The Story of Sangameswara
How did contact with a sacred shrine unite two souls in a later birth?
Discover the sacred story of Sri Sangameswara, the 69th of the 84 Mahakalavana Shiva Lingas of Ujjain, explained by Jagadguru Sri Ramanananda Maharshi, Siddhaguru.
King Subahu of Kalinga and Queen Vishalakshi shared deep affection. Troubled by a severe recurring afternoon headache, the king took his queen to Mahakalavana and revealed a past-life account a sage had explained to him.
In an earlier birth, Subahu had been a fish and Vishalakshi a bird of prey. The bird dropped the fish into Sri Sangameswara's sacred precincts and entered to catch it again. The fish died there; the bird died later. According to the narrative, the merit of their contact with the shrine blessed them with royal births and marriage.
The king attributed his lingering headache to remaining karma, while crediting Sangameswara's grace for their prosperity and companionship.
The discourse places the shrine at the sacred confluence of Ganga, Neelaganga and Shipra. It also recounts how Ganga, burdened by devotees' sins, followed Sanatkumara's guidance to Mahakalavana and regained purity and radiance as Neelaganga.
