This Shivaratri visited nearby Shiva temple run by the trust.

Clean, peaceful, excellent crowd control, polite archakas. Priest explained me work done by temple trust during Covid

We managed our temples for 1000s of years, what happened in last few decades?

In 1878, British colluded with local leaders & took over properties of Puri Jagannath temple.

'Secular' India used Hindu Religious Endowments Act to take over temples.

Hindus, only Hindus are not considered capable of managing their temples on their own.

Without any fear or guilt, misappropriation and looting of:

- Temple Donations
- Temple properties
- Temple gold
- Ancient murthis
- Temple rituals
- Temple upkeep....

Its painful to see many Archakas are paid peanuts, some temples have no oil for lamps! :(

“River Kaveri was flowing with the blood of 70000 Hindus massacred by Tipu!”

235years ago, on 12th Dec, tyrant Tipu Sultan massacred brave, unarmed Kodavas.

Let's not forget this massacre, instead wakeup!

Join us in lighting Diya at that very moment!

Tipu's father Hyder Ali was defeated several times by the Kodavas.

To avenge the defeat, Tipu repeatedly attacked the Kodagu (Madikeri) region. Kodavas are another name for bravery and more than 30 times Tipu's army was defeated by the brave Kodavas.

"Kodavas had great expertise in guerilla warfare!"

Every time he got defeated, Tipu's anger increased. He destroyed temples, changed village names to Persian, forcibly converted people.

Finally Tipu planned to destroy Kodavas completely!

Today...

● In the year 1837, freedom fighter Subedar Guddemane Appaiah Gowda was hanged publicly by British East India Company.

● Much before 1857, in the #AmaraSulya1837 Freedom Movement, our elders of Tulunadu & Kodagu collectively fought against British.

Paying tribute🙏
Fighting British, Appaiah Gowda along with other freedom fighters climbed thickly forested foothills of Western Ghats to recapture Madikeri Fort.

Freedom Fighters were inaccurately portrayed as robbers & looters.

Historical dignity of Bharat must be restored.

#AmaraSulya1837
Amara Sulya Freedom Movement is forgotten in the pages of history books.

History was first distorted by British & then by Marxists.

History of Bharat must be restored. Our brave history must be taught, so our future generations defend our nation, our dharma!
