#MohiniEkadesi

This is commemorated during Shukla Paksha on Ekadasi 11th day of Vaisakha month. Fasting on this Ekadasi is dedicated to Bhagwan Vishnu. It’s well-known by all devotees that fasting aids in washing away all the sins committed by the people.

Abhangs, a Marathi poetic pattern has caught up craze with Tamils of late. Abhangs are easy to follow with 4 lines and 4 syllables in each line used mainly in Sankirtan. So, trying to explain a popular abhang.

Maajhe Maher Pandhari…

Majhe Maher Pandhari, Aahe Bhim Ratya tiri.. (or Bheevarechya tiri..)

Pandharpur is my maternal home, that is on the banks of River Bheema. (Maher = maternal home)

Maher in Marathi means maternal home! In Indian household, among women, the maternal home always has a special place. For every woman, even after decades of marriage and having lived in the extended family, maternal home (mother’s home) always remains a special place for her.

The reasons are very many but no place fills the place of a maternal home.

Sant Eknath, in this Abhang, describes Pandharpur as his maternal house – a very special place to him in his life, a place he always wishes to go, where he can go and stay at his own wish,

spend time at his own will and yet none complains. He gets all the liberty to do at this place. It is a place of respite for him. Or in another sense, Pandharpur is his real home.

Baap aani aayee, majhi Vittal Rakumayee…

Sri Ananthalwar, Sri Chakrathalwar and Sri Garudalwar.

"ஸ்ரீ சக்கரம்" என்னும் "ஸ்ரீ சுதர்ஸனம்" எம்பெருமான் ஸ்ரீ மகாவிஷ்ணுவின் பிரதான ஆயுதம்!

அவர் தம் வலது திருக்கரத்தில் ஏந்தியுள்ள ஸ்ரீ சுதர்ஸனம், பக்தர்களைக் காக்கவும், துஷ்டர்களை அழிக்கவும் செய்கிறது.

"ஸ்ரீ அனந்தன்" என்ற நாகம், கருடன், ஸ்ரீ சுதர்ஸனம் - இம்மூவரும் பகவானை ஒரு நொடி கூட பிரியாது அவரைத் தொழும் ‘நித்யசூரிகள்’.

ஸ்ரீ வைகுண்டத்தில் ஸ்ரீ மஹாவிஷ்ணுவின் இருக்கையாகவும், பாற்கடலில் பாம்புப் படுக்கையாகவும், ஆதிசேஷனாக குடையாகவும், நடக்கையில் பாதுகையாகவும் இருப்பவர் அனந்தன்.

பகவான் மனதால் நினைத்தவுடன், நினைத்த இடத்திற்கு அவரைத் தாங்கிச் செல்லும் வாகனமாகவும், அவரது தாஸனாகவும் திகழ்பவர் கருடன்.

"ஸ்ரீ சுதர்ஸனாழ்வார், ஸ்ரீ கருடாழ்வார், ஸ்ரீ அனந்தாழ்வார்" என இவர்கள் மூவர்கள் மட்டுமே, பகவானை ஆட்கொண்டவர்கள் என்பதால் ஏற்பட்ட சிறப்பாகும் - ஆழ்வார் என்ற அடைமொழி.

நாராயணா ஹரி நாராயணா!

திருஎழு கூற்றிருக்கை - திருமங்கை ஆழ்வார்
===================================
"திரு எழு கூற்றிருக்கை" என்பது தமிழ் யாப்பு வகைகளில் மிகக் கடினமானது.

இதைச் "சித்திரகவி" என்றும் அழைப்பர்.

கவிதை முழுக்க முழுக்க திருக்குடந்தைப் பிரானின் பெருமையையும் குடந்தையின் இயற்கைக் காட்சிகளையும் காணலாம்.

பக்தியை எண்களில் வடித்து வெளிப்படுத்த முடியும் என்பதற்கு இப்பாசுரம் ஓர் எடுத்துக்காட்டு.

"செல்வம் மல்குதென் திருக்குடந்தை
அந்தணர் மந்திர மொழியுடன் வணங்க
ஆடு அரவு அமளியில் அறிதுயில் அமர்ந்த
பரம! நின் அடியிணை பணிவன்
வரும் இடர் அகல - மாற்றோ வினையே"

(அரவு அமளி = பாம்புப் படுக்கை)

என்று துன்பங்களைக் களைந்து அருள் தரும்படி பாசுரம் நிறைவு பெறுகின்றது.

Navigation in Ancient India

#LongThread

Indian civilization has been without a break for the last few millennia. This means there have been external connections and indigenous maritime assets.

Among the remains, the maritime assets archaeology are much prized and cited, a dock being the most prized. It also precludes the requirement of knowledge of the seas i.e. a compass.

The very word Navigation is derived from the Sanskrit word ‘Navgatih’. The word navy is also derived from Sanskrit ‘Nou’.

There were Sanskrit terms for many parts of a ship. The ship’s anchor was known as Nava-Bandhan-Kilaha which literally means ‘a nail to tie up a ship’. The sail was called Vata Vastra, which means ‘wind-cloth’.

Sushruta—Father of Surgery

By the sixth century BC, Sushruta, a surgeon, and Ayurvedic teacher, was thriving in the Indian city of Kashi.

#LongThread

In Kashi, where he worked as a surgeon, Sushruta studied medicine and discovered the causes and cures for various illnesses. He is well known for his novel approaches to rhinoplasty, cataract surgery's extracapsular lens extraction, anal surgery, and dental surgery.

However, little is known about his vivid descriptions of obesity, angina, and diabetes (madhumeha), among other conditions (medoroga).

He studied under Dhanwantari, the revered Lord god of the Indian medical system known as Ayurveda (the science of life). He was revealed to be Visvamitra, a Vedic sage.

He is credited for compiling the Vedic Sanskrit medical text Sushruta Samhita. The eight Ayurvedic medical branches are discussed in the Sushruta Samhita. Six sections and 184 chapters make up the work.

1. #Qanon told us that Saudi Arabia is a central piece of the puzzle in taking out the Deep State...we are watching the Deep State attempt to remove Crown Prince MBS and disrupt Pres Trump's administration's ties with MBS and the "new" Saudi/US coalition. Early in his admin,

2....@Potus sent Jared Kushner (JK) to SA on an undisclosed trip and told King Salman that business as usual was over, and if he wanted Pres Trump's support, Prince Alwaleed would have to be divested of $ and power; Alwaleed is one of top Deep State $ men and was tied to HRC.

3. @Potus knew that before he could begin cleansing the US and the rest of the world of the DS, he would have to cut one of the financial head's off the snake (Alwaleed). After JK met w/ King Salman, Alwaleed was arrested and divested of billions; MBS became leader of SA.

4. SA loves Pres Trump because he's a man of his word; SA could not trust Hussein or Clintons because they use SA for oil and leverage; SA has many factions, but essentially you have the new and upcoming SA that is attempting to modernize through Crown Prince MBS, and then you

5...have the old guard represented by Alwaleed who was one of the Deep State financial heads and loyal to the DS more than SA; SA knew Hussein was financing Iran to hold western world hostage, and SA was caught in middle of Deep State black mail; this is why @Potus was celebrated
