#Brahmin Yes. I am a proud Brahmin been imparted some of the finest knowledge and culture by my ancestors. Brahmin is not by birth but by his/her deeds and knowledge.

Mahakavi Subrahmanya Bharathi was a Brahmin. He fought against the caste inequality and propagated women empowerment. Can you overlook his contributions just because he was a Brahmin?#Brahmin
The so called liberals are the actual casteist who discriminate people based on caste, creed, religions #Brahmins

Snakes, Snakes, and Snakes was what was heard before this Uzhavaarapani started. Several members of Annamalaiyar Arapani Kuzhu encountered snakes in their dreams as the preparation of cleaning this ancient Shri Rama temple at Nemili Mathura Mathapuram, 15 kms from Tiruthani went ahead.Image
Disturbed by the visions and past accounts of seeing large poisonous creatures in this dilapidated temple, Ramachandran sir @pollaavinayen to sought guidance of Devaprasna. Devaprasna revealed that this is the abode of Shri Ananta padmanabhaswamy and the presence of Adishesha and Vasuki here. The temple is the parihara sthalam for pre mature birth and other pregnancy related complications.
Despite of these scary visions and warnings from villagers, kuzhu went ahead with Uzhavaarapani on 11th Aug 2024. 25 students from Rajalakshmi Engineering College, Chennai joined along with other devotees.

With divine blessings, Uzhavaarapani went well without even one encounter with snakes. Snakes had always been a common sight in several Uzhavaarapanis.Image

A thread on Sastha/Ayyanar worship. Do read.
Since time immemorial, Sastha worship has been prevalent across the globe. Sastha is widely worshipped as Ayyanar/Chathan in TN & Kerala with Shri Ayyappan of Sabarimalai as Dharma Sastha, one of the eight incarnations of Sastha. (1/n)
Image
Image
Sastha refers to teacher/ruler/respectful one while Ayyanar derived from Ayyan, which literally means the same. Ayyanar/Chathan references can be found in ancient Tamizh literary works Puranananooru, Silapathikaram with Kanda puranam calling him "son of Shiva". (2/n) Image
Puranas refers him as the 'protector of Vedas' and he is depicted with his two consorts Poorna and Pushkala. Inscriptions suggest Chera, Chola Pandyas and Pallavas worshipped Sastha for annihilation of enemies and prosperity. (3/n) Image

Do you know there is another Navapashana Murugan installed by Bhogar, one of the 18 siddhars? Yes, It's in Poomparai, 19 kms from Kodaikanal.
I was fortunate to visit Kuzhandai Velappar temple at Poomparai that contains the Navapashana Murugan as its presiding deity. #KodaiTales Image
Located at the centre of this picturesque hilly village, this ancient temple possibly more than 2000 year old was built by Chera King.
Few centuries back, Arunagiri nadhar stayed here and extolled Poomparai Murugan with a Thirupugazh. Image
Assuming the form of a child (Kuzhandai), Lord Murugan saved him from a Rakshasi. Hence the Lord here assumed the name, Kuzhandai Velappar. Image
