Starting my 2nd thread on Sringeri Parampara. This will cover the Jagadgurus after Sri Vidyaranya to Sri Shivabhinava Nrisimha Bharati.

It is really very tough to match the brilliance and achievements of Vidyaranya. After whom came 15 - Chandrashekara Bharati [1386-1389].

 The next Acharya was Nrisimha Bharati [1389-1408]. Harihara raya found a town for this Acharya - Narasimhapuram. Acharya helped the king by guiding him in political affairs. He also initiated the kind with mahamantras for spiritual development.
Subsequent Acharyas were
15-Puroshottama Bharati [1408 - 1448]
16-Shankara Bharati[1448 - 1455]
17-Chandrasekhara Bharati II [1455 - 1464]
18- Nrisimha Bharati II [1464 - 1479]
19-Puroshottama Bharati II [1479 - 1517]
20-Ramachandra Bharati [1517 - 1560]. Sadashiva Raya was emporer of Vijayanagara during this time.
21-Nrisimha Bharati III [1560 - 1573]
22-Nrisimha Bharati IV [1573 - 1576]
23-Nrisimha Bharati V [1576 - 1600]
24-Abhinava Nrisimha Bharati [1600-1623]. When he visited Malahanikareswara temple for first time he noticed there was no Vinayaka there so he took piece of turmeric and drew outline of Ganesha on a pillar and offered puja.
Since them, the image of Ganesha is slowly bulging out to fill the image Acharya drew, in the process hollowing out the pillar from back!! We can see this even now at Malahanikareswara temple at Sringeri. Acharya wrote bhashyam on Shiva Gita.
Some later acharys were: 25-Sacchidananda Bharati [1623 - 1663]
26-Nrisimha Bharati VI [1663 - 1706]
As you may have noticed there are a lot of Nrisimha Bharatis. That is because almost all the Jagadgurus of Sringeri were / are great Narasimha upaasakas.
27-Sacchidananda Bharati II [1706 - 1741]
28-Abhinava Sacchidananda Bharati [1741 - 1767]
29-Nrisimha Bharati VII [1767 - 1770]
30-Sacchidananda Bharati III [1770 - 1814] He was the Acharya during Tippu's time.
31-Abhinava Sacchidananda Bharati II [1814 - 1817]

This marks the list of Acharyas about whom we don't have much information.
32-Sri Nrishima Bharati VIII [1817-1879] was the Jagadguru for major part of the 19th century. He was a great yogi.
He spent about 40 years in Vijaya Yatras.
He is credited with bringing order to the Sringeri Samsthanam.
He had conquered hunger and sleep.
The Sringeri Samsthanam that we see today is for major part built on the foundations of Sri Vriddha Nrisimha Bharati and His uttara-adhikari, Sri Shivabhinava Nrisimha Bharati Mahaswamis.
When he was about 50 years he gave up normal food and began having only handful of boiled bitter gourd. That's all he ate once in afternoon and once at night!!
Rest of time he spent in medidation and pooja. His intense meditation on Narasimha made ppl in awe when they saw him.
Hence he was known as Ugra Narasimha Bharati.
He was also called Vruddha Narasimha Bharati.
Once Acharya was visiting Madura Meenakshi temple. One of His young disciple was prevented from entering the garbha gudi.
So Acharya brought two coconuts and transferred the Shakti of Ammavaru into the coconuts and declared to the astikas that it was enough to worship the coconuts from now on.
Ammavaru in the temple felt as though Her entire shakti left her.
The priests were deprived of the income for months and they repented for their mistake. They begged the Acharya to transfer the shakti back to Ammavaru. This incident is recorded in Madura Meenakshi temple history too.
Everyday at Sringeri Abhishekam is done to this Acharya's adhistanam with bhasma / vibhuti. It is said if one applies that Vibhuti to a person suffering from fever etc the pain / fever reduces within the hour.
I have personally experienced this with my elder kid and completely wholly believe that this is true. So everytime I have the bhagyam of going to Sringeri I try to get one or two packets of the Vibhuti.
One day when the Acharya was in deep meditation he heard a majestic female voice say "make space". He assumed it was order for him to nominate a successor. The Acharya sent for several horoscopes to be scrutinized. This process took 8 years. At last he found a suitable horoscope.
The boy was just 9 years old when he was made the uttara-adhikari [a.k.a Acharya's Shishya].
That boy was called Shivaswami in his purvasram. But when Urga Bharati Mahaswami gave him sanyasa he gave a boy a majestic patta [name]:
Sri Sacchidananda Shivabhinava Nrisimha Bharati. 33rd Acharya [1879-1912]. This was first time after Shankara that an Acharya had his purva asramam name in his sanyasa nanam. [Shivaswami - Shivabhinava]. This Acharya is considered avatar of Shankaracharya
It was during his time that Kalady was rediscovered and Shankaracharya's birth place found.
On the day the boy was given Sanyasa, the Guru asked the boy to lie down beside him and take rest. The Guru noticed the boy murmur in his sleep "sarvoham sarvoham" [I am all, i am all].
The Guru was mighty pleased with his choice of Shishya. He got the boy taught all shastras and trained him in taking care of Sringeri Samsthanam. 12 years later SSNB became Jagadguru.
SSNB started the Sadvidya Sanjivini at Sringeri in 1895 for Sanskrit studies. He taught advanced students prasthana triyam and Bhashyams.

He was instrumental in finding the actual birth place of Adi Shankaracharya at Kalady.
Ppl knew it was Kalady but did not know exactly so the Acharya undertook a tour of Kalady and did meditation there wherein he found out the place of Shankarachary's birth.
The Maharajah of Travancore brought lands known as Kalady Samketa and placed it at SSNB's disposal.
The Swami built the Shankaracharya and Sharadamba temples at Kalady under aegis of Sringeri math.
He installed the moorthis there himself! Another major work of SSNB was rebuilding Saradamba temple at Sringeri.
It was earlier a thatched hut but he got it rebuilt with polished granite. Though he did not live to see its completion.
He also built the Sringeri math at Bangalore. And started Bharatiya Girvana Praudha Vidya Patasala - dealing with advanced courses in nyana, tarka, mimansa etc
People flocked to him in crowds and waited at his doors for hours together just to get a glimpse. It was nothing but divine luster that shone in his face.
He was Srividya Upasaka par excellence.
It is said he could explain the 1st sloka of Soundryalahari in 100 different ways.
He was always perfectly impartial. Every one was equal in his eyes. Nothing but Bhakti could attract people to him. Rich or poor, high or low, everybody had to go through the portal of Bhakti. To hear of him was a pleasure. To see him was a privilege.
To speak to him was a real blessing.
It was during this time that a hotel was opened at Sringeri. That day the Acharya decided not to stay in Sringeri anymore and started going across Tungabhadra to Nrisimhavanam. The Acharyas from then on have been living at Nrisimhavanam only.
Once a person who did not believe in Shastras approached Swami and asked "what is use of shraadha ceremony? isnt it just superstition. Rice offered to our forefathers is still here yet we say forefathers have eaten it. How is this possible?".
Swamiji replied: "You are perfectly right in your doubt. I'll show u a parallel. For eg, a money order. if u go to a post office and fill the form out and give the money, money u gave is lying right there but the person whom u intended to benefit doesn't he get an equivalent?
While human agencies can do this for people at a distance is it impossible for divine agencies?"
Needless to say that person was transformed.
The Jagadguru resolved to nominate the devout celibate Sri Narasimha Sastry as successor-designate for the exalted peetham. The crestjewel of Sringeri -Sri Sri Sri Chandrasekhara Bharati Mahaswami [1912-1954]. I will start another thread from here on. Hari OM.

Sri Gurubhyo Namaha.


After the phenomenon called Sri Chandrasekhara Bharati came another one - Sri Abhinava Vidya Teertha [1954-1989] the 35th Jagadguru. Srinivasa was born on Nov 13, 1917. He was initiated into Sanyasa by Sri Chandrasekhara Bharati in 1931. He was Jagadguru for 35 years.

He was chosen and specifically trained to take over Peetadhipatyam from Sri Mahaswami. He is majorly responsible for the way Sringeri currently is. He built various buildings for devotees, Gajashala, Gooshala etc.

Acharya on conversions:
Once a person approached Sri Acharya that some other religions are trying to convert Hindus and requested Sri AVT to do prevent these conversions.

AVT replied - what do u mean by religion? Religion i.e. mata is related to 'mati' or intellect.
Caste is called 'jAti' which is related to janana or birth.
Ex- breed of a cow. we cannot change its qualities to resemble another breed by changing its name.

a small story which was told by Sringeri Acharya Sri Sri Sri Chandrasekhara Bharati Mahaswamulavaru. He was talking about Dasavataras and says [paraphrasing. so mistakes are mine. idea is His]

During Satya Yugam, Devas and Asuras were physically in different locations.. that is Devas were in Deva Lokam which was distinct from where Asuras lived in the the Asura Loka. A conflict would happen when any Asura wanted more than just his loka and went to occupy Deva Loka.

And then the Paramatman would wage a war almost always single handed.

Now coming to Treta Yuga, the Devas [Sri Rama] and Asuras were both in one loka. Some distant apart, but still one loka only.

Conflict would happen when, as in case of Satya Yugam, when the Asuras tried to disrupt the devas. In this case, Sri Rama went TO the asura loka be it Janasthana or Lanka and fought with them, along with help from other divine beings i.e vanaras.

This changed even further in Dwapara Yugam when the devas and asuras were born in the same family Sri Krishna & Balarama vs their mama Kamsa or Pandavas vs Kauravas. And the conflict arose as soon as they were born.

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.

It is said that the one who bears the dust thrown from the hoof of Gaumata on his head, as if taking a bath in the water of the teerth sthalam and getting rid of all sins.


Ved and all other Hindu scriptures venerate the cow. The Vedic dictionary, Nighantu, gives amongst other synonyms of 'Gau' [ or cow] the words 'Aghnya', 'Ahi', and 'Aditi'.

Yaska the vedic decoder and commentator on Nighantu, defines these as-

Aghnya —— the one that ought not to be killed
Ahi —— the one that must not be slaughtered.
Aditi —— the one that ought not to be cut into pieces.

These three names of cow signify that this is an animal which should not to be put to tortures. These words appear frequently throughout the Veda in context of the cow.

But in due course the falsehood of killing cows spread far and wide and they became even more deep rooted when western scholars with their half baked knowledge of Sanskrit transliterated these interpretations of commentaries of Sayanacharya ,

Read this. U may get it for free.
Short straddle :
What is ?? Sell an atm call and put.
Instrument: mostly bnf and nf.
Now there are versions of it.
1. Best version :
Enter around 9.15-20 and exit around 3.20. No adjustment nothing.
1/n.


If u r doing it on zero leverage(meaning u have full capital of around bnf's notional contract,i.e. 40000*25 = 10lacs), then u r most likely going to make better than fd or anything like that.
Simple rules : friday,monday, tuesday do for weekly. Wednesday and thrusday next week

So, gamma moves can't impact much.
Another better version of mahesh chander kaushik is to do it for monthly expiry.
Bigger premiums and never hav to worry about 200-300 points sudden moves.
2. 2nd version : have combined stoploss of premiums and re-entry criteria. Example :

Let say 40000 straddle is at 600. Sell at 600 and hav combined sl at 650. Many algos are providing this. U can even place stoploss in % terms. Like, if sold straddle at 400 and placed 10% sl, means if 440 combined premium touch, it will be stoploss.
Let say, in morning,

U sold straddle at 600 and it sl hit at 650. Now, u placed reentry at 600 with same sl. This time may be linear decay happens and u may cover morning's loss and make some profit.
3rd version : stoplosses at each leg and trail sl to cost type.
Example , 40000 straddle at 400.

MDZS is laden with buddhist references. As a South Asian person, and history buff, it is so interesting to see how Buddhism, which originated from India, migrated, flourished & changed in the context of China. Here's some research (🙏🏼 @starkjeon for CN insight + citations)

1. LWJ’s sword Bichen ‘is likely an abbreviation for the term 躲避红尘 (duǒ bì hóng chén), which can be translated as such: 躲避: shunning or hiding away from 红尘 (worldly affairs; which is a buddhist teaching.) (https://t.co/zF65W3roJe) (abbrev. TWX)

2. Sandu (三 毒), Jiang Cheng’s sword, refers to the three poisons (triviṣa) in Buddhism; desire (kāma-taṇhā), delusion (bhava-taṇhā) and hatred (vibhava-taṇhā).

These 3 poisons represent the roots of craving (tanha) and are the cause of Dukkha (suffering, pain) and thus result in rebirth.

Interesting that MXTX used this name for one of the characters who suffers, arguably, the worst of these three emotions.

3. The Qian kun purse “乾坤袋 (qián kūn dài) – can be called “Heaven and Earth” Pouch. In Buddhism, Maitreya (मैत्रेय) owns this to store items. It was believed that there was a mythical space inside the bag that could absorb the world.” (TWX)

1. Now that Stan Lee is being eulogized far and wide, it's important to remember how marginal Stan Lee and his collaborators (Jack Kirby and Steve Ditko) were in the 1950s and 1960s.

2. Marvel Comics (before that Atlas) was just a cog in the machine of a bottom pulp publisher run by Martin Goodman, the husband of one of Lee's cousins. It was the lowest of the low in the publishing world.

3. Now Mario Puzo (not yet the author of the Godfather) shared offices with Stan Lee in the 1950s and 1960s. Puzo wrote for garrish men's adventure magazines and, like Lee, dreamed of writing a novel & breaking out. But Puzo looked down on Lee.

4. Flo Steinberg, 1960s secretary at Marvel: "They were always making jokes about us. They'd come in and giggle. mario Puzo would look in and would see us all working on his way to the office and say, 'Work faster, little elves. Christmas is coming.'"

5. When JFK was killed, the whole office of Magazine Management was stunned and quiet. Except Lee. He continued working. "He was still working on the comic books," Puzo said. "Like that was the most important thing in the world."

Chennimalai Murugan Kovil
#Erode
#TamilNaduTemples 🚩

Chennimalai Murugan Temple is located  near Perunthurai in Erode District. Murugan is worshipped here as Dandayudapani. Temple is situated on the banks of Noyyal river also called Kanchima Nadhi. Temple is situated in a hill


Sthala Puranam says that, there lived a Landlord who had many cows in his farm. One among them was a Black Cow, which didn't give milk. Land lord observed that evening time, when all the cows came back after grazing, this cow used to go to a particular spot and gave all  the milk


by itself. He decided to dig the spot where the cow gave its milk

On digging a beautiful Vigraham of Murugan was found, but lower portion was very rough. So he called a great sculptor to soften it. Everyone was shocked to see that on the first chisel the vigraham bleeded.


Land lord realized that Murugan wanted the Vigraham the way it was.

Thus Prathishta was done on Chennimalai hill. It is believed that Sivalaya Chola got relieved from his Brahmahatti Dosha here. Kanda Shasti Kavacham was first offered here.
