Prachin Sada Shiv Dhyunsar Mahadev Mandir Una, Himachal Pradesh

SADA SHIV जिला ऊना के प्रमुख धार्मिक स्थलों में से एक तलमेहड़ा के सदाशिव मंदिर की विशेष धार्मिक मान्यता है कि पूरा वर्ष यहां लाखों की तादाद में श्रद्धालू नमन करने और भगवान शंकर की आराधना करने के लिए पहुंचते हैं। मान्यता है कि करीब 5500 वर्ष पहले महाभारत काल में पांडवों के पुरोहित श्री धौम्य ऋषि ने तीर्थ यात्रा करते हुए इसी ध्यूंसर नामक पर्वत पर शिव की तपस्या की थी। भगवान शिव ने प्रसन्न होकर दर्शन देते हुए वर मांगने को कहा था जिस पर ऋषि ने वर मांगा कि इस पूरे क्षेत्र में आकर उनके द्वारा स्थापित किए गए ध्योमेश्वर शिव की पूजा करने वाले की मनोकामनाएं पूरी हों। मान्यताओं के मुताबिक भगवान शिव तथास्तु कह कर अंर्तध्यान हो गए थे।

मंदिर के वर्तमान पुजारी उत्तराखंड के सिद्ध राज शास्त्री के मुताबिक 1948 में पहली बार जिला के इस सबसे ऊंचे स्थल पर मौजूद पवित्र शिवलिंग के स्थान पर शिवरात्री का आयोजन किया गया था। 1988 तक स्वामी ओंकारानंद गिरी जी इस मंदिर का संचालन करते रहे उनके उपरांत मंदिर समिति इसके प्रबंधों का जिम्मा संभाले हुए हैं। यहां करीब 5000 से अधिक क्षमता के लंगरहाल के साथ-साथ जगह-जगह श्रद्धालुओं के बैठने के लिए अच्छी व्यवस्था की गई है। जिला के सबसे खूबसूरत स्थलों में से एक तलमेहड़ा की पहाड़ी श्रंख्लाओं में से सबसे ऊंचे पहाड़ में से एक पर स्थित सदाशिव मंदिर से पूरे जिला का आलौकिक नजारा देखने को मिलता है। यूं तो पूरा वर्ष श्रद्धालु आते हैं लेकिन श्रावण माह में यहां श्रद्धालुओं की इतनी भीड़ उमड़ती है कि खड़े होने के लिए भी जगह नहीं बचती। अनेक श्रद्धालु यहां भंडारों का आयोजन करते हैं तो प्रत्येक रविवार रात्रि को यहां विशाल जागरण आयोजित किए जाते हैं जिसमें असंख्य श्रद्धालु भगवान शिव का गुणगान सुनते हैं।

MAJOR Festival Celebrations

Maha Shivaratri

Maha Shivratri or Maha Sivaratri or Shivaratri or Sivaratri (Night of Shiva) is a Hindu festival celebrated every year on the 13th night/14th day in the Krishna Paksha of the month Maagha (as per Shalivahana) or Phalguna (as per Vikrama) in the Hindu Calendar. The most significant practices on this day are offerings of Bael (Bilva) leaves to the Lord Shiva, fasting and a night-long vigil. In North India and Nepal many people consume bhang lassi, which they believe is lord Shiva's favorite drink.

The temples throughout the country witness an extravagant and colorful celebration on this occasion.The Lord Shiva Temple is located in the lower Shivalik range of Himalaya.

Go Green with Afforestation

The population of the world is increasing day by day leading to drastic enhancements in development viz. increase in the number of houses, schools, colleges, and many more for daily needs. To get all these facilities, deforestation is being done which is harmful to the environment. If the environment is getting polluted, then there is no fresh air to breathe.  In many ways, we can maintain our environment neat and green such as:

1. Population should be in control. The government must have to make strict policies like we two and our two. But people are still doing 3-4 children's. This should be stopped.

2. At every big festival celebration, we can plant a new tree near our home or on the campus where we are working.  In cities, it is not possible to plant a big tree however we can bring flower pots in which we can plant beautiful hybrid flowers and vegetables.

3. These days, we celebrate our birthday by cutting cakes and having parties in hotels. This is ok but we should plant at least one new tree or bring a flower pot to our home on this auspicious day.          
4. Every year, the 22nd of April and 5th of June are celebrated as Earth and Environment Day, respectively. We can make a habit of planting a tree on these special days.
As a proverb "IT TAKES DROP BY DROP TO FILL A PAIL". Similarly, if we change ourselves then automatically surroundings will change in the same manner.

Please love the earth and environment as we love our parents, they are the ultimate source of our life.

These were some of my suggestions through which we can maintain our nearby environment neat and green with our daily busy routine.
