Story of frist Jyotirlinga Somnath

  • You may all know about Lord Shiva's 12 Jyotirlinga. All 12 of them are situated in different parts of the country. The Origin & Importance have been explained in Shivapuran. So in today's episode let's find out about the first Jyotirlinga. In Shivapuran's Koti Rudra Samhita, Somnath has been called as the first Jyotirlinga It's situated in Saurashtra, Gujarat.
  •  The story of Jyotirlinga at Somnath starts as The moon was married to the 27 daughters of Daksha Prajapati. All of the 27 sisters were happy to get married to the Moon God. The Moon Lord was partial to Rohini, his favorite and neglected the others. All of them except Rohini returned home, as they were hurt by the actions of Moon God. 
  • Daksha Prajapati was hurt listening to how his daughter's were treated & decided to meet him told him, You were born pure at heart but still discriminate among your wives. Why do you avoid the rest of 26 wives treat Rohini above all? This is not a right practice, please do not repeat this in future. 
  • Daksha Prajapati explained this to his son in law assumed he would pay heed to his word. Daksha Prajapati then left to return home. But the Moon God decided not favour anyone except Rohini did not bother to look at his other wives. Daksha Prajapati was angered by this, asked Moon God to be equal to all of them? But the Moon God decided to go against Daksha Prajapati. 
  • An angered Daksha cursed him to wane into nothingness. The Moon God eventually started fading out. After that, the whole world fell into darkness, this worried all the Gods Saints So all the Gods decided to visit God Brahma for help, God Brahma said that, you have to go through what's happened but there is one way out of it. 
  • If Moon along with his deities visits Prabhasa Tirtha chants Mahamrityunjaya Mantra to worship Lord Shiva, He also has to make a Linga  worship it. When Lord Shiva is impressed by his prayers, he himself will free him from this curse. So agreeing to God Brahma, Moon God left with his deities to Prabhasa Tirtha. 
  • He started to recite the Mahamrityunjaya Mantra worship Lord Shiva. Moon God worshiped the linga for 6 months  recited the mantra 100 Million times. At the end of penance, Shiva appeared before Moon God offered to grant him a boon. Moon God, asked him to forgive him for all his mistakes grant me his light Lord Shiva replied, that every day while one side of you is in light, the other part will fade into darkness. 
  • Moon God praised Lord Shiva accepted the boon. Lord Shiva reduced himself in that Linga & was called as Somnath Jyotirlinga. All the other gods decided to install a temple believed that Lord Shiva Brahma have resided there.
