About the temple Naimisaranyam (Part 2)

The forest of Naimisharanya is the aranya svarupa or forest manifestation of Lord Vishnu, and is therefore considered a sacred tirtha. Over the ages, it is said that more than 60,000 sages (ज्ञानी) have lived in Naimisharanya forest (aranya means 'forest'). Today the place is commonly known as Nimsar, a village on the bank of the River Gomti in Uttar Pradesh. Located about 100 km. from Lucknow, Naimisharanya continues to be an important place of pilgrimage for devotees, who go there to glorify the crown jewel of Vaisnava literature, the Srimad-Bhagavatam. The Bhagavatam was recited by Suta Goswami at the beginning of this Kali yuga, after the battle of Kurukshetra. 33,000 sages headed by Saunaka Rishi received the Bhagavatam directly from Sri Suta Goswami here.
