Did You Know - Which is the World’s oldest Tape Recorder? by Sri Kanchi Paramacharya Mahaswami
Let's go with a #Thread
Once way back in 1940/50s someone was conducting an interview with Kanchi Mahaperiyava. That gentleman recorded the interview in a Tape recorder.
@KanchiMatham
Periyava then posed a question:
“Does anyone know which is the oldest known tape recorder?”
Nobody was able to answer. Then Mahaperiyava asked another question:
“How did Vishnu Sahasranamam come to us?”
Everyone said Bhishma Pitamah gave it.
All agreed. Then Mahaperiyava posed
another query:
“When all were listening to Vishnu Sahasranamam, who took Notes at Kurukshetra thousands of years back?”
Again silence.
Mahaperiyava started replying to everyone.
“When Bhishma Pitamah was glorifying Bhagwan Krishna with Sahasranama i.e, His 1000 Names, Everyone
was looking at him including Krishna & Veda Vyasa. After he finished 1000 Namas, everyone opened their eyes. First to react was Yudhishtra. He said, Pithamaha chanted 1000 glorious names of Vasudeva. Everyone listened but nobody bothered to note down. Now 1000 Namas will be lost!
Then Krishna said, “It could only be done by Sahadeva & Veda Vyasa will help to write it!”
Everyone now asked why Sahadeva. Krishna then replied:
“Sahadeva is the only one amongst us wearing Sutha Spatikam the Pure #quartz stone. If he prays to Shiva & meditate he can convert the
Spatika into Waves of Sound & then Veda Vyasa can write it! Then Bhishma & Sahadeva started the #meditation to get the Sound Waves of the 1000 Namas from the Spatika.
The nature of Spatika is that it will capture sounds in a calm environment & this could be got back with proper
Meditation of Maheshwara who is Swethambara & Spatika. So the World’s earliest tape recorder is this Spatika which gave us this wonderful Vishnu Sahasranamam!
From the Spatika recording, came the Grantha Book to us through Veda Vyasa.
When Mahaperiyava explained it in such a manner, Everyone were stunned!
JAYA JAYA SHANKARA 🙏
HARA HARA SHANKARA 🙏 @davidfrawleyved @RadharamnDas @ShefVaidya @KapilMishra_IND @UdayMahurkar @mmpandit @MySutradhar @LostTemple7

The place where the mandir was constructed is believed to be the place where Kannagi, the idol of the Tamil epic Silappatikaram, reassured herself after returning from Madurai. #Thread on Madhurakali Amman/Devi
To know more about Kannagi - pls go thru Thread by @Jayalko1 ji for Image
better understanding about Sthala Puranam:

Sthala Puranam says, Chelliamman was a local devi of Siruvachur. Her powers became delimited by a tantric, who started using the powers for destructive purposes. Mathura Kaliamman, a form of Maa Kali, happened
to visit the place seeking shelter from Chelliamman for a night. During her stay, Chelliamman revealed her servitude, & Mathura Kaliamman did away with the Tantric & saved Chelliamman. Chelliamman, in order to greet Mathura Kaliamman, moved to the Periaswamimalai, a nearby Image

Do you know how Lakshmana killed Indrajit (S/O Ravana)?
A fierce battle was going on between Lakshmana & Indrajit. Indrajith power was increasing rapidly & Lakshmana declining, so as per Vibhishan suggestion that Indrajith cannot be killed with any astra at last Lakshmana ImageImage
started his own hymn on Sri Rama to create a new astra
धर्मात्मा सत्यसन्धश्च रामो दाशरथिर्यदि || ९०-६-७१
पौरुषे चाप्रतिद्वन्द्वस्तदेनं जहि रावणिम् |

Dharmatma satya sandhasya Ramo daasarathir yadi|
Paurushe cha apratidwandwam sarainam jahi Raavaneem||
Meaning of this shloka: Image
Dharmatma - If Sri Rama followed 100% Dharma whole heartedly
Satya Sandhasya - If Sri Rama never lied in his life time
Ramo Daasarathir Yadi - If Sri Rama really born to king Dasaratha
Paurushe - Real warrior
cha apratidwandwam - if he is supreme purusha of vedas Image

Once there was a Formal Debate of Sringeri #Jagadguru Versus a #Missionary!
Following is an interesting debate that took place between the Jagadguru Shankaracharya of Shringeri Sharada piitam, Shrii Shrii Abhinava Vidyathiirtha Mahaswamigal (1931–1989) and a Christian
Missionary, sometime in the year 1973.
The missionary had come to Shringeri to debate with Acharya & establish the "superemacy" of Christianity over the #Hindu dharma. After exchanging a few words of formality,
Jagadguru: What is the purpose of your visit ?
Missionary: Swamiji, I intend to open a Christian church and an ashram just near you mutt.
Jagadguru: What's the objective or motivation for doing so?
Missionary: I want to preach Christianity and help distressed people seek peace and salvation

This place is Krishna patnam in Nellore. An Ayurveda doctor is miraculously curing COVID. Even serious cases are cured in a day or two. He gives medicine free of cost. Govt has formed a committee to enquire. As of now no complaints against him. Today 60000 went for treatment
only 10000 got medicine. Lot of chaos & stampede has taken place. Ayurveda commissioner who visited today confirmed that all the natural ingredients used by him are permissible & safe. He is yet to experience Live the miracle & he is going to check that tomorrow. Today those
people who has taken medicine has confirmed to him there are no side effects. VP Sri Venkaiah Nadu instructed ICMR to visit the place & submit report. If this miracle turns out to be true then for entire Pharma Industry is like Govinda Govinda

Today would like to share about
Sri Brahmapureeswarar Kovil, near Trichy,
Tamil Nadu
Main Deity : Sri Brahmapureeswarar (Bhagwan Brahma).
Ambal (Consort) : Brahma Nayagi
Holy Water : Brahma Theertham.
Sthal Vruksham : Magizha (Spanish cherry) tree.
Prominence of the Shrine : This is yet another spectacular Dravidian architectural marvel, the Brahmapureeswar Kovil. Not known to many, this kovil is tucked away on the outskirts of the Trichy city at a serene village near Tirupattur. After a 30 km drive from Trichy,
take left and a 6 km drive through the beautiful village side would take you to the Brahmapureeswarar Kovil. An Early morning visit is recommended for a great #spiritual ambience. The main deity worshiped here is the Bhagwan Brahmapureeswarar, an avatar of Mahadev Shiva.
