SIGNIFICANCE OF THE 'RUDRA BHOOMI' AND SALIENT FEATURES / EVENTS OF THE ANNUAL SPIRITUAL CONFLUENCE AT SRI LA SRI MATHAJI SIDDHAR GHAT ON 25th NOVEMBER - A SYNOPSIS

Rudra Bhoomi (Cremation Ghat) is a place pervaded with the secrets of Brahman. It is the purest and holiest of all places in the world. One should approach this divine abode of 'Rudra' (Sivam - The Supreme Being) with dharmic thoughts and Truth Consciousness. One should be pure in body and mind and should not wear footwear. Innumerable jivas devoid of a mortal sheath reside here. Rudra Bhoomi is a place of Eternal Peace. Since thousands of years, commoners, great men, wise men and self-realized beings have all visited this place. We ourselves, along with our descendents are going to reach this destination. This place embodies a gentle, blissful state of existence. Several crores of jnanis, seers and siddhapurushas have performed intense penance here. This is an ideal place of atma sadhana for sincere spiritual aspirants and penance here quickens their spiritual evolution. Rudra Bhoomi is the foremost amongst all places of worship in the world. Those who revere the Rudra Bhoomi, visit it often and pay obeisance will lead a long and blissful life. Places of cremation all over the world should be kept clean and holy. Under no circumstances should they be defiled.
