Many Hindu temples, particularly in Kerala and Kanyakumari, prohibit men from wearing shirts within. This is due to a scientific reason to ensure that a person's health. Let us have a look at how a temple compares to the human body.

Sri Ooraga Perumal (aka) Ooragathan, at Sri Ulagalandha Perumal Temple, Kanchipuram, TN.
-------------------------------------------
Thiru Ooragam:
God Shriman Narayana, our Emperuman, has manifested in the shape of Adhiseshan, the 5 headed snake in this temple.

He is found in a seperate sannidhi next to Ulagalandha Perumal in Thiru Ooragam.
Ooragam' (reptile) signifies Snake and God Vishnu gave darshan to Mahabali as the Serpent God here.

Mahabali Chakravarthy, the grandson of Prahaladhan, did a very large yagam (or) homam to get the Devendra logam, which is called “Swargham”.

But, that lokam belongs to Indiran, who is the King of that Lokam.
Being a top-notch devotee of Sriman Narayanan, he was capitulated by means of temptation and decided to acquire the Devendra Lokam.

To make him understand and punish him, Sriman Narayanan took the Vaamana avatar (dwarf) and requested 3 feet of his land.

Saptapadi

The most essential rite (Sanskrit: rītī) of a Hindu marriage ceremony is Saptapadi (English: seven steps, saptapadī). Saptapadi is a Sanskrit term that means "seven steps." The wedded couple walks seven steps after tying the Mangalsutra, which is known as Saptapadi.

The couple legally becomes husband and wife after the seventh step.
Hindu wedding rituals: During Saath Phere, the bride and groom exchange their marital vows while circumambulating (walking around) the sacred fire seven times.

This is because the bride and groom exchange marriage vows and hope for a happy married life together.

1. The first marriage vow, out of seven, is a petition to the Lord for nutrition and nourishment for the Hindu bride and groom.

2. Hindu Bride and Groom: The second marriage promise is for strength in sickness, health, good times, and terrible times.

3. For the Hindu Bride and Groom - The third marriage promise is for the Hindu bride and groom's prosperity.

4. For Hindu Bride and Groom - The fourth pledge is to stand by their families in good times and bad.

Vidura neeti & Chanakya neeti – It is a comprehensive book of advice to one & all though it’s taken as a dialogue between the Vidura & King Dhritarashtra. As the story in the epic goes, Pandavas claimed their rightful land from their cousins Kauravas on completion of their exile.

King Dhritharashatra sought Vidura’s direction. This collection called as Vidura neethi contains profound insights which he shares with the king while admonishing him to return the kingdom to the Pandavas. 1/11

This would be just and fair. The message and instructions are very useful and meaningful even today. Since it is part of the famous epic Mahabharatha, the text dates back to three thousand years BC.

Much of the stories, narrations, teachings and lessons from this epic though not well documented yet have survived to the test of time. 2 /11

The questions that rose in the mind of the king then are not different today which rises in any ordinary mortal. Strangely the answers given by Mahatma Vidur continue to enlighten us albeit centuries have passed.

The Kohinoor Diamond, whose name means "Mountain of Light" in Persian, was formerly fixed in place as the left eye of the Hindu goddess Bhadrakali in the Indian town of Warangal.

#LongThread

Koh-i-Noor was first extracted from the renowned "Kollur mine (Coulour or Gani)" diamond mine in the Guntur District of Andhra Pradesh, India.

This diamond was owned by the Kakatiya dynasty, which dominated much of the Telugu-speaking regions of what are now Telangana and Andhra Pradesh states in India from 1083 CE to 1323 CE. Its capital was Orugallu (now Warangal).

Around 625 AD, King Pulakesi II of the Chalukya dynasty built the temple of Goddess Bhadrakali to honor his victory over the Vengi district of Andhra Desam.

Later, the Kakatiyas kept this as the left eye of the statue when they adopted her as their "Kula Devatha," giving her primacy over other gods.

When the Sri Chakram visits our home, the full might of the cosmos is present. We don't need to be afraid because of that.
#Thread

Because the intrinsic strength of the Sri Chakra can range from fifty years to five hundred years, it depends on the metal—panchaloha—with which it is now created. It also depends on the Upasaka or Guru performing the prana-pratishta.

That indicates that it will safeguard you whether or not you perform Pooja by keeping it in an auspicious location.

Having stated that, once you perform the Pooja for fifteen minutes every day, we will also email the script because we have previously supplied it to many people.

However, for those who are interested in receiving the Sri Yantram, we will offer the script in either Telugu or English. If you choose to follow the script, it will take you 15 minutes of your valuable time.
