Among all sacred forests, Mahakala Vana stands supreme. Home to Mahakaleshwara Jyotirlinga and 84 ancient Shiva Lingas — worshipped by devatas, rishis, and sages across ages — this sacred vana grants Dharma, Artha, Kama, and Moksha.
Mahakala Vana is the supreme Shiva kshetra where Mahakaleshwara Jyotirlinga, Mahakala Bhairava, and 84 ancient Shiva Lingas are worshipped. Each Linga carries a unique story, tatva, and divine anugraha.
Among crores of Shiva Lingas in Mahakala Vana, 84 are principal, eternal, and spiritually powerful.
Each Shiva Linga grants a distinct blessing through darshan, sparsha, and upasana.
Siddhaguru Sri Ramananda Maharshi is systematically explaining all 84 Lingas from Skanda Purana.
Darshan of these Lingas destroys sins, removes curses, grants wealth, health, and Moksha.
For the first time in the world, all 84 Mahakala Vana Shiva Lingas are being consecrated at Ramaneswaram. This brings the hidden Skanda Purana tradition of Mahakala Vana into living worship for devotees.
