Joshimath Or Jyotirmath is a holy town in the lap or actually in high Himalayas of Uttarakhand state of India,on the banks of Ganga -its Alaknanda branch .It was the place from where the revival of Hinduism took place and the Adi Shankaracharya 632AD laid foundation stone of Mission of uniting Hinduism across the vast country by establishing four Matha Monasteries at four corners of the country-Dwarka in west ,Kanchi in south ,Puri in the east -and this place Joshimath Jyotirmath being the first in north .
Today we find old worn off temples and Three Shankara charyas who have never met each other ..have fought since years for the GADI or the post of the Chief of the monastery..Nor have they met the other Chief tains of Hinduism many of the same titles to discuss any thing worth while or challenges facing Hinduism ,a function given to them by their master-Adi Shankara 632 AD.onwards.. They all need to be meet with many more such leaders to guide the 21st century hindu towards facing the challenges of this century and guide them,unite them all...as their master did 1400 years ago..
The way Narsimha Temple here is managed leaves much to be desired for the great temples and artifacts of Hinduism the place
Valley of
Flowers is U-shaped alpine valley, formed by retreating glaciers, remains snow-covered from November to May. When the ice thaws in June, the valley is rich with herbs, medicinal and flowering plants, which burst into a profusion of colour in July and August. The month between mid-July and mid-August is the ideal time to visit. The Valley got
publicized as the Valley of Flowers when Frank S, Smith - mountaineer, explorer, botanist camped here for several weeks in the monsoon of 1937 and wrote a book, The Valley of Flowers.
Earlier Hemkunt Sahib was known as 'Lokpal' by the local inhabitants, meaning the sustainer of the people. Hemkunt Sahib was mentioned in the autobiography of Shri Guru Gobind Singh. However, the site remained hidden for more than two centuries. It was the famous Sikh historian and poet, Bhai Santokh Singh (1787-1843) who narrated the story of Dusht Daman, which literally suggests the 'vanquisher of evil', a name chosen for Guru Gobind. He also described the 'tapasthan' or the place of worship.
