Significance of Yamunotri Dham

Rameswaram is known for cleansing all human sins and blessing the human body with eternal grace. Many devotees also come here to perform after-death rituals of their loved ones in an attempt of providing them salvation. Doing “Abhishek” (Coronation) of the Rameswaram Vishwalingam is the highest form of religious sanctity.
Many devotees who have visited Rameswaram claim that they felt an overpowering sense of relief washing over them during their entire visits. Some unique incidents that stand out are the ones related to the 22 holy teerthams of Rameswaram temple.
Some devotees claim that whenever someone bathes in the holy waters of the first few teerthams, he is reminded of all his sins committed in his entire life. People asserted that they could see all their wrong-doings and blips in their characters running like a slideshow inside their minds. They say that once someone has bathed in the first few teerthams, these visions start fading off and his mind becomes still. The other teerthams then work to add elements of peace and happiness in the person’s body. Although these are very intangible experiences, the large number of people who reported such visions is quite surprising.
