The famous aartī, "Jaya Jagadish Hare" is composed by Pandit Shardha Ram Phillauri.
It is said to have been composed as a Universal aartī by the author. The popular imagination phenomenon might have made it limited to Lord Vishnu. 1/n
The aarti made its first raw cinematic appearance in a song from the 1952 movie, Anand Math.
In here, the Govinda damodar Stotram of Sri Bilva Mangala Thakura is adapted with the 'Jai Jagdish Hare' refrain.
The rendition of the written aarti reaches its zenith in a later 1970 movie, Purab Aur Paschim. The protrayed song in the movie, playing background of the aartī, beautifully portrays the devotion towards the Radha-Krishna.
Why camphor is placed on the chin of Venkateshwara Balaji of Tirupati
In the very olden days the Tirupati hill was a very dense forest and was surrounded by great flora and fauna where not much humans used to reside. It was quiet difficult for humans to easily survive.
Shrimad Ramanujulu after installing shankhu Chakra, wished to pray Venkatesha with different kinds of flowers & leaves, which ofcourse was quiet challenging for people to travel & carry from below the hill to the temple on top. Maha vishnu is Almkara Priya(loves Decorations).
Thinking about this at Shri Ranga Matam he announced to his disciples about his wish & asked if any disciple would want to stay at Tirupaty on the hill top, plant a garden & take care of the Alamkara needs.Shree Anantalvar took the opportunity as a boon & expressed his interest.
Relationships are the most complex things one can ever deal with. While there are various paths scientifically which support the psychological set up if a human, spiritually some of the scriptures work in the same way.
Personal equations esp between a couple has it's frictions due to a sudden change from an individual to an added responsible life. Couple both have a responsibility towards relationships materialisticaly Nd spiritually.

Punishments for abusing deities and the scriptures in
The wretch that abuses Mûla Prakriti, the Vedas, the S’âstras, Purânas, Brahmâ, Visnu, S’iva & the other Devas, Gaurî, Laksmî, Sarasvatî & the other Devîs, goes to the hell named Bhayânaka Narakakunda.
There is no other hell more tormenting than this. The sinners live here for many Kalpas and ultimately become serpents. There is no sin greater than the abuse of the Devî. There is no expiation for it. So one ought never to abuse the Devî.
If one discontinues the allowances given by oneself or other persons to the Devas or Brâhmanas, one goes to Visthâ Kunda and has to eat the faeces there for sixty thousand years and finally to be born in Bhârata as worms in faeces the same number of years.
"Kalau Namasamkeertanam" is what the Kaliyiga dharma of teaching the lotus feet of Parabrahma. The most easiest way to reach Bhagwaan in this Kaliyuga is Nama smarana and samkeertanam. One must not forget this Dharma at all.

Kriyeta bhagwati addha tan manye adhitam uttamam - Bhagwatam
Love is universal, it can never be between distinct entities. When one realises oneness, true love follows. The sense of man and woman is dead when one attains true love. 1/n
However, we see that in nature every object animate or inanimate tries to attain oneness knowingly or unknowingly. For, instance we dress according to mainstream since we want to feel one.
Carnality is a futile attempt to unite the masculine & the feminine principles and so on
Such attempts are worthless as its foundation is itself based on change. Like, the mainstream apparel fashion changes etc. and everytime we too change.
