ಇದರ ಬಗ್ಗೆ 9 ಬಾರಿ ಬಜೆಟ್ ಮಂಡಿಸಿದ ವೀರ ಯೋಚಿಸಿರಲಿಲ್ಲವೇ?

ಒಂದು ವೇಳೆ ಇದು ನಿಜವಾಗಿ, ಖಾಸಗಿ ಬಸ್ಸುಗಳ ಚಾಲಕರು, ನಿರ್ವಾಹಕರು, ಕ್ಲೀನರುಗಳು ನಿರುದ್ಯೋಗಿಗಳಾದರೆ, ಅತ್ಲಾಕಡೆ ಯುವನಿಧಿ ಕೂಡ ದಕ್ಕೋಡಿಲ್ಲ, ಯಾಕಂದ್ರೆ ಪಾಪ ಇವರು ಯಾರೂ ಪದವೀಧರರೂ ಇರೋದಿಲ್ಲ ಬಹುತೇಕ..

ನೆನ್ನೆ ಅನಂತಮೂರ್ತಿ ಅವರು ಇಹಲೋಕ ತ್ಯಜಿಸಿದ ದಿನ. ಹೀಗೇ ಅವರ ಬಗ್ಗೆ ಯೋಚಿಸುತ್ತಿರುವಾಗ ಅವರು ತಮ್ಮ ಜೀವಿತಾವಧಿಯಲ್ಲಿ ಹೇಗೆಲ್ಲ ಹೈಜಾಕ್ ಆಗಿದ್ದರು ಎನ್ನುವುದನ್ನು ಮೆಲುಕು ಹಾಕುತ್ತಿದ್ದೆ. ಅದನ್ನು ಈ ಎಳೆಯಲ್ಲಿ ಎಳೆಎಳೆಯಾಗಿ ಬಿಡಿಸಿಡುವ ಪ್ರಯತ್ನ.
1/n ವೈದಿಕರಾದ ಅನಂತಮೂರ್ತಿಯವರು ಸಂಸ್ಕಾರ ಕಾದಂಬರಿ ಬರೆದು ಬ್ರಾಹ್ಮಣರ ವಿರೋಧ ಕಟ್ಟಿಕೊಂಡರು. ಕಡೆಗೆ ಅವರು ತಮ್ಮ ಆಪ್ತ ವಲಯದಲ್ಲಿ ಹೇಳುತ್ತಿದ್ದುದು - "ನಾನು ಬ್ರಾಹ್ಮಣರಿಗೂ ಸಲ್ಲೆನು, ಅಬ್ರಾಹ್ಮಣರಿಗೂ ಸಲ್ಲೆನು. ಸ್ವಕೀಯರಿಗೆ ಸಿಟ್ಟು, ಪರಕೀಯರಿಗೆ ಸಂದೇಹ. ತ್ರಿಶಂಕು ಆಗಿಬಿಟ್ಟೆನೆ?" ಎಂದು.

Sharing a thread on the karaṇas depicted in the Mahānaṭa mūrti of Bādāmi mentioned in Bharata muni's naṭyaśāstra.

To preempt, as per āgamaśāstras and śilpaśāstras, this mūrti sculpted around 600CE (1400 years ago!) is not called as Naṭarāja but "Mahānaṭa" or "Nṛttamūrti". The mūrti is shown with 18 arms (9 on each side), few holding astras, few holding musical instruments and few bare handed - combination of which depict specific karaṇas from the naṭyaśāstra.

Had the good fortune of spending half a day at Kallēśvara Dēvasthāna, Élé Bētūru, Dāvaṇagéré on the auspicious day of Mahāśivarātri.
Like most Noḷaṁba dēvasthānas, this one too sports a beautiful antarāḷa recess sculptures depicting Aṣṭadikpālakas.
1/10 Central panel has a mesmerizing depiction of ṣaḍbhuja nartanamūrti who also is depicted as gajāñtaka. Quite rare a depiction and yet, very detailed. An uttama śilpa with Durgā, Skañda, Nandi, Bhriñgi (playing a percussion instrument) are seen.

Karaṇa Prakaraṇas in Bharatanāṭya

The village of Paṭṭipulam off ECR, enroute Māmallapuram from Cénnai has a temple dedicated to Bharata Muni, consecrated by India's pride - Viduṣī Padmā Subrahmaṇyam. 🙏

1/n Under the trust BIFAC - BharataMuni Il̥angō Foundation for Asian Culture, she was allotted five acres land by Puratci Talaivi J Jayalalitā, the then CM of TN.
Now stands here a beautiful dance memorial with the only temple for Bharata Muni in India.

Bhūdēvī-Nīḷādēvī samēta Śrī Ranganātha Dēvasthāna, Rangasthaḷa, Tippēnahaḷḷi, Cikkabaḷḷāpura Dist, Karnāṭaka

A UNIQUE Vijayanagara/Post Vijayanagara era temple built in hard granite rock, oriented in the N-S directions has the deity facing South. 1b/n

The legend says that Lord Rāma gifted his kuladaiva "śēṣaśāyi rañganātha" in a bamboo basket to Vibhīṣṇa after his paṭṭābhiṣēka.

On his way back to Lañkā, Saptarṣis residing at skandagiri pleaded Vibhīṣaṇa to consecrate the idol there itself.

Albeit a little late, finally sharing these now. (I had intended to share these on the occasion of Śivarātri!)

Beautiful "pediments" from the "Tribhuvanamahēśvara Dēvasthāna" aka "Banteay Srei Group of Temples", Angkor, Cambodia. Dedicated to Lord Śiva, this happens to be the only temple in Angkor that was not built by a monarch.
King Rājēṅdravarman II's councellor/philanthropist Yajñavarāha got this beautiful complex constructed in easily workable Red Sandstone.

Finished reading a Kannada Novel #Kasheera by @SahanaVijay last night. Must confess, I’ve wept many a times while turning over pages. 376 pages aren’t just enough to capture the agony Kashmiri Pandits faced nor it has an end unless we Indians come together in their support. Except for visiting the KP settlements in the valley, my trip to Kashmir valley in April-May 2017 was almost similar - encounter with youngsters that want a better & free life, ruined temples that scream the Hindu Glory of Kashmira, an all sublimed Shankaracharya Mandira & so on.
