Renuka Ji Himachal Pradesh - An Offbeat Spiritual & Tourist Place - Himachal Pradesh Tourism
As it is said, 'don't do wrong, God above is watching everything'. Look, how close cloud is. As soon as he was told to behead his mother, he picked up his axe which was given to him by Shiv, his earlier name was Atmaram. And when Lord Parshuram got the axe (Parshu), from Shiva, he was named Parshudhar. And now with the same Parshu (axe), Jai Maa Gange, Har Har Gange.
Hello everyone, welcome back to OTA Expert. Hello everyone, welcome back to OTA Expert. Welcome to Devbhoomi, Himachal. We have shown you such a beautiful place before this video, Haripur Dhar.
Now we are on the same route to go back to Renuka ji. But because we got a good option to stay in between so in previous video we shown you our room only but we know you want to know about all the details that's why we will show you the details of this property in this video, but along with that, we will also show you some other options to stay in Renuka ji. We were very tired yesterday, we did not have the courage to go down. So we took the first option that we got. So this is the main entrance, P.VEE Resort.
And there is parking for cars here. There are two doggies too, you can identify them like Nobita. Spacious restaurant. As soon as you enter, you get a reception and a restaurant on one side. And if you come up one floor, then this is a beautiful terrace. I think people sit here more in the open area than in the restaurant.
The way the property is made, there are 4 floors in total. One floor up is where we have come to the terrace and if we go down three floors, then we get rooms. There is no lift in the whole property, so keep this thing in mind. Now we have come one floor down. We have our room here too, which we showed you in the other video.
Let's show it in this video too. But first of all, let's show you their family suite room. This is a beautiful room. There are two double beds. They have done a very good bedding of all the rooms. And you get a lot of space in it.
The whole family can be well accommodated. There is a proper rack for luggage here. I think the mirror is still missing here. I think property is new.
And look at the washroom, how spacious it is. First there is a dressing area. Let's show our room too, our room is actually messed up so I will show you a similar room like that. This is their AC room category. You can consider it a deluxe room. Because they have made three categories in the same way.
You get the same room in non-AC. But because it is two floors down, you have to go very low there and there is no lift, so you have to take care of that. Yes, but you get less tariff. But the room is very good. Especially the kettle and amenities they have kept. In such a place, I mean, in such an exterior, you have to get such a property. I was wondering whether I would get it or not. But they have made a good place.
You get a balcony area in all the rooms. This is a very good thing. You get fresh air here too. You can sit. Also if you get a balcony you get different feel and you get such a beautiful view. Now it's dinner time but in the meantime, we did a local visits, it was village walk but we didn't capture it because we thought we can't show it in such a short period. It's a place for which we have to make a whole vlog separately.
And for that we have to come again. It's such a beautiful place, you just keep walking, you won't get satisfied. There are so many beautiful locations, so we will come again soon.
But here we are having dinner and after eating we will tell you how was the taste of the food. Because we had tea, tea was good. We requested them for the quantity specially we told them to serve less quantity because we can't eat more. So our special Kadhai Paneer, and Dal Fry. Good Morning! Welcome to this holy land of Lord Parashuram. We have come to Shree Renuka Ji.
It's a very beautiful weather and there is a lot of energy in this place You feel it when you come here. There are many beautiful fishes jumping in the lake of Parashuram and we have captured them too. There are many stories about this place because this is the penance place of Lord Parashuram and his family and also the birth place of Lord Parashuram.
So let's have darshan first and then we will tell you. This is the holy rock where Lord Parashurama used to perform penance. - As everyone knows that this is the holy land of Maharishi Jamadagini ji and Mata Renuka ji. - And from here to Shree Mata Renuka ji temple there is a small village called Jamu Koti which is 8 Km away Maharishi Jamadagni ji and Mata Renuka ji used to do penance there.
- And from here where the lake is made from here, Mata Renuka ji takes water to Ashram. - Her Ashram was known as Bhrigu Ashram and Lord Parashuram ji, Mata Renuka ji and Maharishi Jamdagni ji used to live there. - Everyone used to do penance there they were total 5 kids, one was Lord Parashuram ji .. so Lord Parashuram ji was the youngest among all who is still on Mahendra mountain he does penance there, Mahendra mountain is in Ganjam district of Odisha.
- So one day, Maharishi Jamdagni ji and Mata Renuka ji did a Yagya to get water for that Yagya, Mata Renuka ji was sent to this pond to Shree Renuka ji tirth. - Where this lake is made but at that time, this lake was made like a small pond from that pond, Mata Renuka ji used to take water to her Ashram. - So as the Yagya was going on, Mata Renuka ji came to that pond to get water for that Yagya while going back, she got late for some reason. - So Maharishi Jamdagni ji was very angry that you were so late she gave many answers but his heart was not satisfied. - When his heart was not satisfied, then Lord Parashuram ji who was among 5 kids were called to Ashram that as soon as possible reach Ashram. - Lord Parshuram ji remained engrossed in penance.
- And the other 4 who came before him and they said, Father, tell us, What orders should we obey you? - The four of them were told to behead their mother. - But those four refused to do that father we can't do so. - Later Lord Parashuram ji came and asked why he remembered him. - He was a father's devotee and he obeyed his father's orders. - As soon as he was told to behead his mother, he picked up his axe which was given to him by Shiv, his earlier name was Atmaram. - And when Lord Parshuram got the axe (Parshu), from Shiva, he was named Parshudhar.
- And now with the same Parshu (axe), at the behest of his father, he beheaded his mother. - But before beheading his mother, he had told to Lord Shiv that his mother should not even dream of beheading him that my son has beheaded me. All this happen. - When he beheaded, Maharishi Jamadagni ji was very happy and asked him, son, what boon do you want? - Lord Parashuram ji replied that he had everything and he did not lack anything.
- If you want to give me a boon, then the first boon is to plant my mother's head again - In fact, that no creature in this world can call me a mother killer - He said that he had obeyed his father's orders. - So Maharishi Jamadagni ji had to do this, he sprinkled water and brought the mother back to life. - So when Mata Renuka Ji was alive, Lord Parashuram Ji asked for him boon of Ajar Amar.
- Ajar means one who never gets old, Amar means who never dies. - Both these boons were given by Maharishi Jamadagni ji. - Later, he took blessing of Mother and Father. - And then he went back to Mahendra mountain.
- A lot of time was passed, Renuka and Benuka were two sisters, Benuka's husband.., they always wanted to humiliate Lord Parshuram ji. - So, one day, while roaming around, Mother Renuka met him and asked her, when will you invite us for food? - But, I am not alone, I have many soldiers with me, you will have to feed them also. - So, the king was thinking, that so much wealth, how will these saints gather, that they will be able to feed me and my soldiers? - So Mata Renuka Ji said Maharaj ji I will talk to Rishi Ji about this after going to ashram, maybe he will invite you for food. - So, Mata Renuka Ji told Maharishi Jamadagni Ji, that today, I met brother-in-law, and he was asking, when will you invite us for food? - But, he is not alone, he has many soldiers with him, we will have to feed them also. - So, Maharishi Jamadagni Ji was a saint, he did not have so much wealth.
- So, he did the penance of Lord Indra and Lord Kubera. - So in return for his penance he received Kamdhenu Cow and Akshaya Patra. - When Maharishi Jamadagni ji gets both these things So, Maharishi Jamadagni Ji invites Sahasrabahu and Sahasrabahu soldiers to come on food - So, when they come for food, they are very surprised to see the arrangement of the ashram that this much arrangements as a king may be I would not have been able to do it. - Every soldier was served food in a gold plate, thousands of dishes were cooked.
- So, by the time they get food and prepare to return to their palace, so at that time a barber exposes Kamdhenu cow. - That all these are miracle of Kamdhenu Cow because of this all able to be happen. - At the time of leaving they go to Kamdhenu cow and pray to it - There was a war between the two sage brothers behind that Kamdhenu cow and in that war, Maharishi Jamdagri ji was killed. - Later, they follow the mother, Mata Renuka ji takes water samadhi in the same well from which she used to collect water, which is today this lake - The well explodes. The lake is said to have assumed the form of a woman.
- If you go to Parikrama Road, you will know that this is head shape and all. - Then Lord Parshuram's penance on Mahendra mountain is broken that today even his mother is no more and his father is no more. - He come to his mother's feet, cry, and say, Mother, tell me, what did my father say to me in his last time? - His crying made her mother come out of womb. - She said, son, he couldn't do anything in the last moments of his life because his head was separated from his body. - That's why he couldn't say anything to you but he..
- So Lord Parshuram ji understood its meaning, I will have to destroy such enemies from this earth who is the evil tyrant and the king of Raksha Vriddhi - and donated it to Kashyap Rishi. He had nothing. - Kashyap Rishi said, son, you have donated the whole world, go from here. - He gone from here and ask for a place from the sea god where he can lives near his mother. Go to Kerala. - So the sea god says, throw away your axe as far as your axe will go, I will be empty.
- Kerala has a lot of places so that was given to Lord Parashuram by the sea god. - But later he went there and started thinking that I have come a long way from my mother here and my mother is there. How can I visit my mother? - So then where Lord Parashuram's temple is located today. - He asks his mother for this place that Mother, give me two hands at your feet.
- I want to see you in a year. Want to spend a night in your feets. - So this is the place given by the mother to Lord Parashuram. - And on the same occasion, here in November, 10 days after Diwali, from Dashami to Purnima 5 days of.. - During that time, Lord Parashuram is here in any form to see his mother. - The water flowing from the lake is the feet of Mother and there is the pond of Parshuram ji at her feet.
- But today this is a pond bu at that time when we wins the land.. At that time, he was sitting at his mother's feet in the ashram. Before him, this was a holy place. Today it is in the form of a pond.
Pandit ji told us a very beautiful story. We may not be able to tell it well. I had heard all these stories. But it is very beautiful. Now let's go to see Renuka ji first.
Renuka ji's pond, which we can see below. Then we will go to the top, Tape Ka Tiba, where the penance place, Ashram is. From there, you can see the whole lake in the form of a woman's body. We will see from there. We have come to Renuka ji's pond.
It has also been declared a wetland. Renuka ji's lake Ramsar site. Because it is a very big area of the lake. And here, we have shown you such big fishes.
You can see the Himachal tourism rest house in front where there is a place to stay, there is a restaurant. The area in front of it, where you can see the lake. As the Pandit ji told us, this is her feet.
And from here we have seen the lake of Parshuram ji. Beautiful lotus flowers have bloomed here. Let's go and see. We can see them from far away. If we go this way, it will be a complete circle. But the door in the middle is closed. There are shops down there where you get prasad, fish gruel.
And the rooms you see up they are all ashrams. You can stay here in a very resonable price. You have to pay around Rs 50 as rent. And some have free facilities as well. You can ask when you come here.
But here when it is the season time then there is crowd. Because water is deep here, ghats have been made, It is closed with a mesh. There is a chain as well. People generally bathe here. This is a women's bath ghat. There are changing rooms as well.
It is written there to keep cleanliness in mind. And we should keep cleanliness in mind. From Renuka ji, this mini zoo is at a walking distance.
But if you come here by car, you have to park here and this road is made from here. We will go in from here. We are walking right next to Renuka ji lake and the zoo is built on the lake edge. If you have all the energy only then come in the zoo, because I have to walk a lot.
We have walked for almost 1 km but we haven't seen anything here yet. I think we will get something if we go a little further. He has come from Ponta. And I have come so far because he said that we will see something ahead. We have been walking for a long time but I haven't seen a single bird yet.
So we might get to see the Asiatic Black Bear here. Did you find it? Let's go and see this. Hello! Hello bear! You are cute. Oh wow! This is so dashing. Leopard! Let's see it closely. I can even see its tail moving.
Oh, three times a year. What else did you see here? - Crocodiles. - Crocodiles too? - Okay I came here because of them till here.
Because they said that there is something ahead. Because they knew, they have come here many times. So because of these people, our journey is complete. Otherwise, we were going back. They said that the journey will be reversed. So we have walked almost 3 km.
There is still a long way to go. Let's go. But now we have to go ahead to Tape Ka Tiba which is also a little far. And because it has a history of its own.
So not keeping this video long let's go to Tape Ka Tiba. To be continued. Keep watching. Jai Maa Gange, Har Har Gange. SUBTITLES BY MOHIT
