SRI ANANTESHWARA, UDUPI (KAR)
#bharatmandir

The biggest and one of the oldest shrines of Udupi. The deity is Vishnu enshrined in a Shivalingam.
As per legend, King Ramabhoja worshipped Parashurama on a silver pedestal here and Parashurama manifested himself as Ananteshwara.

It is said that Shiva taught Parashurama in various arts of fighting. As dakshina, Shiva asked Parashurama to reside here in the form of a shivlingam. Parashurama, an incarnation of Vishnu, agreed and so Vishnu is worshipped in shivlingam and said to be in the heart of Shiva.
Parents of Sri Madhvacharya had worshipped here continuously for 12 years to beget a child. The great Acharya was born in fulfillment of their penance. It was this place where Shri Madhavacharya obtained lessons from his Guru Shri Achyuthaprekshacharya.

Sri Madhavacharya is reported to have disappeared from human sight in his 79th year while holding a discourse on Upanishads at a particular spot in this shrine. Since then, this spot has been adored as a sacred spot, containing the invisible presence of the Acharya.

Viruses and other pathogens are often studied as stand-alone entities, despite that, in nature, they mostly live in multispecies associations called biofilms—both externally and within the host.

Microorganisms in biofilms are enclosed by an extracellular matrix that confers protection and improves survival. Previous studies have shown that viruses can secondarily colonize preexisting biofilms, and viral biofilms have also been described.


...we raise the perspective that CoVs can persistently infect bats due to their association with biofilm structures. This phenomenon potentially provides an optimal environment for nonpathogenic & well-adapted viruses to interact with the host, as well as for viral recombination.


Biofilms can also enhance virion viability in extracellular environments, such as on fomites and in aquatic sediments, allowing viral persistence and dissemination.
