Naimisharanya – The Center of Excellence

The present work is an effort to establish the glory of Naimisharanya as an oldest University Campus of the World or the Centre of Excellence. This place is also known as the Satyug ka Teerth Thy Pilgrimage of Satyug which means the most ancient Pilgrimage place on the Earth from where the stream of the great knowledge o Vedas and Puranas spreaded all over the World. I had a privilege to visit Naimisharanya I found the deeply rooted belief and several proofs of the ancient incidents occurred time to time here which correlated my thought about the importance of this place when I say the great banyan tree which is nearly three thousands years old. The Vyas Gaddi, the place where Maharishi Vyas used to sit am gave the knowledge, and the Manu Satrupa penance place where our ancestors used to meditate to attain the salvation and man more places which clearly indicate the great importance of this place from the beginning o civilization. There is a legend about the very important incident which describes the great Conference of knowledge regarding Veda and Puranas in which nearly Eighty Thousand Sages and their disciples took part in this conference. This great event has been described in most of the Puranas in detail. This kind of conference of visionary scholars/sages reflects the first concept of University Campus in the World. Apart from this, there are many places including ancient Temples and the (Swayambhu Shivalingas originated it Rudravart area in river Gomti are also the tourist attractions. People visit here from the every part of the country to fulfill their wishes I hope this Pictorial Book will fulfill the purpose of providing the knowledge am importance of this great land to the tourists well as to the Readers.
