Guhyeshwari Temple (Nepali:गुह्येश्वरी मन्दिर), also spelled Guheswari
or Guhjeshwari, is one of the revered holy temples in Kathmandu, Nepal.
This temple is dedicated to Adi Shakti. This refers to the popular
legend where Shiva distressed was carrying the corpse of Devi Sati and
Vishu annihilated it with his Sudarshan Chakra. Shiva later declared the
51 such places where Devi Sati's body parts fell to be worshipped as
the Shakti Peethas and meditated at all these places as various forms of
Bhairavas. The place where Devi Sati's knees fell is Guheswari in
Kathmandu. In Nepal the form of Shakti is Mahashira and the form of
Bhairava is Kapali. King Pratap Malla built this temple in the 17th
century. The temple name originates from guhya (cave) and ishwari (goddess). Non-Hindus are not allowed to enter this temple. Guheswari
Temple is located near Pashupatinath Temple. It represents female
force. The famous Temple of Guheswori lies about a km east of. Guheswori
temple is located at the left bank of the Bagamati river. Guheswori temple belongs to female energy force and it goddess temple."
One of the great gifts of spiritual knowledge is that it realigns your sense of self to something you may not have even ever imagined was within you. Spirituality says that even if you think you're limited and small, it simply isn't so. You're greater and more powerful than you have ever imagined. A great and divine light exists inside of you. This same light is also in everyone you know and in everyone you will ever know in the future. You may think you're limited to just your physical body and state of affairs — including your gender, race, family, job, and status in life — but spirituality comes in and says "there is more than this."
Notice that spirit sounds similar to words like inspire and expire. This is especially appropriate because when you're filled with spiritual energy, you feel great inspiration, and when the spiritual life force leaves your body, your time on this earth expires. These are two of the main themes of the spiritual journey:
