Vishwa Bhushan Mishra Performs Historic Jalabhishek at Mumbai's Babulnath Temple
VARANASI: Vishwa Bhushan Mishra , CEO of the Kashi Vishwanath Temple , performed the sacred ritual of Jalabhishek on the Kashi Vishwanath Shivling at Mumbai's Babulnath Temple on Thursday, using water brought from Rameshwaram . Tired of too many ads? go ad free now Speaking to TOI after the ceremony, Mishra shared that during his visit to Babulnath Temple in November 2024, he discovered that a Shivling symbolizing Lord Kashi Vishwanath had been installed at the temple decades ago. However, the temple authorities informed him that the traditional Jalabhishek with Rameshwaram water—a key ritual to complete the consecration of Kashi Vishwanath—had never been performed. According to legend, the tradition dates back to the time when Lord Ram established a Shivling of Kashi Vishwanath in Rameshwaram. Since then, performing Jalabhishek with Rameshwaram water has been considered essential. 'In November 2024, I had the opportunity to visit Babulnath Mahadev Temple in Mumbai, where I learned that a Shivling representing Kashi Vishwanath had been established many years ago. When I asked whether the Abhishek had ever been done using Rameshwaram water, the authorities said it had not. That's when I resolved to fulfil this important ritual,' Mishra said. Following his visit to Rameshwaram on Wednesday, Mishra travelled to Mumbai with the water collected for the ritual. He said the holy water was provided by CRM Arunachalam , a representative of the zamindar family associated with the Rameshwaram Jyotirlinga. Arunachalam had travelled from Chennai to Rameshwaram specifically to collect the water for this occasion. The Jalabhishek ceremony marked the symbolic completion of the traditional consecration of the Shivling at Babulnath Temple.
