Now some confused liberal VMK is asking me if Chanakya was a real character or not. I asked him if he read the Arthashastra? Fellow says no, can't read Sanskrit so depended on some translation.

He is more interested to prove Chanakya's identity.🤦‍♂️

VMK = VedhavaMundaKoduku*
It was at the Oriental Research Institute in Mysore that the great scholar Mahamahopadhyay Rudrapatna Shyamashastry (1868 - 1944) discovered the only surviving palm leaf manuscript of Kautilya's 'Arthashastra', one of the greatest literary discoveries of the century! 🙏
Read 'An Imperial History of India' by Sri KP Jayaswal. An important document that puts the history of Bharat in good perspective.

I don't know where these half-baked liberals come from! 🤦‍♂️

Book available for download here. 🙏

Shyamashastry's translation of the 'Arthashastra' agreed word to word with the 11th century Tibetan translation of the text! He was not even aware of that text!

So those who called it a 'Southern Forgery' had to shut up!

Now we have idiots questioning Chanakya's identity! 🤦‍♂️
These fools don't have the brains to read the Arthashastra in original. But they'll sit and debate the existence of Chanakya.

Why should a Brahmin be credited with such a brilliant work, no? Ideally some reservation category types should be eating that credit! 🤷🏻‍♂️

Thooo!
I told him he is many many centuries too late to do his liberal drama! Nobody gives a damn!

He can continue questioning Chanakya's identity and making a fool if himself, but that won't give him any brains to understand the Arthashastra. 🤷🏻‍♂️
Imagine you are showing someone the grandeur of stars in the vast skies and all that idiot can look at is at your fingertip and lament about some inane garbage!

Karma! 🤦‍♂️

VMKs only such types!

Veellu....vella brathukulu! Thooo!

Today is being celebrated as the birth anniversary of the great Srimad Appayya Diksita (1520-1593). A polymath, scholar, poet, Upaasaka, whose contribution to Shaiva Siddhantam and Sanskrit literature is unparalleled! ☺️🙏
Diksita's ancestors were Nitya Agnihotris who hailed from the Bharadwaja Gotram and were descendants of Rishi Angirasa. They were Telugu Vaidikis who migrated after the fall of Vijayanagara and settled in the Tamil country. Diksita's father Rangarajadhvari was an Aadhvaryu. ☺️🙏
The details of Appayya Diksita's personal life are very few and far. But we know some things from the writings of his nephews, and disciples, Suryanarayana Diksita and Samarapungava Diksita who travelled extensively and eventually settled in Kashi. ☺️🙏

Tonight is auspicious #SharadPurnima. Adi Shankara in Soundarya Lahari describes Devi's face to the autumn moon.☺

शरज्ज्योत्स्नाशुद्धां शशियुतजटाजूटमकुटां
वरत्रासत्राणस्फटिकघटिकापुस्तककराम् ।
सकृन्न त्वा नत्वा कथमिव सतां संन्निदधते
मधुक्षीरद्राक्षामधुरिमधुरीणाः भणितयः ॥ Image
This signifies the end of the monsoon season and the intermediate period before winters begin.

Traditionally they would cook a Payasam in a clay pot under the moonlight tonight and consume it tomorrow morning. ☺️🙏
The taste of cooking anything in a clay pot on a firewood stove is indescribable! 😍😍😍

It takes a few hours to slow- cook a Payasam. I feel like having this, with all the delicious smokey flavour, for days together! 🤭 Image

Getting news of singer @shobha_raju being made the Asthana Vidwan of the Tirumala Tirupathi Devasthanam. For the past three decades she has been tirelessly working to propegate the compositions of poet composer Tallapaka Annamacharya.

Well-deserved!
The TTD, time and again honours artistes with the title of 'Asthana Vidwan' for their services towards spreading awareness about the music of Tallapaka Annamacharya. In the past they have given the same title to Sri Rallapalli Ananthakrishna Sarma, Veturi Prabhakara Sastry,
Dr Mangalampalli Balamurali Krishna, M S Subbulakshmi, Nedunuri Krishnamurthy, Garimella Balakrishna Prasad and many others. Most of these were classical musicians. @shobha_raju is the first non-classical musician in a long time. She trained under numerous Gurus.

An excerpt from a Khanda Padya portraying a Pragalbha Nayika, by the legendary Vidushi Venkatalakshamma, one of the last dancers of the Mysore Palace. These Padyas were common before a Padam or a Javali in the Mysore style of Bharatanatyam and in Kuchipudi. ☺️🙏

What grace!
Venkatalakshamma (1906-2002) was a disciple of the famous Jatti Thayamma of the Mysore Palace. Well-read in Kannada, Telugu and Sanskrit, she was a wonderful exponent of Abhinaya. She was honoured with the @sangeetnatak award and the Padma Bhushan.

☺️🙏 Image
Venkatalakshamma's Guru Jatti Thayamma (1857-1947), came from a family of wrestlers. She was not a Devadasi, as rumoured later!

We have less information on whom she learnt dance from. But we know she debuted when she was 15 years old. She developed the Mysore Bani of BN. Image
