'Mahendraparvata' is a mountain in the lands of Cambodia and the place where the dynasty known as the 'Khmers' began and 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 to build the great wonder of the world 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 is carved with sacred monuments known as 'Siva lingas' and throughout this river there are more than 1000 Siva lingas carved in the bedrock.

 

 

Siva lingas carved into the bedrock of this river is a reflection of the 'Shalmala' a river within 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 these lingas are carved into the bedrock we see the answer on the island of Bali which 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 as its waters flow over these Siva lingas and passes through temples as Balinese are aware of the fertilising potency of lingas and water their crops and rice paddies using this ancient system.

 

 

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

And so to Cambodia which may have once had its own centre of irrigation in the form 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 lingas are surrounded by a rectangle in a rectangle in a rectangle ( pictured below ) and looking down upon 'Angkor Wat' we see a rectangle in a rectangle in a rectangle and within this resides Mount Meru ( pictured above ).

 

We also see in the Siva linga, how it possesses five protruding lingas in the middle as within Angkor Wat we see five towers representing five peaks of 'Meru' all reposed in a rectangle in a rectangle in a rectangle as with Angkor Wat.

 

Cambodia is a place of mystery and magic and looking at the culture and language of 'Visnuloka' and 'Hariharalaya' and 'Mahendraparvata' we see that its mystery and magic descends from the ancient Vedic culture of India.

 

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