Ok! Who were those #COVIDIOTS who said that the power grid would collapse?! And came up with all sorts of theories against the #9baje9mintues today! It worked brilliantly!
Wrestler, Trader, Ayurvedacharya, Bone-setter, staunch Vaishnava, Mysore Samsthana Raja Vaidya and finally a legendary brand in his own lifetime!
The iconic “Ustad” Kayangadi Papanna!
🤩🙏🏼🤩🙏🏼🤩
Wondering if i should put a thread! 🙆🏻♂️🤔
Papanna’s ancestors migrated from Andhra to the Mysore Kingdom about four generations before him. They belonged to the Telugu Balija community. Many members of that community migrated to the Karnataka region including the saint Kaiwaram Amara Nareyana Swamy.
For that we have to go to the great Maratha rulers of Thanjavur region. Especially the versatile King Sahaji (1684-1710). He was not only a benevolent ruler but a man of arts. He was well-versed in literature and composed musical operas in Telugu, Marathi and Sanskrit.
Sahaji was a great patron of artistes, scholars and Pundits. In 1693, he donated a village Tiruvisanallur to 46 families of learned Pundits. The village was renamed Sahajirajapuram. Great scholars of Sanskrit, Veda, Shastra and other allied traditional knowledges lived there.
So, this young (and restless) couple keeps on posting their every other image on SM. Them eating, walking, cooking, cleaning etc. They had twin kids.
Pictures kept coming! Everyone found it cute and all that. Hundreds of comments. They were encouraged to post more.
Few of us told them not to overdo things. They argued and fought. From one week total silence. Rather unusual for the SM addicted couple, I thought. Just checked with a common friend to see if everything was alright. I thought they were travelling or something.
The friend tells me their twin kids suddenly developed a strange fever one evening and it became so serious they had to be rushed to a local hospital. One of them didn’t survive. Other one is in coma.
Feeling terrible for them. They didn’t listen to anyone!
