When Adi Shankara first came to Sringeri, he came to the banks of a river, looking for a place to build a temple.There was a torrential downpour and he saw a frog that was pregnant and struggling in labour. There was a cobra there. Although a natural sworn enemy of the frog, it had spread its hood and was providing shelter to the frog. When he saw this sight, then and there he decided that this was the ultimate “Kshetra” – the site for the temple.
We have each of us been given a Kshetra in the form of our body and it is in these temples that the Kshetrajna, the Lord is residing. We should therefore strive to make this Kshetra the best possible place for the Lord.
