#AithiyaMaala #ViwamangalamSwamiyar

Vilwamangalam Swamiyar is one of the most revered saints in Kerala's history. He was famous as one of the few who could see Gods, Goddess, Celestial beings in their flesh and blood form. Thread below about his mahima

1/

 1. Vaddakkumanathan Temple

During Vrishchikka masa, Karthika star day is considered to be the birthday of Karthiayani devi in Kumaranallur.

On this day, Swamiyar visited the temple to offer his prayers, but doesn't find the lord in garbha griha

PC: Google

2/
After searching all around, he observes Mahadeva sitting on the southern compound wall and watching something in distance.

Swamiyar asks, "Oh lord ! Why are you sitting here"

Mahadeva says "I am watching the Aarattu (ceremonial bathing during festival) of my consort"

3/
Swamiyar says, "In that case, let me not disturb you".

He bows and immediately goes to the temple authorities and describes what transpired.

Immediately, a priest performed a pooja at the southern compound wall which continues till date on that specific day

🕉️

4/
2. Vaikkom Temple

Vaikkasthashtami Festival (was on 8-Dec this year) is one of the major festivals in this majestic Shiva kshetrams. Swamiyar visited this temple and went to worship the lord, but as usual, he didn't find the Bhagwan

PC: TOI

5/
He searches everywhere and comes to Chuttambalam where devotees were enjoying their lunch.

Swamiyar's eyes fall on an old Brahmin near a pillar in the northern corridor & immediately identifies Mahadeva. He goes and bows down to the almighty

6/
Soon news spread thick and fast. From that day, a lamp is lighted near the pillar in the northern corridor.

Even till today, on the festival day, all dishes are served on a plantain leaf and offered in front of the lamp.

7/
Devottees of Vaikkathappan consider it auspicious & privilege to sit in the northern corridor during the Asthami festival time.

🕉️

8/
3. Ambalappuzha Temple

Before we embark on this journey, it's important to note that Vilwamangalathu Swamiyar used to interact with Krishna in Bala Krishna form.

Ambalappuzha Sree Krishna Kshetram is very famous for it's temple & grand festivities

PC: Google

9/
Once Swamiyar visited the temple, proceeds to Sopanam only to find Sree Krishna not in his designated place.

After searching all around he comes to Chuttambalam. In the meantime, the feast for Marars (Traditional Drummers) was ongoing at Natakasala

10/
Swamiyar comes to this hall to find Sree Krishna in the form of a cook serving Payasam to Marars.

When Swamiyar inquires, Krishna says " I enjoy serving Marars as they toil hard and make my festival very grand.

Every year I come to serve them"

11/
This news spread very thick and fast.

Till date, Marars feast is considered to be one of the biggest events of the festival, with devotees thronging to experience the divinity in the Natakashala

🕉️

12/
4. Chertala Karthiayani Devi Kshetram

Once Swamiyar was passing through a village when he comes across 7 ladies bathing in a stream. Upon looking at them, he immediately identifies that these were celestial beings i.e. Goddess

PC: Google

13/
Upon watching Swamiyar, the ladies try to flee. There would 7 large ponds in nearby area. The ladies jump into these ponds to escape Swamiyar.

Swamiyar dives into each ponds and retrieves the devi and consecrates them in nearby villages.

14/
The last devi was covered by mud and hence, got installed as Chertala Karthiayani. Cher in Malayalam means mud.

When Swamiyar was retrieving her out of the pond, he lovingly admonishes her with filthy language.

15/
Hence, even today, on festival day, apparently lyrics have some filthy words which is enjoyed by Devi.

P.S: I don't have personal experience on this aspect only.

🕉️

16/
Vilwamangalam Swamiyar was instrumental in consecration of many deities like
- Thiruvananthapuram Sree Padmanabha Swamy
- Tiruvarppu Sree Krishna
- Ettumanur Shiva
- Chertala Karthiayani

and many more..

17/
Vilwamangalam Swamiyar lived very long before mukti. However, his end is also very interesting.

He meets Thalakkulathur Bhattathiri a famed astrologer of those times. Upon the request of Swamiyar, he says that Swamiyar would have 3 more births: Rat Snake, Bull & Tulasi

18/
Bhattathiri also says that he would meet Swamiyar in all his 3 births.

In the 3rd birth, he would be born as a Tulasi plant in drainage channel of sanctum sanctorum of a vishnu temple. Everytime abhishekam was performed, water would touch the Tulasi plant on it's way out

19/
Once it so happens that there is no Tulasi. The priest would be looking around and his eyes fall upon this Tulasi plant. He tries to pick a couple of leaves, but whole plant comes out.

A brahmin sitting nearby says "Use the full plant for worship"

20/
When the priest took the plant to sanctum sanctorum, the Tulasi plant merged with the lord's greenstone idol (Anjanashila), indicating Swamiyar's moksha.

The brahmin who suggested to take full plant was Bhattathiri in one of his births as promised

In a recent debate, someone challenged that those who don't do Trikala Sandhyavandanam don't have the right to comment.

Moreover, someone knowledgeable commented that I am half-baked and shouldn't comment

So I thought why not write down what I do on a daily basis. Maybe I can learn something from other knowledgeable souls on what might be missing to be considered worthy of commenting on some puranic discussions and debates.

#Vedas #SantiMantra

In majority of common and lesser-known mantras, we always end with

OM SANTIH SANTIH SANTIH

What is SANTIH? What is the significance of chanting this at the end of mantras? Why do we repeat it thrice?

Thread...

1/

* SANTI doesn't mean "Peace"

* There is no translation which can describe the total sense of this word

* Combination of 3 words SANTI = SA + ANTA + I

* SA = Joy

* ANTA = End of these

* I = Understanding - IN GATAU

* Very ultimate is SANTI

2/

* SANTI is a chant of the trinity - GOD

* Ultimate / Very infinite form of knowledge of bliss which is God

* It's saying my life too moving towards totality - May it be filled with knowledge and bless how much ever it can hold like a bowl in front of ocean

3/

* Why do we repeat it 3 times?

* Phases of Life are 3 : Consciousness, Dream & Sleep

* Times are 3 : Past, Present & Future

* God who controls the 3 times & phases of life, may he fill me with knowledge and bliss that wouldn't be lost for ever

4/

* Worlds are 3 : Bhu, Bhuvah, Suvah

* God who is omnipresent across the 3 worlds fill me up with knowledge & bliss

* Gunas / Qualities are 3 : Sattva, Rajas, Tamas

* God who controls these 3 qualities, performs creation, sustenance & dissolution, may he fill me with ...

#Ramayana #LecturesOnTheRamayana

In today's thread and perhaps some subsequent threads, we will start looking into Rama as a person. The author clearly tries to bring out the human aspect of Rama captured beautifully in some of the verses.

1/


Please note, the discussion is NEVER challenging the supreme divinity of the person, but tries to capture the nuances or the finer points of the Bhagwan.

Sri Rama had extra-ordinary merit - Unequalled, Unmatched merit. He always remained at his own highest level.

2/

He seldom fell below it at times, wherein one can spot the conditions that led to the decline. In these conditions, he did & said things that his own higher nature would never approve.

Sri Rama was indeed the guardian and embodiment in himself of Dharma.

3/

Some incidents bring out the very best in him where he is able to uphold his own moral ideal.

For ex, when Vibhishina sought asylum, he held a council of war with all eminent counsellors. Except Hanuman whose advice was considered weak, rest all including Lakshmana ..

4/

recommended him to reject Vibhishina, with a few even ordering killing him.

He listened to this charged conversation (a skill where we humans utterly lack today) & said the famous words:
" No man shall seek my protection in vain. No matter who, how undeserving, how wicked..

#Ramayana #LecturesOnTheRamayana

In the past, we had a glimpse of Lakshmana's devotion towards Sri Rama, his brother and father figure.

However, it is interesting to note his unique relationship with Sita, especially as seen by from her perspective.

Thread below

1/

We all know about the Golden Deer / Maricha incident and the way Sita influences Lakshmana to go in search of his brother.

Personally, I am unable to get 2 strong emotional points in one thread and hence, I will skip this incident for today.

2/

In Sundara Kanda, when Hanuman meets Sita, she says the following

सिंहस्कन्धो महाबाहुर्मनस्वी प्रियदर्शिनः।
पितृवद्वर्तते रामे मातृवन्मां समाचरन्।।

Lakshmana, who has lionshoulders and strong arms, who is handsome, who takes Rama as his father & treats me as his own mother

3/

ह्रियमाणां तदा वीरो न तु मां वेद लक्ष्मणः।
वृद्धोपसेवी लक्ष्मीवान् शक्तो न बहुभाषिता।।

Heroic Lakshmana, did not know while I was borne away. He is prosperous, foremost in serving elders. He is energetic and reserved in his speech like my father-in-law ..

4/

He is a prince dear (to his brother).

These are from Sarga-38, shlokas 60 and 61.

There are 3 distinct points which I want to draw the attention of the reader to.

1. She also compares Lakshmana to Dasaratha much like how Rama did when he constructed the hut in panchavati

Story of Thumba Poo and Shiva

Thumba poo is a tiny white flower which grows in all areas. These flowers are used for treatment for sinus. Small children who have polyps in Nose are told to crush tumbha leaves and apply in nose part.
There is an interesting story of Thumba and


Mahadeva. Thumba flowers were not taken for Shiva Pooja. Saddened to this Thumba prayed sincerely and Mahadeva appeared before her.
She was surprised that Shiva had appeared before her. Instead of saying that she wants to under his feet always, she said
@SriramKannan77


She said that her feet should be on his head. Shiva accepted her prayers. It is because of this Thumba flower is placed in the head of Shiva Linga.

WHY BABUR NEVER TRIED TO ATTACK SRI KRISHNADEVARAYA ?

A🧵u must read

It is very well known that Babur considered Krishna Dev Raya as the strongest ruler of the entire subcontinent, and Vijayanagar empire the strongest during that time in India.

1/10


The Vijayanagar empire reached its peak during 1509-1529 around the reign of Krishna Dev Raya.

Vijayanagar’s famed elephant brigade 👇

2/10


At his command there were over 50000 elite troops with a regiment of Portuguese gunners and 3200 cavalry with 600 elephants.

3/10

Along with that more than four hundred thousand ( four lakh) peasant levies and irregular military made this empire one of the largest in all of South Asia.

A typical Vijayanagar levie soldier 👇

4/10


During Baburs invasion, Krishna Dev Raya ruled supreme in all of deccan.

In fact, in an all our brawl, Krisha Dev Raya will beat Babur fair and square.

Babur could muster at max 50000 troops with 50 canons.

While Krishna Dev Raya had these numbers in Hampi alone

Did you know?

Rani Bhabani was the Queen of Natore, Bengal or 'Natorer Rani' as she was famously called. She made great contributions in Tarapith & renovated Benaras.

In Varanasi, Durga Kund Mandir was constructed by Rani Bhabani in the 18th century.


Born in Chhatimgram village, Bogra District,Her father's name was Atmaram Choudhury.Bhabani was married off to Raja Ramkanta Moitra,the then zamindar of Rajshahi.After his death, Bhabani became the zamindar, and started being referred to as Rani.She was known as Ardhabangeshwari.

A woman as a zamindar was extremely rare in those days, but Rani Bhabani managed the vast Rajshahi zamindari most efficiently and effectively for over four decades.
Maharani Bhavani was very pious in her personal life. She passed her life in a strict disciplined way.


She conducted the administrative work skillfully. As a Maharani she was an impartial judge. Rani Bhavani had a very hard time during the fag end of her life. The Zamindari (estate) incurred serious loss due to the change of the revenue policy of the company.

In spite of being the owner of a large Zamindari (estate), she had to depend on the stipend of the government in the later part of her life. The amount of this stipend gradually decreased and became Rs. 1000/- only in the end.

1) OBSERVATION: The frequencies are changing. I would have to assess stats on the electromagnetic field to see its fluctuations. All I know is, I am highly sensitive to energy/frequencies, and they are changing, because…

2) 2 Weeks ago, my dog was effected by it as well. He is hearing things that aren’t technically audible. I can tell by his body language and sounds. One week ago I began feeling a pressure in my head and ears. It wasn’t painful at all, but it was intense for a bit.

3) It reminded me of taking off in an airplane a bit. I felt like I was in a vacuum. It went on and off for a couple of days. I’ve picked up on frequencies and high pitched sounds (not audible to most) for 30 years, and today my right ear began to ring for longer than usual.

4) This is nothing unusual for me, with exception of the duration. This happens often with me. No, it’s not tinnitus. Only this time, when I spoke, there was reverb creating a high pitch in my ear from my voice. This lasted for about 30 minutes. It did not hurt, just annoying.

5) So yes, the frequencies are changing. What this means exactly, I am unsure of at the moment. Some will say electromagnetic fields, others will say ascension, and some will say pole shift. I honestly can’t say at this very moment.

A simple #swingtrading strategy
1. Whenever you see a stock in strong uptrend it will tend to take support on its 21 ema.
2. Always look whether the stock has taken support previously.
@kuttrapali @rohanshah619 @chartmojo @chartworldat
#adaniports #balajiamine #jswsteel


3. 21 ema will act as dynamic support in a trending market
4. Risk: Reward is favourable in such setups
5. 50 ema can also act as support which can be kept as stoploss for swing trading
6. Volume should be less during pullbacks .

VEDIC COSMOLOGY, also known as Hindu Cosmology, and cosmography are both interesting and inspiring. Today’s “modern” Vedic texts originated around 3,000 B.C.E. This is the oldest scientific and the oldest religious doctrine known to the human race.


Our current astronomy of the solar system and universe has its roots in Vedic knowledge. It only shows that man had advanced knowledge of astronomy way before our current civilization came into existence.
We are here to talk about the Vedic version of the planetary system,

starting at the top from the eternal planets to the temporary planetary system within innumerable universes in the material world.

Talking about “cosmic manifestation,” we need to incorporate both spiritual and material existence.


The spiritual realm of the planets is everlasting, and this will forever be beyond what the material universe can encapsulate. The spiritual realm belongs to the “super dimensional” or “anti-material” dimension. It means that it is beyond what we can perceive,


beyond time as a linear dimension, and the space of our vision and perception.

There are innumerable planets, all indestructible and forever lasting. That is what the Vedas say about the spiritual planets. Our concentration here is more towards the material side of things.
