Auspicious #SharadPurnima!

Adi Shankara in Soundarya Lahari compares Devi's face to the autumn moon.😍

शरज्ज्योत्स्नाशुद्धां शशियुतजटाजूटमकुटां
वरत्रासत्राणस्फटिकघटिकापुस्तककराम् ।
सकृन्न त्वा नत्वा कथमिव सतां संन्निदधते
मधुक्षीरद्राक्षामधुरिमधुरीणाः भणितयः ॥

#SharadPurnima!

Also called Raas Purnima. The Maharaas is about to begin in the ancient temple of Sri Sri Govindaji in Manipur.

It is truly a sight for the gods! You should witness it live to experience it!

🤩🙏🤩🙏🤩
An image I clicked over a dozen years ago! At the Sri Sri Govindaji mandir in Manipur. Now imagine, hundreds of ppl, dressed as Krishna and Radha, performing the Maharaas around this, throughout the night of Purnima. The beats of the Pung and cymbals, fragrant incense..🤩🙏🤩

This is going to be a thread on one of the pioneers of the publishing industry in South India. Now mostly forgotten by everyone, he was a force to reckon with in the 19th century.

Sanskrit scholar, researcher and nationalist, Vidwan Shri T R Krishnacharya (1862 - 1945).

😀🙏
After the Maratha rule was established in the Thanjavur region, there was a big migration of several communities from Maharashtra and North Karnataka. From assisting in the local administration to spreading their own culture and traditions, many of them settled down there.
Several families of Pundits too migrated. The Tonape family belonged to the community of Deshastha Vaishnavas and followed the Dwaita Sampradayam of Sri Madhva. Their mother tongue was Marathi but they were equally fluent in Kannada and later Tamil. Sanskrit was always there.🙂🙏

Back in #Srirangam, today is the annual Jyeshta Abhishekam for Lord Ranganatha! Once a year, the Moola Sthanam gets a traditional purification in one of the most ancient methods. Will try to do a thread if possible!

Wish I could attend it personally!

Missing it! Sigh! 🙏😓 Image
It is a day long affair! The process of which would have begun few weeks ago! First they prepare the Thailam. But more about that later. As for today, early morning the temple elephant goes to take a dip in the Kaveri, as usual. No Vishwaroopam darshanam today.
The Sthalathars, Sthanikars, Maniyakarars of the temple recieve a special Mariyadhai first. They carry special pots to the Kaveri. 28 silver pots and one gold pot. A long procession goes from the temple to the Amma Mandapam. With the Nagaswaram and Thavil Melam.

Historic day you will not find in any history books!

The return of #Namperumal to Srirangam today, the 17th day of Vaikasi month on the Tamil calendar in 1371 CE. After a gap of 45 years! Some accounts say 48 years!

Remembering the sacrifices our ancestors made for Dharma!🙏
We all know about the plunder and destruction of Srirangam, at least in brief. Ulugh Khan and his army destroyed the ancient temple, kiled thousands of Hindus in 1323.

The Utsava Murti of Lord Ranganatha was saved by several devotees who gave up their lives in his service.
The Murti was safeguarded and taken from place to place secretly! On the way many more sacrificed their lives! We should have an entire book about it! In every school it should be taught!

The route taken by devotees over the years then, is marked here.

There are currently half a dozen people like this, claiming to be mediums and receiving messages from Satya Sai Baba in their dreams, all of them successfully fooling people and making money. We have no shortage of idiots around!

Sai Baba has no better work?! 🤔 😂
Satya Sai Baba in one of his many speeches had predicted that he would be reborn as Prem Sai Baba in Mandya dist in Karnataka. In his own lifetime, artistic images of Premasai were circulated. And that gave enough scope for several frauds to appear.
Here is one such guy. Some where in Mandya dist. And no shortage of people flocking! 🙄

Why has she gone there looking like some voodoo doll?! 😳😳😳

Images of Indian actresses at int'l film festival events, few decades ago and you knew they came from India! They had some grace and charm!

This @deepikapadukone looks so dreadful!

Yikes!

#CannotAbleTo 🙄
India has such exquisite handlooms and rich textile history. Unlike no other country!

This @deepikapadukone could have been doing wonders at a global level!

But she goes looking like something the cat dragged in!

Trust Indians to suck up to the West for validation!

Thoooo!😤
As Manorama asked in one movie, "Ivanga yaar?!" 🤔🤔🤔
