Ancient Indian Glory

ANCIENT INDIAN GLORY .
yesterday, we went to Nageswar , one of the Jyothirlingas to perform Abhishekam and then visited one of the oldest temples in India. this is dated back to 11,000 years old as tested by Archaeology dept and is maintained by Shankaracharya muth. this is a Ganesha temple where Lord Krishna prayed before setting up Dwaraka. the mantra chanted by Lord srikrishna is written there and the swamy(no pujari )says it is a secret and we there families who visited are lucky as one of the two proofs that Lord Srikrishna walked on this planet.rest have vanished in tsunami followed by Krishna Niryanam. second one is a spring that is called narayana ganga which we plan to visit next month. unfortunately in our country, we do not have history thanks to foreign rule for more than 2000 years. to-day, they talk about babri Masjid,but no body talks about Somanath temple destroyed several times. we talk about Ayodhya , but there is not even a trace of history that Sriram ruled the place. This ram mandir is not even few hundred years old which any archaeology studies show. Where as I saw Egyptians restoring Pharo's monuments though pharaohs are not Islam  again Greece is another country where I see more ruins and less restoration like in India  west who destroyed world cultures are atleast realizing now to restore. we need massive funds and honest people t work to restore the history of ancient India. unfortunately we also destroy our own monuments as for us survival is more important than restoration. if any body goes to Golconda, which is just few hundred years old, we see no body is interested in restoring preserving what is there. same is case with Hampi. surprisingly sri Lanka is keeping Ramayana ruins in a better way. we do nto have pride for ancient India  no wonder we are having low self confidence and low moral values. next time, i will post the photo of ganeshji which was worshiped by Lord Srikrishna. national geography is trying to bring some nice past history of ancient India. I thinkif people and Archaeology dept, are helped by people, we can atlest bring back some past glories. a recent example of finding 100,000 crore treasure in sri Ananta Padmanabha temple in Trivandrum.
