Where do we go during day outings?
One of the 52 Sidhpeeth in Devbhoomi Uttarakhand, Kunjapuri Temple is situated on a mere 28 km of Rishikesh at a height of 1,665 meters above sea level. These divine triangle temples are arranged in a group as Ma Chandrabadni, Surkanda Devi and Ma Kunjapuri temple, this divine triangle temples are considered to be very sacred.
Mythological Belief for Kunjapuri Temple:
According to Skanda Purana, the daughter of King Daksha, Sati was married to Lord Shiva. After the defeat of the Asura in the Treta Yug (Era), Daksha was chosen as the Prajapati King. He organized a Yagya at Kankhal in his glory. He, however, did not invite Lord Shiva because of Lord Shiva Opposed the making of King Daksha as Prajapati. Lord Shiva and Sati saw Kailash Mountain, the dwelling place of Lord Shiva, passing through all Gods and know that they have not been invited. When Sati heard about her husband's humiliation, he went to the altar and sacrificed himself in the Havan Kund. Until Lord Shiva reached there, he had been sacrificed. Lord Shiva came out in anger and done the Tandava. He opened his hairs and made free to Gana. He ordered him to bring the head of King Dasha and to send all the Gods back to there places. The repentant Gods apologized to Lord Shiva and requested him to give mercy to Daksha so that they can complete the Yagya. But, the neck of the King Daksha had already been cut. Therefore, a sheep's neck was cut and kept on the body of the Daksha so that they could complete the Yagya. Lord Shiva took out the body of Sati from the Hawan Kund and kept mourning on his shoulders for years after being angry and sad. All the Gods gathered to discuss this unusual incident because they knew that Lord Shiva can destroy the whole world in anger. After all, it was decided that Lord Vishnu would use his Sudarshan Chakra. Without Lord Shiva, Lord Vishnu divided the body of Sati into 52 pieces with his Sudarshan Chakra. Wherever on earth, the pieces of the body of Sati fell, those places were known as Siddha Peethas or Shakti Peethas (centers of knowledge or power). For example, Naina Devi is there, where her eyes fell, Jawlpa Devi is there, where her tongue had fallen, Surakanda Devi is there, where her neck fell and Chandbadini Devi is there, where the lower part of her body was dropped. The upper part of his body, i.e. the Kunja, fell on the place and that’s why it is now known as Kunjapuri. It is counted among Shakti Peethas.

Palm Reading
It is believed that left-palm displays the possibilities of a person and the right-palm exhibits the personality. The left palm says, what has been given to you and the right tells you what to do in this regard. As per the Vedic Astrology texts, the future is seen by the right palm reading and the past with the left palm. The left palm tells us, what we are born with and the right shows what we have created or what to do next. According to Vedic Astrology, a man’sright palm tells the future, while for woman's left palm tells the future.
The left hand is controlled by the right side of the brain. Through the right palm, identity and relationships, internal characteristics, nature, feminine qualities, and the path to solving problems can be predicted.
On the contrary, the right hand is controlled by the left brain and it reflects the external personality, self-purpose, impact of the social environment, education, and experience. Our experienced palm reader can usually predict the fate of the person's dominant hand (by which writing happens or the hand most used). It gives information about the past or previous birth. Most palm readers consider man's right palm for future predictions and the left palm of women.

I had a consultation with Dr. Dua. It was so informative. I definitely recommend seeing him for a consultation. He takes time to thoroughly assess you and give you a detailed description of your dosha. I learned a lot and hope to follow his treatment plan for a balanced life. I can't wait to go back to RIshikesh to learn more about Ayurveda from him.
Sachin is an excellent Ayurvedic doctor with a very accurate diagnostic of the health condition of patients. I had a great experience and would recommend him to everyone.
