Andal, the One-of-a-Kind Azhwar!

Someone who is engrossed in bhakti with the omnipresent one is termed as Azhwar in Tamil. Among the 11 male azhwars, she is the only one who is female.

 Background: Andal, also known as "Godai" or "Mother Earth's Gift," was discovered by a pious brahmin named Vishnucittar, who lived in Villiputtur, a town near Madurai, while doing his daily chores of procuring flowers for the Lord's devotion at the local temple.
"Godai" grew up in a loving and devotional home. Godha grew up listening to Krishna's stories and participating in all of her father's pastimes, such as collecting flowers, Tulasi, and weaving magnificent garlands for Vatapathrasayee, the Lord of Villiputtur.
Her head was full of Krishna-related thoughts from the beginning of her developing stage, and she was completely enamored with him.
She made up her mind to marry Vatapathrasayee even as a youngster, refusing to think of any other human being in the same way. She envisioned what it would be like to be His spouse, playing the role of His beloved and enjoying His presence, such was her love for the Lord.
Unbeknownst to her father, she wore the flower garland he made for the Lord in the temple every day. She would return the garland to her father to take to the temple and gift to the Lord after enjoying her reflection and thinking of herself as His ideal wife.
Vishnucittar came upon a strand of Godai's hair on one of the garlands one day. He reprimanded Godai for her misuse of the garland and rejected it, shocked and horrified by this defilement of what was meant only for the Lord.
He painstakingly made a new one and offered it to the Lord, pleading for forgiveness the whole time.
In Vishnucittar's dream that night, the Lord appeared to him and inquired why he didn't offer Godai's garland to Him. He told Vishnucittar that the smell of Godai's body in the flowers was something he missed and that he loved them that way.
Please keep giving the garlands that Godai used to wear. Vishnucittar awoke overcome with emotion and wept tears of joy and sorrow. It seemed to him that his daughter had a deep and pure love for God that even he had not realized.
Her spiritual majesty drew the Lord Himself to be in her company. She was called "Andal," the girl who "ruled" over the Lord, from that day forward.
Andal is well known for her poetry, in which she frequently makes autobiographical references to her devotion to her Lord. She portrays herself as a young girl who is still growing up and aching for Him.
In her effort to find Him, she begs the help of her friends, the god of love, and even animals. Finally, she talks about how fortunate she is to be the daughter of Vishnucittar, the most ardent of the devout, who resides in Villiputtur and worships the Lord.
She wrote two of the most important religious works, Tiruppavai and Nacciyar Tirumoli, which means "holy sayings" in Tamil. Throughout India, during the month of Margali (December-January), talks on the Tiruppavai are held in Tamil, Telugu, Kannada, Hindi, and English.

அனைவராலும் “ஆறு வார்த்தைகள்” என்று பிரபலமாக அழைக்கப்படும் (ஆறு கட்டளைகளை) நம்பிகள் வாயிலாக இளையாழ்வாருக்கு அனுக்கிரஹித்தருளினார். அவைகள்:

1.அஹமேவ பரம் தத்வம் – நானே எல்லாவற்றுக்கும் மேலான மெய்ப்பொருள்


2.தர்சனம் பேத ஏவ – ஜீவாத்மாக்களும்/அசேதனங்களும் என்னிலிருந்து வேறுபட்டவை (அவை என்னுடைய சரீரமாக விளங்குபவை)

3.உபாயம் ப்ரபத்தி – “என் ஒருவனையே தஞ்சமாகப் பற்றுவாய்” என்னிடத்தில் சரணம் அடைவது ஒன்றே என்னை அடைவிக்கும் வழி.

4.அந்திம ஸ்ம்ருதி வர்ஜநம் – தங்களின் மரணத்தருவாயில் இருக்கும் சரணாகதர்களுக்கு, என்னைப்பற்றிய சிந்தனை கட்டாயமில்லை. வராஹ சரம ஸ்லோகத்தில் நானே அறிவித்தது போல, உன்னுடைய அந்திம காலத்தில் நானே உன்னைப்பற்றிய சிந்தனையை ஏற்கிறேன். (நம் ஸம்ப்ரதாயத்தில் ஆசார்யர்கள் நமக்கு )

காட்டிச்சென்ற இனிமையான பாதை – நாம் எல்லா நேரத்திலும் நம்முடைய ஆசார்யரைப் பற்றியே சிந்தித்தபடி இருக்கவேண்டும்

5.தேஹாவஸானே முக்தி – சரணாகதர்கள் தற்போதுள்ள தங்களுடைய இந்த சரீரத்தின் முடிவிலேயே முடிவில்லாத பரமாத்மாவிற்கு கைங்கர்யம் செய்வதற்கான பரமபதத்தை அடைவர்

"ஸ்ரீ சக்கரம்" என்னும் "ஸ்ரீ சுதர்ஸனம்" எம்பெருமான் ஸ்ரீ மகாவிஷ்ணுவின் பிரதான ஆயுதம்!

அவர் தம் வலது திருக்கரத்தில் ஏந்தியுள்ள ஸ்ரீ சுதர்ஸனம், பக்தர்களைக் காக்கவும், துஷ்டர்களை அழிக்கவும் செய்கிறது.


"ஸ்ரீ அனந்தன்" என்ற நாகம், கருடன், ஸ்ரீ சுதர்ஸனம் - இம்மூவரும் பகவானை ஒரு நொடி கூட பிரியாது அவரைத் தொழும் ‘நித்யசூரிகள்’.

ஸ்ரீ வைகுண்டத்தில் ஸ்ரீ மஹாவிஷ்ணுவின் இருக்கையாகவும், பாற்கடலில் பாம்புப் படுக்கையாகவும், ஆதிசேஷனாக குடையாகவும், நடக்கையில் பாதுகையாகவும் இருப்பவர் அனந்தன்.

பகவான் மனதால் நினைத்தவுடன், நினைத்த இடத்திற்கு அவரைத் தாங்கிச் செல்லும் வாகனமாகவும், அவரது தாஸனாகவும் திகழ்பவர் கருடன்.

"ஸ்ரீ சுதர்ஸனாழ்வார், ஸ்ரீ கருடாழ்வார், ஸ்ரீ அனந்தாழ்வார்" என இவர்கள் மூவர்கள் மட்டுமே, பகவானை ஆட்கொண்டவர்கள் என்பதால் ஏற்பட்ட சிறப்பாகும் - ஆழ்வார் என்ற அடைமொழி.

Vastu in the 21st Century!

#LongThread


Our ancient Vastu Shastra has been founded in such a way, that people can derive maximum benefits from sun-rays and the energies of the sun like heat light,

UV rays – are the only reliable source of Vitamin D (Vitamin D is absorbed by the blood directly when the bare skin is exposed to the sun), which is vital for the sustenance of life on the Earth.

Uttaraayana and dakshinaayana too are of great scientific importance since daytime will be more than the nighttime in the Uttaraayana facilitating the availability of more sunlight.

It is only some years ago that modern scientists discovered that the white solar light could be split into segments called visible rays and invisible heat spectrum.

How Your Body Is Engineered?

In India, it was taught that you shouldn't sleep with your head to the north. Why?

#Thread


Because pumping blood up against gravity is harder than pumping it down, your heart is three-fourths of the way up instead of halfway down. In comparison to blood arteries that travel downward, those that ascend have a more refined configuration.

They become so thin and nearly hair-like as they ascend to the brain that they are unable to absorb even one more drop. Something will explode and cause a bleed if just one more drop is poured in.

The majority of persons develop brain hemorrhages. You are not seriously disabled by this, but minor injuries do occur. You might become duller, as people are doing.

After the age of 35, if you don't take great care to maintain it, your level of intelligence begins to decline in many ways. Your memory, not your intelligence, is what allows you to manage.

EVOLUTION OF CROWNS

The ancient Indian kings called a head crown as a Mukut and it would mostly constitute of a golden ornamental headgear like an oval cap with gems.

Sometimes it would also include a halo circle to show the divinity of the king

1/7


As it was considered that kings were appointment by the gods themselves. Example the kings of mewar considered themselves to be the ‘Diwan of eklingji')

But in most cases very few Mukut with halo effect have been found.

2/7

Samudragupta in the gupta era coin. You can see the helmet like headwear on him.

Till gupta era the solid golden head wear was used in most days of the monarch.

But since the onset of 8th century it reduced in usage and was now used only as a ceremonial headwear.

3/7


Whereas earlier the Maharaja had to wear the mukut whenever his court was in session.

Still mukut was being used prominently for ceremonial activities till recent times.

But as times past the style of headwear also changed.

The kings mostly wore turbans ordained with pearls and gems while rarely anyone wore a true Mukut after 16th century.

The Ife Primary Education Research Project (1970-1983).

aka

The Ife 6-Year Primary Project.


In 1970, as the Director of the Institute of Education of the then University of Ife (now Obafemi Awolowo University, Ile-Ife), later Dean Faculty of Education, Prof. Babs Fafunwa & his team embarked on one of the most groundbreaking research projects in education for Yorubaland.


The aim of the project was to test the hypothesis that the best instructional medium for good concept formation at a very tender age is the mother tongue.

This was bolstered by the observation that “of all the continents and peoples of the world, it is only in Africa…

…that formal education is offered in a language that is foreign to the child.”

So, Yoruba was to be used & tested as an exclusive medium of passing information or instructions to a set of pupils.

The project was based on the premise that:

(a). the child will benefit culturally, socially, linguistically & cognitively.

(b). the child’s command of English will be improved if he is taught English as an entirely separate subject by a specialist teacher through the 6 years.

Shocking fact: Millennial men are less likely to work than any other age and gender demographic in America.

Today, there are 500,000 young men missing from the U.S. workforce.

Research suggests video games & improved leisure tech plays a role in the problem. 👇 Thread:

Following the 2007 to 2009 recession, 25 to 34 year old men exited high school with fewer middle-skill job opportunities than years prior.

During this time, we saw an increased number of men living with parents & choosing unemployment over lower paying jobs.

It's estimated that 24M millennials live w/ their parents.

1 in 4 living in their parents’ home neither go to school nor work.

What's more surprising? 9 in 10 who lived with their parents a year ago are still living there w/ no plans to leave.

Economists are calling millennial men a lost generation.

According to economist David Dorn:

“If you get to the point where you’re turning 30, you’ve never held a real job and you don’t have a college education, then it is very hard to recover at that point.”

Economists suggest this choosiness is a generational trait.

"I’m very quick to get frustrated when people refuse to pay me what I’m worth."

THREAD: What is Golden Crescent and Golden Triangle and how it impacts India?

Golden Crescent region of South Asia - comprises of Afghanistan, Iran, and Pakistan - which is a principal global site for opium production and distribution.


Golden Triangle is the area where the borders of Thailand, Laos and Myanmar meet at the confluence of the Ruak and Mekong rivers. The Golden Triangle is called so because of the triangular shape formed by the locations of New Delhi, Agra and Rajasthan on a map.


India is wedged bw world’s 2 largest areas of illicit opium production, Golden Crescent & Golden Triangle, that has made Indian borders vulnerable to drug trafficking. It flows from 2 fronts, NW & NE, that possesses dual concern - violation of border & threat to national security

- Golden Crescent is world’s leading opium and cannabis producing region since 1983.

- Its proximity to Indo-Pak border has worsened the trafficking of hashish and heroin into Indian soil

- Trafficking happens through the border states of J&K, Punjab, Rajasthan and Gujarat.


- Golden Triangle is leading opium producing region of the South-east Asia, also an ancient narcotics supply route to North America & Europe.

- Myanmar-Northeast nexus is recognized by NCB as the root of heroin & chemical drugs

- Myanmar produces 80% of heroin produced in world
