1. #Thread Kailasanathar #temple
Main Deity: Mahadev Shiva. This temple is situated in #Kanchipuram. It is a temple closely connected with the life history of sage Poosalaar (a devotee of Mahadev). This temple was built by the great king Raja Simha Pallava @sattology
2. in 7th CE. It is a treasure house of #sculpture . Mahadev in the temple was worshiped by Shri Vishnu & Sage Naradha. The idol of Mahadev looks graceful with the presence of stripes on it. @Vaidyvoice @RajiIndustani @harshasherni @Itishree001 @Tanvangi17 @VipashaRanjan
3. The demons other than the thiripuraris were by nature very unruly, harassed the celestial to the greatest extent possible. Shri Vishnu, who wants to destroy the demons, came to understand that Mahadev was the only #Divine power who could destroy the demons.
@almightykarthik
4. So Shri Vishnu set about his task of destroying their faith & #Devotion in Mahadev. Firstly Shri Vishnu created Aadhibuddhan as a form of his own self & sent him along with Sage Naradha to the demons.
@pujari_anup @InfoVedic @Nidhi7007 @Man_Banarasiya
5. Both of them succeeded in their endeavor to destroy the faith of all the demons (including the thiripuraris) There were thiripuraris - Tharakatchan, Kamalatchan & Vidhyamali who once prayed to #Mahadev with great devotion were graciously granted three worlds. @rightwingchora
6. The three worlds are #iron, #silver & #bronze world.
The Inner View of Kailasanathar Temple:
After destroying the demons, Sage Naradha & Aadhibuddhan reached Kanchi- the holy land. At Kanchi they felt as if the Papa Karmas wanted to get away from them & did not want to burden
7. them any more. So the place came to be known as Paruthimalai Kundram. A little distance away from Kanchi both Sage Naradha & Aadhibuddhan established a Moorthy of Mahadev & worshiped for many years. Mahadev then, appeared before them & said that
@Tejsingh123456 @sfeksk
8. they can atone for their Papa Karmas only by undergoing suffering in their different births. There are two entrances to this sacred place. At length, Mahadev suggested to them that if they enter & exit through a small passage round the shrine in the sanctum - sanctorum of the
9. temple as many times as possible, they can attain Moksha.
Details about #architecture & other details will be explained in a separate thread. @BharatTemples_ @Maha_periyava_ @LostTemple7 @desi_thug1

The layout & #architecture of the temple is replete with philosophical meanings.

The Ponnambalam, the sanctum sanctorum represents the heart which is reached by a flight of 5 stairs called the Panchaatchara padi - pancha meaning 5, achhara – indestructible syllables – "SI VA YA NA MA", from a raised anterior dias - the Kanakasabai.

The access to the Sabha is through the sides of the stage (not from the front as in most temples).
The Sanctum sanctorum is held by 28 pillars – representing the 28 agamas or set methodologies for the worship of Bhagwan Shiva. @sfeksk @kalpavirksha @RajiIndustani @rightwingchora Image

Science behind Gowtra #Genetics
Do you know why every time you sit in a puja the priest asks you for Gotra? What is Gotra system? Why do we have this? Why do we consider this to decide marriages? Why should sons carry the #gowtra of father, why not daughter? @sattology
How/why does gotra of a daughter change after she gets married? What is the logic? Infact this is an amazing genetic science we follow.
Let's see the #science of #Genetics behind gotra systems.
The word GOTRA formed from two #Sanskrit words GAU (means cow) Trahi (means shed)
Gotra means #cowshed. Gotra is like cowshed protecting a particular male lineage.
We identify our male lineage/gotra by considering to be descendants of the 8 great Rishi (#Saptarishi + Bharadwaj Rishi). All the other gotra evolved from these only.
