Ancient Hindu Sacred Geometry Mandir: ॐ Shree Tungareshwar Mandir & Wildlife Sanctuary !

Tungareshwar Mandir ( Temple ) is located in Vasai (2177 feet above the ground on the highest Mountainplateau of Tungareshwar ), Palghar District, Maharashtra, India. The temple is dedicated to the Hindu god Shiva, about 3 to 4 kilometres from the "Tungareshwar Entrance Gate", opens at morning 05:00 AM to 06:00 PM. This is one of the Historical Temple and also have Ram Kund on backside area (Kunds are human-made small water bodies). Alongside the Tungareshwar Temple, a small temple of Goddess "Khodiyaar Mataji" (with her vehicle crocodile). Being said about God and Goddess, Tungareshwar attracts devotees who visit both these temples at special occasions and festival seasons like "Khodiyar Jayanti" which comes in around February and "Maha Shivratri" in Shravana Months as Hindu calendar, falling between July and August every year. Bhandara (a religious publicly
organized feast) takes place every year at the "Mahashivratri Festival" and every Monday at the Shravan month.

Tungareshwar, a collection of five mountains houses some very holy temples like those of Shiva, Kal Bhairav (the avatar of Mahadev Shiva), Jagmata Temple (the avatar of Parvati, wife of Mahadev Shiva), the Balyogi Sadanandh Maharaj Matth . According to the legends, Bhagwan Parashurama killed a Demon named 'Tunga' at this place. The temple was built in the honour of Bhagwan Parashurama. Shri Parashurama meditated here in this place. It is believed that Adi Shankaracharya had meditated at a place nearby Shuparak now called Sopara or Nalasopara.

God Shri Ram bhakt Shri Hanuman ( the monkey-faced God) , was asked to bring a ‘jadibooti’ or herb for Sita since she was ill, by Bhagwan Shri Rama’s guru Vishvamitra. It was to be got off a mythical mountain called ‘Dronagiri Parvat’, but because Hanuman couldn’t tell which herb it was exactly, he picked the whole mountain and began to walk. Meghnath, son of Raavan, the seven headed (or by different tales, different number of heads!) demon from the south who captured Sita in the Ramayan, was the one who shot at Hanuman. One piece of the ‘Parvat’ or mountain fell here. In Ramayan gods were said to be the size of ‘chiranjeevi’ giants. When one leg of Shri Hanuman was here, the other was at Wada, approximately 40-50km from Tungareshwar !

This temple is naturally situated in a strangely beautiful garden. In the dome, a trident (trident) stands impressively against the horizon.The temple room was small but beautifully decorated in Minimalistic works of colourful glass. On one corner of the room Diya was lighting and there was a small temple of Devi. In the centre, there is the Main Linga– Mahadev Shiva, with a Hug serpent in brass coiled around it. A brass post hangs above & water trickling down from it drop by drop over the ling. The temple also has some symbols of sacred geometry and the temple is designed as per VastuShastra.

Sacred geometry,

“yeh sab toh ganith hi hain!”

The fact that everything in our lives, even the construction of the temple, etc, was all just simple math. We’re familiar with the great pattern and that how everything is a grand design, a mega interconnected geometric construct that is just playing, like a tape, our lives out, every single day. There is a math behind the construction of the temples, although it is one that we aren’t familiar with also.

Whoever built the temple was certainly deep and onto something extraordinary. This person has used certain symbols that are said to be a part of ‘Vastu Shastra’, an Hindu Dharma art related to the placement, directions and construction of a place so that it absorbs and is receptive of the positive energy of the environment. The right placement of furniture, pillars, etc keeps the people happy, healthy and wealthy. There are certain mandalas and drawings that vastu uses on the floor, totems that can be places in various areas, etc. You can say more broadly it is like ‘feng shui’ but a different method used in our nation Hindustan ( Bharat / India).

There was a place in which we can sits and meditates, a spot where our mind moves and works best in a meditating state. It is the place right in front of where the Shiv lingam is kept. The spot and noticed two of these drawings on the floor, in the middle of which we can sits.

One was on this circle with an eight sided pointy star and 24 diamond shapes around it. The first thing that came to our mind was Edward Leedskalnin’s flywheel. Edward was a man, who claimed to have known the ‘secret of the pyramids’ and how they were constructed. He wrote a book on magnetism and built the coral castle in Florida, an amusement park made out of carvings of a peculiar limestone that you get on that strip of the country, all of which weighed between 5-20 or 30 tons. The best part still is that he constructed this entire place BY HIMSELF. How? No one knows, but he used this flywheel that has 24 magnets, North and South poles attached around the center. The flywheel had a handle at the center. Using this with other part of equipment he used, he could do the most unmanly work of lifting these huge stones up by himself. Looks like he has a little secret there that he didn’t tell anyone! Did this make the stones lighter ? You might wonder what resemblance this has with the picture from the mandir. I couldn’t be too sure myself as I am only theorizing and not stating for sure, anything. But one thing is definite. The ancient our Bharat Rishis knew way more in science than we do today, and every discovery is only a rediscovery today.

In these temples, some kind of unique magnetism or for that matter, electromagnetism, since our bodies are conductors of electromagnetic energy. There is constantly a sort of current that only some people can feel. All of our bodies have a unique electromagnetic signature. How this diagram and Leedskalnin’s work turned out so shockingly similar is a mystery. Maybe Leedskalnin procured some ancient knowledge, or maybe it in fact, has no resemblance at all, though I beg to differ. Whoever at the time, maybe those who developed the Vastu Shastra had enough knowledge to be able to come up with diagrams related to geomagnetism and natural earth energy manifestation .

There are old drawing depicting a drawing on astrology and constellations marked Bethlehem 1800 A.D. This describes eight houses of the constellations as known before.

I still wondered what the eight-pointed star in the center resembled and that is when I turned to Vastu Shastra, suspecting that on the floor was not just a design but something more. I found a diagram denoting the eight directions as we know it.

Some geophysics for the soul ! This next Vastu symbol struck me as the drawing to the right. For those who haven’t heard of the 19.47 degree phenomenon, I advise you to read this further to understand it better. On the sun, major solar activity is said to be seen on 19.47 degrees North and South of the equator. On Mars, the largest volcano in the solar system is said to be located on this very latitude. The Cydonia complex on Mars is also on this line. There is a lot of heat, and supposedly a major chunk of the earth’s energy is said to be concentrated on this latitude, North and South of the equator. The most active example of this as explained by Hugh Newman in his book ‘Earth Grids’ is Hawaii’s volcanoes. We have active hot water springs here in Maharashtra on this entire strip.

What’s exciting to know is, the temple of Tungareshwar lies on 19.43 degrees N, almost on this line itself, hence the immense energy is felt.

This symbol used in Vastu is nothing more than a mere representation of this. The Magan star or the Star of David, the holy symbol of the Hebrews, is also a six-sided star that represents this naturally laid out sweet spot of the grid! I do think what is supposed to be an inverted triangle though is a way of showing the circular portions of the earth. What still remains not justified is the vertical triangle in the center. But then yes, I had seen that somewhere too! One of the five platonic solids, the Isoscahedron that fitted as showing earth spots, had a triangle in the center.

Also the Vastu has one particular Yantra that shows a six-sided star in the center called the Vastu Devta Yantra (the God Yantra), which made the image make sense. Are specialists in Vastu recreating images of the concentration of energy diagram, giving it to people to place in their houses and using it as some kind of good luck charm? Does this earth energy really come to life by using diagrams of it?

Da Vinci, in his works too, took help of this to understand

human anatomy. Co-incidence?

All these holy temples that have rich energy all being along one line in the country (19.47 degrees North), he said he had no idea what I was talking about, yet he knew for sure that those symbols were of Vastu. He didn’t know the symbols were made to show that energy was concentrated on the 120 degree angle and the six-sided star was drawn to depict just that! Actually most of the world doesn’t know this!

We sits between these two symbols and meditates. Could the symbols be working on him for the better, and do they have some additional extraordinary effect on him !

There is a term used for these kind of drawings and mathematical constructions, called Sacred Geometry. Read further, check experiments out and you will get lost in a whole new science!

Theories:

As Amish Tripathy, writer of the Shiva Trilogy once told me, “Of course there is life beyond our earth. It would be rather arrogant for us to say that there is no one else in the universe besides ourselves!”

About 30 minutes to 45 minutes rocky trial to the Shiva temple inside Tungareshwar forest, One can observe the flora and fauna along the pathway. Butterflies, Insects on bare-branched trees in summer, and more of the species in the lush greenery of Monsoon, One can find birds like the blue color beauty of black-naped monarch, crested honey buzzard (Pernis ptilorhynchus) which looks much like the eagle, few river terns
(Sterna aurantia) and few greater coucal along the riverbed.

Small insects, ants, and bees are also seen along with butterflies all around. Talking about few species of butterflies as seen is Blue pansy, Common crow, Blue Pansy and maybe many more as one explores more inside the trial. Common trees at glance are Ghost, Teak, Sand Paper, and Orchid can be seen near dry streams or flowing during monsoon. To name a few more as seen are Wasps, Damselflies, Orb Weavers, Caterpillars, Dragonflies, Pagoda Ants, Tailor birds, etc.

Summers turn the greenery to yellow with dry plants and trees. The streams and waterfalls are unseen till next rain and the dry belt of waterfalls parallel to trial displays huge rocks, Some still wet with underlying tiny water flowing beneath.
