  • the series of 12 Jyotirling, today we discuss the 5th &the most important jyotirling. There are two stories related to this Jyotirling. First, which is mentioned in the end of Mahabharata. When the Pandavas, left all the riches  went on the pilgrimage to Himalayas. We shall discuss this in the coming episode. 
  • The second story has been mentioned in Shivpurana's Koti Rudra Samhita. In today's episode we shall discuss about story mentioned in Shivpurana. So let's find out how did the 5th Jyotirling come into existence.
  •  Lord Brahma's son Dharma his wife Murti conceived two kids Nara and Narayana. Nara and Narayana were two incarnations of Vishnu in the avatar of Lord Krishna Arjuna. Lord Krishna has mentioned it Bhagvad Gita's Fourth Chapter 5th Shlok. Nara and Narayana performed severe penance in Badrikashraya in front of a Shivalinga. Lord Shiva used to visit their linga everyday. 
  • Pleased with their devotion, Lord Shiva appeared in front of them and said that they may ask for a boon. Nar and Narayan requested Shiva to take up a permanent abode as a Jyotirlinga, So that all people who worship Shiva shall be freed from their miseries. 
  • Lord Shiva then took his place in the Jyotirlinga at Kedarnath in Himalayas. Nara Narayana had impressed Lord Shiva with thier penance in Badrivan. Today we can also find Badrinath Temple in Badrivan. One can also find the 2 mountains named Nara Narayana. Because Lord Shiva resided in Kedar Tirth, he is also known as Kedareshwar Kedarnath. 
  • It's said that people who visit Kedarnath but somehow meet their end in this process, also receive moksha.
