印度教徒在拉姆斯瓦拉姆(Rameswaram)崇拜这一生,在卡西(Kasi
Hindus believe that their pilgrimage to Kasi is incomplete without a pilgrimage to Rameswaram
Kasi和Rameswaram是印度最古老的印度朝圣中心。Kasi位于印度的北部,Rameswaram位于印度南端,相距3200公里。
卡西is the other name for the ancient city Varanasi. It is also called by the name Benaras. It is situated on the banks of the river Ganges and this is the primary reason for its sanctity. It is located in the Indian state of Uttar Pradesh.
另一方面,拉姆斯瓦拉姆(Rameswaram)位于印度泰米尔纳德邦(Tamilnadu)。它位于Pamban岛,距离斯里兰卡国家的Mannar岛约50公里。就像甘格河到卡西河一样,Agni Theertham是Rameswaram。
根据印度神话,拉姆斯瓦兰(Rameswaram)是拉玛勋爵(Lord Rama)在猴子的帮助下建造桥梁的地方,以取回被兰卡国王拉瓦纳(Ravana)绑架的西塔(Sita)。
卡西被印度教徒视为世界上最神圣的地方,预计他们一生中至少要朝圣一次。卡西(Kasi)是维斯瓦纳塔神庙(Viswanatha Temple)的所在地,主持神灵是西瓦勋爵(Lord Siva)。Siva以这座寺庙的Jothilinga形式被崇拜。
印度教徒认为,他们对卡西的朝圣之旅是不完整的,而没有朝圣者朝圣。西瓦勋爵(Lord Siva)也是拉姆斯瓦兰(Rameswaram)的主持人,并以同样的jothilinga形式,名称为Sri Ramanatha Swamy。在这两个寺庙中,两个寺庙中有两个寺庙。
除了印度教徒,佛教徒和ja那教徒认为卡西确实是非常圣洁的。高塔玛佛(Gautama Buddha)在位于瓦拉纳西(Varanasi)附近的萨纳斯(Sarnath)进行了第一次讲道。
卡西has derived a lot of importance due to its proximity to the river Ganges. There are around hundred ghats in Varanasi linking to Ganges. Many of these ghats are associated with Hindu legends and mythologies. Some of these ghats are used for taking holy dip in the Gange and for performing religious rituals while some other are used as cremation sites. The Hindus firmly believe that a holy dip in the Ganges in Kasi would make them get rid of all their sins. Death in Kasi is considered very holy in the sense that the person is not destined to be born again. Oblations are given to the dead ancestors with the belief that they would be happy in the other world. Those who are unable to visit Kasi take a holy dip in Agni theertham and give oblations to their ancestors at Rameswaram.
拉姆斯瓦兰(Rameswaram)有36个水弹簧,其中22个在拉马纳萨斯瓦米神庙(Ramanathaswamy Temple)中,据说这些水具有药用特性。在其中沐浴被认为具有重要意义。寺庙的阿格尼·塞瑟姆(Agni Theertham)是指海洋,而Koti Theertham位于寺庙本身内。
印度教徒认为,当您必须独自去拉姆斯瓦兰(Rameswaram)时,您必须在小组中朝圣。
Kasi是音乐传统的家园。印度斯坦音乐风格的贝纳拉斯·加拉纳(Benaras Gharana)在卡西(Kasi)发展了。卡西(Kasi)由卡比尔(Kabir),蒙西(Munshi Premchand),拉维达斯(Ravidas)和拉维·尚卡(Ravi Shankar),吉里贾·德维(Girija Devi)和哈里普拉萨德·乔拉西亚(Hariprasad Chaurasia)等几位诗人居住。Tulsidas在这里写了Ramacharitamanas。瓦拉纳西(Varanasi)也以巴纳雷斯(Banares)的纱丽和地毯而闻名。
Sri Ramanathaswamy庙的千柱走廊和Rama的脚,Ram Temple的Naga Idols和Sita Kund是Rameswaram的一些地方。
