Why Kerala State is called "God's Own Country"?
Younger generation will not know & older generation might have forgotten the History behind this.
When India got Independence on 15th August 1947, the Travancore Kingdom didn’t join the Indian Union Govt.
Diwan of Trivancore Kingdom announced in June,1947 that the Trivancore Kingdom will be a separate country by itself.
During that period, the Trivancore Kingdom was well developed with Public Transport, Telephone Network, & Heavy Engineering Industries. The King took over
all the expenses of the University. Above all, all Hindus were allowed to enter into all the Temples, without any bias on the caste, which was prevalent throughout India that point in time. When the talks were on between the Indian representatives & King Chithirai Thirunal
Balarama Varma, to make Trivancore Kingdom as part of Indian Union, the King said, "this land doesn't belong to me, belongs to Bhagwan Padmanabhaswamy & I am only the Custodian. If Bhagwan Ananthan asks me to do, I will oblige". The Indian authorities didn't believe this &
considered King's statement was just to dodge the issue. But the Travancore authorities showed a Palm_Leaf written on 20th January, 1750 signed by the then Trivancore King Anizhom Thirunal Marthanda Varma in favor of the Bhagwan Padmanabhaswamy that the entire Trivancore Kingdom
which extended from today's Kanyakumari & Paravoor, belongs to Bhagwan. This is the reason, why the Kerala State is called "God's Own Country".

A Kutty #Story
The donkey said to the tiger, 'The grass is blue.' Tiger said, 'No grass is green.'
Then the discussion between the two became intense. Both of them are firm in their own words. To end this #controversy, both went to Lion – King of Jungle.
@Mahesh10816 @RajeAiyer
In the middle of the animal kingdom, sitting on the throne was a lion. The donkey started yelling before the tiger could say anything. “Your Highness, the grass is blue, isn’t it?” Lion said, 'Yes! The grass is blue. '
Donkey, 'This tiger does not believe. @krithikasivasw
Annoys me He should be punished properly. ' The king declared, 'Tiger will be jailed for a year. King's verdict was heard by donkey & he was jumping in joy in entire jungle. The tiger was sentenced to one-year jail.'
The Tiger went to the Lion & asked, @SriRamya21 @chittukuruvi4

Aathi Kumbeshwara swamy #Temple - Mahadev Shiva is the main deity here. Aathi is primordial origin implies ancient. The Kumbeswarar is in Shiva Linga form which is a formless form - called aaru (formless)+uru (form)=aaruuru. @LostTemple7 ImageImage
The shape of lingam is of very special significance its in conical shaped lingam, This is unique in the world. The #Sattology derives the meaning of the shape & the name. The city name #Kumbakonam itself derived from the name of Mahadev - Kumba @Itishree001 @almightykarthik Image
& the slight angle of the Linga, hence the name "#Kumbakonam".
It is one of the 127 temples on the southern banks of river #Cauvery. It's mentioned as, 'Thirukkudamooku' in 'Thevaram',at present its called #Kumbakonam. It is a prime #Temple @Elf_of_Shiva_ @hathyogi31 @RajeAiyer Image

#Keesaragutta is a #Temple dedicated to Mahadev Shiva & his consorts Bhavani & Sivadurga at Keesaragutta in Medchal-Malkajgiri district, about 30 km from #Hyderabad . It is located on a small hillock. @sattology @Itishree001 @LostTemple7 @desi_thug1 @DivineElement
#Sattology says that Sri Rama installed Shiva Lingam here to nullify Brahmahatya Paapa of killing Ravana. He selected this beautiful valley surrounded by hills & verdant greenery for the purpose & ordered Hanuman to bring a Sivalingam from #Varanasi.
@RajeAiyer @Nidhi7007
Hanuman was late in arriving with Shiva lingam & as the Muhurtham was nearing, Mahadev himself appeared before Sri Rama & presented a Shiva lingam for installation. Hence the lingam in the #Temple is called Swayambhu Lingam. @almightykarthik @harshasherni @pujari_anup

#Experiences with Sri Maha Periva - Bring your mother!
Author: T.N.Suppiramani
Compiler: T.S.Kothandarama Sarma

For four or five years, our mother was suffering from rheumatism. She was bedridden. Image
But then my mother had a great wish to have darshan of Periyava. How could it happen?
When supplicated to Periyava with much hesitation, he said, "Bring her".
Taking Mother in a car, we parked it at the entrance of the #temple where Periyava was staying. @almightykarthik
Periyava's sight, fell on the car. The sadas(assembly), of vedic pandits was going on inside the #temple. Hearing the noise of the car, they muttered their disapproval & looked at us with disdain.
But then Periyava, as if he was calling a child, called my mother,@Aravindh_partha

#Experiences with Sri Maha Periva - Vacate the mandapam immediately!
The camp, was in Anakunti, on the banks of the #Tungabhadra river. One can see the ruined cut images, of the Krishnadevaraya empire, here. Around 2 o' clock in the afternoon, he gave his shiShyas sudden & urgent ImageImageImage
orders to immediately vacate the mandapam, where the cooking & dining was done, & move to the place adjacent to the Annapoorani #Temple. "There would be a cat & its kitten staying in the samaiyalKaTTu (kitchen). Drive them away too."
@almightykarthik @srinivazvasu @KanchiMatham
The mandapam vacated by the shiShyas, after the next half-an-hour, for whatever reason, started falling down slowly! Periva saved everyone, including the cat & its kittens!
