaction to finger pressure force !!!
ReplyDeleteIts not made from earth its compostition of metals from others planets.
