Ancient Siva Temples (Kedarnath to Rameswaram) on

Straight Line
12

Many ancient Lord Siva temples from Kedarnath till Rameswaram with Kaleshwaram, Sri
Kalahasti, Ekambareswar at Kancheepuram, Thillai Nataraja Temple at Chidambaram are
aligned in a geographic straight line around 79 E 4154 Longitude
Siva has five temples built, representing the manifestation of Linga in 5 elements of nature
named as the Pancha Bhoota Earth, Water, Fire, Air and Space.
The temple for water is in Thiruvanaikaval, fire is in Thiruvannamalai , air is in Kalahasti ,
earth is in Kanchipuram and The temple for space/sky is in Chidambaram.
Geographic Speciality : The five temples were built according to the yogic sciences, and are
placed in a certain geographic alignment with each other, so that the entire region
reverberated with the possibility they offered.
All above temples exist for thousands of years when no satellite technology was available to
measure latitude and longitude of those places.
Thiruvanaikkaval is located at around 3 degrees to the south and exactly 1 degree to the west
of the northern tip of this divine axis, while Thiruvannamalai is around midway (1.5 degree
to the south and 0.5 degree to the west).

Infact, Kedarnath temple in himalayas is also almost on same longitude as of these temples.
Kaleshwaram temple (where Lord Siva and Yama are placed on same platform), and
Ramanathaswamy temple at Rameswaram are also almost on same line.

How people have constructed temples seperated by thousands of miles (2383 km between
Kedarnath and Rameswaram) on almost same longitude, remains a msytery.

Flickering lamps in the SriKalahasti temple shows the play of wind (respiration of Vayu
Linga), Water spring in the innermost sanctum of the Tiruvanaikka temple shows the temples
relationship to the element water, Annual Kartikai Deepam (giant lamp is lighted atop the
Annamalai hill) shows the Annamalaiyaars manifestation as fire, Swayambhu lingam of sand
at Kanchipuram signifies the Sivas association with the earth while the formless space
(Akasa) at Chidambaram shows the association of lord with formlessness or nothingness.
