Absolutely. How else can be explained establishment of 4 Dhams in four farthest corners of India by Adi Shankar, and 4-Dham yatra made one of the most important karmakand?
How else can we explain the 51 Shaktipeets spread from Baluchistan in west to Guwahati in East and from Manas in Tibet to Trikoneshwara (Tricomaly) in Sri Lanka?
What else will explain the 12 Jyotirlingas spread from Kedarnath in Uttaranchal to Rameshwaram in Tamilnadu and from Somnath in Gujrat to Vaidyanath - Jharkhand in East?
How else would you explain Vivekananda establishing the mission in Kanyakumari, and Arvind in Pondicherry? What else can explain that Kashi Vishwanath temple of Varanasi being looked after by the Malayala Nambudiri priests?
What else will mean the historical and cultural one-ness of India if not this, I wonder?
