'Mahendraparvata' is a mountain within the lands of Cambodia and the place where the dynasty known as the 'Khmers' is said to have begun and its also a name from the language of Sanskrit whose meaning is the mountain ( parvata ) of the great ( maha ) Indra.

 

'Mahendraparvata' is the place where all the fifty two million tons of stone came from to build the great wonder of the world which was originally known as 'Visnuloka' and which is today known as 'Angkor Wat' an amazing temple which is dedicated to Visnu.

 

'Mahendraparvata' is also special as at the foot of this mountain is a river whose sandstone bedrock has been carved with the sacred monuments known as 'Siva lingas' and throughout this river there is said to be more than 1000 Siva lingas which are carved into the bedrock.

 

 

Siva lingas carved into the bedrock of this Cambodian river is a reflection of the 'Shalmala' a river within the lands of India which possesses over 1000 Siva lingas carved upon its bedrock and known as 'Sahasralinga' the place of one thousand ( sahasra ) lingas.

As to the reason for these lingas being carved into the bedrock we find the answer upon the island of Bali which still retains its ancient culture known as 'agama tirtha' words from Sanskrit meaning the sacred knowledge ( agama ) of holy water ( tirtha ).

 

Bali possesses an ancient system of irrigation where its waters flow over these Siva lingas and passes through temples as the Balinese are aware of the fertilising potency of lingas and so they water their crops and rice paddies using this ancient system.

 

 

Bali also possesses its centre of irrigation in the form of 'Pura Danu Bratam' a lake dedicated to the Vedic river goddess 'Danu' and a lake connected to a vast network of springs and rivers which are all energised as they pass over these lingas and make their way to the crops and fields of rice.

And so to Cambodia which may have once had its own centre of irrigation in the form of the great temple of 'Angkor Wat' as it seems that the shape and layout of this great temple is a reflection of the Siva lingas which are found within this Cambodian river.

 

These Siva lingas are also surrounded by a rectangle within a rectangle within a rectangle ( pictured below ) and when we look down, from above, upon the temple of 'Angkor Wat' we find a rectangle within a rectangle within a rectangle and within this resides the mountain of Meru ( pictured above ).

 

We can also see within the above picture of the Cambodian Siva linga, how it possesses five protruding lingas in the middle just as within Angkor Wat we find the five towers which represent the five peaks of Mount Meru and all reposed within a rectangle within a rectangle within a rectangle as with Angkor Wat.

 

Cambodia is becoming more and more a place of mystery and magic and as we look at the culture and language of this magic in the forms of 'Visnuloka' and 'Hariharalaya' and 'Mahendraparvata' we see that its mystery and magic descends from the Vedic culture of India.

 

To appreciate this river of sacred lingas we have 'Praveen Mohan' a great Vedic explorer and researcher who has produced a 13 minute video which gives a detailed account of these lingas under water and to watch simply click upon the link below.
