Mannarpolur Azhagu Mallari Krishnaswami Temple Mannarpolur is a small village on the banks of ‘Kalindi’ river near Sullurpeta in Nellore District of Andhra Pradesh. There is a very ancient temple in this village, which is almost a sleepy little village. Once upon a time, this Image
must have been an important village, certainly far more important than Sullurpeta which must have been of a fairly recent origin. The basis for saying that Mannarpolur must have been an important village is the fact that this temple is believed to date back to the 10th century Image
and is the only important temple in a radius of about 40 kms. There is no other important temple apart from this temple until Srikalahasti in Chittor District or till Nellore.
The temple itself has many unusual features. The main shrine has Lord Krishna with Satyabhama and Image
Jambavathi as his Consorts. It is believed that Lord Krishna presented the Samathakmani to Satyabhama and hence both Satyabhama and Jambavathi worshiped in the main shrine. Perhaps there is no other temple, anywhere in the country, where Jambavathi is present as the Divine
Consort. As one enters the main shrine, there is a small idol of Lord Venkateswara on the left side of the Mahamandapa and just outside the Sanctum Sanctorum. To the right of the main shrine there is a separate shrine for Sri Rukmini, who is worshiped as Soundaravalli Thayar. Image
Behind the main shrine, is small shrine with a big moorthi of Jambhavant. To the left of the main, there is a shrine for Lord Rama with Sita and Lakshmana on either side and Hanuman. An unusual feature here is that there are two Dwajasthambams and two Balipeetams within the same Image
temple, one in front of the main shrine and other in front of Sri Rama. #Hindutva #temple #temples

Ancient Batteries, Hydrogen & Oxygen discovered by Rishi Agastya in India
Agastya Samhita, written thousands of years ago contains methods to construct an electric battery or cell, and also, how to utilize the battery to ‘split‘ water into its constituent gasses
(Hydrogen an Oxygen).
Modern battery cell resembles Agastya’s method of generating electricity. For generating electricity, Sage Agastya had used the following materials : One earthen pot, Copper plate, Copper sulphate, Wet saw dust, Zinc amalgam.
A clean copper plate is put in an earthenware vessel.
It is covered first by copper sulfate and then moist sawdust.
After that put a mercury-amalgamated-zinc sheet on top of an energy known by the twin name of Mitra-Varuna.
Water will be split by this current into Pranavayu

दधिची ऋषि ने धर्म की रक्षा के लिए अस्थि_दान किया था !
उनकी हड्डियों से तीन धनुष बने-
१. गांडीव, २. पिनाक और ३. सारंग !
जिसमे से गांडीव अर्जुन को मिला था जिसके बल पर अर्जुन ने महाभारत का युद्ध जीता
सारंग से भगवान_राम ने युद्ध किया था और रावण के अत्याचारी राज्य को ध्वस्त किया था
और, पिनाक था भगवान_शिव जी के पास जिसे तपस्या के माध्यम से खुश भगवान शिव से रावण ने मांग लिया था !
परन्तु... वह उसका भार लम्बे समय तक नहीं उठा पाने के कारण बीच रास्ते में जनकपुरी में छोड़ आया था !

इसी पिनाक की नित्य सेवा सीताजी किया करती थी ! पिनाक का भंजन करके ही भगवान राम ने
सीता जी का वरण किया था !

ब्रह्मर्षि दधिची की हड्डियों से ही एकघ्नी नामक वज्र भी बना था ... जो भगवान इन्द्र को प्राप्त हुआ था !

इस एकघ्नी वज्र को इन्द्र ने कर्ण की तपस्या से खुश होकर उन्होंने कर्ण को दे दिया था! इसी एकघ्नी से महाभारत के युद्ध में भीम का महाप्रतापी पुत्र घटोत्कच

#जगन्नाथ धाम, पुरी की रसोई अत्यंत अद्भुत है। 172 साल पुराने इस मंदिर के एक एकड़ में फैली 32 कमरों वाली इस विशाल रसोई (150 फ़ीट लंबी, 100 फ़ीट चौड़ी और 20 फ़ीट ऊँची) में भगवान् को चढ़ाये जाने वाले महाप्रसाद को तैयार करने के लिए 752 चूल्हे इस्तेमाल में लाए जाते हैं और
लगभग 500 रसोइए तथा उनके 300 सहयोगी काम करते हैं। ये सारा प्रसाद मिट्टी की जिन सात सौ हंडियों में पकाया जाता है, उन्हें ‘अटका’ कहते हैं। लगभग दो सौ सेवक सब्जियों, फलों, नारियल इत्यादि को काटते हैं, मसालों को पीसते हैं। मान्यता है कि इस रसोई में जो भी भोग बनाया जाता है,
उसका निर्माण माता लक्ष्मी की देखरेख में ही होता है।

यह रसोई विश्व की सबसे बड़ी रसोई के रूप में विख्यात है।
यह मंदिर की दक्षिण-पूर्व दिशा में स्थित है। भोग पूरी तरह शाकाहारी होता है। मीठे व्यंजन तैयार करने के लिए यहाँ शक्कर के स्थान पर अच्छे किस्म का गुड़ प्रयोग में लाया
