The Indian mythology mentions about the significance of various religious / spiritual places which one must visit for one’s upliftment.”Shri Shukratal Dham” is one of those places this sacred place is in the district of Mujjafar Nagar in Uttar Pradesh.

Six thousand years back, on the banks of sacred river Ganges (where it is situated), below the shade of great grand banyan tree, the great sage “Shukadeva” had given sermons to great King Parikshit (who was great grandson of famous Pandava warrior Arjuna). This was done to enlighten King Parikshit and free him from the fear of certain death which was to happen to him on a fixed day by snake bite which was also known to him. By listening to the sermons of Great Sage Shukadevji, King Parikshit became enlightened and realized that he was not only this body-mind machine but was something beyond it and was actually residing in this body-mind axis.
Because of this historical discourse which happened here and became the cause of enlightenment of King Parikshit, the place became famous.

Another reason for importance of such places is that – with such events occurring at these places, these are charged with the pious energy of the happenings and this energy remains in the particles of that place for millions of years to come and also serves as a reminder of the glory of that events and points to us the necessity for our spiritual upliftment.
