Kal Garuda Sevai, Nachiyar Kovil, Kumbakonam, TN.

Here the Stone idol of the bird Garuda, Stands as the Vahanam or Vehicle to the God Narayur Nambi.

Sri Garudalwar has a separate sannadhi in this temple extending about 10 1/2 sq.ft'.

He has beautiful big wings, broad chest and long hair.

Two times in a year, In the tamil month of Margazhi and Panguni, the festival called "Kal Garuda Sevai" is happening here.

(the festival where the idol of Narayur Nambi placed on the stone idol of Garuda and taken out into vibrant procession.)

There is a unique speciality regarding this Kal Garuda Sevai.

When taken out for a procession, until a step out from his sannadhi, he can be easily carried by 4 persons.

The moment he comes out, his weight would increase. He has to be carried by 8 persons, then further outside the praharam, again his weight would increase.

Then,16 persons are required to carry him.

Once again, his weight would increase. So 32 persons are required to carry him.

The moment they came out of the mandapam, he would get heavier and heavier ahead and 64 persons are required to carry him.

Sunflowers turn according to the position of the sun. In layman's language, they “chase the light.”

This facing the sun phenomenon is called HELIOTROPISM.

We might already know this, but there is another fact that we apparently do not know!

Have we ever wondered what happens on cloudy and rainy days when the sun is completely covered by clouds?

This is an interesting question. Isn’t it?

Perchance we think the sunflower withers or turns its head towards the ground. Is this what crossed your mind?

Well, that’s incorrect!

This is what happens...

*They turn towards each other to share their energy.*

Nature’s perfection is amazing. Now let’s apply this reflection to our lives. Many people may become low spirited, and the most weak ones, sometimes, become depressed.
How about following the example of the beautiful sunflowers 🌻i.e. *"Supporting and empowering each other"*.

Nature has so much to teach us.
Wishing everyone a "Sunflower"🌻 trait of turning towards each other on the cloudy and gloomy days.

*Spread some goodness...it will come back to you multifold*.😊🙏

உள்ளத்தே யுறையும் மாலை உள்ளுவா னுணர்வொன் றில்லா

கள்ளத்தேன் நானும் தொண்டாய்த் தொண்டுக்கே கோலம் பூண்டேன்

உள்ளுவா ருள்ளிற் றெல்லாம் உடனிருந் தறிதி யென்று

வெள்கிப்போ யென்னுள் ளேநான் விலவறச் சிரித்திட் டேனே.

(தொண்டரடிப் பொடியாழ்வார் - திருமாலை - நான்காந் திருமொழி)

Meaning:

நாம் ஓரிடம் தேடி ஓட வேண்டாதபடி, நம் ஹ்ருதயத்திலுள்ளே எப்போதும் வந்து,

அனைவர் நெஞ்சத்துள்ளும் நித்யவாஸம் செய்கின்ற எம்பெருமானே! அரங்கா!

உன்னை நினைத்துக் கூடப் பார்க்க தகுதியும், அறிவுமில்லா மஹாபாபியான அடியேன்,

உன்னுடைய பரமபக்தன் போலே தோற்றம் கொண்டு,

“இவன் பரம பாகவதன், பரம பக்தன்” என்று காண்பவர்கள் எல்லோரும் வியந்து போற்றும் வண்ணம் சுற்றித் திரிகிறேன்.

"தொடையொத்த துவளமும், கூடையும் பொலிந்து தோன்றிய தோள் தொண்டரடிப்பொடி” என்றபடி கைங்கர்ய வேஷங்களைப் போட்டுக் கொண்டு அலைகிறேன்.

இத்தனை செய்த போதிலும், " அடடா! யார் யார் என்னென்ன நினைக்கிறார்கள்?" என்று அவரவர் நெஞ்சினுள்ளே உறைந்து நின்று,

எல்லாருடைய நினைவையும் நீ நன்கு அறிந்து கொண்டு விடுவாயே!" என்று நினைத்துக் கொள்கையில்,

,அப்படி என்றால், என்னைப் பற்றியும், எனது கள்ள வேஷத்தைப் பற்றியும் உனக்கு நன்றாகத் தெரியுமே!

The Centre in Thirunelveli comprises multi-disciplinary scientists for the measurements of electric and magnetic fields originating in the near-Earth environment. It is located close to the magnetic equator (the dip angle being 1.75oN) (8.7oN, 77.8oE geographic).

Coordinates of Thirunelveli is 8.73°N 77.7°E, 2 * dfference from Chidambaram at 79* 41 East Longitude.

And this is reason why Chidambaram is called center of Universe.

Chidambaram Temple,Tamil Nadu India is the Geo Magnetic Centre of the Earth/Universe and / center of Geo magnetic equator.

Of the branches of Physics we know very little about Magnetism.

Magnetic field study is evolving and most of them are at a theoretical stage.

As there are references to Chidambaram being the center of the Earth’s ? Universe’s Magnetic Field I researched.

Chidambaram Temple aerial View.

It is also stated that Lord Nataraja ‘s big toe is the Centre Point of World ‘s Magnetic Equator.

Chidambaram ,Kanchipuram and Sri Kalahasti lie in a straight line at 79* 41 East Longitude.

Curious as these happen to be among the Panchabhuta Sthalas, Places of Five Elements, Earth, Water, Fire, Air and Ether.

When the Sri Chakram visits our home, the full might of the cosmos is present. We don't need to be afraid because of that.
#Thread

Because the intrinsic strength of the Sri Chakra can range from fifty years to five hundred years, it depends on the metal—panchaloha—with which it is now created. It also depends on the Upasaka or Guru performing the prana-pratishta.

That indicates that it will safeguard you whether or not you perform Pooja by keeping it in an auspicious location.

Having stated that, once you perform the Pooja for fifteen minutes every day, we will also email the script because we have previously supplied it to many people.

However, for those who are interested in receiving the Sri Yantram, we will offer the script in either Telugu or English. If you choose to follow the script, it will take you 15 minutes of your valuable time.

Did you know?
Ahilyabai Holkar was one of India's
greatest women rulers of all time.

Ahilyabai was Born on May 31,1725 in the village of Chondi,Jamkhed distt,Maharashtra to a man named Mankoji Shinde,who was the Patil(Chief) of a village and a member of proud Dhangar Community.

Despite the fact that girls' education was a farther dream in those days, Ahilyabai was homeschooled by her father.
Ahilya didn't belong to any royal family but in a twist of fate she is still remembered as one of the most revered Queen in the history.

While they were living their humdrum lives, one day Malhar Rao Holkar, commander of the Peshwa Bajirao & Lord of the Malwa stopped in Chondi on his way to Pune, where he couldn't help but notice a young 8yrs old Ahilyabai in the temple service feeding the poor & hungry.

He was so impressed by the sheer innocence&beauty with simplicity character of Ahilyabai dat he asked her hand in marriage for his son Khanderao Holkar.Just like that she got married to Khanderao in 1733 at a tender age of 8&became a bride of esteemed Maratha community of Holkars

But destiny had something else in store for her as her husband died in the Battle of Kumbher in 1754 leaving her widow at 29.Distressed Ahilyabai was to commit Sati when her father-in-law Malhar Rao refused to let it happen.

My dad led an organization of over 300,000 employees.

When I took on my biggest marketing & events team to date (35 employees) I asked him how the *heck* he did it. Here's what he said and what helped me every day. 🧵

Remember you're leading all the employees under you, but you're not *managing* them all. You're managing your direct reports, which should be 5-7 individuals max. Focus on them.

When you interact with the employees you don't manage directly, get to know them as people first, that'll be the most valuable information in leading them. Remembering everything you learn about them is hard, but doing so will make you a superhero.

If you're not going to empower the managers under you, why do you have them? If you see room for improvement, let the manager know and let them make the change on their teams and come to you with questions/concerns. This will save you SO much time.

If you're the smartest person in any room - you're doing it wrong. As a leader, your job is bringing together the best people to get the job done - your skillset is identifying those people, not being one of them.

The 7 Habits of Highly Effective People has sold more than 40 million copies.

Don't have time to read it?
—No worries.

Here are the 7 key lessons you should apply:

Habit #1 — BE PROACTIVE

It all starts with action.

Rather than being "reactive" (externally influenced).
Focus on being "proactive" (initiative-taking).

This puts you in firm control of your life.

Habit #2 — BEGIN WITH THE END IN MIND

"No wind is favorable if one does not know to which port one is sailing."

I use this goal-setting system to stay on track myself:

Who do I want to be --> Monthly goal to achieve it? --> Daily action to reach that goal?

I update weekly.

Habit #3 — FIRST THINGS FIRST

Knowing the work that moves the needle is half the battle.

The Eisenhower Matrix can come in handy here:

Urgent + Important - Do it
Important + Not urgent - Schedule it
Urgent + Not important - Delegate it
Not urgent + Not important - Delete it

Habit #4 — THINK WIN-WIN

Always strive to find a mutually beneficial solution.

How to:
- Be as objective as possible
- Try to see from their perspective
- Determine what a "win" truly means for both parties
- Work to find the best solution for both parties
