Sri Dakshinamukha Nandi Tirtha.. this one of the mysterious temples of India found recently. This temple is also called ‘Nandi Tirtha’, ‘Nandishwara Tirtha’, ‘Malleshwaram Tirtha’, ‘Bhasava Tirtha’, ‘Malleswaram Nandi Gudi’ or ‘Sri Dakshinamukha Nandi Tirtha Kalyana
Kshetra’. None of the many other temples in Malleswaram is so cloaked in mystery and debate as the Nandeshwaram temple. The controversy starts from its date of existence. The temple is stated to be 400 years old, according to the Archaeological Survey of India (ASI).
Some other sources believe this temple to be 7000 years old, but there is no historical evidence of it.

The temple was accidentally discovered by a group of people digging the land for the building’s construction. The locals say that the temple was completely buried,
and the land above it was an empty lot. In 1997, a local politician sold that empty plot of land to a builder who started the construction works, and coincidently the worker found the intact stone courtyard supported by pillars.

The local residents protested the
further construction and informed the Archeological Survey of India (ASI), who took responsibility for excavating the site further. Surprisingly, the temple was completely buried under the flat land and perfectly preserved by the thick soil layers.
Barely any work has been done on the temple since its discovery. And this is mainly because of the stand taken by the residents of Malleswaram, whose protests are what stopped the builder from going ahead with his plans.

One thing that is unique about this temple, as the name
suggests, is the direction in which both statues are facing – south (dakshin), usually temples in India face eastwards, and that a south-facing temple was almost unheard of until now. The temple houses a Shivalinga continuously bathed with water dripping from the mouth of a stone
Nandi statue. When ASI cleaned the mouth of Nandi, what they found was a small stream of water started pouring out continuously. And when the land was cleared at the bottom, they discovered that the water fell on the Shiva linga and joined the Kalyani in the middle of the temple
complex. The source of the continuous stream of water from the Nandi’s mouth is unknown. It has been hypothesised that water flows from the Sankey Tank here but has not been proved thereby remaining mysterious.

The day Amla (indian gooseberry) is used in your vegetables, from that day half of the medical mafia who keeps robbing you day and night, will run away.

*In ancient India, Amla was used instead of tomato to bring sourness to the vegetable. That's why the bones
of Sanatan Hindus were hard like Maharishi Dadhichi, so strong that Maharana Pratap's Mahavajni could lift the spear.*

Today, even after taking all kinds of calcium vitamins, the bones start humming in youth. In the season when local tomatoes are available, it is fine, but
instead of eating egg-shaped English tomatoes, use of Indian gooseberry will make your vegetable tastier and will also get you out of the web of the medical mafia.

Amla is the only fruit which has all kinds of juices. Like Amla, it is sour as well as sweet as well as

Koragajja
Is a very prominent deity for the people of Tulu Nadu in Karnataka. It is irreverent to say that the deity is a spirit of the Tulu Nadu region as he is the presiding deity for almost every Tulu household for whom life just does not go on without his blessings
Koragajja is believed to have taken an incarnation in the human form on earth at some point in time in Tulunadu history. Koraga, is a name given to a particular community, and ajja means grandfather, used mostly as a mark of love and respect to address the swami. He was born
Koraga Thaniya who lost his mother Maire when he was a 30-day-old infant. His father passed away soon after that.
