Kal Garuda Sevai, Nachiyar Kovil, Kumbakonam, TN.

Here the Stone idol of the bird Garuda, Stands as the Vahanam or Vehicle to the God Narayur Nambi.

Sri Garudalwar has a separate sannadhi in this temple extending about 10 1/2 sq.ft'.

He has beautiful big wings, broad chest and long hair.

Two times in a year, In the tamil month of Margazhi and Panguni, the festival called "Kal Garuda Sevai" is happening here.
(the festival where the idol of Narayur Nambi placed on the stone idol of Garuda and taken out into vibrant procession.)

There is a unique speciality regarding this Kal Garuda Sevai.
When taken out for a procession, until a step out from his sannadhi, he can be easily carried by 4 persons.

The moment he comes out, his weight would increase. He has to be carried by 8 persons, then further outside the praharam, again his weight would increase.
Then,16 persons are required to carry him.

Once again, his weight would increase. So 32 persons are required to carry him.

The moment they came out of the mandapam, he would get heavier and heavier ahead and 64 persons are required to carry him.
He would sweat a lot too and we can find his cloths get drenched in the sweat.

But after the procession is over, while returning back to his sannadhi, he would start losing his weight (step by step) or (stage by stage).
This is a remarkable wonder that takes place only at this place.

The entire discussion around Facebook’s disclosures of what happened in 2016 is very frustrating. No exec stopped any investigations, but there were a lot of heated discussions about what to publish and when.


In the spring and summer of 2016, as reported by the Times, activity we traced to GRU was reported to the FBI. This was the standard model of interaction companies used for nation-state attacks against likely US targeted.

In the Spring of 2017, after a deep dive into the Fake News phenomena, the security team wanted to publish an update that covered what we had learned. At this point, we didn’t have any advertising content or the big IRA cluster, but we did know about the GRU model.

This report when through dozens of edits as different equities were represented. I did not have any meetings with Sheryl on the paper, but I can’t speak to whether she was in the loop with my higher-ups.

In the end, the difficult question of attribution was settled by us pointing to the DNI report instead of saying Russia or GRU directly. In my pre-briefs with members of Congress, I made it clear that we believed this action was GRU.
