मरून्मत्तैः इण्डियन्-एक्स्प्रॆस्-पत्रिका-कार्यालये कोलाहलम् #२३

Event occured on 2000-01-01 (gregorian).

An article in the Bangalore edition of The New Indian Express on New Years Day so upset the Muslim community in the city that the next day a 1,000-strong mob stormed the newspaper’s building in protest. … But the angry crowd had already burnt down a lorry laden with newsprint for The New Indian Express before that and the news of the incident spread to other parts of the city. Several policemen were injured in violence. - India Today

Context (India Today summary)

The community was venting its anger at an unflattering reference to the Prophet by 13th century Italian poet Dante in the literary work Inferno which was quoted by the daily’s editorial adviser T.J.S. George in his cover essay “The Millennium is Dead . . . Long Live the Millennium” - a diatribe against the West-led Church’s alleged hegemony over the East.

Aftermath (India Today summary)

A 20-member delegation of Muslim scholars led by the Bangalore Jama Masjid imam met the chief reporter of the newspaper and demanded an apology by George and a regret note from the paper, which was frontpaged by the daily the next day.

In the apology titled “Instigated Violence” the newspaper said the protests were organised by disgruntled elements “for reasons other than defence of faith”. “We will continue to respect all religions and their divine personages including Islam and its Prophet. We only hope that the Muslim community will get a better and more enlightened leadership which will work for the community and not their own advancement.” …

While the writer of that story, P.K.N. Namboodiri, had embarked on a pilgrimage to Sabarimala in the midst of the controversy, George, founder editor of the Hong Kong-based Asiaweek magazine, has gone underground.

Event occured on 1679-01-02 (gregorian). Julian date was converted to Gregorian in this reckoning.

Aurangzeb, occupying udayapura, orders the destruction of all 3 temples on the bank of Maharana’s lake, Udaipur. Siyah Akhbarat-i-Darbar-i-Mu’alla Julus 23, Zilqad 29 / 23rd December 1679.

Excerpts

“Yesterday, Yakka Taz Khan and mimar (architect or mason) Hira brought before the Emperor the tarah (plans or designs) of the temples built on the bank of Rana’s lake and submitted that at a distance of about five kos, there was another lake also. It was ordered by the Emperor that Hasan Ali Khan, Ruhullah Khan, Yakka Taz Khan, Ibadullah Khan and Tahavvara Khan should go and destroy the temples.” “On the 7th Muharram / 29th January 1680, Hasan Ali Khan brought to the Emperor twenty camel-loads of tents and other things captured from the Rana’s palace and reported that one hundred and seventy-two (172) other temples in the environs of Udaipur had been destroyed. The Khan received the title of Bahadur ‘Alamgirshahi’."

After the death of Maharaja Jaswant Singh of Jodhpur in the Kabul Subah, he tried to eliminate the Rathors of Marwar as a political power in Rajputana. But Maharana Raj Singh of Mewar, in line with the great traditions of his House, came out in open support of the Rathors.. This led to war with both Mewar and Marwar during which the temples built on the bank of Rana’s lake were destroyed by his orders.

Raj Singh opposed Aurangzeb multiple times, once to save the Kishangarh princess Charumati from the Mughals and once by denouncing the Jizya tax levied by Aurangzeb. Chatrapati Shivaji Maharaj had once taunted Aurangzeb by telling him to ask the Rana of Mewar who is the head of the Hindus for Jizya if he had the guts instead of terrorising unarmed citizens.

The rANa died on 22 October 1680 (aged 51). It is said that the Rana was eventually poisoned by his own men who were bribed by the Mughal emperor Aurangzeb.

Observed on Śukla-Ēkādaśī tithi of Pauṣaḥ (lunar) month (Aparāhṇaḥ/vyaapti). The event occurred in 4625 (Kali era).

Thus having imparted the teachings to me, the insignificant among disciples and guiding me through all aspects relating to the Pīṭha, the preceptor who stayed at the Maṭha for only six years at siddhi in a moment, He merged in the Eternal Bliss, the Supreme Effulgence, devoid of calamities at the dawn of eleventh day of bright fortnight of the Mārgaśīrṣa month in the year Āṅgīrasa at Kañci.

When a tripādanakṣatra is conjoined with a bhadrā tithi i.e. dvitīyā, saptamī or dvādaśī, and this falls on a Tuesday, Sunday or Saturday, it is known as a tripuṣkara-yōgaḥ. When only two of these coincide, it is known as dvipuṣkara. These are specially auspicious times, and are excluded for aparakarmas such as ūnamāsikaśrāddham.

चडैय नायऩ्मार् (६२) गुरुपूजै

Observed on Ārdrā nakshatra of Dhanuḥ (sidereal solar) month (Prātaḥ/paraviddha).

Between the 6th and 9th centuries, in South India, there existed 63 ardent devotees of Lord Shiva, collectively known as the Nayanmars. These devout individuals, hailing from various walks of life including potters, fishermen, farmers, merchants, priests, hunters, and washermen, created devotional songs still sung by followers around the globe. Among these Nayanmars, Appar, Sambandar, and Sundarar, known for their Thevaram hymns, along with Manikkavasagar, are distinguished as the Samayacharyas or the ‘The Four’ (ta:nālvar) revered teachers of the faith. They were instrumental in promoting the Shaiva Siddhanta philosophy and culture, effectively challenging the spread of Jainism and Buddhism. Their teachings centered around the concept that Shiva embodies love, and that embracing love for all beings and existence is essential in connecting with Shiva, the Supreme Being.

In the region of Tirunavalur in Tirumuraipadi, there lived a devout Adi Shaiva named Sadayanar, whose lineage was known for its deep devotion to Lord Shiva. Sadayanar, embodying the same piety and dedication, was married to Isaijnaniyar, a woman equally devoted to the Lord. Their virtuous past actions blessed them with a divine child, who was none other than Sundaramurthi Nayanmar.

The child’s striking beauty caught the attention of Narasinga Munaiyar, the local king, who expressed a desire to raise the child himself. Demonstrating their detachment from worldly attachments, Sadayanar and Isaijnaniyar willingly entrusted their child to the king without hesitation. This couple exemplified the ideal life of householders, focusing on spiritual devotion and ultimately earning the grace of the Divine.

शिण्डे-दत्ताजी-वीरगतिः #२६३

Event occured on 1760-01-10 (gregorian).

10 Jan 1760 will be remembered for the defence of Delhi by an outnumbered Maratha army from the Afghan armies of Ahmed Shah Abdali & Najib Khan Rohilla. Dattaji Scindia laid down his life at Burari ghat Delhi. (Earlier, Ahmad Shah Durrani on his fifth invasion was defeated by the Marathas in the Battle of Lahore (1759).)

Dattaji fought very bravely. At last, he was severely wounded and collapsed on the battleground. Najib Khan Rohilla’s adviser Qutub Shah stepped down from his elephant and came towards Dattaji. He asked Dattaji, ‘क्यों पटेलजी, हमारे साथ तुम और भी लढेंगे?’ Dattaji was in a wounded state. But after hearing these words of Qutub Shah, he replied with pride, ‘हाँ, बचेंगे तो और भी लढेंगे।’ At this Qutb Shah beheaded him. (In vengence, in October 1760, Qutub Shah’s severed head would be paraded.)

The tale of how Dattaji, Jayaji Scindia, Malharrao Holkar came close to renovating Kashi temple but then failed is interesting. The trio sent a msg to Kashi Pandits in 1750 that they were coming to renovate the temple. However, the Pandits refused due to Muslim fear

वेलु-तम्ब्य्-उद्घोषणम् #२१७

Event occured on 1806-01-11 (gregorian).

Kundara Proclamation by Velu Thambi Dalawa, the Prime Minister/Diwan (Dalava) to King Balarama Varma of Travancore. It was an open call to arms, exhorting the common people to rise up against the British and to overthrow them. It said that he acted against british since he anticipated dishonour of Brahmin women, non observance of varnashrama, christian interference in temples & other adharma by british.

There was a massive response to his rallying call.

Context

The Treaty signed with the British East India Company by the popular Maharajah Dharma Raja Rama Varma in 1795 was revised in what is known as the Treaty of 1805 (according to the English East India Company’s policy of “Subordinate Isolation”) after the insurrection of the Nair troops in Travancore. It increased the British Indian force stationed in Travancore and the amount of money to be paid as tribute to the British, though the expenditure of the State in maintaining its own standing army was drastically cut.

In spite of being fully aware of the financial crisis in Travancore, the Resident Col. Macaulay pressed Velu Thampi for immediate payment of the large amount of tribute and the expenses of putting down the mutiny of the Nair troops. The Maharajah meanwhile wrote to the Madras government for the recall of the Resident and appointment of a new Resident which was denied. The Dalawa was now disillusioned with the British whom he had considered a friend and who considered any “aggression on Travancore as an aggression on themselves” as per the previous treaties. The Dalawa also felt that the British were influencing the king to dismiss him.

In the neighbouring Kingdom of Cochin, Paliyath Govindan Achan, the powerful Dalawa of Cochin, was involved in feuds and had turned against the British.

Velu Thampi Dalawa and the Paliath Achan, Govindan Menon, met and decided on the extirpation of the British Resident and end of British supremacy in their respective states. Dalawa Velu Thampi organised recruits, strengthened forts and stored up ammunition while similar preparations was made by the Paliath Achan in Cochin.

Aftermath

An insurrection followed, but was the British and allies won.
The Dalawa had to commit suicide on exile later at Mannadi near Adoor.
His statue is placed in front of Kerala Government Secretariat, Thiruvananthapuram.

सूर्यसेनो हतः #८९

Event occured on 1934-01-12 (gregorian).

Masterda Surya Sen (along with colleague Tarakeswar Dastidar) was killed by British (after severe torture) on this day. He led a group of revolutionaries on 18 April 1930 to raid the armoury of police and auxiliary forces from the Chittagong armoury - sadly that had failed.

While hiding, Netra Sen informed the British of his hiding place, and the police came and captured him in February 1933. Before Netra Sen could be rewarded by the British, a revolutionary came into his house and beheaded him with da (a long knife). As Netra Sen’s wife was a big supporter of Surya Sen, she never disclosed the name of the revolutionary who killed Netra Sen.

शम्भुराजो गोवाया निर्याति #३३९

Event occured on 1684-01-12 (gregorian). Julian date was converted to Gregorian in this reckoning.

When Sambhaji learnt of Muazzam’s arrival to Ramghat, he withdrew all his forces to Raigad on 2 January 1684.

Context: After having laying waste to the outer districts of Salcete and Bardez the Marathas and had started closing in to the Islands of Goa. The viceroy was concerned that if the things remain unchanged, Sambhaji would soon lay siege to the island of Goa. During this time, Muzzam was pillaging through the Maratha territory, as he made his approach towards Sambhaji.

Local corpse-cultists believe that the viceroy went to the body of St. Francis Xavier, in the Bom Jesus church in the City of Goa, and placed his scepter on the dead saint’s hand and prayed for his grace to avert the Maratha threat. This led to an annual Goan celebration by them.

His letter:

  • I dedicate my life as a small contribution to my motherland. I am alone responsible for this.
  • The mlechas of England having captured our country, tread over the sanathana dharma of the Hindus and destroy them. Every Indian is trying to drive out the English and get swarajyam and restore sanathana dharma. Our Raman, Sivaji, Krishnan, Guru Govindan, Arjuna ruled our land protecting all dharmas, but in this land, they are making arrangements to crown George V, a mlecha, and one who eats the flesh of cows.
  • Three thousand Madrasees have taken a vow to kill George V as soon as he lands in our country. In order to make others know our intention, I who am the least in the company, have done this deed this day. This is what everyone in Hindustan should consider it as his duty.
  • I will kill Ashe, whose arrival here is to celebrate the crowning of cow-eater King George V in this glorious land which was once ruled by great samrats. This I do to make them understand the fate of those who cherish the thought of enslaving this sacred land.
  • I, as the least of them, wish to warn George by killing Ashe.

चिल्लन्वाला-युद्धम् #१७४

Event occured on 1849-01-13 (gregorian).

East India Company British troops clashed with rAjA sher-singh attari-valla in Chillianwala near river jhelum in panjAb.

Aftermath: The British were shocked and stopped. The loss of British prestige at Chillianwala was one of the factors which contributed to the Indian rebellion of 1857 some nine years later. Hindu poet Prakashanth Das wrote: “हाल ही में मैंने रंग-बिरंगे कपड़े पहने हजारों सैनिकों को क्षितिज में बिना म्यान के तलवारें लहराते हुए देखा। हनुमान का एक लाल झंडा उठा और झाँसी की सेना रो पड़ी और चिल्लाई “चिल्लनवाला याद करो।” This even influenced the Namdhari Revolt of 1871 and Ram Kuka many times talked about the Battle of Chillianwala.

It was said: ‘The Sikhs fought like devils, fierce and untamed… Such a mass of men I never set eyes on and a plucky as lions: they ran right on the bayonets and struck their assailants when they were transfixed.’ Major Amin said: ‘The Battle of Chillianwala fought on 13 January 1849 is, however, one odd exception and stands out as a battle in which the British failed to defeat their opponents despite having the advantages of weight of numbers (sic), ideal weather and terrain, superior logistics etc’. Gough was criticised for his handling of the battle, was relieved of command and superseded by General Charles James Napier.

इयऱ्पगै नायऩ्मार् (३) गुरुपूजै

Observed on Uttaraphalgunī nakshatra of Dhanuḥ (sidereal solar) month (Prātaḥ/paraviddha).

Between the 6th and 9th centuries, in South India, there existed 63 ardent devotees of Lord Shiva, collectively known as the Nayanmars. These devout individuals, hailing from various walks of life including potters, fishermen, farmers, merchants, priests, hunters, and washermen, created devotional songs still sung by followers around the globe. Among these Nayanmars, Appar, Sambandar, and Sundarar, known for their Thevaram hymns, along with Manikkavasagar, are distinguished as the Samayacharyas or the ‘The Four’ (ta:nālvar) revered teachers of the faith. They were instrumental in promoting the Shaiva Siddhanta philosophy and culture, effectively challenging the spread of Jainism and Buddhism. Their teachings centered around the concept that Shiva embodies love, and that embracing love for all beings and existence is essential in connecting with Shiva, the Supreme Being.

The 3rd of the Nayanmars was Iyarpagai Nayanmar, a Vaishya and native of Kaveripoompattinam, renowned for his extraordinary charity, particularly towards devotees of Lord Shiva. He had vowed never to refuse a request from a Shiva Bhakta. His devotion caught the attention of Lord Shiva, who decided to test him. Disguised as a Brahmin, Lord Shiva visited Nayanmar’s home and, after being warmly welcomed, asked for Nayanmar’s wife as a gift. Nayanmar, without hesitation or doubt, agreed to this unusual request, showcasing his unwavering devotion and belief in serving devotees.

Nayanmar’s wife, following her husband’s decision and considering him as her god and law, consented to go with the Brahmin. As they left the town, Nayanmar accompanied them, armed for their protection. When Nayanmar’s in-laws learned of this event, they furiously confronted them, ready to fight to death rather than face the shame. Nayanmar, in his commitment to fulfill the Brahmin’s wish, fought and killed his wife’s relatives.

After reaching the temple of Tiruchaikadu, the Brahmin asked Nayanmar to leave. As Nayanmar started to return home, he was called back by the Brahmin, only to find his wife alone and the Brahmin gone. At that moment, Lord Shiva and Mother Parvathy appeared, praising the couple’s supreme devotion. They blessed Nayanmar and his wife with a place in their divine abode. Nayanmar’s relatives (who earlier died at his hands) also attained the lotus feet of Lord Shiva. This story illustrates the depth of unquestioning devotion and its alignment with Dharma, as well as the divine grace bestowed upon true devotees.

द्विपुष्कर-योगः
  • 18:12→19:23

When a tripādanakṣatra is conjoined with a bhadrā tithi i.e. dvitīyā, saptamī or dvādaśī, and this falls on a Tuesday, Sunday or Saturday, it is known as a tripuṣkara-yōgaḥ. The dvipuṣkara occurs when the bhadrā tithis coincide with the same days as above, but with the dvipāda nakṣatras, which are mr̥gaśīrṣa, chitrā and dhaniṣṭhā. Like the tripuṣkara which gives a three-fold multiplier for śubha and aśubha, the dvipuṣkara has a two-fold effect.

त्रिपुष्कराख्योऽदितिवह्निविश्वद्वीशाजपादर्यमभेषु योगः।

पानीयपथे पराजितिर् हिन्दुकानाम् #२६२

Event occured on 1761-01-14 (gregorian).

Sad anniversary of 3rd battle of pAnIpat where ahmed shAh abdAli defeated the starving, outmaneouvred, civilian heavy Maratha forces under the 31 yr old sadAshivarAv bhAu with the bold 19 year old vishvAs rAv, with cataclysmic effects accross India (including the loss of star generals and rise of Hyder ali).

Overview

Tactically - Durrani had both numeric as well as qualitative superiority over Marathas.

Strategically - Sadashivrao (unlike Malharrao Holkar or Raghunathrao) was totally ignorant of the political and military situation in North India. Ahmad Shah’s superiority in pitched battle could have been negated if the Marathas had conducted their traditional ganimi kava, or guerrilla warfare, as advised by Malharrao Holkar, in Punjab and in north India.

Context

In a series of strenuous tactical moves, Abdali and bhau tried to outmaneouvre and trap each other. Abdali succeeded upon crossing yamunA and trapping the marATha-s at pAnIpat. Facing a potential stalemate, Abdali decided to seek terms, which Bhau was willing to consider. However, Najib Khan delayed any chance of an agreement with an appeal on religious grounds and sowed doubt about whether the Marathas would honour any agreement.

Unable to continue without supplies, Bhau decided to break the siege. His plan was to pulverise the enemy formations with cannon fire and not to employ his cavalry until the Afghans were thoroughly softened up. With the Afghans broken, he would move camp in a defensive formation towards Delhi, where they were assured supplies.

Battle

The Marathas left their camp before dawn and marched south towards the Afghan camp in a desperate attempt to break the siege. The two armies came face-to-face around 8:00 a.m. Bhau, with the Peshwa’s son and the royal guard (Huzurat), was in the centre.

  • Left wing: Gardis under Ibrahim Khan.

  • Holkar and Sindhia were on the extreme right.

  • The Maratha line was formed up some 12 km across, with the artillery in front, protected by infantry, pikemen, musketeers and bowmen.

  • The cavalry was instructed to wait behind the artillery and bayonet-wielding musketeers.

  • Behind this line was another ring of 30,000 young Maratha soldiers who were not battle-tested, and then the civilians.

  • Maratha troops broke their fast with sugared water.

  • Maratha left flank under Ibrahim Khan, who advanced his infantry in formation, attacked.

  • First Afghan attack by Najib Khan’s Rohillas was broken by Maratha bowmen and pikemen, along with a unit of the famed Gardi musketeers. The second and subsequent salvos were fired at point-blank range into the Afghan ranks. 8,000 Gardi musketeers killed about 12,000 Rohillas.

  • Bhau himself led the charge against the left-of-center Afghan forces, under the Afghan Vizier Shah Wali Khan. Afghan soldiers started to desert their positions in the confusion. Shah Wali appealed to Shuja ud Daulah in vain. But, incomplete success - many of the half-starved Maratha mounts were exhausted, no heavy armoured cavalry units for the Marathas to maintain these openings. Abdali deployed his Nascibchi musketeers to gun down the deserters who finally stopped and returned to the field.

  • The Marathas, under Scindia, attacked Najib. Najib successfully defended.

  • By noon it looked as though Bhau would clinch victory at center. Ahmad Shah had watched the fortunes of the battle from his tent, guarded by the still unbroken forces on his left. He sent his bodyguards to call up his 15,000 reserve troops from his camp and arranged them as a column in front of his cavalry of musketeers (Qizilbash) and 2,000 swivel-mounted shutarnaals or Ushtranaal—cannons. Maratha cavalry was unable to withstand them.

  • Abdali pressed further troops and intensified the attack. With their own men in the firing line, the Maratha artillery could not respond to the shathurnals and the cavalry charge. Some 7,000 Maratha cavalry and infantry were killed before the hand-to-hand fighting began at around 14:00 hrs. By 16:00 hrs, the tired Maratha infantry began to succumb to the onslaught of attacks from fresh Afghan reserves, protected by armoured leather jackets.

  • Sadashiv Rao Bhau who had not kept any reserves, seeing his forward lines dwindling, civilians behind and upon seeing Vishwasrao disappear in the midst of the fighting, felt he had no choice but to come down from his elephant and lead the battle. Taking advantage of this, the Afghan soldiers who had been captured by the Marathas earlier during the Siege of Kunjpura revolted. The prisoners unwrapped their green belts and wore them as turbans to impersonate the troops of the Durrani Empire and began attacking from within. Some Maratha troops in the vanguard panicked and retreated.

  • Bhausaheb had ordered Vitthal Vinchurkar (with 1500 cavalry) and Damaji Gaikwad (with 2500 cavalry) to protect the Gardis. However, after seeing the Gardis having no clearing for directing their cannon fire at the enemy troops, they lost their patience and decided to fight the Rohillas themselves. The Rohilla riflemen mowed them down. Gardis fell next.

  • Vishwasrao had already been killed by a shot to the head. Bhau and the Huzurati royal forces fought till the end.

  • At this stage, the Holkar and Scindia contingents, realising the battle was lost, merged their forces with one contingent breaking from the Maratha right flank and escaped from the opening in the Durrani lines southwards as Jankoji Rao Scindia lead the other contingent to reinforce the thinning lines of Marathas.

Aftermath
  • The Maratha front lines remained largely intact, with some of their artillery units fighting until sunset. Choosing not to launch a night attack, many Maratha troops escaped that night. Bhau’s wife Parvatibai, who was assisting in the administration of the Maratha camp, escaped to Pune with her bodyguard, Janu Bhintada along with Nana Fadnavis under the protection of Malhar Rao Holkar’s contingent. Some 15,000 soldiers managed to reach Gwalior. Ibrahim Khan Gardi was tortured and executed by enraged Afghan soldiers.
  • Jankoji Scindia was taken prisoner and executed at the instigation of Najib.
  • Afghan cavalry and pikemen ran wild through the streets of Panipat, killing tens of thousands of Maratha soldiers and civilians. Afghan officers who had lost their kin in battle were permitted to carry out massacres of Marathas the next day also, in Panipat and the surrounding area. 40,000 Maratha prisoners were slaughtered in cold blood the day after the battle.
  • Some 22,000 women and children were driven off as slaves.
  • Marathas never fully recovered from the loss at Panipat, but they remained the predominant military power.
  • The Jats under Suraj Mal benefited significantly from not participating in the Battle of Panipat. They provided considerable assistance to the Maratha soldiers and civilians who escaped the fighting.
Revenge

By 1771, marATha-s were again in firm control of Red fort.

They rampaged and utterly destroyed the Rohillas. Najib’s corpse was shredded to pieces and tomb demolished. His son Zabita fled his family, converted to Sikhism & passed away in obscurity. His grandson was castrated & made a catamite by the Mughal Badshah (by then a marATha puppet).

Shujah-Ud-Daulah’s army was destroyed by Britishers because of lack of Maratha support & ended up becoming their pawn.

####### Abdali Abdali retreated back to Afghanistan. Had Abdali not fled India, he would have to contend against Maratha army of 100,000 Warriors under Raghunathrao & Peshwa Nanasaheb, 20,000 Gardés under General De Bussy himself, 10,000 Nagpur Bargirs under Senasahebsubah Janojiraje alongwith 15,000 promised Mughal Nizam troopers!

Abdali himself died a brutal death due to his gangrenous maggot-infested nasal infection.

Every year, on Pongal day, there is a unique festival celebrated in the Madurai Meenakshi temple, to commemorate a unique happening, when Abhisheka Pandian ruled over Madurai. Once, the King was desirous of knowing the greatness of a saint in the temple, and requested him to demonstrate his powers by feeding a sugarcane to a stone elephant (sculpture). This festival celebrates this event, where the King was bewildered by the powers of the saint, who eventually blessed the King and soldiers.

When the transit of the Sun (saṅkrānti) happens in the first half of the day (pūrvāhṇa) or after midnight of the previous day, the first half of the day is a puṇyakāla for various observances. In addition to 16 ghatikas on either side of the transition, and specific puṇyakālas like ṣaḍaśīti, viṣṇupadī etc., this is also useful, especially in cases where the other puṇyakālas are inconvenient for appropriate performance of rituals such as snāna, dāna, tarpaṇa, etc.

निर्मलेन केतु-गिरि-जयः #२

Event occured on 2021-01-16 (gregorian).

Nirmal Purja, along with nine other Nepali mountaineers, made history as the first to ascend K2 in the harsh weather conditions of the winter. His team consisting of Mingma David Sherpa, Mingma Tenzi Sherpa, Geljen Sherpa, Pem Chiri Sherpa, Dawa Temba Sherpa and himself, joined by the team of Mingma Gyalje Sherpa (Mingma G), Dawa Tenjin Sherpa and Kilu Pemba Sherpa, and Sona Sherpa from Seven Summits Treks and successfully ascended K2 at 16:58 local time in Pakistan. Purja was the only team member to summit without the use of supplemental oxygen, becoming the first individual to do so.

This is the first successful K2 winter expedition after numerous attempts since 1987. After terrible weather conditions hit the lower camps at the foot of K2 and some equipment was lost, Nepali mountaineers of these three teams decided to join efforts and climb the peak together, as a team.

शिवराजस्य प्रथमं सूरत-लुण्ठनम् #३६०

Event occured on 1663-01-16 (gregorian). Julian date was converted to Gregorian in this reckoning.

Even as mogol forces were wasting time trying to capture siMhagaD, shivAjI rapidly advanced to sUrat and surprised everyone. The Governor hid in his castle and sent an emissary who tried to murder shivAjI with his dagger - his hand was cut off by an alert guard, spilling blood on shivAjI. Some marATha-s were upset and cried to kill the prisoners - but shivAjI stopped them in time (as related by English witnesses). After a good sack, the rAjA retreated on 9th. The Dutch Iversen remarked that it was as if shivAjI was fulfilling his dream of pulling Awrangzeb’s beard.

तिरुनीलकण्ठ नायऩ्मार् (२) गुरुपूजै

Observed on Viśākhā nakshatra of Makaraḥ (sidereal solar) month (Prātaḥ/paraviddha).

Between the 6th and 9th centuries, in South India, there existed 63 ardent devotees of Lord Shiva, collectively known as the Nayanmars. These devout individuals, hailing from various walks of life including potters, fishermen, farmers, merchants, priests, hunters, and washermen, created devotional songs still sung by followers around the globe. Among these Nayanmars, Appar, Sambandar, and Sundarar, known for their Thevaram hymns, along with Manikkavasagar, are distinguished as the Samayacharyas or the ‘The Four’ (ta:nālvar) revered teachers of the faith. They were instrumental in promoting the Shaiva Siddhanta philosophy and culture, effectively challenging the spread of Jainism and Buddhism. Their teachings centered around the concept that Shiva embodies love, and that embracing love for all beings and existence is essential in connecting with Shiva, the Supreme Being.

The 2nd of these Nayanmars was ta:tirunīlakaṇṭha_nāyanmār, a dedicated devotee of Lord Shiva who lived in Chidambaram, and was a potter by profession. He revered Lord Shiva’s devotees and often gifted them with clay begging bowls he crafted, finding great joy in this service.

Tiru Neelakanta Nayanmar worshipped Lord Shiva in his form as Neelakanta, drawing inspiration from the deity’s act of consuming poison to protect the world. He believed fervently that those who sought refuge in Lord Shiva would be absolved of their sins and attain His divine abode.

Despite his virtuous life, Neelakanta once succumbed to lust and visited a prostitute. His pious wife discerned this but chose to serve him as usual, resolving privately to abstain from sexual relations with him. When Neelakanta approached her passionately, she swore by Lord Neelakanta and inadvertently used “us” instead of “me.” Taking her words to heart and their vow to Lord Shiva, Neelakanta decided never to touch any woman again, a testament to his deep devotion.

The couple lived on, keeping their vow secret. As they aged, Lord Shiva chose to unveil Neelakanta’s spiritual greatness. Disguised as a Shiva Yogi, Lord Shiva entrusted Neelakanta with a special bowl, claiming it could purify anything it touched. Later, when Lord Shiva returned for the bowl, he miraculously made it disappear, leading Neelakanta to admit its loss. Accused of theft and unable to touch his wife due to their vow, the situation escalated to a court hearing.

At the court, Neelakanta revealed their secret of celibacy. As they held the ends of a stick and immersed themselves in a tank, a miracle occurred. They emerged youthful and radiant. Lord Shiva and Mother Parvathy then appeared, declaring that due to their self-control and devotion, Neelakanta and his wife would live eternally youthful in the divine abode. This story showcases the power of devotion, celibacy, and the unassuming nature of true virtue.

When anūrādhā nakshatra falls on a Wednesday, it is a special yōgaḥ for performing dānam. One can do dānaṁ of dadhyōdanam in Vishnu temples on this day. When Rohini nakshatra falls on a Saturday, it is a special yōgaḥ. In the cyclic rotation of time, along with the bad combinations of grahas and nakshatras that indicate the probability of upcoming difficulties, good combinations that grant benefits in multiples also arise. Among such good combinations are the Amrita Siddhi yogas of certain weekdays and nakshatras. They are Sunday-Hasta, Monday-Mrigashirsha, Tuesday-Ashvini, Wednesday-Anuradha, Thursday-Pushya, Friday-Revati, Saturday-Rohini. Good deeds performed on such yogas become especially strong in protecting and nourishing us. For instance, in Devi Atharvashirsha, it is said bhaumāśvinyāṁ mahādevī-sannidhau japtvā mahāmr̥tyuṁ tarati, that is, one can cross even mahāmr̥tyu by doing parayanam when Tuesday and Ashvini join.

काश्मीर-पण्डित-निष्कासनम् #३३

Event occured on 1990-01-19 (gregorian).

This day marks paNDit exodus day. Merits reflection by people of all religions.

Ethnic cleansing of Kashmir’s Hindus began. Didn’t stop until 300k–600k were chased, killed and their properties looted or destroyed by their “peaceful” neighbours & even friends. Many Kashmiri Hindu women were kidnapped, gang-raped and murdered (eg. by beating, cutting with a saw), throughout the time of exodus.

Context

It was preceded by slaughter of 300 Hindu men and women, nearly all of them Kashmiri Pandits since the brutal murder of Pandit Tika Lal Taploo, newspaper messages (eg Aftab Jan 4) threatening all Hindus to leave, posters threatening kAshmIris to follow Islamic rules, coloring shops green.

Events

At midnight (beginning of 19th), a blackout took place in the Kashmir Valley where electricity was cut except in mosques. Throughout the day, Jammu and Kashmir Liberation Front and Hizbul Mujahideen terrorists used public address systems at mosques to exhort people to defy curfew and take to the streets. Masked men, firing guns, marched about, terrorizing cowering Pandits who, by then, had locked themselves in their homes. Three taped slogans are repeatedly played the whole night from mosques: ‘Kashmir mei agar rehna hai, Allah-O-Akbar kehna hai’ (If you want to stay in Kashmir, you have to say Allah-O-Akbar); ‘Yahan kya chalega, Nizam-e-Mustafa’ (What do we want here? Rule of Shariah); ‘Asi gachchi Pakistan, baTao roas te baTanev san’ (We want Pakistan along with Hindu women but without their men).

Aftermath

####### 1990 killings

  • 19 Jan. Chuni Lal Shala, inspector, had grown a beard and was visiting Sopore with a Muslim Constable. The constable identified him, called two terrorists seeking him back - and then according to one account - joined them beating him to death.
  • On 25 January 1990, Rawalpora shooting incident took place, wherein four Indian Air Force personnel were killed and 10 others were injured.
  • On 2 February 1990, Satish Tikoo murdered near his own house in Habba Kadal, Srinagar.
  • On 12 February 1990, Tej Krishen Razdan was killed by a muslim colleague (shot, kicked, displayed in a mosque).
  • On 13 February 1990, Lassa Kaul, Station Director of Srinagar Doordarshan, was shot dead.
  • 24 Feb - Ashok Kumar Qazi - shot in knuckles; murderers danced around him, pulled his hair out, slapped, spat, urinated, finally finished him and ran away.
  • 27 Feb - Navin saproo. Killers followed with glee the police van with which relatives picked up his body right to the cremation ground.
  • 22 March - PN Kaul - skinned alive.
  • 22 March - BK Ganjoo was hiding in a rice bin. Muslim neighbors called the jihAdis back and ratted him out. While leaving, they shouted, “Let your blood be soaked in the rice and let your children eat it. Ah, what a tasty meal it would be”.
  • 28 April - Bhushan Lal Raina killed. Ignoring his mother’s pleas, with a sharp pointed iron rod, they pierced his skull. They dragged him out and nailed him to a tree after stripping off his clothes. They killed him by inches while he begged to be shot.
  • On 29/30 April 1990, Sarwanand Kaul Premi, an old Kashmiri poet (who kept a rare Quran manuscript in his home shrine as well) made to carry loot from his home. His son accaompanied him. The place in between the eyebrows, where Premi used to apply “Tilak”, was found pierced by an iron and skin peeled off. The entire body bore the marks of cigarette burns. The limbs were found broken and eyes of both father and the son gouged out. They were later hanged and to be doubly sure shot too.
  • May 7, Prof and Ms K. L. Ganjoo - terrorists shot him and threw him into the Jhelum to die. Nephew was given a choice-either to jump into the river to which his uncle had been consigned or watch what they were going to do with his aunt. The boy jumped into the river - and survived (despite not being a swimmer).
  • May 20, Chaman Lal Pandita kidnapped and strangled. Neighbours had promised protection and stopped him from leaving.
  • June 24, Ashwani Kumar Garyali shot, knees broken, left to die. Police refused to send a vehicle to send him to a hospital.
  • On June 25(?), 1990, Girija Tickoo (who’d been persuaded to return to collect her salary). Her neice recounted in 2022: “on her way back, the bus she was traveling from was stopped…. My bua was then thrown into a taxi, with 5 men (one of them being her colleague), who tortured her, raped her, and then brutally murdered her by cutting her alive with a carpenter saw.” (Note: Manual saw, not mechanical saw.)
  • June 26, B. L. Raina and son killed.
  • 31 June - Ramesh Kumar Raina strangled.
  • 6/7 July - Dina Nath Mujoo (Age: 75 years) killed (they’d forced their children to go away).

हकीकतरायहत्या #२९०

Event occured on 1733-01-20 (gregorian). Julian date was converted to Gregorian in this reckoning.

On this day (date merits verification), hakIkat rAi (Haqiqat Rai Bakhmal Puri), about 15 years old, was beheaded by the then punjAbI muslim government of Zakariya Khan. Quasi Abdul Haq, who was responsible for the Fatwa, was also beheaded later on by Sardar Dal Singh and Saradar Mana Singh and shown around the city of Batala.

Background: One day, some of his Muslim classmates ridiculed Hindu goddess Devi Ma. He ultimately responded by ridiculing Fatima, daughter of Prophet Muhammad. The Muslim boys complained to the maulvis. Haqiqat Rai was arrested and sent to Amir Beg, the administrator of Sialkot. Amir said Haqiqat Rai had committed a sin and he can be pardoned only if he accepts Islam as punishment for blasphemy. Haqiqat Rai refused conversion to Islam. Haqiqat Rai’s parents tried to change his mind, but failed. He was then sent to Zakaria Khan, the Governor of Lahore. But Haqiqat Rai did not agree to convert even under further torture. Then he was killed.

Before execution, Hakikat Rai Puri was allowed to take a sacred bath, perform a Gau Daan and listen Gita from a Pandit. He is depicted with a shikhA and a tilak.

The day of his execution used to be marked by a ‘mela’ (fair) on Vasant Panchami day in Lahore, around his ‘samadhi’ (Baway di marrhi), before India’s partition.

  • 12:19→18:00

When the transit of the Sun (saṅkrānti) happens in the second half of the day (aparāhṇa) and before midnight, the second half of the day is a puṇyakāla for various observances. In addition to 16 ghatikas on either side of the transition, and specific puṇyakālas like ṣaḍaśīti, viṣṇupadī etc., this is also useful, especially in cases where the other puṇyakālas are inconvenient for appropriate performance of rituals such as snāna, dāna, tarpaṇa, etc.

जयपुरे महाराष्ट्रकहत्या #२७१

Event occured on 1752-01-21 (gregorian). Julian date was converted to Gregorian in this reckoning.

On this day, marATha soldiers and followers visiting Jaipur were massacred by rAjputs. From midday to midnight, about fifteen hundred men were killed outright, one thousand were wounded, only seventeen returned safely. Most of the wounded had broken their limbs in their attempt to jump from the rampart. Among those who were killed, many were higher officers of Jayappa’s army, about a hundred were Brahmans, many lady servants and there were even small children. This was a landmark event in marAtha-rAjput relations - earlier fraternity and cooperation were lost.

Context: Contrary to advice from peshva-s and the shiNDe minister Ramchandra Baba, malharrAv holkar had interfered in the Jaipur succession dispute, resulting in the suicide of the rightful ruler IshvarI singh and his family in desperation. This had sullied marATha reputation as being greedy and unprincipled. The other claimant, mAdhav singh (supported by marATha-s and some rAjputs) was installed on the throne on 29th December. Jayappa shiNDe arrived on Jan 6th. Maratha demand of one third or at least one fourth of Jaypur territory annoyed the new king and his ministers. He started plotting to destroy the marATha-s by cunning - inviting them for dinner and trying to poison food and water; calling them for talks and closing the gates - but they did not work out. The marAtha-s had come to admire the city and make purchases. But suddenly doors of the rampart were closed and massacre ensued.

Aftermath: Roads were closed to marATha-s, and their messengers were killed. mAdhavsingh pleaded innocence, requested peaceful settlement. marAtha-s had to acquiesce as they did not have sufficient strength to storm the fort. But he was hardly sincere - avoided payment while supplies to marATha-s were cut off.

केल्वा-दुर्ग-जयः #२८४

Event occured on 1739-01-21 (gregorian). Julian date was converted to Gregorian in this reckoning.

Marathas again attacked Kelwa. The Maratha attack was greatly resisted by Portuguese garrison. Marathas burnt a gun-powder depot in the fort, which caused a huge blast, claiming many Portuguese lives.

Context

Marathas found Kelwa fort difficult to conquer initially. Initially Chimaji Appa gave the command of this mission to conquer Kelve to Vitthal Vishwanath & Awaji Kawade. But the Marathas had to retreat due to strong Portuguese counter-attack. After that to conquer Kelwa, Peshwa Bajirao changed the command to Ramchandra Hari Patwardhan. He also had to retreat. This infuriated many Maratha Sardars, & even Peshwa Bajirao. Bajirao ordered Ramchandra to take strict action against the wrongdoers & deserters!

द्विपुष्कर-योगः
  • 03:19→06:39

When a tripādanakṣatra is conjoined with a bhadrā tithi i.e. dvitīyā, saptamī or dvādaśī, and this falls on a Tuesday, Sunday or Saturday, it is known as a tripuṣkara-yōgaḥ. The dvipuṣkara occurs when the bhadrā tithis coincide with the same days as above, but with the dvipāda nakṣatras, which are mr̥gaśīrṣa, chitrā and dhaniṣṭhā. Like the tripuṣkara which gives a three-fold multiplier for śubha and aśubha, the dvipuṣkara has a two-fold effect.

त्रिपुष्कराख्योऽदितिवह्निविश्वद्वीशाजपादर्यमभेषु योगः।

अप्पूदियडिगळ् नायऩ्मार् (२५) गुरुपूजै

Observed on Śatabhiṣak nakshatra of Makaraḥ (sidereal solar) month (Prātaḥ/paraviddha).

Between the 6th and 9th centuries, in South India, there existed 63 ardent devotees of Lord Shiva, collectively known as the Nayanmars. These devout individuals, hailing from various walks of life including potters, fishermen, farmers, merchants, priests, hunters, and washermen, created devotional songs still sung by followers around the globe. Among these Nayanmars, Appar, Sambandar, and Sundarar, known for their Thevaram hymns, along with Manikkavasagar, are distinguished as the Samayacharyas or the ‘The Four’ (ta:nālvar) revered teachers of the faith. They were instrumental in promoting the Shaiva Siddhanta philosophy and culture, effectively challenging the spread of Jainism and Buddhism. Their teachings centered around the concept that Shiva embodies love, and that embracing love for all beings and existence is essential in connecting with Shiva, the Supreme Being.

Appudi Nayanmar, the 25th of the Nayanmars, was a devout Shiva worshipper from a Brahmana family in Thingalur, Chola kingdom. He lived the life of an ideal householder and had heard of the glories of Tirunavukkarasar (Appar). Although never meeting him, Appudi worshipped Appar as his Guru, believing Lord Shiva manifested as the Guru to guide seekers. He named everything after Appar – children, water sheds for pilgrims, and even household items — to constantly remember and experience his Guru’s grace.

Appar himself, unaware of Appudi’s devotion, stumbled upon one of the water-sheds named after him during his travels. Curious, he visited Appudi, asking him as to why he named the shed after some person rather than himself. Not recognizing Appar, Appudiyadigal indignant at this question, passionately defended the name’s significance, recounting the the spiritual triumphs and miracles of Thirunavukkarasu Swamigal! Appar, a true and humble bhakta, then revealed his identity, merely recounting himself as a humble soul who sought Shiva’s feet owing to a colic disease, and returned to Shavism, having been cured by the Lord. Overjoyed at this revelation, Appudi invited Appar to have a meal. Tragedy struck when Appudi’s son, sent to fetch a banana leaf for Appar’s meal, died from a snake bite. Determined not to disrupt the service to Appar, Appudi concealed the child’s corpse.

Upon learning of the boy’s demise, Appar, deeply affected, instructed the body be placed in front of the temple. He then sang a hymn, miraculously reviving the boy. The parents, in their unshakeable devotion, regretted only the delay this incident caused in Appar’s meal. Appar blessed the family, stayed with them for a while, and Appudi’s profound devotion to his Guru earned him divine grace.

वनधाम-हत्या #२५

Event occured on 1998-01-25 (gregorian).

In an attack (allegedly by Abdul Hamid Gada of Hizbul Mujahideen = ‘Party of Holy Fighters’), timed to coincide with the Shab-e-Qadar, the holiest night of Ramadan, 26 Kashmiri Hindus living in the village of Wandhama were slaughtered.

The gunmen came to their house dressed like Indian Army soldiers, had tea with them, waiting for a radio message indicating that all Hindu families in the village had been covered, lined them up and shot them dead.

Aftermath

Politicians expressed “kaDhI nindA”. PM Gujral flew to Kashmir for national winter games at Gulmarg. He inaugurated sports carnival on 28 Jan when smoke & ashes of funeral pyres were still in air.

Gada was subsequently killed in an operation by Indian security forces in 2000.

पूर्णस्वराज्यघोषणम् #९३

Event occured on 1930-01-26 (gregorian).

On this day in 1930, Indians at the 1930 Congress demanded pUrNa-svarAj (rejecting dominion status). This had long been demanded by those such as Bal Gangadhar Tilak, Sri Aurobindo, Bipin Chandra Pal, SC Bose and Bhagat Singh; while MK Gandhi had opposed it. Finally, JL Nehru and MK Gandhi came round to support it; and a pre-approved pledge was declared to the public.

To commemorate this, the republican constipation was adapted on this day 20 years later. A grand military parade is held in Delhi in celebration.

Besides economic complaints, the pledge states two points which remained true long after British left:

  • Culturally, the system of education has torn us from our moorings, and our training has made us hug the very chains that bind us.
  • Spiritually, compulsory disarmament has made us unmanly … has made us think that we cannot look after ourselves … even defend our homes and families from attacks of thieves, robbers, and miscreants.

भृगुरेवती-योगः

When Revati nakshatra falls on a Friday, it is a special yōgaḥ. When Rohini nakshatra falls on a Saturday, it is a special yōgaḥ. In the cyclic rotation of time, along with the bad combinations of grahas and nakshatras that indicate the probability of upcoming difficulties, good combinations that grant benefits in multiples also arise. Among such good combinations are the Amrita Siddhi yogas of certain weekdays and nakshatras. They are Sunday-Hasta, Monday-Mrigashirsha, Tuesday-Ashvini, Wednesday-Anuradha, Thursday-Pushya, Friday-Revati, Saturday-Rohini. Good deeds performed on such yogas become especially strong in protecting and nourishing us. For instance, in Devi Atharvashirsha, it is said bhaumāśvinyāṁ mahādevī-sannidhau japtvā mahāmr̥tyuṁ tarati, that is, one can cross even mahāmr̥tyu by doing parayanam when Tuesday and Ashvini join.

कलिक्कम्ब नायऩ्मार् (४३) गुरुपूजै

Observed on Rēvatī nakshatra of Makaraḥ (sidereal solar) month (Prātaḥ/paraviddha).

Between the 6th and 9th centuries, in South India, there existed 63 ardent devotees of Lord Shiva, collectively known as the Nayanmars. These devout individuals, hailing from various walks of life including potters, fishermen, farmers, merchants, priests, hunters, and washermen, created devotional songs still sung by followers around the globe. Among these Nayanmars, Appar, Sambandar, and Sundarar, known for their Thevaram hymns, along with Manikkavasagar, are distinguished as the Samayacharyas or the ‘The Four’ (ta:nālvar) revered teachers of the faith. They were instrumental in promoting the Shaiva Siddhanta philosophy and culture, effectively challenging the spread of Jainism and Buddhism. Their teachings centered around the concept that Shiva embodies love, and that embracing love for all beings and existence is essential in connecting with Shiva, the Supreme Being.

The 43rd Nayanmar was a Vaishya, and resided in Pennagadam, a part of the Chola kingdom. He was known for his devout service in the local temple and held a deep reverence for Shiva Bhaktas, seeing the divine presence of Lord Shiva in them. His wife also actively supported him in these spiritual endeavours.

On one occasion, though, a man who had previously been a servant of the Nayanmar visited his house, disguised as a Shiva Bhakta. True to his devotional nature, the Nayanmar warmly welcomed the visitor, offering the traditional respect of washing his feet and venerating him. However, his wife, recognizing the man as their former servant, did not participate in the worship with the same enthusiasm.

Perceiving his wife’s reluctance as a lack of devotion, the Nayanmar, in a drastic and shocking act, severed her hand. He then proceeded to continue his worship of the disguised Bhakta with undeterred focus. Through this extreme form of spiritual practice and dedication, he ultimately achieved union with the divine.

गान्धिमारणम् #७५

Event occured on 1948-01-30 (gregorian).

nAthUrAm goDse (assisted by Narayan Apte) killed MK gAndhi (who DID NOT say “He Ram”) in a stupid move which would set back Hindu interest by decades. Millions of Indians mourned Gandhi’s assassination; the Hindu Mahasabha was vilified and the Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh was temporarily banned.

In Anti-brAhmin riots (mostly by so-called marATha-s taking advantage of the situation),innocent brAhmaNas were killed (on the first day alone, 15 in Bombay and 50 in Pune), thousands of offices and homes were also set on fire. Greatest violence took place in Satara, Kolhapur and Belgaum. The biggest violence took place in the seven Patwardhan (Chitpawan) princely states such as Sangli, where the remarkably advanced factories owned by Chitpawans were largely destroyed. Here, Jains and Lingayats joined the Marathas in the attacks. The events hastened the integration of Patwardhan states (by march 1948) into the Bombay province.

N Godse was later executed on 15 November 1949.

हसन-निज़ामि-रोधः #९५

Event occured on 1928-01-30 (gregorian).

On this day, a bullet from shivarAm rAjaguru stopped Hassan Nizami’s anti-hindu activities (albeit killing an unintended person).

The intended victim

Hassan Nizami (the famous sufi of Chishti order, of Nizamuddin Auliya’s known silsilã) was indulging in frenzied anti-hindu activity - including conversions in Central Provinces. Sita Ram Goel writes:

He published in 1920 a big book, Fãtami Dãwat-i-Islam, in which he advocated all means, fair and foul, by which Hindus were to be converted to Islam. He advised the mullahs to concentrate on Hindu “untouchables”, and convert them en masse so that Muslims could achieve parity of population with the Hindus. He disclosed in the introduction to his book that he had consulted many Muslim leaders including the Agha Khan regarding the soundness of his scheme, and that all of them had agreed with the caution that the scheme should be kept a closely guarded secret. Unfortunately for the Khwaja, the scheme came to the notice of Swami Shraddhananda who exposed it, fought it tooth and nail, and frustrated it completely by means of his Shuddhi Movement.

Even MK Gandhi had objected to his pamphlets (ref. his collected writings). But, Svami shraddhananda was killed by an Islamist.

The attempt

Ganesh Damodar aka Babarao Savarkar had recruited many boys, including rAjaguru to his cause. He had him enrolled in “Amravati Vyaayaam Prasaarak Mandal” which was a gym. This boy was strong by constitution and was an excellent marksman. Archery and shooting were this boy’s natural forte. He was summoned by Babarao and was given the task of “eliminating Hussain Nizami”.

Boy was happy at his first assignment. Since he was trained by likes of savarkar, he did all the necessary recce and info-gathering. Boy went to Delhi, studied routine of Nizam, set a trap and waited. Plan was to shoot nizam while his car passed thru a set point. The boy waited and he shot. Flawlessly! Unfortunately, that day it was Nizam’s father in law (Somali) who was sitting in usual place where nizam sat.

Codename of Rajguru in this operation was “M” - “M” for Maratha. Veer Savarkar had used same pseudonym to write his “Hindutva” year before.

Aftermath

Hassan, although alive, got the message. Conversions stopped in CP.
Though consoled by his colleagues Shiv Verma and Chandrashekhara AzAd, it is reported that he always felt guilty at killing the wrong person.

साम्ब-दशमी (सूर्यपूजा)

Observed on Śukla-Daśamī tithi of Māghaḥ (lunar) month (Sūryōdayaḥ/puurvaviddha).

sāmba, the son of Sri Krishna, was cured of leprosy after performing tapaḥ to propitiate Surya Bhagavan. sāmba was the son of Bhagavan Sri Krishna and Jambavan’s daughter, Jambavati. He was afflicted with leprosy owing to some sins accumulated in previous births. Deeply remorseful, he approached his father, Sri Krishna. Bhagavan pointed out that there was no other recourse to curing this disease other than the upāsana of sūrya bhagavān and narrated the method to propitiate Surya Bhagavan and the story of a chaṇḍāla strī who had gotten cured from disease by Surya Bhagavan. sāmba then propitiated Surya Bhagavan with bhakti. Pleased with his devotion, Surya Bhagavan revealed to him the āryādvādaśakam stuti (http://stotrasamhita.net/wiki/Dwadasharya_Surya_Stuti). Performing pārāyaṇam of this stuti, sambā was cured of this debilitating disease.

ஜகத்குருவான பகவான் ஶ்ரீக்ருஷணருக்கும் ஜாம்பவானது புத்ரியான ஜாம்பவதிக்கும் பிறந்தவர் ஸாம்பன். அவருக்கு ஜன்மாந்தரத்தில் செய்த பாபத்தால் குஷ்டரோகம் பாதித்தது. அதனால் மிகவும் வருந்திய அவர் தந்தையான ஶ்ரீக்ருஷ்ணரையே ஶரணடைந்தார். பகவானும் ஸூர்ய-உபாஸனையைத் தவிர இதற்கு வேறு உபாயமில்லை என்று கூறி ஸூர்யனை உபாஸிக்கும் முறைகளை உபதேஶித்து ஸூர்யபகவானால் நோயிலிருந்து குணமடைந்த சண்டாள ஸ்த்ரீயின் வ்ருத்தாந்தத்தையும் கூறினார். பிறகு ஸாம்பன் பக்தியுடன் ஸூர்யபகாவானை உபாஸித்தார். இதனால் மகிழ்ந்த ஸூர்ய பகவான் ஸாம்பனுக்கு “ஆர்யாத்வாதஶகம்” (http://stotrasamhita.net/wiki/Dwadasharya_Surya_Stuti) என்ற இந்த ஸ்துதியை அருளினார். அதை பாராயணம் செய்து மஹாரோகமான குஷ்டரோகத்திலிருந்து குணமடைந்தார்.

कण्णप्प नायऩ्मार् (१०) गुरुपूजै

Observed on Mr̥gaśīrṣam nakshatra of Makaraḥ (sidereal solar) month (Prātaḥ/paraviddha).

Between the 6th and 9th centuries, in South India, there existed 63 ardent devotees of Lord Shiva, collectively known as the Nayanmars. These devout individuals, hailing from various walks of life including potters, fishermen, farmers, merchants, priests, hunters, and washermen, created devotional songs still sung by followers around the globe. Among these Nayanmars, Appar, Sambandar, and Sundarar, known for their Thevaram hymns, along with Manikkavasagar, are distinguished as the Samayacharyas or the ‘The Four’ (ta:nālvar) revered teachers of the faith. They were instrumental in promoting the Shaiva Siddhanta philosophy and culture, effectively challenging the spread of Jainism and Buddhism. Their teachings centered around the concept that Shiva embodies love, and that embracing love for all beings and existence is essential in connecting with Shiva, the Supreme Being.

Nagan, a skilled king of hunters from Uduppur in Pottapi Nadu, was a devout follower of Lord Subramanya. He and his wife, Tattai, were blessed with a child named Tinnanar, who was believed to be the reincarnation of Arjuna. Tinnanar, raised as a hunter, excelled in archery and succeeded his father as the king at a young age. Despite his occupation, he practiced non-violence towards young ones, females, diseased animals, etc. and spiritually, he had already eliminated inner vices like lust, anger, greed, vanity, jealousy, etc.

One day, Tinnanar chased a pig that had escaped its net, leading to an intense pursuit that ended with Tinnanar killing the pig. Exhausted and thirsty, he and his companions sought water and rest. Tinnanar experienced a profound spiritual transformation as he climbed a nearby hill, losing his body consciousness and feeling an overwhelming love for Lord Shiva. On the hill, he found a temple dedicated to Lord Shiva and was moved to tears, feeling a deep connection with the deity.

Tinnanar’s devotion led him to bring food to the temple daily, offering the best pieces of meat after tasting them himself. His actions disturbed his friends and family, who thought he had gone mad. One day, the temple’s priest, Shivagochariar, was horrified to find the temple desecrated by Tinnanar’s unconventional worship, which included water from his mouth for ‘Abhishekam’, and decoration of the Lingam with flowers worn on his head!

Despite Shivagochariar’s efforts to purify the temple and conduct traditional worship, Tinnanar continued his practices, standing guard at the temple entrance after each of his rituals.

Shivagochariar prayed for intervention, and Lord Shiva appeared in his dream and instructed him to witness Tinnanar’s actions. On the sixth day, while at his usual quest to gather food for Lord Shiva, Tinnanar encountered ominous signs. In his selfless devotion, Tinnanar was more concerned for the deity than for himself and these signs sparked a fear that something untoward had befallen the Lord! Upon reaching the temple, he was devastated to find blood flowing from the deity’s right eye. In his grief, he dropped all the worship items and tried to treat the deity’s eye with herbs, but the bleeding persisted. Driven by a thought of equivalent sacrifice — ‘flesh for flesh’ — he removed his own right eye with an arrow and placed it on the deity, and the bleeding miraculously stopped. Overwhelmed with joy and dancing in ecstasy, he now noticed the deity’s left eye bleeding. He was clear on how to stop this bleeding — but how would he place the second eye having lost his vision? He planted his foot over the deity’s left eye on the Lingam to guide himself! Just as he was about to extract his left eye, Lord Shiva intervened, grasping his hand and affectionately addressing him as Kannappa (thrice), thus transforming Tinnanar into Kannappar. The Lord held him close, restoring his vision and granting him a divine status. Shivagochariar, the temple priest, witnessed this act of supreme devotion and understood its true nature.

The story also carries a deeper, symbolic meaning. Tinnanar’s journey represents the spiritual conquest over inner evils, including ego (symbolized by the wild pig). Accompanied by representations of good and evil (Nanan and Kadan), Tinnanar’s pursuit of the pig signifies the battle with one’s own vices and the embrace of positive samskaras (impressions). The culmination of his journey, where he chooses to worship the Lord alone, symbolizes the ultimate renunciation of even good tendencies for pure, unadulterated devotion. Tinnanar’s willingness to sacrifice his own eyes for the deity epitomizes complete self-surrender, the pinnacle of devotion that leads to divine revelation and realization.

Observed on Ārdrā nakshatra of Makaraḥ (sidereal solar) month (Prātaḥ/paraviddha).

Between the 6th and 9th centuries, in South India, there existed 63 ardent devotees of Lord Shiva, collectively known as the Nayanmars. These devout individuals, hailing from various walks of life including potters, fishermen, farmers, merchants, priests, hunters, and washermen, created devotional songs still sung by followers around the globe. Among these Nayanmars, Appar, Sambandar, and Sundarar, known for their Thevaram hymns, along with Manikkavasagar, are distinguished as the Samayacharyas or the ‘The Four’ (ta:nālvar) revered teachers of the faith. They were instrumental in promoting the Shaiva Siddhanta philosophy and culture, effectively challenging the spread of Jainism and Buddhism. Their teachings centered around the concept that Shiva embodies love, and that embracing love for all beings and existence is essential in connecting with Shiva, the Supreme Being.

In Kannamangalam, a part of the Chola kingdom, there was a wealthy Vellala named Thayanar who exemplified the ideal householder life, as praised by the Nayanmar Tiruvalluvar. Thayanar was a devoted follower of Lord Shiva, expressing his devotion through a daily ritual of offering food made of red rice, a red herb sauce, and mango pickle to the deity. This humble offering was a symbol of his deep faith.

However, Thayanar’s faith was to be tested by Lord Shiva. Suddenly, he found himself in poverty, and despite this, he continued his ritual by working and earning red rice as wages. He maintained his devotion by consuming inferior khar rice, reserving the red rice solely for the deity. Further testing Thayanar’s devotion, all fields in the area began to produce only red rice, but Thayanar refrained from consuming it, instead eating green leaves from his garden. When even these leaves withered away, Thayanar subsisted on water alone, his focus unwavering from his worship.

One day, while weak and emaciated, Thayanar fell while carrying his offering to Lord Shiva, spilling it on the ground. Distraught, he believed he had committed a grave sin and begged for the Lord’s forgiveness, threatening to end his own life with a sickle if the Lord did not accept his spilled offering. This extreme act of devotion touched Lord Shiva, who intervened just as Thayanar was about to harm himself. Thayanar heard the sound of the deity eating the mango pickle, realizing the divine play at hand. Lord Shiva and Mother Parvathi then appeared before him, commending his extraordinary devotion and promising him and his wife a place in the divine abode.

माघ-मास-अन्तिमत्रयतिथि-व्रत-आरम्भः

Observed on Śukla-Trayōdaśī tithi of Māghaḥ (lunar) month (Sūryōdayaḥ/puurvaviddha).

Last three days of māgha-māsaḥ are especially sacred. By means of baths in Māgha, calamities perish. By means of baths in Māgha sins perish. Māgha is superior to all sacrifices, and gives the fruit of (all kinds of) charity. Māgha roars (louder) than sacrifices. Māgha roars (louder) than yōga. And O vidyādhara, Māgha roars (louder) than severe penance. The fruit which men obtain by (observing) restraints for ten years at Puṣkara, Kurukṣetra, Brahmāvarta having profuse water, at Avimukta, Prayāga, confluence of Gaṅgā and the ocean, is obtained by bathing for three days in Māgha! There is no doubt! Those, in whose mind there is, for a long time, interest in heaven, should bathe in water anywhere when the Sun is in makara. Those who desire to have qualities like (long) life, (good) health, wealth, handsomeness, good fortune, should not give up bathing in Māgha. So also those who are afraid of hell, of poverty that is heaped, should by all means bathe in the month of Māgha. O best king, for washing off the mud of poverty, sins and bad luck, there is no other remedy than a bath in Māgha. Acts done without faith give small fruits. (But) a bath in Māgha gives the entire fruit. He who, with or without a desire, bathes anywhere outside (his house) in water, does not have sorrows in this or in the next world. As in the two fortnights the Moon waxes and wanes, in the same way in Māgha sins decrease and the heap of religious merit increases. As various gems come up from a mine, so religious merit of men springs up due to a bath in Māgha. As the desire-yielding cow fulfils the desire, or the desire-yielding gem gives the desired object, so a bath in Māgha fulfils all desires in the world. Penance is the best in Kṛtayuga, knowledge in Tretā-yuga, sacrifice in Dvāpara, knowledge (devotion?) in Kaliyuga, and Māgha in all the ages. The bath in Māgha, O king, showers with the streams of merit all the castes and the stages of life. (Translation: https://www.wisdomlib.org/hinduism/book/the-padma-purana/d/doc365704.html)

तारापुर-दुर्ग-जयः #२८४

Event occured on 1739-02-03 (gregorian).

Marathas captured Tarapur fort. Congratulations poured on Chimaji Appa! Khandoji Mankar and other Maratha commanders and unit of artillery fired shots to celebrate the victory! After the fall of Tarapur on 3 Feb 1739 Chimaji Appa immediately sent force of 4000 infantry & 5000 cavalry to capture Asheri under Haripant.

Marathas employed 30 cannons against the fort and made heavy bombardment on the fort resulting in damages to the fortification. But, Portuguese continued their defence. The Marathas, seeing no sign of Portuguese surrender, decided to mine the fort. Baji Bhivrao, Ramchandra Hari, Baloji Chandrao, Malharrao Holkar, Ranoji Shinde, Yashwantrao Pawar were the prominent Maratha Sardars in this action. Finally the mines exploded resulting in destruction of fort & bastion, allowing Marathas to enter the Fort!

Baji Bhivrao Retrekar, a leading Maratha commander of Peshwa Bajirao I led the attack from the front, when a bullet struck in his mouth & he was killed. Baji Bhivrao Retrekar was considered ‘own brother’ by Peshwa Bajirao in a letter. The Portuguese Captain of Tarapore Luiz Veleso Machado also died while fighting. There were many Portuguese women in the fort who were made captive but Chimaji gave them very decent treatment, according to a Portuguese chronicler.

Context: Asheri Fort, another strategically important fort, is in Palghar district (Maharashtra). Asheri was sieged by Maratha Commander Pantaji Moreshwar. But Portuguese held onto the fort because they were gaining enough supplies from Tarapur outpost. Unless Tarapur was captured, Asheri was difficult to capture.

Event occured on 1920-02-04 (gregorian).

The Chauri Chaura incident took place on 4 February 1922 at Chauri Chaura in the Gorakhpur district of the United Province (modern Uttar Pradesh) in British India, when a large group of protesters participating in the Non-cooperation movement, clashed with police who opened fire. In retaliation the demonstrators attacked and set fire to a police station, killing all of its occupants. The incident led to the death of three civilians and 22 policemen.

On Feb 2, agitators led by a retired Army soldier named Bhagwan Ahir, protested against high food prices and liquor sale in the marketplace. They had been arrested.

MK Gandhi, who was strictly against violence, halted the non-co-operation movement on the national level on 12 February 1922, as a direct result of this incident. 19 arrested demonstrators were sentenced to death and 110 to imprisonment for life by the British authorities.

Event occured on 1762-02-05 (gregorian).

In an incident known as vaDDa-gallughAra, 40k durrAni paThAn soldiers (from dawn to early afternoon) killed 10k to 20k sikhs (retreating from Kup Rahira, 12 km north of Malerkotia). Sikhs (5k-10k fighters escorting 40k others, including women, children and elderly) could not resort to their usual hit and run tactics. jassa Singh ahluvAlia and charat singh Sukkarchakkia (grandfather of raNajIt singh) had ordered the men to encircle their retreating non-combatants and protect them as they retreated. Abdali was able to break the protective ring and carry out a massacre of about 20k civilians.

Background: After the victory over marAThas at pAnIpat, the afghans were harrassed by sikhs. At a general assembly (Sarbatt Khalsa) of the Dal at Amritsar convened on the occasion of Divali, 27 October 1761, it was resolved to punish the agents, informers and collaborators of the Afghans, beginning with Aqil Das of Jandiala, head of the Niranjania sect. Aqil Das despatched messengers to Ahmad Shah Durrani. Earlier, Durrani had returned to Amritsar and blew up the Harimandir Sahib. As a deliberate act of sacrilege, the pool around it was filled with cow carcasses.

माघ-मास-अन्तिमत्रयतिथि-व्रत-समापनम्

Observed on Paurṇamāsī tithi of Māghaḥ (lunar) month (Sūryōdayaḥ/puurvaviddha).

Last three days of māgha-māsaḥ are especially sacred. By means of baths in Māgha, calamities perish. By means of baths in Māgha sins perish. Māgha is superior to all sacrifices, and gives the fruit of (all kinds of) charity. Māgha roars (louder) than sacrifices. Māgha roars (louder) than yōga. And O vidyādhara, Māgha roars (louder) than severe penance. The fruit which men obtain by (observing) restraints for ten years at Puṣkara, Kurukṣetra, Brahmāvarta having profuse water, at Avimukta, Prayāga, confluence of Gaṅgā and the ocean, is obtained by bathing for three days in Māgha! There is no doubt! Those, in whose mind there is, for a long time, interest in heaven, should bathe in water anywhere when the Sun is in makara. Those who desire to have qualities like (long) life, (good) health, wealth, handsomeness, good fortune, should not give up bathing in Māgha. So also those who are afraid of hell, of poverty that is heaped, should by all means bathe in the month of Māgha. O best king, for washing off the mud of poverty, sins and bad luck, there is no other remedy than a bath in Māgha. Acts done without faith give small fruits. (But) a bath in Māgha gives the entire fruit. He who, with or without a desire, bathes anywhere outside (his house) in water, does not have sorrows in this or in the next world. As in the two fortnights the Moon waxes and wanes, in the same way in Māgha sins decrease and the heap of religious merit increases. As various gems come up from a mine, so religious merit of men springs up due to a bath in Māgha. As the desire-yielding cow fulfils the desire, or the desire-yielding gem gives the desired object, so a bath in Māgha fulfils all desires in the world. Penance is the best in Kṛtayuga, knowledge in Tretā-yuga, sacrifice in Dvāpara, knowledge (devotion?) in Kaliyuga, and Māgha in all the ages. The bath in Māgha, O king, showers with the streams of merit all the castes and the stages of life. (Translation: https://www.wisdomlib.org/hinduism/book/the-padma-purana/d/doc365704.html)

काञ्ची ५१ जगद्गुरु श्री-विद्यातीर्थेन्द्र सरस्वती आराधना #६३८

Observed on Kr̥ṣṇa-Prathamā tithi of Māghaḥ (lunar) month (Aparāhṇaḥ/vyaapti). The event occurred in 4486 (Kali era).

Sarvajñaviṣṇu (name of Śrī Vidyātīrtha before initiation), son of Śārṅgapāṇi) of Bilvaranya received initiation into asceticism from the sage preceptor Chandraśekhara; remaining in the seat of the master, engrossed in/attached to the worship of Lord Yogeśa and the Goddess who dwells in the Cakrarāja, He was surrounded by the eminent saints—Śrī Mādhava, Bukka and Bhārati tīrtha. He decorated the seat by remaining in Kāṅci only for seventy-three years and after directing eight disciples who shone like the presiding deities of eight quarters to take care of the Pīṭha, He, the steadfast one, resorting to the peaks of Himalayas with the only companion disciple, Śaṅkarānanda, observed severe penance for fifteen years. This preceptor, in the course of penance itself, as the attending disciple was looking at, merged in the Supreme Effulgence of the Sun on the pratipad (first day) of the bright fortnight of the Māgha month in the year Raktākṣī. The disciple too afflicted with grief heavily returned to his Maṭha. In the meantime, the eight disciples too protected the Pīṭha as per the directions; gladdened on seeing the disciple Śaṅkarānanda, they entered into that Maṭha of their preceptor. This preceptor, adored by Śrī Vidyāraṇya, Saccidānanda and others is also known popularly as Vidyānātha, Vidyeśa, Vidyāśaṅkara, Vidyātīrtha and Śaṅkarānandaguru.

Event occured on 1951-02-07 (gregorian).

On this day, Tawang was securely integrated into India by the efforts of Major Khathing, deputed by governor of Assam, Jairamdas Daulatram.

Context

In Jan 1951, then-the governor of Assam, Jairamdas Daulatram summoned Major Khathing and entrusted him with a top-secret mission: ‘To go and integrate Tawang into India’. Major Khathing afterwards transferred on deputation as an assistant political officer, to the Indian Frontier Administrative Service. (to maintain the secrecy of the mission).

Major Khathing put together a team of two companies. After several days of travel, Major Khathing and his team moved to Tawang via the Jang and Sela mountain pass. The forces reached Tawang on the 7th of February, 1951. Major Khathing summoned Tibetan officials for the meeting. They were then given notice that any representatives of the Tibetan government will no longer have jurisdiction over people living south of the Bumla range. In the following days after that, all the officials of the 11 Tibetan Administrative Units were directed not to take any further orders from Tibetan officials. (Tibet was under China’s control by then)

Tibetan officials asked for time to get permission from Lhasa. However, Major Khathing realized the crucial importance of time and rejected the request citing the Simla Treaty of 1914, according to which the area belonged to the GOI. From that day after, 11th of Feb 1951, Tawang became a part of India. Some historians believe that the incident was the initiative of the Assam Governor and PM Nehru was in a blackout for the whole time. Others are of opinion that PM was aware of the incident.

Observed on Uttaraphalgunī nakshatra of Makaraḥ (sidereal solar) month (Prātaḥ/paraviddha).

Between the 6th and 9th centuries, in South India, there existed 63 ardent devotees of Lord Shiva, collectively known as the Nayanmars. These devout individuals, hailing from various walks of life including potters, fishermen, farmers, merchants, priests, hunters, and washermen, created devotional songs still sung by followers around the globe. Among these Nayanmars, Appar, Sambandar, and Sundarar, known for their Thevaram hymns, along with Manikkavasagar, are distinguished as the Samayacharyas or the ‘The Four’ (ta:nālvar) revered teachers of the faith. They were instrumental in promoting the Shaiva Siddhanta philosophy and culture, effectively challenging the spread of Jainism and Buddhism. Their teachings centered around the concept that Shiva embodies love, and that embracing love for all beings and existence is essential in connecting with Shiva, the Supreme Being.

Vichara Sarman, later known as Chandesvara Nayanmar, was a prodigious child from Tiruchaijnanallur, a place renowned for Vedic learning and devotion to Lord Shiva. By the age of five, he had self-learned the Vedas and Agamas due to his past life impressions. After his Upanayanam, he formally studied the Vedas under a Guru and aspired for liberation in this life.

One day, Vichara Sarman witnessed a cowherd beating a cow and intervened, admonishing the cowherd for mistreating the sacred animal. He took over the responsibility of tending the cows himself. Under his care, the cows flourished, and there was an abundance of milk, which he used to perform Abhishekam to a mud-constructed Shiva Lingam under an Atti tree (audumbaravr̥kṣaḥ) by the river.

However, a villager witnessed this and complained to the cow owners that Vichara Sarman was wasting milk on mud and sand. His father, Echhadattan, upon hearing the complaint, secretly observed Vichara Sarman’s ritual. Misinterpreting his son’s devotion, the father attempted to disrupt the ritual, prompting Vichara Sarman to defend the worship by striking his father with a stick, which miraculously turned into an axe and killed his father.

This act was a divine test of Vichara Sarman’s devotion. Lord Shiva, impressed by his unwavering devotion, appeared before him with Goddess Parvathi. Vichara Sarman was transformed into a divine form akin to Lord Shiva and adorned with a garland from the Lord, attaining Saroopya Mukthi (liberation with the attainment of the form of the Lord). The Lord then declared that Vichara Sarman would soon reach Chandikeshvarar’s Abode and be worshipped in the same way he had worshipped the Lord with food, clothes, and flowers. Both Vichara Sarman and his father, purified by this supreme act of devotion, attained the abode of Lord Shiva.

शिण्डे महज्ज्या रक्तदुर्गग्रहणम् #२५२

Event occured on 1771-02-09 (gregorian).

Mahadji Scindia’s sardar Balarao Govind entered the Red fort & took possession from Zabeta Khan’s men, regaining control of Delhi after Panipat 1761.

After 1719, 1737, 1753-57, 1758-1761, the Marathas returned to Delhi and surrounded the city with their cannons on 8 February 1771. Mahadji Scindia, Ramchandra Ganesh, Visaji Krishna were the chiefs who were in the Maratha army. ‘In the morning the Marathas having planted guns on all 4 sides, began to fire on the fort of Delhi…the ASAD BURJ was demolished. At noon negotiations began with Scindia’s diwan..at sunset the little gate of the fort was opened’.- Delhi Chronicle, 1771.

Aftermath

Marathas obtained sanction from the puppet Mughal Badshah himself to pursue and purge the Rohilla Pashtun cream threatening North India. Marathas then began their rampage against Rohilla Pashtuns, cutting down all who were responsible for Panipat. Marathas led by Maharaja Mahadji Shinde drove out Rohillas & slaughtered them. Najib’s tomb was bombarded & his bones were scattered all around.

Najib’s 10 year old grandson Qadir was discovered at Ghausgarh after his father Zabita fled and he was taken by Mughal Nazir Mansur. Gulām Qadir underwent a very gruesome fate. Ghulam Qadir was placed in Qudsia Bagh by Nazir Mansur & then castrated by Shah Alam II who turned Qadir into a catamite & abused him for years! Thus Najib’s grandson literally became a bedmate of the Maratha puppet Shah Alam II!

Years later Ghulam Qadir invaded Delhi in order to get money to use against Marathas and looted over 25 Crores Rupees. He then avenged himself on his pederast Shah Alam II by conducting atrocities on the Mughal family. Marathas then pursued Qadir & tortured him slowly to death.

शम्भुराजो बुर्हानपुरम् आक्रामति #३४२

Event occured on 1681-02-10 (gregorian). Julian date was converted to Gregorian in this reckoning.

Barely 15 days after being crowned in a grand ceremony at Raigad fort, Maratha army commanded by Sambhaji and Hambirrao Mohite attacked and plundered the city for three days. The Marathas got a huge loot (around 2 crore Rs) and returned to Raigad by evading Mughal forces.

Sambhaji had got the news that Bahadurkhan Kokaltash, the Subedar of Burhanpur was going to Aurangabad for his nephew’s wedding with a girl Qutb Shah family. Bahadurkhan took a force 3,000 with him for the wedding. Hence Burhanpur was left with an army of 5,000 under Kakar Khan (in charge of collecting jizya tax). Sambhaji and his generals decided to further bifurcate the force at Burhanpur by feigning a move to attack Surat, forcing the Mughals at Burhanpur to send reinforcement to Surat, which had been sacked by Shivaji twice before.

Hambirrao Mohite reached the forests near Burhanpur with a 15,000 strong cavalry force. Kakar Khan gathered civilian forces and decided to attack Hambirrao at midnight. As he came out of the city gates, Sambhaji himself attacked from the old trenches with a cavalry force of 4,000. Sambhaji’s force routed the ill-prepared Mughal garrison. Sambhaji then left 200-300 soldiers at the main city gate and left for Bahadurpura, the richest suburb of the city. Sambhaji started to loot the houses of the richest merchants which were shown to him by his spies. Hambirrao’s force soon joined Sambhaji and the combined Maratha force started looting the city. Hambirrao then sealed the city’s entrances to ensure that the word of the attack doesn’t spread out. Marathas looted the city consecutively for three days.

Bahadurkhan hurried from Aurangabad with a large army and tried to recover the loot, but he was foiled by sambhAjI’s tactics. Meanwhile, Suryaji Jakhde took advantage of this to briefly attack Aurangabad with a force of 7,000 via Paithan; and bahAdurkhAn had to return anyway. Some of Awrangzeb’s elite Ahadi horsemen (stationed in every mogol city) tried to assassinate sambhAjI when he was visiting Saptashringi temple at vani on his way back - but failed.

####### raghunAtha’s inscription The characters of the inscription are Telugu. But the language is Oriya which is, however, considerably influenced by Sanskrit. There are many errors in the language and orthography of the record. The date, quoted in lines 2-5, is Saturday (Briha-vāsara), Mrigaśira-nakshatra, Magha-śu. 10, in the year Pramathin which is mentioned as corresponding to the Kali year 4861 current (i.e. Kali 4560 expired).

When a tripādanakṣatra is conjoined with a bhadrā tithi i.e. dvitīyā, saptamī or dvādaśī, and this falls on a Tuesday, Sunday or Saturday, it is known as a tripuṣkara-yōgaḥ. When only two of these coincide, it is known as dvipuṣkara. These are specially auspicious times, and are excluded for aparakarmas such as ūnamāsikaśrāddham.

  • 06:35→12:23

When the transit of the Sun (saṅkrānti) happens in the first half of the day (pūrvāhṇa) or after midnight of the previous day, the first half of the day is a puṇyakāla for various observances. In addition to 16 ghatikas on either side of the transition, and specific puṇyakālas like ṣaḍaśīti, viṣṇupadī etc., this is also useful, especially in cases where the other puṇyakālas are inconvenient for appropriate performance of rituals such as snāna, dāna, tarpaṇa, etc.

कोयम्पुत्तूरु-विस्फोटः #२५

Event occured on 1998-02-14 (gregorian).

On this day, Islamist terrorsts belonging to Al Umma, led by S. A. Basha, triggered a well planned serial bombing (12 bomb attacks in 11 places, all within a 12 kilometres (7.5 mi) radius, 13:30–15:40), killing 58-76 people and injuring 200 others.

Events

The explosives used were found to be gelatin sticks activated by timer devices and were concealed in cars, motorcycles, bicycles, sideboxes of two-wheelers, denim and rexin bags, and fruit carts. Several bombs that failed to detonate were defused by bomb disposal squads. 3 human bombs named Amanuallah, Melapalayam Amjath Ali and Rafique alias Shanmugam, were targeting L.K. Advani, but could not penetrate the security cardon.

Context

Coimbatore was religiously polarized. In the period between 1989 and 1997, 42 Hindus had been murdered in Coimbatore region by Islamists. Some were random killing of Hindus to ‘instill fear’ like the killing of five Hindus in one day (02-09-1997) and many were targeted executions of Hindu activists. Resolutely ignoring all IB warnings on 28th January 1997 Badsha and four others were released from Coimbatore jail by DMK regime following its decision to withdraw the TADA cases. Al-Ummah throwed pipe-bombs at director Mani Ratnam’s house as a warning against the films he directed ‘Roja’ and ‘Bombay’. (Source: Swarajya mag article)

1997 Coimbatore riots occurred between 29 November 1997 and 1 December 1997 - started by murder of a police constable allegedly by some Muslim youth over a dispute of detention of Al-Ummah functionaries. 18 Muslims and 2 Hindus had died. Al Ummah had used the videotapes of the deceased during the riots to mobilise sympathy and garner financial support from Muslim countries

Aftermath

People belonging to Al Ummah, Jihad Committee and the Tamil Nadu Muslim Munnetra Kazhagam (TMMK) were arrested in a State-wide crackdown. In Coimbatore district, 326 Hindus and 202 Muslims – were detained as a precautionary measure. During September 2002, Imam Ali and four others, suspected to be involved in the blasts were killed in a police encounter in Bangalore. In 2007, out of the 14 accused, 13 were found guilty of blasts and were convicted - Madani was the only one acquitted. On 17 November 2009, nine members of Al Ummah, convicted in the blasts were released from jail for their good conduct, 16 months short of their full sentence on the occasion of 100th birth anniversary of Arignar Anna, the founder of Dravida Munnetra Kazhagam (DMK).

For days after the explosions, the city of Coimbatore looked like a town deserted; business establishments, shops and roadside stalls remained closed and few people ventured out. Hotels refused admission to guests. The Bharatiya Janata Party candidate C.P. Radhakrishnan won by a record margin of over 1,00,000 votes in the 1998 Lok Sabha elections.

कारि नायऩ्मार् (४८) गुरुपूजै

Observed on Pūrvāṣāḍhā nakshatra of Kumbhaḥ (sidereal solar) month (Prātaḥ/paraviddha).

Between the 6th and 9th centuries, in South India, there existed 63 ardent devotees of Lord Shiva, collectively known as the Nayanmars. These devout individuals, hailing from various walks of life including potters, fishermen, farmers, merchants, priests, hunters, and washermen, created devotional songs still sung by followers around the globe. Among these Nayanmars, Appar, Sambandar, and Sundarar, known for their Thevaram hymns, along with Manikkavasagar, are distinguished as the Samayacharyas or the ‘The Four’ (ta:nālvar) revered teachers of the faith. They were instrumental in promoting the Shaiva Siddhanta philosophy and culture, effectively challenging the spread of Jainism and Buddhism. Their teachings centered around the concept that Shiva embodies love, and that embracing love for all beings and existence is essential in connecting with Shiva, the Supreme Being.

Kari Nayanmar, the 48th of the Nayanmars, hailed from Tirukadavur, and was a learned Tamil scholar. He regularly visited the three Tamil kings, earning a substantial amount of money through his recitations of Tamil Kovais (anthologies). Utilising his earnings, he constructed temples, actively promoting Shaivism. Furthermore, he dedicated himself to serving devotees of Lord Shiva, garnering him the Lord’s divine grace.

मूलादि-हत्या #७३

Event occured on 1950-02-17 (gregorian).

On this day a big massacre of Hindus by Islamist mobs began in the mUlAdi river port in East Pakistan. On the morning of 17th, terrified Hindus and Christians began to rush towards the Muladi police station. The O.C. however refused to provide any shelter. The orgy of loot, murder, rape and arson continued till the evening, when they departed with the loot and the abducted women. The streets, ghats and the river were full of corpses. In the betelnut orchard of one Hindu, more 300 dead bodies were found.

On the morning of 18th, Saturday, many Hindus and Christians returned to their looted, destroyed and gutted houses. In the evening, they once again assembled at the police station. This time they were allowed inside in lieu of their cash and jewellery. In the meantime, the Ansars went all around Muladi announcing in loudspeakers asking the Hindus to assemble at the Muladi police station. After the Hindus and Christians had gathered hundreds of non-Muslim men were massacred within the precincts of the police station. The O.C. himself stripped the Hindu women of their vermillion and conch shell bangles and forced them to recite the kalma. Later he distributed the women among the gang leaders.

On the morning of 20 February, the Officer in Charge announced that a relief camp has been opened in the port area. He seized all the money and the jewellery from the Hindus gathered at the police station and directed them towards the port. At around 12 noon, at the signal of the O.C. a 3,000 strong armed Muslim mob attacked the warehouses. More than 700 men and elderly women were massacred and their bodies thrown into the river. The remaining women were taken into a shed belonging to one Mukteshwar Saha and forced to recite the kalma. After that 50 women were distributed among the gang leaders.

When the transit of the Sun (saṅkrānti) happens in the second half of the day (aparāhṇa) and before midnight, the second half of the day is a puṇyakāla for various observances. In addition to 16 ghatikas on either side of the transition, and specific puṇyakālas like ṣaḍaśīti, viṣṇupadī etc., this is also useful, especially in cases where the other puṇyakālas are inconvenient for appropriate performance of rituals such as snāna, dāna, tarpaṇa, etc.

बोधायन-कात्यायन-माघ-अमावास्या
चिप्लून्-राममन्दिर-भङ्गः #२९६

Event occured on 1727-02-19 (gregorian). Julian date was converted to Gregorian in this reckoning.

On Shivaratri day, Feb 8th 1727, Siddi sAt, launched a Jihad to attack the Rama temple on the Chiplun hill (when brahmendra svAmI was absent). Having desecrated the idols he rounded up several hundred brAhmaNas, tortured them and killed many of them.

Context

Svami Brahmendra had built a large temple of the bhArgava on hill near Chiplun, which was lavishly endowed by the Hindus of the Maharatta country.
At this time the Siddi governor of Govalkot and Anjanvel, two fortified posts not far from the shrine, was one Siddi Sat, a competent, if rather rough, officer.
In 1727, the Siddi admiral, Siddi sAt, launched a naval raid on the adjacent territory of Govalkot and Anjanvel, annexed them and fortified them for an offensive on the Hindus. The African imitator of his Arab role-models was seized with an itch to become a Ghazi and be recognized as a pre-eminent Moslem.

This attack enraged the Hindus who called upon Shahu to take the strongest action.

Aftermath

(The below is from New History of Marathas v2 by sArdesai.)
This wanton and certainly premeditated violence by a Muslim on a centre of Brahman orthodoxy, roused the whole of Maharashtra as if from a dream, and a cry for vengeance arose on all sides. The chief ruler of Janjira at once apologized for the foolish action of his subordinate, and restored whatever property was left intact.

In a few days the Swami arrived on the spot, vented his wrath against the Siddi and left the place for good, having been granted another spot by Shahu up the Ghats at Dhavadsi near Satara, where he then erected new edifices and where an annual celebration for his deity is still held.

The Swami appealed pathetically to Shahu and the icading Maratha commanders, calling upon then to wage a relentless holy war against the Siddi of Janjira. Time passed as no one was free to undertake the venture. When Bajirao returned victorious from his campaign of Dabhoi, both Shahu and the Swami became insistent on his punishing the Siddi for the unwarrantable crime he had committed.

Details
गोखले-बापु-मरणम् #२०५

Event occured on 1818-02-19 (gregorian).

On this day died, Bapu Narhar Ganesh Gokhale, senApati of peshva bAjI rAv 2 during the battle of Ashti (sholApur, MH), being defeated by the British under General Smith.

The battle was entirely a cavalry action, Marathas under the command of Bapu Gokhale having eight to ten thousand horse and General Smith, two regiments of cavalry, a squadron of the 22nd Dragoons, 1,200 auxiliary horse, and 2,500 infantry. The loss on the Maratha side was about 200 killed including the general Bapu Gokhale who is said to have fought very bravely unto his last while the British loss was fourteen Europeans and five native cavalry killed and wounded. Twelve elephants, fifty-seven camels and many palanquins fell into the hands of the British.

Context

Bapu had wielded the sword in the battle against Tipu (1790). His cousin Dhondopant was a prominent general under parashurAm bhAu paTTavardhana. He had succeded him and quelled several revolts.

Aftermath

The Chhatrapati fell into British hands here & the Peshwa was removed from the post of Prime Minister. Bajirao II finally surrendered on 3 June 1818 closing the 3rd Anglo Maratha war.

गुजरात-ग्राम-युद्धम् #१७४

Event occured on 1849-02-21 (gregorian).

East India Company British troops under Hugh Gough, aided mostly by superior artillery, smashed rAjA sher-singh’s army at Gujrat village near Chenab.

Sher Singh was unable to find sufficient food for his army - his retreat east towards friendly sikh villages was blocked by a swollen Chenab with a few fords defended by irregular Muslim cavalry under British officers. Sher Singh withdrew to Gujrat, where his army hastily prepared a defensive position - alas, the terrain was not as advantageous as in Chillianwala. 96 Field Guns + 67 Siege Guns of the British overwhelmed Sher Singh’s 60 guns in a 3 hour battle. The artillery then assisted the British infantry advance. Finally, the cavalry took up a ruthless pursuit, which turned the Sikh retreat into a rout over 12 miles (19 km).

Aftermath: The remnants of Sher Singh’s forces retreated across the Jhelum River and into progressively rougher country with Muslim villagers for eleven days, but Sher Singh was finally forced to agree to British terms for surrender.

कॊच्चॆङ्गट् चोऴ नायऩ्मार् (६०) गुरुपूजै

Observed on Śatabhiṣak nakshatra of Kumbhaḥ (sidereal solar) month (Prātaḥ/paraviddha).

Between the 6th and 9th centuries, in South India, there existed 63 ardent devotees of Lord Shiva, collectively known as the Nayanmars. These devout individuals, hailing from various walks of life including potters, fishermen, farmers, merchants, priests, hunters, and washermen, created devotional songs still sung by followers around the globe. Among these Nayanmars, Appar, Sambandar, and Sundarar, known for their Thevaram hymns, along with Manikkavasagar, are distinguished as the Samayacharyas or the ‘The Four’ (ta:nālvar) revered teachers of the faith. They were instrumental in promoting the Shaiva Siddhanta philosophy and culture, effectively challenging the spread of Jainism and Buddhism. Their teachings centered around the concept that Shiva embodies love, and that embracing love for all beings and existence is essential in connecting with Shiva, the Supreme Being.

In Chandra Tirtha, within the Chola kingdom, there was a sacred Shiva Lingam under a Jambu tree in a dense grove. A devout white elephant and a spider both worshiped the Lingam, but in conflicting ways. The elephant would remove the spider’s web, thinking it dirtied the sacred site, while the spider spun webs to protect the Lingam from falling leaves. One day, their conflicting devotions led to a tragic end: the spider stung the elephant as it was removing the web, resulting in both their deaths.

This spider was reborn as a prince, the son of Chola king Shuba Devan and queen Kamalavati, who prayed to Lord Nataraja of Chidambaram for a child. Born with red eyes due to delayed birth, he was named Kochengat Cholan. His mother passed away at his birth, and his father later retired for spiritual pursuits.

As king, Kochengat Cholan became a great patron of Shaivism. He constructed a temple at Tiru Anai Ka (now known as Tiruvanaikovil, https://maps.app.goo.gl/ZjkFyEot58UzTkNu8), at the same spot where he, as a spider, had once built webs over the Lingam. Throughout the Chola kingdom, he built numerous shrines and provided for the Brahmins of Tillai, ensuring regular worship at Chidambaram. His contributions to Shaivism were immortalized in the poet Poygayar’s work ‘Kalavazhi Narpathu’. Ultimately, Kochengat Cholan attained the divine abode of Lord Shiva.

He and his commander-in-chief Vadde Obanna were at the heart of the rebellion against British in 1847, where 5,000 peasants rose up against the British East India Company in Kurnool district, Rayalaseema Region of Andhra Pradesh. They were protesting against the changes introduced by the British to the traditional agrarian system in the first half of the nineteenth century.

त्रिपुष्कर-योगः
  • 03:57→06:30

When a tripādanakṣatra is conjoined with a bhadrā tithi i.e. dvitīyā, saptamī or dvādaśī, and this falls on a Tuesday, Sunday or Saturday, it is known as a tripuṣkara-yōgaḥ. When only two of these coincide, it is known as dvipuṣkara. These are specially auspicious times, and are excluded for aparakarmas such as ūnamāsikaśrāddham.

त्रिपादर्क्षं तिथिर्भद्रा भौमार्कशनिवासरे।

त्रिपुष्कर-योगः
  • 06:30→00:59

When a tripādanakṣatra is conjoined with a bhadrā tithi i.e. dvitīyā, saptamī or dvādaśī, and this falls on a Tuesday, Sunday or Saturday, it is known as a tripuṣkara-yōgaḥ. When only two of these coincide, it is known as dvipuṣkara. These are specially auspicious times, and are excluded for aparakarmas such as ūnamāsikaśrāddham.

विजया-भानुसप्तमी

saptamī tithi on a Sunday is as sacred as a solar eclipse. Particularly good for worshipping Surya. When śukla saptamī is present at sunrise, it is called vijayā.

अमावस्या तु सोमेन सप्तमी भानुना सह।
चतुर्थी भूमिपुत्रेण सोमपुत्रेण चाष्टमी।
चतस्रस्तिथयस्त्वेताः सूर्यग्रहणसन्निभाः॥

कर्णावत्यां होलिकोत्सव-कलहः #२९५

Event occured on 1728-02-29 (gregorian). Julian date was converted to Gregorian in this reckoning.

One of the earliest well-recorded hindu-muslim riots started on this Holi-day in Ahmedabad.

Trigger
  • The Ahmedabad account attributes the trigger to Holi colors falling on an indignant muslim passerby.
  • The Delhi account (seemingly more concise and confused) attributes it to burning of Holika over the objections of a muslim neighbor.
Riots

Riots proceeded for two days. Hindu (+Jain) side was led by Kapur Chand, a well connected jeweller. Muslim side was led by Abdul Aziz, a cap merchant from the Sunni Bohra community. Professional rivalry existed between them.

The muslim mob was actively roused, and involved a charismatic Sufi preacher Muhammad Ali as per the Ahmedabad account. They tried and failed to get the Qazi to join them - and burned his house out of spite. They then attacked Kapur Chand and co; who defended themselves well - employing well paid Muslim musketeers according to Ahmedabad account.

Climax

The Governor of the subah, Daud Khan (a rather unorthodox person who’s reputed to have had an idol in his house) sided with the influential Hindu Kapur Chand. The Qazi, Khairullah Khan, follwed suit. According to them, the Muslim case had no legal merit. But a rival Delhi muslim faction seems to have supported the Muslim rioters and forced the Hindu side to become conciliate.

Aftermath

Next year, according to Ali Muhammad Khan, Mirat-i Ahmadi - on the eve of Id al azha, a Bohra attempt to sacrifice a cow was thwarted by a Hindu havaldAr under the governorship of mahArAja Ajit singh. But, a Bohra Muslim mob formed and succeeded in retrieving the cow and slaughtering it after the Id prayer.

Event occured on 1947-03-02 (gregorian).

On this day, ‘mahAtmA’ MK Gandhi gave up and ended his Noakhali peace mission halfway and left for Bihar.

Context

On 18 October, Dr. Bidhan Chandra Roy personally communicated with Gandhi, appraising him of the massacre of Hindus in Noakhali and the plight of the Hindu women. At the evening prayer event, he mentioned this, and decided to visit Noakhali. Gandhi started for Noakhali on 6 November and reached Chaumuhani the next day. In the next seven weeks, he covered 116 miles and visited 47 villages. He organized prayer meetings, met local Muslim leaders, and tried to win their confidence. Still, stray incidents of violence and murder continued.

Gandhi’s stay in Noakhali was resented by the Muslim leadership. On 12 February 1947, while addressing a rally at Comilla, A. K. Fazlul Huq said that Gandhi’s presence in Noakhali had harmed Islam enormously. Towards the end of February 1947, it became vulgar. Gandhi’s route was deliberately dirtied every day and Muslims began to boycott his meetings. Gandhi discontinued his mission halfway and started for Bihar on 2 March 1947 at the request of the Muslim League leaders of Bengal. On 7 April, more than a month after leaving Noakhali, Gandhi received telegrams from Congress Party workers in Noakhali, describing attempts to burn Hindus alive. He responded that the situation in Noakhali required that the Hindus should either leave or perish.

चित्तोर-मन्दिर-नाशः #३४३

Event occured on 1680-03-03 (gregorian). Julian date was converted to Gregorian in this reckoning.

On 22 February, the Emperor Aurangzeb, waging a war against udayapura, went to look at Chitor, and by his order the 63 temples of the place were destroyed.

Context

After the death of Maharaja Jaswant Singh of Jodhpur in the Kabul Subah, he tried to eliminate the Rathors of Marwar as a political power in Rajputana. But Maharana Raj Singh of Mewar, in line with the great traditions of his House, came out in open support of the Rathors.. This led to war with both Mewar and Marwar during which the temples built on the bank of Rana’s lake were destroyed by his orders.

Raj Singh opposed Aurangzeb multiple times, once to save the Kishangarh princess Charumati from the Mughals and once by denouncing the Jizya tax levied by Aurangzeb. Chatrapati Shivaji Maharaj had once taunted Aurangzeb by telling him to ask the Rana of Mewar who is the head of the Hindus for Jizya if he had the guts instead of terrorising unarmed citizens.

प्रतापरावो हतः #३४९

Event occured on 1674-03-06 (gregorian). Julian date was converted to Gregorian in this reckoning.

pratAparAv gujjar, fine general of shivAjI, died fighting Adil shAhI general Bahlul Khan (as ordered by shivAjI) at Nesari. (To the consternation of Shivaji, Prataprao had released Bahalol Khan along troops and the seized war material, when Bahalol Khan promised not to invade Maratha territories again.) A romantic tale (without evidence) is that pratAprAv rode in heedless after being censured by shivAjI.

वेङ्कटाचले प्लवोत्सव-समापनम्

Observed on Paurṇamāsī tithi of Phālgunaḥ (lunar) month (Chandrōdayaḥ/puurvaviddha).

The Phalguna Pournami festival is a grand five-day celebration held annually at the Swami Pushkarini. Each day of the festival features a different set of deities taken for a celestial ride on a beautifully decorated float in the temple tank.

  1. On the first day, Lord Rama, along with Sita and Lakshmana, are worshipped and taken for a ride on the float.
  2. The second day is dedicated to Lord Sri Krishna and Rukmini, who are also offered puja and taken on the float for a pleasure ride.

For the last three days, from Trayodashi to Paurnami:

  1. Sri Malayappa Swami, accompanied by Sridevi and Bhudevi, are taken out for a ride in the temple tank.
  2. The third day includes three rounds of the float, increasing to five rounds on the next day.
  3. On the final day, the utsava murtis (festival deities) are taken for a splendid ride on the float for seven rounds, attracting a large number of pilgrims. The beauty of the deities is further enhanced by the charm of the full moon, making this day particularly special and visually stunning.

Event occured on 1771-03-08 (gregorian).

Trimbak rao Pethe, uncle to Sadashiv rao, inflicted a major defeat on Hyder Ali & Tipu this day. The battle took place at Chinkurli/Moti Talao near tonnUru lake. Hyder Ali and Tipu escaped disguised as fuckiirs.

Hyder route - shrIrangapaTTana, mAgaDi, bhairavadurga, uttaradurga, nAgamangala, motItAlAv (chinkurlI), shrIrangapaTTana

Aftermath
  • Among the killed was Nilkanth rao Patwardhan, as seen from an excerpt of casualty report of 9 March 1771 from the Maratha army - Of 8 chiefs killed was ‘Khasa Nilkanth rao’.
  • Srirangapatna placed under a siege for 6 weeks.
  • With the capture of Delhi and the defeat of the Nizam in 1763, Hyder and Tipu (over four campaigns) until 1771, Madhavrao Peshwa had regained all the lost ground at Panipat by 1771.
  • Hyder eventually paid a 50 lakh indemnity & signed a treaty.
    • This reprieve in 1771 was a blunder. It allowed Raghoba to ally with Hyder after Madhava Rao’s death. Mysore regained territories lost by supporting Raghoba. Marathas had to fight a resurgent Mysore again for 2 decades.
    • Hindus of kerala and kodagu paid a steel price as well.

ऎऱिपत्त नायऩ्मार् (८) गुरुपूजै

Observed on Hastaḥ nakshatra of Kumbhaḥ (sidereal solar) month (Prātaḥ/paraviddha).

Between the 6th and 9th centuries, in South India, there existed 63 ardent devotees of Lord Shiva, collectively known as the Nayanmars. These devout individuals, hailing from various walks of life including potters, fishermen, farmers, merchants, priests, hunters, and washermen, created devotional songs still sung by followers around the globe. Among these Nayanmars, Appar, Sambandar, and Sundarar, known for their Thevaram hymns, along with Manikkavasagar, are distinguished as the Samayacharyas or the ‘The Four’ (ta:nālvar) revered teachers of the faith. They were instrumental in promoting the Shaiva Siddhanta philosophy and culture, effectively challenging the spread of Jainism and Buddhism. Their teachings centered around the concept that Shiva embodies love, and that embracing love for all beings and existence is essential in connecting with Shiva, the Supreme Being.

Eripatha Nayanmar, a dedicated devotee of Lord Shiva from Karuvur in the Chola Kingdom, was known for his unwavering service to Shiva Bhaktas. He always carried an axe to protect them and would not hesitate to use it against anyone who threatened harm to these devotees. Shivakami Andar, another Shiva Bhakta in the same city, was devoutly engaged in daily worship of Lord Shiva.

On a festive day, an incident occurred where the king’s pet elephant, returning from a bath, went on a rampage and disrupted Shivakami Andar’s ritual of offering flowers to Lord Shiva. The elephant scattered the flowers and ran off, leaving Shivakami Andar distressed. Hearing his cries, Eripatha Nayanmar, in his zeal to protect a fellow devotee, chased down and killed the elephant and its mahouts with his axe.

When the king arrived and learned that Eripatha Nayanmar had killed the elephant, he initially reacted with anger but soon realized that Eripatha must have had a justified reason. Eripatha explained that his actions were in response to the elephant’s disrespect towards a Shiva Bhakta, which the king interpreted as a sin against Lord Shiva. The king, feeling responsible and guilty, offered his sword to Eripatha, asking him to execute him. Eripatha, struck by the king’s noble response, attempted to punish himself instead, which the king prevented.

At this point, divine intervention occurred. A heavenly voice explained that this was all Lord Pasupatheesvarar’s divine play to demonstrate the devotion of His followers. The elephant and mahouts miraculously woke up as though from sleep, and Shivakami Andar’s basket of flowers was restored. The king and Eripatha Nayanmar embraced in mutual respect and joy, with the king riding his elephant again and Eripatha continuing his service to Shiva Bhaktas. Eripatha Nayanmar eventually left his mortal coil, on this day of Masi Hastam, and attained Lord Shiva’s abode, his devotion having been divinely recognised and celebrated.

Event occured on 1930-03-12 (gregorian).

MK Gandhi led a group of 80 people on a 24-day (12 March 1930 to 5 April 1930) march against the British monopoly on production of salt. This non-violent protest came to be known as the Dandi March or Salt March. The Dandi March and the ensuing Dharasana Satyagraha drew worldwide attention to the Indian independence movement through extensive newspaper and newsreel coverage. Mass civil disobedience spread throughout India as millions broke the salt laws by making salt or buying illegal salt. The satyagraha against the salt tax continued for almost a year, ending with MK Gandhi’s release from jail.

Although over 60k Indians were jailed as a result of the Salt Satyagraha, the British did not make immediate major concessions.

मुम्बापुर्याम् १२ विस्फोटकानि #३०

Event occured on 1993-03-12 (gregorian).

Mumbai, 13:30–15:40, Friday (between Ramadan Jumma prayers): 12 bombs exploded, 260 people dead, 700 + Injured. The RDX used came from Islamic Republic of Pakistan by sea, and was landed in Shekhadi and Porbandar by bribing customs officials. Indian muslim gangsters (connected with Dawood Ibrahim) were given arms, ammunition and explosives training in that Islamic Republic as well.

In 2006, 100 of 129 accused were found to be guilty and were convicted (including Yakub, Isa, Yusuf and Rubina Memon, who were punished). All of these death sentences were commuted to life sentences (except Yakub) by Supreme Court in 2013. Many convicted escaped custody, including a mastermind, Tiger Memon. The mastermind don, Dawood Ibrahim (from a Konkani muslim family), found refuge in Pakistan - where his daughter married notorious pAki cricketer Javed Miandad’s son.

On 10 July 2006, the Chief Minister of Maharashtra, Sharad Pawar, admitted that he had “deliberately misled” people following the 1993 Mumbai bombings by adding the name of a “13th” Muslim-dominated locality for “communal peace”. He also admitted to lying about evidence recovered and misleading people into believing that it pointed to the Tamil Tigers as possible suspects.

Infuriated at the bombings, Ibrahim’s right-hand man, Chotta Rajan, split from the organisation and took most of the leadership-level Hindu aides with him, including Sadhu, Jaspal Singh and Mohan Kotiyan. The ensuing war continued even 25 years later, involving 100s of deaths. 10+ accused (including Salim Kurla, Majeed Khan, Shakil Ahmed, Mohammed Jindran, Hanif Kadawala, Akbar Abu Sama Khan and Mohammed Latif) were assassinated by Rajan’s hitmen. Chhota Rajan is believed to have assisted Indian intelligence agencies as well (while being targetted by pAkistan’s ISI).

उधमसिंहेन जल्लिअन्वाला-प्रतीकारः #८३

Event occured on 1940-03-13 (gregorian).

Udham Singh shot and killed Michael O’Dwyer, Governor of the Punjab in 1919, for ordering the Jallianwala Bagh massacre (in which his brother and sister died).

Singh was immediately arrested and held in Brixton prison. There he staged a thirty-six day hunger strike, which resulted in him being forcibly fed through a tube; then tried and executed. He said: “I did not take the revolver to kill but just to protest. … I have seen people starving in India under British Imperialism. I done it, the pistol went off three or four times. I am not sorry for protesting. "

While they were thus talking, the palace was surrounded by 6,000 (Maratha) cavalry, who approached so silently, that the buzzing of a fly could have been heard. I do not speak from hearsay, for I was an eyewitness.’ Thence he proceeded on his campaign, aided by Qutb Shahis. Another brAhmaNa named madanna pantalu was deputed by madanna to accompany shivAjI.

Tradition in South India (especially Tamil Nadu), where all women perform this nōnbu praying for their husband’s long life. This vratam was peformed by Savitri in the forest, following which she redeemed his life from Lord Yama.

Generally in orthodox Tamil families, the married women fast till the vrata time; and after tying the holy thread, they will eat nonbu adai and fast the rest of the day and eat milk and any fruit(preferably banana) in the night. The thread has to be tied till the next year’s festival. Till then, during bath, one applies turmeric powder to the rope.

Event occured on 1706-03-15 (gregorian). Julian date was converted to Gregorian in this reckoning.

Battle of Ratanpur (near Rajpipla,Gujarat): Marathas crushed Mughals in this battle, inspiring rebellion of Ajit Singh again. Durgadas Rathore left Mughals too (again)!

Context

A letter was sent to the governor of Baroda that he should join the force that was being sent to Surat. These officers advanced as far as the Baba Piara (Bawapir) ford on the Narmada, where they remained encamped for a month and a half in inactivity and quarrels, merely sending out spies to ascertain where the Maratha army was located. At last, stern reproofs from Abdul Hamid Khan compelled them to cross the Narmada and to march forward until they reached the village of Ratanpur on the other side, where they pitched their camps at some distance from each other. Here their scattered armies were surprised by the great Maratha host and their raw levies were routed in two separate engagements.

Aftermath

Many of Mughal troops the were drowned in the Narbada in their flight, while those who escaped managed with difficulty to make their way to Broach. Safdar Khan Babi was wounded and taken prisoner while Nazar Ali Khan burned his tents and was forced to flee for his life.

When a tripādanakṣatra is conjoined with a bhadrā tithi i.e. dvitīyā, saptamī or dvādaśī, and this falls on a Tuesday, Sunday or Saturday, it is known as a tripuṣkara-yōgaḥ. The dvipuṣkara occurs when the bhadrā tithis coincide with the same days as above, but with the dvipāda nakṣatras, which are mr̥gaśīrṣa, chitrā and dhaniṣṭhā. Like the tripuṣkara which gives a three-fold multiplier for śubha and aśubha, the dvipuṣkara has a two-fold effect.

  • देहली-पादरक्ष-विक्रेत्त्रुपद्रवः #२९४, द्विपुष्कर-योगः, प्रदोष-व्रतम्
देहली-पादरक्ष-विक्रेत्त्रुपद्रवः #२९४

Event occured on 1729-03-19 (gregorian). Julian date was converted to Gregorian in this reckoning.

On this day, Shubhkaran, a Hindu jeweller close to powerful Mughal courtiers triggered a bloody riot. His mansion was razed and replaced by a mosque.

Events
  • Shubhkaran’s palki was going past a street of Punjabi Muslim shoe sellers.
  • In the first half of month Shaban, they were celebrating with fireworks and lamps. One of these hit shubhkaran’s clothes. One of his remonstrating guards was disarmed by the shoemaker crowd.
  • The guards were later sent to punish them. In a scuffle that followed, they killed old Haji Hafiz.
  • Following day lower-class Muhammadans joined forces with the shoe-sellers, took the body to shubhkaran’s mansion and sought vengence against the kafir and his supporters in the name of Islam (deen) and qaum. Shubhkaran had wisely sought refuge in an Afghan noble’s (Sher Khan, friend of Roshan-ud-daula) mansion.
  • At afternoon namaaz - by now led by some Arab, Abyssinian and Turk off-duty mercenaries, they flooded Jama Masjid - and beat up the qazi and his son.
  • Muhammad Shah sent his wazir and Roshan-ud-daula. The wazir went to the mosque - but his appeasement only enraged the mob further. Roshan-ud-daula and Sher Khan entered - the crowd started throwing hidden stones and shoes. Their Afghan guards started attacking. The foreign muslim gang retaliated with pistols and fusils. They were quickly joined by low class muslims from Mughalpara. Regular mughal soldiers who’d accompanied the wazir joined against the Afghans!
  • The afghans retreated with their leaders - fled to the mansion of another Afghan noble.
  • The rioters were finally persuaded to cool down. The Wazir emerged with a quasi-“savior”.
  • Shubhkaran, the infidel, was shown his place. The Muslim shoe-sellers were allowed to demolish his mansion, bury old Haji that night on its wrecked site. After a few weeks, a mosque was built on that location.
Context

Muhammad Shah was a feckless “emperor”. He’d lost vast territory to the marATha-s and had bowed to Nadir shah. He was manipulated by various courtiers. He could not even manage Delhi properly.

दण्डियडिगळ् नायऩ्मार् (३१) गुरुपूजै

Observed on Śatabhiṣak nakshatra of Mīnaḥ (sidereal solar) month (Prātaḥ/paraviddha).

Between the 6th and 9th centuries, in South India, there existed 63 ardent devotees of Lord Shiva, collectively known as the Nayanmars. These devout individuals, hailing from various walks of life including potters, fishermen, farmers, merchants, priests, hunters, and washermen, created devotional songs still sung by followers around the globe. Among these Nayanmars, Appar, Sambandar, and Sundarar, known for their Thevaram hymns, along with Manikkavasagar, are distinguished as the Samayacharyas or the ‘The Four’ (ta:nālvar) revered teachers of the faith. They were instrumental in promoting the Shaiva Siddhanta philosophy and culture, effectively challenging the spread of Jainism and Buddhism. Their teachings centered around the concept that Shiva embodies love, and that embracing love for all beings and existence is essential in connecting with Shiva, the Supreme.

In the Chola kingdom’s Tiruvarur, there lived a devout worshipper named Dandi Adigal. Born without sight, he continually chanted the Panchaksharam and envisioned the Lord inwardly. He regularly visited the temple for pradakshinam and prayers.

Adigal aspired to expand a temple-side tank, bordered by Jaina residences. Despite his blindness, he resolved to undertake this task, driven by unwavering faith. He ingeniously set up a system with ropes and posts, using them to navigate and execute the digging. His efforts caught the attention of the nearby Jainas, who, envious of his progress, attempted to dissuade him, citing the sin of harming insects during excavation. Undeterred, Adigal confidently asserted that no harm would come to any creature by divine grace. The Jainas, unimpressed, forcefully took his digging tools away.

Heartbroken, Adigal sought solace in the temple, where the Lord appeared in his dream, promising assistance. Simultaneously, the Lord also visited the king in a dream, urging him to address Adigal’s troubles. Subsequently, at a royal assembly, Adigal proclaimed his faith in Lord Shiva and declared that divine will could restore his sight while the Jainas might lose theirs. As he emerged from the tank, chanting the holy Panchaksharam, his sight was miraculously restored, and the Jainas were struck blind. Astonished by this divine intervention, the king expelled the Jainas and reinforced the people’s faith in the Lord. Dandi Adigal ultimately achieved enlightenment.

When the transit of the Sun (saṅkrānti) happens in the second half of the day (aparāhṇa) and before midnight, the second half of the day is a puṇyakāla for various observances. In addition to 16 ghatikas on either side of the transition, and specific puṇyakālas like ṣaḍaśīti, viṣṇupadī etc., this is also useful, especially in cases where the other puṇyakālas are inconvenient for appropriate performance of rituals such as snāna, dāna, tarpaṇa, etc.

It is said in Vishnupuranam that when Amavasya overlaps with one of nine nakshatras—Anuradha, Vishakha, Swati, Pushya, Ardra, Punarvasu, Shravishtha, Purvaproshthapada, or Shatabhishak—it is sacred even for Devas. For instance, Shraaddha done on an Amavasya joined with Anuradha, Vishakha, Swati keeps the pitrs satisfied for eight years. Likewise, on Pushya, Ardra and Punarvasu, the pitrs satisfied for twelve years.

Marathi translation (Satyen)

बादशाहाने (औरंगजेब ) फर्मावले की सुईने त्याचे (छत्रपती संभाजी महाराजांचे) डोळे फोडून त्यात आंधळेपणाचं काजळ घालण्यात यावे. बादशहाच्या हुकुमाची अंमलबजावणी करण्यात आली.

The Emperor after two days told Ruhullah Khan to learn from Sambha where he kept his treasure jewels and other property, and which of the (Imperial) commanders used to correspond with him. At this,..as is well-known, who-so-ever washed his hands of the hope speaks out whatever he has in his heart, spoke shameful and vain words in connection with His Majesty. The Khan without reporting plainly what the wretch had spoken, sent to His Majesty a line of it in the form of hints.

The Emperor, therefore, ordered that by thrusting a needle they should give to his eyes the collyrium of blindness. It was done, as ordered. But that haughty man, in great pride gave up eating from that day, (1566) and inspite of the urging and pressing of his guards to eat, fasted for some days. At last the matter was reported to His Majesty. By his order Sambha was taken to the place of execution, his limbs were seperated one by one, and his head was taken round in show from Aurangabad to Burhanpur, and hung up on the gate at the capital Delhi.

  1. In Second Ms. 5,000 on f. 143b.
  2. Sambha was executed on Falgun (Chaitra) Vadi 30, 1745 V.S. Mon., 29 Jamad. A. 1100 A.H. i.e. March 12, 1689 A.D. Jedhe Shakavali, Shivaji., p. 32; M.A., (E.T.), p. 196.
Per marATha accounts

Sambhaji was told that if he converted to Islam and spent his life as a servant of the emperor he could see life. Sambhaji made it clear that the Alamgir was the worst enemy of the country and the Padishaw was a real fool to follow a mentally ill person as his only prophet. Awrangzeb decided to execute him on hearing his reply. sambhAjI said he would sacrifice his life as an offering to the great mahAdeva. His tongue was cut out and fed to a dog. Then his eyes were gouged out and limbs cut. His heart was pulled out and finally the head was cut. Body parts which were left over from feeding dogs were then paraded through major cities in a procession.

Background

Sambhaji’s positions were spied upon by his own relations, the Shirke family, who had defected to the Mughals. Sambhaji and 25 of his advisors (including kavi kalash) were captured by the Mughal forces of Muqarrab Khan in a skirmish at Sangameshwar in February 1689. Earlier in his life he had escaped the clutches of Awrangzeb at Agra with his father shivAjI.

सिर्हिन्दे ऽफ़्घान-पराजयः #२६५

Event occured on 1758-03-21 (gregorian).

The Marathas under raghunAth rAv, Mughals under Adina Beg and the Dal Khalsa (Sikh confederation) under Jassa Singh Ahluwalia attacked and captured Sirhind from Afghans on March 21, 1758.

Context

The Marathas remembering the vision of Peshwa Baji Rao, 1720-1740, to establish Hindu Pad Padshahi (Hindu empire) and the lure of Punjab’s riches, made the first attack on Sirhind in December 1757. The Afghan governor, Abdus Samad managed to avoid battle with a tribute. Marathas returned in January 1758 with a large army under Raghunath Rao.

Aftermath

The city was thoroughly plundered which also led to bad blood between Sikhs and Marathas as the Sikhs garnered the lion’s share. The allies then marched to Lahore. The city was abandoned by the Afghans to the “Indian alliance”. The Afghan escapees were were waylaid at Wazirabad on the Chenab. While Taimur and Jahan Khan escaped across the river, the entire treasury which was still east of the river was captured by the victors. Large scale slaughter of Afghan troops took place. The prisoners were marched by the Sikhs to Amritsar to clean the Golden Temple sarovar where dead cows and excreta had been dumped earlier by Jehan Khan.

Surprisingly despite having an army of 2,00,000 and supported by Adina Beg and the Sikhs, the Marathas did not pursue the Afghans across the Indus to deal the coupe de grace. They were content to enforce “chauth” (one forth of revenue) and “sardeshmukhi” (one tenth of revenue for king/ governor). The frontiers of Punjab were left to be guarded by 15000 - 20000 troops in widely separated forts at Multan, Peshawar and Attock. There was no unified command. Bulk of the army under Raghunath Rao and his deputy Malhar Rao Holkar made its way back to Delhi and central India.

The Marathas gave the Adina the title of Nawab and made him the overlord of Lahore and Sirhind, virtually pacing entire Punjab under him for an annual payment of rupees seventy five lakhs. They abandoned the Sikhs to the now powerful Adina who began pursuing them with vengeance for past wrongs. The Sikhs in turn began guerrilla raids on the Marathas.

गणेश-विद्यार्थि-हत्या #९२

Event occured on 1931-03-25 (gregorian).

gaNesh shankar vidyArthI, a Hindu kAyastha journalist and nationalist, was killed on this day by a Muslim mob in kAnpur. For 4 days his mutiliated dead-body was lying on a pile of garbage. He had gone to a Muslim majority area of Kanpur to appeal for harmony - and rescue trapped Hindus.

Context

Ganesh Shankar Vidyarthi (26 October 1890 – 25 March 1931) was a journalist, an Indian National Congress leader, and a friend of Bhagat Singh and Chandrashekhar Azad. He participated in the non-cooperation movement. He had translated Victor Hugo’s novel Ninety-Three, and was the founder-editor of the Hindi language newspaper, Pratap. Due to his activism, he had to face numerous prosecutions, pay heavy fines and suffer five prison sentences.

In the 1920s, hindu-muslim conflicts spread in western UP. shuddhi movement had grown popular. Even secularist congressmen asserted their defiance against Islamist mobs. For example, in February 1927, Vidyarthi and other Congress leaders had organized a demonstration to the Moolganj mosque and played music for forty minutes - in retaliation to a Muslim mob attacking a musical band accompanying a Hindu marriage procession.

In 1931, Hindu-Muslim riots took place in Kanpur. Ganesh, recently (9 March 1931) released from jail under the Gandhi–Irwin Pact, was to leave to the Karachi Congress Session, but stayed back. Eyewitnesses note him to have rescued members of both communities; his daughter claimed in an interview that Vidyarthi was murdered while trying to rescue a group of trapped Hindus.

Aftermath

Congress came out with a report on riots a month or so later- the document is a stellar template of secular whitewashing, and MK Gandhi declared: “His blood is the cement that will ultimately bind the two communities. No pact will bind our hearts. But heroism such as Ganesh Shankar Vidyarthi showed is bound in the end to melt the stoniest hearts, melt them into one.”

Ganesh Shankar Vidyarthi Puraskar has been given to renowned journalists by honourable President of India every year from 1989. Sevveral public places and institutions are named after him. On 18 July 2017, UP Government renamed Kanpur airport after him.

Operation Searchlight, specially targetting Bengali Hindus and nationalists, began on this day. It marked the beginning of the genocide in bangladesh as well as the Bangla war of liberation.

They put Mujibur Rahman behind bars and ambushed the Dhaka university, resulting in the death of 9 teachers and 200 students in Iqbal Hal. Similarly, the Pakistan army continued with its barbaric attacks on civilians in Old Dhaka, Tejgaon, Indira Road, Mirpur, Kalabagan and other places.

On the same night, several people in Chittagong were shot dead by army personnel. National newspapers, including, Daily Ittefaq, the Daily Sangbad were shut down and their offices were set ablaze, resulting in the death of several media personnel.

Mass graves were dug out and hastily bulldozed. An estimated 700 people were burnt to death in Dhaka. Similarly, they set fire to the houses of slum dwellers, fired bullets at those running away to save their lives, razed a Kali Mandir and also destroyed the Central Shaheed Minar.

Aftermath

It is believed that around 10,000-35,000 Bengalis were killed by the Pakistan army under Operation Searchlight. In the months to follow, Pakistani military and supporting Islamist militias from Jamaat-e-Islami (lit. Collective of Islamists) killed up to 3 million people, raped between 200k and 400k Bengali women. A further eight to ten million people, mostly Hindus, fled to India.

Of course, the operation failed and backfired, as India under Indira Gandhi intervened and utterly defeated the Islamic republic’s military in 14 days. Bangladesh has tried and hanged several war criminals. Pakistan continues to dispute the 1971 genocide.

Contemporary report by Ted Kennedy:

“Hardest hit have been members of the Hindu community who have been robbed of their lands and shops, systematically slaughtered, and in some places, painted with yellow patches marked H. All of this has been officially sanctioned, ordered and implemented under martial law from Islamabad”.

खन्व-युद्धम् #४९६

Event occured on 1527-03-26 (gregorian). Julian date was converted to Gregorian in this reckoning.

The mogol king bAbUr defeated rAjaputras under rANA sangrAmasiMha of mevAr.

Battle

Rana concluded there was no choice but pitched battle. The Mughal army numbered around 25k, and Mewar army somewhere between 10-20k. Don’t go by the claimed 2 lakh, its nonsense. The Mughal artillery was concentrated in the center. Mewaris attacked both wings with more troops, staying away from the Mughal trump card- the artillery. However, both Mughals managed to hold.

Babur tried a risky move- ordered his idle center to attack w.o safety of carts. This worked, as the Mewar army’s center was depleted and most sent to the wings. This was risky, as a failure wouldve meant total rout for the Mughals. Despite pushing back mewar center, the line held. Rana was shot by a bullet and fell unconscious, causing great confusion in the Rajput army. The replacement was a poor commander.

This wasn’t bad generalship, nor purely a technological edge.

Aftermath

Rana Sanga managed to evade capture and escape to Chittor, where he was poisoned to death by 30 January 1528.

Background

Rajput ruler of Mewar, Rana Sanga, sent an ambassador to Babur at Kabul, offering to join in Babur’s attack on the Sultan. Sanga offered to attack Agra, while Babur would attack the Lodhis at Delhi. But he changed his mind after realizing that bAbur, unlike taimUr, intended to stay in India. Rana Sanga had built a formidable military alliance against Babur. He was joined by virtually all the leading Rajput kings from Rajasthan. Some Lodi afghAns also joined.

Babur denounced the Afghans who joined the alliance against him as kafirs and murtads (apostates from Islam). Babur proceeded to renounce future consumption of wine, broke his drinking cups, poured out all the stores of liquor on the ground and promulgated a pledge of total abstinence. bAbur wrote: “It was a really good plan, and it had a favourable propagandistic effect on friend and foe.”

सत्नामि-हत्या #३५१

Event occured on 1672-03-26 (gregorian). Julian date was converted to Gregorian in this reckoning.

Though their revolt seems to have been sparked off by a relatively insignificant incident, Aurangzeb’s persecution of the Hindus was certainly the underlying cause which turned it into a religious uprising. The soldier hit the cultivator with a stick which broke his head, whereupon a body of Satnamis beat the assailant to death. When the news reached the local government administrator, he sent a party of footmen to arrest those men. By then a large number of Satnamis had gathered at the scene. They attacked the footmen, put them to flight and seized their arms. The number of rebels was increasing by the hour. The faujdar of Narnol sent a large body of horsemen and foot soldiers to punish the rebels. But they too were routed by the Satnamis. The movement now spread like wild fire and the number of rebels rose to some five thousand. The Satnamis defeated the faujdar of Narnol, captured the town, demolished a number of mosques and tombs and established their own administration. A belief spread among them that they were immortal and that if one of them was slain, seventy others would spring up in his place! At last, on 16th March 1672, Aurangzeb sent a force of 10,000 horsemen, supported by artillery, under command of Rad-andaz Khan to crush the revolt.

नेच नायऩ्मार् (५९) गुरुपूजै

Observed on Rōhiṇī nakshatra of Mīnaḥ (sidereal solar) month (Prātaḥ/paraviddha).

Between the 6th and 9th centuries, in South India, there existed 63 ardent devotees of Lord Shiva, collectively known as the Nayanmars. These devout individuals, hailing from various walks of life including potters, fishermen, farmers, merchants, priests, hunters, and washermen, created devotional songs still sung by followers around the globe. Among these Nayanmars, Appar, Sambandar, and Sundarar, known for their Thevaram hymns, along with Manikkavasagar, are distinguished as the Samayacharyas or the ‘The Four’ (ta:nālvar) revered teachers of the faith. They were instrumental in promoting the Shaiva Siddhanta philosophy and culture, effectively challenging the spread of Jainism and Buddhism. Their teachings centered around the concept that Shiva embodies love, and that embracing love for all beings and existence is essential in connecting with Shiva, the Supreme Being.

Nesa Nayanmar, hailing from Kampili, was a weaver by profession and a fervent devotee of Lord Shiva. His devotion was characterized by three key virtues: his mind was constantly focused on the divine feet of Lord Shiva, his lips ceaselessly chanted the sacred Panchakshara Mantra, and his hands were always engaged in serving the Lord’s devotees. These practices of devotion, japa, and service garnered him the grace of Lord Shiva.

Nesa Nayanmar’s life also exemplifies the profound impact of God’s name. Like Sirapulli Nayanmar, he showed that constant repetition of a divine mantra can lead to a state of continuous remembrance of God, transcending daily activities and even extending into sleep.

रमना-काली-मन्दिर-नाशः #५२

Event occured on 1971-03-27 (gregorian).

Twenty days after Mujib’s speech at the Ramna Race Course, the Pakistan army attacked the temple and massacred all the Hindus there and in the vicinity of the temple. The Pakistani army had doused the temple with petrol and gunpowder and set it on fire. The priest of the Ramna Kali temple along with over hundred people and fifty cows were killed in the temple, and over another hundred were massacred in the adjacent Maa Anandamayi Ashram and the nearby houses. Dr. John E. Rohde from the United States Agency for International Development visited the area on 29 March. He had witnessed charred corpses of men, women and children who had been killed and burned.

सोममृगशीर्ष-योगः
  • 15:25→

When Mrgashirsha nakshatra falls on a Monday, it is a special yōgaḥ. In the cyclic rotation of time, along with the bad combinations of grahas and nakshatras that indicate the probability of upcoming difficulties, good combinations that grant benefits in multiples also arise. Among such good combinations are the Amrita Siddhi yogas of certain weekdays and nakshatras. They are Sunday-Hasta, Monday-Mrigashirsha, Tuesday-Ashvini, Wednesday-Anuradha, Thursday-Pushya, Friday-Revati, Saturday-Rohini. As per the reading sōmaśrāvaṇyām in the same verse, Monday-Shravana is also praised as a special yoga. Good deeds performed on such yogas become especially strong in protecting and nourishing us. For instance, in Devi Atharvashirsha, it is said bhaumāśvinyāṁ mahādevī-sannidhau japtvā mahāmr̥tyuṁ tarati, that is, one can cross even mahāmr̥tyu by doing parayanam when Tuesday and Ashvini join.

When a tripādanakṣatra is conjoined with a bhadrā tithi i.e. dvitīyā, saptamī or dvādaśī, and this falls on a Tuesday, Sunday or Saturday, it is known as a tripuṣkara-yōgaḥ. The dvipuṣkara occurs when the bhadrā tithis coincide with the same days as above, but with the dvipāda nakṣatras, which are mr̥gaśīrṣa, chitrā and dhaniṣṭhā. Like the tripuṣkara which gives a three-fold multiplier for śubha and aśubha, the dvipuṣkara has a two-fold effect.

त्रिपुष्कराख्योऽदितिवह्निविश्वद्वीशाजपादर्यमभेषु योगः।

धीरेन्द्रनाथो हतः #५२

Event occured on 1971-03-29 (gregorian).

On this day, Dhirendranath Datta, the 84-year-old freedom fighter, was arrested along with his son, Dilipkumar Datta, from his residence in the Comilla district by the Pakistan army. The duo was taken to the Mainamati Cantonment where they were tortured to death. Their bodily remains were disposed of in such a manner that they were never found.

Context

Born on November 2 in 1886, Datta fought for India’s independence from British rule. He participated in agitation against the Partition of Bengal (1905), the Non-Cooperation movement (1920-1922) and the Quit India movement (1942-1945). He was arrested several times for his anti-British stance. After the partition (which he opposed), as a parliamentarian, he advocated recognition of bengAli and opposed West Pakistani direct rule.

Operation Searchlight, specially targetting Bengali Hindus and nationalists, began a few days ago. It marked the beginning of the genocide in bangladesh as well as the Bangla war of liberation. Members of the Pakistani military and supporting Islamist militias from Jamaat-e-Islami (lit. Collective of Islamists) killed up to 3 million people, raped between 200k and 400k Bengali women. A further eight to ten million people, mostly Hindus, fled to India.

गणनाथ नायऩ्मार् (३८) गुरुपूजै

Observed on Ārdrā nakshatra of Mīnaḥ (sidereal solar) month (Prātaḥ/paraviddha).

Between the 6th and 9th centuries, in South India, there existed 63 ardent devotees of Lord Shiva, collectively known as the Nayanmars. These devout individuals, hailing from various walks of life including potters, fishermen, farmers, merchants, priests, hunters, and washermen, created devotional songs still sung by followers around the globe. Among these Nayanmars, Appar, Sambandar, and Sundarar, known for their Thevaram hymns, along with Manikkavasagar, are distinguished as the Samayacharyas or the ‘The Four’ (ta:nālvar) revered teachers of the faith. They were instrumental in promoting the Shaiva Siddhanta philosophy and culture, effectively challenging the spread of Jainism and Buddhism. Their teachings centered around the concept that Shiva embodies love, and that embracing love for all beings and existence is essential in connecting with Shiva, the Supreme Being.

Gananathar, a devout Brahmana from Sirkali, was the 38th of the Nayanmars. He was revered for his deep devotion to Lord Shiva and was a source of spiritual guidance for many. Recognizing the varied abilities of those who sought his advice, he engaged them in service activities related to the temple, such as cleaning, making garlands, gardening, and lamp lighting. This approach not only transformed these individuals into Shiva Bhaktas but also infused a sense of devotion in them. Additionally, Gananathar was deeply devoted to Jnana Sambandar. All these great attributes contributed to him earning the grace of Lord Shiva.

कपाल्यधिकार-नन्दी

The Adhikara Nandi festival a special day within the larger Panguni Utsavam, the 10-day annual festival celebrated at the Sri Kapaleeshwarar Temple in Mylapore, Chennai. The festival celebrates the divine bull Nandi, the mount of Lord Shiva. [Image of Nandi, the mount of Lord Shiva] Adhigara translates to “Supreme Bull” or “King of Bulls,” highlighting Nandi’s importance as Shiva’s loyal companion and vahanam.

On the morning of the third day of the Panguni Utsavam, Lord Kapaleeshwarar, the presiding deity of the temple, is adorned in special ornaments and taken out in a procession mounted on a silver-plated Nandi. The procession winds through the “Mada” streets of Mylapore, accompanied by devotional music, chants, and enthusiastic devotees.

The sight of the majestic silver Nandi adorned with flowers and jewels, carrying Lord Kapaleeshwarar, is a mesmerising spectacle. Devotees throng the streets to witness the procession, shower blessings, and participate in the joyous celebrations. The procession culminates in the temple complex, where special rituals and pujas are performed for Lord Kapaleeshwarar and Nandi.

The Rishabha Vahanam festival is also part of the larger Panguni Utsavam at the Sri Kapaleeswarar Temple in Mylapore, Chennai. It celebrates Lord Shiva’s ride, the bull Nandi, who is adorned in a special gold-plated vahanam (mount) shaped like a bull. The procession usually begins late at night, around 10:00 PM, and continues until the early hours of morning! The sight of the majestic gold-plated Nandi vahanam, illuminated and decorated with flowers, is a stunning visual spectacle. The procession winds through the Mada streets of Mylapore, accompanied by vibrant music, chanting, and enthusiastic devotees.

खिल्जि-बख्तीयार-सैन्य-नाशः #८१७

Event occured on 1206-03-31 (gregorian).

On this day, forces of the Assamese khen dynasty kAmarUpa king vishvasundara-deva aka pRthu utterly destroyed the army of the evil marauder Ikhtiyárud dín Muhammad Bakhtíyár Khiljí.

Kanaibadasibana or Kānāi Baraśi Bowā Rock Inscription of North Guwahati proclaims:

“śāke turaga-yugmeśe
madhu-māsa-trayodaśe
kāmarupaṁ samāgatya
turuṣkāḥ kṣayamāyayuḥ”

Context

Having utterly destroyed the world reknowned universities of nAlanda and vikramashIla (where the libraries are said to have burnt for days) besides massacring all Śramaṇas and Brāhmaṇas during his 1200 invasion, having razed navadvIpa in his 1203/04 invasion of sena-ruled vanga, bakhtIyAr was seized by the ambition of seizing Tibet (likely attracted by plunder, trade routes and horses - a valuable military resource).

Led on by a Mech convert named Ali, he with about 10k horses proceeded to cross a bridge in kAmarUpa. The kAmarUpa king sent him a message warning him about it being the wrong season (winter snow?) for attack and suggested that he wait till new year so the he would join in. But bakhtIyAr hurried on, leaving behind a few troops. After 15 days, he reached Tibet. There he began looting. Angry Tibetans inflicted heavy losses on bakhtIyAr. Further he feared arrival of a massive army. So he began retreating.

The inhabitants of the valleys and passes had all removed far away from the road, and for a space of fifteen days, not a sir of food nor a blade of grass or fodder was to be found, and they were compelled to kill and eat their horses.

Rout in kAmarUpa

By the time he got back to the bridge, he found it destroyed and the guard gone. He holed up in a temple. The kAmarUpa king pRthu ordered his troops to block their way out. Still, Bakhtíyár and forces escaped to the river bank, pursued by the kAmarUpa troops. They tried to ford the river in desperation. Almost everyone died. Out of 10k when they set out, about 100 made it accross.

Aftermath

Bakhtiyar fell into depression. Like his Delhi sultAn, he was soon murdered with a knife. kAmarUpa king pRthu continued to rule till 1228, when he died fighting Iltutmish’s son Nasiruddin.

मुऩैयडुवार् नायऩ्मार् (५२) गुरुपूजै

Observed on Puṣyaḥ nakshatra of Mīnaḥ (sidereal solar) month (Prātaḥ/paraviddha).

Between the 6th and 9th centuries, in South India, there existed 63 ardent devotees of Lord Shiva, collectively known as the Nayanmars. These devout individuals, hailing from various walks of life including potters, fishermen, farmers, merchants, priests, hunters, and washermen, created devotional songs still sung by followers around the globe. Among these Nayanmars, Appar, Sambandar, and Sundarar, known for their Thevaram hymns, along with Manikkavasagar, are distinguished as the Samayacharyas or the ‘The Four’ (ta:nālvar) revered teachers of the faith. They were instrumental in promoting the Shaiva Siddhanta philosophy and culture, effectively challenging the spread of Jainism and Buddhism. Their teachings centered around the concept that Shiva embodies love, and that embracing love for all beings and existence is essential in connecting with Shiva, the Supreme Being.

This Nayanmar, a Vellala from Tiru Nidur in the Chola kingdom, was renowned for his profound devotion to Lord Shiva and His devotees. Known for his strength and skill in combat, he became a beacon of hope for those in distress, often aiding the weak and defeated. He offered his services as a professional fighter (fencer), setting a wage for his involvement. Significantly, he used the earnings from these endeavors to feed and care for devotees of Lord Shiva, thus earning the moniker ‘Munaiyaduvar’. His life was marked by two key lessons: first, the use of his God-given talent in fencing was always in defense of righteousness, supporting those who were oppressed or downtrodden. Second, he consistently dedicated the fruits of his efforts to serving the Lord, aligning with the core teachings of the Bhagavad Gita and various saints.

नादिरशाहेन देहल्यां लोकहत्या #२८४

Event occured on 1739-04-02 (gregorian). Julian date was converted to Gregorian in this reckoning.

9 AM: It was the morning of Holi. A massacre, horrific beyond any description, breaks out on the streets of Delhi (started by nAdir shAh). When it ended several hours later, tens of thousands of corpses lay on the streets. Estimates range from 30000-80000.

Context

The city administrator attempted to fix prices at a lower level and Afsharid troops were sent to the market at Paharganj, Delhi to enforce them. However, the local merchants refused to accept the lower prices and this resulted in violence during which some Afsharid troops were assaulted and killed. When a rumour spread that Nader had been assassinated by a female guard at the Red Fort, some Indians attacked and killed 3,000 Afsharid troops during the riots that broke out on the night of 21 March. (Source: Wikipedia)

Events

On the morning of 22 March, the Shah rode out in full armour and took a seat at the Sunehri Masjid of Roshan-ud-dowla near the Kotwali Chabutra in the middle of Chandni Chowk. He then, to the accompaniment of the rolling of drums and the blaring of trumpets, unsheathed his great battle sword in a grand flourish to the great and loud acclaim and wild cheers of the Afsharid troops present. This was the signal to start the onslaught and carnage. Almost immediately, the fully armed Afsharid army of occupation turned their swords and guns on to the unarmed and defenceless civilians in the city. The Afsharid soldiers were given full licence to do as they pleased and promised a share of the wealth as the city was plundered. (Source: Wikipedia)

Aftermath

Areas of Delhi such as Chandni Chowk and Dariba Kalan, Fatehpuri, Faiz Bazar, Hauz Kazi, Johri Bazar and the Lahori, Ajmeri and Kabuli gates, all of which were densely populated by both Hindus and Muslims, were soon covered with corpses. People resorted to killing their women, children and themselves rather than submit to the Afsharid soldiers. Some 10,000 women and children were taken slaves, according to a representative of the Dutch East India Company in Delhi.

Finally, after many hours of desperate pleading by the Mughals for mercy, Nader Shah relented and signalled a halt to the bloodshed by sheathing his battle sword once again. Bodies of the victims were simply buried in mass burial pits or cremated in grand funeral pyres.

####### Plunder The city was sacked for several days. An enormous fine of 20 million rupees was levied on the people of Delhi. Muhammad Shah handed over the keys to the royal treasury, and lost the Peacock Throne, Koh-i-Noor and Darya-i-Noor diamonds to Nader Shah. Nader’s army took roughly 120 billion US dollars in purchasing power today from Delhi back to Persia. It took 20,000 mules and 20,000 camels to carry off the treasure. On Nader’s return to Iran, Sikhs fell upon his army and seized a large amount of booty and freed the slaves in captivity and Nader’s army could not pursue them successfully as they were oppressed by the terrible heat of May, and being overloaded with booty. But, still the plunder seized from Delhi was so much that Nader stopped taxation in Persia for a period of three years following his return.

Nader Shah was assassinated in 1747.

कपाली अऱुपत्तु मूवर्

The Arupathumoovar festival, celebrated on the eighth afternoon of the Panguni festival at the Kapaleeshwarar temple, is a grand event where Lord Shiva, in a majestic procession, grants darshan to the 63 Nayanmars. All the 63 Nayanmars are taken out in procession on this day! While this is itself not unique, as it is celebrated by several Shiva temples as part of their annual brahmotsavam-s, the story of Poompavai and related observances make this festival very unique at Kapaleeshwarar temple! This description, from a 1910 article in Viveka Bodhini magazine, captures the essence of the festival and the story of Poompavai.

The story revolves around Sivanesan Chettiar, a wealthy Mylapore businessman, who plans to marry his daughter Poompavai to Saint Thirugnanasambandar (the 28th of the Nayanmars). Tragically, Poompavai dies from a snake bite and is cremated. Chettiar preserves her ashes, hoping for her revival by Thirugnanasambandar. When the Saint arrives and sings the Poompavai Pathigam, the girl miraculously resurrects. Chettiar offers her hand in marriage, but the Saint, considering himself her father after her rebirth, declines.

On Arupathumoovar day, this episode is reenacted with idols of Saint Thirugnanasambandar and Sivanesan Chettiar in processions, followed by elaborate rituals and offerings. The idol of Poompavai, too, is brought out and placed in a pandal. The event culminates with the odhuvar of Kapaleeshwarar temple reciting the Poompavai Pathigam, describing various temple festivals and lamenting Poompavai’s absence from them. Each verse ends with arathi to Thirugnanasambandar, and at the recital’s conclusion, Poompavai’s curtain is removed for a grand arathi. The trio then joins the procession of nayanmars, leading Lord Shiva’s procession, which starts around 3 p.m. and lasts several hours.

Conversations with a temple priest shed light on the traditional practices that continue to be part of the enactment of the Poompavai episode, largely unchanged over time. The abhishekam offerings for Sivanesan Chettiar, for instance, are provided by his community’s representatives, who operate from a mandapam located opposite the temple’s Eastern Gopuram. Before the Poompavai Pathigam is sung, the Thiruthondar Puranam is recited, detailing the events leading up to Thirugnanasambandar’s arrival in Mylapore. A cloth-covered pot filled with jaggery is placed, symbolizing the urn holding Poompavai’s ashes, as preserved by Sivanesan Chettiar. At the conclusion of the Poompavai Pathigam, this pot is opened, and the jaggery inside is distributed as prasadam to those present.

The article also highlights several unchanged traditions, like offerings for Sivanesan Chettiar’s abhishekam brought by community representatives and the distribution of jaggery prasadam, symbolizing Poompavai’s ashes. It marvels at the huge crowds, estimated at four to five lakh, and notes the stopping of vehicular traffic by 2 p.m. Various charitable activities, like serving water, buttermilk, paanakam, and organizing annadaanam, are detailed, with special mention of the longstanding Sivaganasambandar Thaneer Pandal and distribution of cow’s milk for children. The article concludes noting the extensive reach of these services, a tradition that continues to this day.

मार्ताण्डवर्मणा वान्-गोलॆनॆस्सॆ-प्रत्याख्यानम् #२८०

Event occured on 1743-04-06 (gregorian).

On this day, Julius Valentyn Stein van Gollenesse, the Dutch commander at Kochi (Cochin), was told to get lost (ie there would be no treaty) by King mArtANDa varma of padmanAbhapura.

Context

mArtANDa varma’s army had been annexing and consolidating neighbouring kingdoms, while defeating the Dutch in battle after battle. There were reports that major reinforcements were due to arrive from Europe under van Imhoff - so the king started negotiating - but delaying. As soon as he learned that van Imhoff had not yet departed from Europe - that his arrival was postponed, he assumed tough bargaining positions - no special concessions for the Dutch, they were to help padmanAbhapura against French and ArkoT navAb etc.. His representatives kept backing away from terms previously agreed to.

Aftermath

In May 1743, van Gollenesse stepped down from the Dutch command in Malabar, in order to take up charge as the Governor of Dutch Ceylon. His replacement Reinicus Siersma realized that the local chiefs of Kerala no longer feared the Dutch, and a failure to reach an agreement with Travancore would severely affect the Company’s pepper trade in Malabar. On 22 May 1743, Siersma concluded a peace treaty with Travancore, accepting most of the terms proposed by Marthanda Varma. There would be further capitulation in the next treaty.

राजपाल-महाशयो हतः #९४

Event occured on 1929-04-06 (gregorian).

On this day, a 19 year old Muslim carpenter named Ilm ud din stabbed Mahashay Rajpal on his chest eight times while he was seated in the outer verandah of his shop. Mahashay Rajpal was the publisher of rangIlA rasUl.

Context

Mahashay Rajpal Malhotra was born in a Khatri family in Amritsar on the Panchmi tithi of Ashadh Samvat (AD 1885). He came to own a publishing business.

In 1923, Muslims published two particularly offensive books to Hindus. “Krishna teri geeta jalani padegi” used derogatory and vulgar language against Shri Krishna and other Hindu deities and “Uniseevi sadi ka maharshi” which contained derogatory remarks on Arya Samaj founder Swami Dayanand Saraswati (incidentally written by an Ahmadi). This was the time before Sec 295A was introduced in the IPC.

To respond to this provocation, Pandit Chamupati Lal, a close friend of Mahashay Rajpal, wrote a short biography of the Islamic Prophet, Mohammed. Titled “Rangeela Rasool” this short pamphlet was a satirical take on the domestic life of Mohammed. Because of the sensitive nature of the pamphlet, Pandit Chamupati made Mahashay Rajpal promise that he would never reveal the name of the authorOn the surface, Rangeela Rasool had a laudatory tone of Mohammed’s life but at the same time pointing out uncomfortable truths about his domestic life. Though historically accurate and written after due research of hadiths, this caused an outrage among the Muslims of Lahore.

Before the second edition could be printed, the colonial government banned the pamphlet in late June 1924. By July 1924, Muslims had filed a criminal case against Mahashay Rajpal under Sec 153A (promoting enmity between groups). During the trial, he was offered to give up the name of the real author of Rangeela Rasool and go scot-free, but he declined it and upheld his promise. In legal proceedings that lasted close to three years, in May 1927 Mahashay Rajpal was acquitted of all charges. The judge contended that Sec. 153A does not prohibit historical analysis of ‘prophets’ of different religions and if it were to be so applied, works of serious historians could also be subject to it.

Muslims all over the country went off into a frenzy. The primary organized opposition to the judgement was driven by the Khilafatists and the Ahmadis. The British introduced 295A, criminalizing future speech deemed insulting to religious groups, passed easily in parliament with widespread support.

In 1927, the same year he was acquitted, there were two unsuccessful attempts on his life — a wrestler named Khuda Baksh attacked him in September 1927 when he was sitting in his shop but Khatri Rajpal ji caught him and handed him over to the authorities. Khuda Baksh was convicted and sentenced to ten years in prison. The next month, a Muslim man named Aziz Ahmed attacked Swami Satyanand ji mistaking him to Khatri Rajpal. Luckily, the attack was not fatal and Swami ji recovered after a couple of months. A further attempt succeeded.

Aftermath

As word spread among the Hindus of Lahore, a crowd of thousands gathered. Hesitant Brits gave permission for a funeral procession the next day.

Mahashay Rajpal’s killer was represented in court by Mohammad Ali Jinnah. At his funeral the poet Mohammad Iqbal, a favourite of Indian liberals today, eulogized the killer. Today his grave is a religious site in Pakistan and Pakistani textbooks eulogize him with the title of “Ghazi”.

After partition, Mahashay Rajpal’s family moved to Delhi from where “Rajpal and Sons” continues to operate today. Almost 70 years after his death, he was awarded the first “International Freedom to Publish Award” by then deputy PM LK Advani.

कारैक्काल् अम्मैयार् (२४) गुरुपूजै

Observed on Svātī nakshatra of Mīnaḥ (sidereal solar) month (Prātaḥ/paraviddha).

Between the 6th and 9th centuries, in South India, there existed 63 ardent devotees of Lord Shiva, collectively known as the Nayanmars. These devout individuals, hailing from various walks of life including potters, fishermen, farmers, merchants, priests, hunters, and washermen, created devotional songs still sung by followers around the globe. Among these Nayanmars, Appar, Sambandar, and Sundarar, known for their Thevaram hymns, along with Manikkavasagar, are distinguished as the Samayacharyas or the ‘The Four’ (ta:nālvar) revered teachers of the faith. They were instrumental in promoting the Shaiva Siddhanta philosophy and culture, effectively challenging the spread of Jainism and Buddhism. Their teachings centered around the concept that Shiva embodies love, and that embracing love for all beings and existence is essential in connecting with Shiva, the Supreme Being.

Karaikal Ammaiyar, originally named Punithavathy, was born into a prosperous Vaisya family. Her parents, Danadathan and his wife, were devout and virtuous. Punithavathy, a fervent devotee of Lord Shiva from childhood, married Paramadattan, a wealthy merchant. They led an exemplary life until an incident tested her devotion.

One day, after receiving two mangoes from Paramadattan, Punithavathy encountered a famished Shiva Yogi and offered him one of the mangoes. When Paramadattan requested the second mango at mealtime, Punithavathy prayed for divine assistance. Miraculously, another mango appeared, which she served to her husband. Astounded by its divine taste, Paramadattan questioned its origin. Upon learning the truth, he found it inconceivable to live as her husband, considering her divine qualities.

Paramadattan left for a foreign land under the guise of business, settled in the Pandyan kingdom, remarried, and named his daughter after Punithavathy, out of his deep regard for her. When Punithavathy’s relatives learned of his whereabouts, they took her to meet him. Paramadattan, receiving her with his new family, fell at her feet, worshipping her as a goddess.

Realising Paramadattan’s perception of her, Punithavathy prayed to Lord Shiva for a demoniacal form to renounce her physical charm. Her prayer was answered, transforming her into a skeletal form. She then journeyed to Kailasa, the abode of Lord Shiva and Parvathi. Overflowing with devotion, and considering the sacredness of Kailasa, she considered it a sin to set her foot on the holy mountain, and travelled the final stretch on her head! As Parvathi Devi was astounded by her strange form and unique devotion, Lord Shiva narrated the greatness of Ammaiyar to Her.

Acknowledging her exceptional devotion, Lord Shiva welcomed her warmly and offered her a boon. Punithavathy requested perpetual, undiluted devotion to Lord Shiva, freedom from rebirth, and the privilege to sing his praises during his cosmic dance. Lord Shiva granted her wishes and directed her to Thiruvalangadu, where she spent the rest of her life singing hymns in praise of the Lord.

किलिमनूरु-दुर्ग-ग्रहणम् #२८१

Event occured on 1742-04-10 (gregorian).

On this day, a dejected Dutch force, led by Captain Daniel Bergen and Jacob Hinderman, abandoned the Kilimanoor fort - leaving behind ammunition and provisions, diplomatically outmaneouvred by the padmanAbhapura army of mArtANDa varma and abandoned by their erstwhile allies - the rulers of Kollam and Kayamkulam.

The Dutch force retreated to AyirUr, where they were surrounded - but were rescued by ships sent by the malabAr command.

Context

The Dutch had recently lost badly at Colachel. Peace negotiations (conducted in anticipation of Dutch reinforcements under van Imhoff) had failed.

Aftermath

mArtANDa varma’s forces attacked Kollam (defended by soldiers led by achyuta vArriar) in June. Dutch tried to help, but couldn’t. The ruler of Kollam and Kayamkulam agreed to become a tributary of padmanAbhapura, signed a treaty to this effect in September 1742, at Mannar, ceded much territory and paid annual tribute. Further attempts by him to renege with Dutch help were fruitless.

mArtANDa-varma dragged on negotiations with Dutch - ultimately backing out by presenting strict terms as soon as he learned that van Imhoff had not yet departed from Europe - eventually leading to Dutch capitulation.

मलिक्-कफ़्रेण रामेश्वर-नाशः #७१२

Event occured on 1311-04-11 (gregorian).

On this day, the jihAdist gAzi army of maliq kafr, the general of Alla-ad-din Khalji, completed a campaign to destroy a beautiful temple at rAmeshvaram.

(Source of the below account is Amir Khusroo’s Tarikh-i-Allai.)

Events per Khusroo

Maliq Kafr heard that in Brahmastpuri (Near Rameshwaram) there was a golden idol, round which many elephants were stabled. The Maliq started on a night expedition against this place, and in the morning seized no less than two hundred and fifty elephants.

He then determined on razing the beautiful temple to the ground. That temple was beauteous as the Paradise of Shaddad, the golden temple of Ram (Rameshwaram) where the hellish Hindus worshiped their gods. The roof was covered with rubies and emeralds,-in short, it was the holy place of the Hindus. The Maliq dug up the temple from its foundations without leaving anything, and made the heads of the Brahmans and other idol worshiper dance from their necks and fall to the ground at their feet. And blood of Hindus flowed in torrents. The stone idols called Ling Mahadeo, which had been a long time established at that place. They were copulating sex organs worshiped by the Kafir Hindus. Up to this time, the kick of the horse of Islam had not yet broken them. The Musalmans destroyed all the lings, and idols of Deo Narain (viShNu), and the other gods. Had these idols been able to move they would have jumped to the fort of Lanka. Had those sex organs had legs they would have run at fright of the Moslems. There was much fierce fighting with the Hindu Nayakas defending the land who were finally butchered. Much gold and valuable jewels fell into the hands of the Musalmans, who returned to the royal canopy, after executing their project of the holy Jihad on the 13th of Zi-l ka’da, 710 H. (April, 1311 A.D.). They destroyed all the temples at Birdhul (Near Madhurai), and plundered the public treasury.

Context per Khusroo

The tongue of the sword of the Khalifat of the era, which is the tongue of the flame of Islam, has imparted light to the entire pagan darkness of Hindustan by the illumination of its guidance. On one side an iron wall of royal swords has been raised before the Kafirs of Mongolia, the Magog-like Tatars, so that all of the Mongolian tribe, deserted by Allah, drew their feet within their skirts amongst the hills of Ghazni, and even their advance-arrows had not strength enough to reach into Sind which was conquered by the sword of Islam. On the other side so, much dust arose from the battered temple of Somnath that even the sea was not able to settle it. On the right hand and on the left hand the army of Islam has conquered Hindustan from sea to sea, and several capitals of the rulers of the Hindus, in which the worship of the fire and their devilish gods and had prevailed since the time of the Jinns, have all been demolished. All these impurities of infidelity have been cleansed by the Sultan Alla-ad-din’s destruction of idols and temples, beginning with his first Jihad against Devgir (Devagiri in Maharashtra). Now the flames of the light of the Shariat and the righteous Fatwa illuminate all these unholy Hindu lands, and places for the callers to Namaz occupy the high places and the and Namaz is read in mosques. Allah be praised!

Event occured on 1679-04-12 (gregorian). Julian date was converted to Gregorian in this reckoning.

On this day, Awrangzeb reimposed the discriminatory Jazia tax on Hindus.

This was just a month after the death of the powerful rAjaputra Jasvant singh rAthoD, and the fanatic had been waiting for the opportunity.

Translated order

As all the arms of the religious Emperor (Aurangzeb) were directed to the spreading of the law of Islam and the overthrow of the practices of the infidels he issued orders to the high diwani officers that from 1st Rabi ul awwal, in obedience to the Quranic injuction ‘till they pay commutation money (jazia) with the hand in humility’ and in agreement with the canonical traditions, jazia should be collected from the infidels of the capital and the provinces.

जलियन्वालाबाघ-हत्या #१०४

Event occured on 1919-04-13 (gregorian).

On this day, British Brigadier-General R. E. H. Dyer surrounded Jallianwala Bagh with his soldiers, blocked the exit, and fired at a crowd of unarmed crowd of baisAkhi celebrators plus pro-independence protestors. The troops kept on firing until their ammunition was exhausted (10 minutes, 1,650 rounds). At least 1000 people were killed and over 1,200 other people were injured of whom 192 were seriously injured. 120 bodies were recovered from a well in the grounds.

Dyer is reported to have, from time to time, “checked his fire and directed it upon places where the crowd was thickest”. Some of the soldiers initially shot into the air, at which Dyer shouted: “Fire low. What have you been brought here for?”.

The following day, Dyer issued the following notice:

You people know well that I am a Sepoy and soldier. Do you want war or peace? If you wish for a war, the Government is prepared for it, and if you want peace, then obey my orders and open all your shops; else I will shoot. For me the battlefield of France or Amritsar is the same. I am a military man and I will go straight. … I have served in the military for over 30 years. I understand the Indian Sepoy and Sikh people very well. You will have to obey my orders and observe peace. Otherwise the shops will be opened by force and rifles. You will have to report to me of the Badmash [criminals]. I will shoot them. Obey my orders and open shops. Speak up if you want war? You have committed a bad act in killing the English. The revenge will be taken upon you and upon your children.

Aftermath

Michael O’Dwyer, Lieutenant-Governor of Punjab from 1913 to 1919, endorsed Dyer and called the massacre a “correct” action. O’Dwyer was assassinated in London in 1940 by Udham Singh.

Responses polarized both the British and Indian peoples. The army was retrained and developed less violent tactics for crowd control. Britain never formally apologised for the massacre but expressed “regret” in 2019.

Dyer was allowed to resign and settle in Britain. Huge funds were raised, including contributions by civil servants and Army officers and presented to the butcher; while families of the victims received Rs 500 (then equal to £37.10s.0d; equivalent to £1,497 in 2019) each after long delay. Dyer suffered a series of strokes during the last years of his life and he became increasingly isolated due to the paralysis and speechlessness inflicted by his strokes.

खाल्सारम्भः #३२५

Observed on day 1 of Mēṣaḥ (sidereal solar) month (Sūryōdayaḥ/puurvaviddha). The event occurred in 1699 (Gregorian era).

On this auspicious day, the tenth Guru of Sikhs, Guru Gobind Singh Ji, laid the foundation of Khalsa. The aim behind the formation of Khalsa was to create ideal people who would be perfect in every way including devotion (Bhakti) and strength (Shakti). He introduced the new form of initiatory rites ‘Khande di pahul’ or ‘rites by the double-edged sword’ in 1699. From that day, Waheguru Ji Ka Khalsa, Waheguru Ji Ki Fateh became an integral part of Sikhism.

Events

After his address to the gathering, he invited (consecutively, 5 times) any person to offer his head for the khAlsa; taking them in and emerging with a bloody sword. These were the first 5 khAlsa members.

Context

After the execution of Shri Guru Teg Bahadur Ji, his son Shri Guru Gobind Singh Ji (formerly known as Gobind Rai) became the tenth and last Guru of Sikhs. At that time there was a feeling of darkness and unhappiness due to the continuous atrocities of the Mughals. He vowed to turn Sikhs from “Sparrows to Hawks”. His famous words “Chidhiya naal mai baaz ladaawan, Geedadan toh main sher banawaan, Sawa lakh se ek ladawan, Tabe Gobind Singh naam kahaawan!” literally means “I shall make sparrows fight the hawk, I shall make lions out of jackals, I will teach one man to fight 1.25 lakh, Only then will I be called Gobind Singh”.

Several months before the formation of Khalsa, Shri Guru Gobind Singh Ji had sent an invitation to all his followers to come to Anandpur Sahib on Baisakhi (saura-meSha-sankrAnti) in 1699, which fell on March 30. Thousands of devotees gathered at Anandpur Sahib for the auspicious event.

शैस्ते-खानाङ्गुलीकर्तनम् #३६०

Event occured on 1663-04-15 (gregorian). Julian date was converted to Gregorian in this reckoning.

It was ramzAn. Shayista Khan was occupying shivAjI’s palace lAl mahal in puNyanagarI. shivAjI arrived at night and infiltrated at night (tales say - pretending to be a marriage party, others say - pretending to be part of the mogol army). shivAjI and co entered via kitchen, killed the cooks. Maid servants alerted shaiste khAn (who supposedly hid in the bed chamber). In the following scuffle, as he was hiding to escape, shaiste lost his fingers (to shivAjI’s sword, they say). His eldest son, son in law, 40-50 men were killed. Few women were wounded. shivAjI’s side: 6 killed, 40 wounded. Then shivAjI escaped quickly, crossed the river, and escaped back - aided by cavalry detachments placed on the way.

Mogols suspected that this attack was done in connievance of the mogol rAjaputra general jasvant singh rAthoD, who was nearby with a 10k strong force. He did not order a chase as Marathas retreated. Shaista taunted Maharaja next morning- since you did not show up at night, I thought you had died fighting!

Shaiste (who was incidentally fluent in sanskrit) went back; was dismissed by awrangzeb from deccan and reappointed to bengal (not being allowed to show his face). This daredevil attack raised shivAjI’s prestige all over India. Jats also would disgrace Shaista Khan a few years later again when during his tenure as Agra’s governor, they loot the mausoleum of emperor’s parents- Taj Mahal!

When a tripādanakṣatra is conjoined with a bhadrā tithi i.e. dvitīyā, saptamī or dvādaśī, and this falls on a Tuesday, Sunday or Saturday, it is known as a tripuṣkara-yōgaḥ. When only two of these coincide, it is known as dvipuṣkara. These are specially auspicious times, and are excluded for aparakarmas such as ūnamāsikaśrāddham.

वासायि-युद्धे प्रथमो जयः #२८६

Event occured on 1737-04-16 (gregorian). Julian date was converted to Gregorian in this reckoning.

On the nightfall, a Maratha contingent attacked Portuguese bastion called St Jeronimo. With the proficient use of gun fire & artillery, finally the Marathas won St Jeronimo bastion. Chimaji Appa named St Jeronimo Bastion as ‘Fatteh Buruj’ (Bastion of Victory) as it was the first Bastion won by Marathas during this whole campaign.

Impact

This was part of a war that ended the Portuguese “Generalship of the North”. The resulting treaty ensured that Gentoos (Hindus) inhabiting Goa etc. could again freely practice their religion. The English (having failed to aid Portuguese) hastily sent envoys to draw up friendship treaties with marATha-s. This victory came at a heavy cost (22k soldiers dead) and after a determined campaign of 2 years.

A massacre and gang rape of the emigrating Hindus of the then Dinajpur district near Baraihat on 17 April 1971 by the Pakistani army with collaboration from the local Razakars.

Events

In April 1971, a member of the Razakar forces, Kenan Uddin Sarkar of Ramchandrapur village under Parbatipur sub-division of Dinajpur district, assured 50 Hindu families of neighbouring Badarganj, Kholahati, Birampur, Aftabganj and Sherpur of a safe passage to India. He kept the Hindus confined at a place called Baraihat in present-day Phulbari Upazila. The Razakars and the Al-Badr militia looted the money and jewelry from Hindus during their confinement. After that another Razakar, an associate of Kenan Uddin Sarkar informed the Pakistani army. The Pakistani army took the hostage Hindus to Akhira, 100 metres from south of Baraihat. It was about 11 A.M. The Hindus were made to stand in a row beside a pond, the men in one line and the women and children in another. They were burst fired from machine guns. A few children and teenagers who were survived the burst fire, were bayonetted to death. According to eye witness accounts, after gunning down the men, the Pakistani soldiers turned their attention to the females, and brutally gang raped them at that spot.

Aftermath

According to the most conservative reports, the casualty figure is 85. Eight local Muslims, who had witnessed the massacre were also killed later. According to other version, around 125 Hindus died in the massacre.

After the victory in the Liberation War, the local people executed Kenan Uddin Sarkar by the method of Jabiha.

Event occured on 1669-04-18 (gregorian). Julian date was converted to Gregorian in this reckoning.

Shortly after the death of Mirza Raja Jai Singh of Amber, on this day, Awrangzeb issued issued a general order, for the demolition of temples and established schools of the Hindus throughout the empire and banning public worship. Soon after this the great Temple of Keshava Rai was destroyed (Jan.-Feb. 1670) and in its place a lofty mosque was erected. The idols, the author of Maasir-i-Alamgiri informs, were carried to Agra and buried under the steps of the mosque built by Begum Sahiba in order to be continually trodden upon, and the name of Mathura was changed to Islamabad.

Translation of the order

The Lord Cherisher of the Faith learnt that in the provinces of Tatta, Multan and especially at Benares, the Brahman misbelievers used to teach their false books in their established schools, and that admirers and students both Hindu and Muslim used to come from great distances to these misguided men in order to acquire this vile learning. His Majesty, eager to establish Islam, issued orders to the governors of all the provinces to demolish the schools and temples of the infidels and with the utmost urgency put down the teaching and the public practice of the religion of these misbelievers.

Order issued on 8th April 1669 (Date converted to CE for convenience, Hijri Date 17 zilqad 1079 Hijri)

मूलराज-विद्रोहः #१७५

Event occured on 1848-04-18 (gregorian).

Mulraj Chopra, the khatri divAn at multAn loyal to raNajIt singh and family, rebelled against the British on this day.

The revolt was started by a soldier from mUlarAja’s family attacking and wounding two British officers who’d come to take over.

The poet Hakim Chand recites: Then the mother of Mulraj spoke to him reminding him of the Sikh Gurus and martyrs: ‘I will kill myself leaving a curse on your head. Either lead your men to death or get out of my sight; (and) I shall undertake the Khalsa army and go to the battle …’. She tied a bracelet on his wrist and sent him to the battle. Next morning, the mob hacked the two British officers to death. Mulraj presented Vans Agnew’s head to Vitesh Sharma and told him to take it back to Currie at Lahore.

Aftermath: The British chief Currie sent a big detachment of the khalsa under Sher Singh Attariwalla to help the Bengal army in beseiging Multan. However, Sher Singh rebelled as well on Sep 14! However, Sher Singh moved away to fight separately. Mulraj was however defeated by 22nd January. This freed up more artillery for the Birish to use during the decisive Battle of Gujarat.

Observed on Amāvāsyā tithi of Caitraḥ (lunar) month (Aparāhṇaḥ/vyaapti). The event occurred in 4267 (Kali era).

Śrīkaṇṭha, son of Śukadevaśharma on the banks of the river Kunḍī (Kunṭī) was a drāviḍa (a southerner), eloquent, wellversed in scriptures and courageous; having received the initiation into asceticism from the compassionate preceptor Bodhendra with the name Śrī Chandracūḍa, He held the responsibilities of preceptorship on earth by remaining in Kāṅci Maṭha. This preceptor surrounded by eminent scholarpoets Maṅka, Śrī Jayadeva, Kṛṣṇa, Suhala, carrying out digvijaya throughout the earth defeated in debate the exponent of Jainism Hemācārya, whose presence embellished the assembly of King Vidyālola Kumārapāla. This preceptor Śrī Chandracūḍa meditating on the mystic syllable that dispels grief/removes misery, adorning the seat (of preceptor) for sixty-eight years, became Videha by giving up the wondrous physical body on the New moon day in Caitra month of the year Pārthiva in the Kali era 4267. This renowned preceptor followed Śrī Jayadeva, Kṛṣṇamiśra, Suhala and others, adored by King Jayasimha and Kumārapāla, destroyed the arrogance of the Jaina exponent Hemācārya and attained the final beatitude at Aruṇācala.

चिऱुत्तॊण्ड नायऩ्मार् (३६) गुरुपूजै

Observed on Apabharaṇī nakshatra of Mēṣaḥ (sidereal solar) month (Prātaḥ/paraviddha).

Between the 6th and 9th centuries, in South India, there existed 63 ardent devotees of Lord Shiva, collectively known as the Nayanmars. These devout individuals, hailing from various walks of life including potters, fishermen, farmers, merchants, priests, hunters, and washermen, created devotional songs still sung by followers around the globe. Among these Nayanmars, Appar, Sambandar, and Sundarar, known for their Thevaram hymns, along with Manikkavasagar, are distinguished as the Samayacharyas or the ‘The Four’ (ta:nālvar) revered teachers of the faith. They were instrumental in promoting the Shaiva Siddhanta philosophy and culture, effectively challenging the spread of Jainism and Buddhism. Their teachings centered around the concept that Shiva embodies love, and that embracing love for all beings and existence is essential in connecting with Shiva, the Supreme Being.

In Tiruchenkattangudi, within the Chola kingdom, there lived a devout Shaivite named Paranjyoti, belonging to a family of military leaders. He was the commander-in-chief under the Chola king and deeply devoted to Lord Shiva, seeing devotion as the path to liberation.

After a successful military campaign against a Northern Indian king, Paranjyoti returned with spoils, pleasing his king. However, when the king learned of Paranjyoti’s devotion to Lord Shiva, he felt remorse for sending a devotee to war and rewarded Paranjyoti, urging him to focus on spiritual pursuits. Paranjyoti returned to his village and dedicated himself to worshipping Lord Shiva and serving his devotees. He would not eat without first feeding a devotee of Shiva, humbly serving as a servant to them, earning the name Siruthondar (small servant).

Lord Shiva, to reveal Siruthondar’s devotion, tested him by appearing as a Vairavar (a Shaivite ascetic) outside his home. The ascetic refused to enter when only Siruthondar’s maid and wife were home, but agreed to wait near the temple. When Siruthondar returned and learned of the ascetic, he joyfully invited him for food. The ascetic agreed, but put forth harsh conditions — he wanted to eat human flesh, specifically that of a healthy five-year-old boy, the only son of his parents, to be prepared by his parents!

Siruthondar, determined to fulfill the devotee’s request, readily considered his son, who matched the description. His wife agreed, and they sacrificed their son, cooking his flesh for the ascetic. When the ascetic demanded to eat with another devotee, Siruthondar readied himself for the meal! The ascetic’s request then escalated, demanding the presence of Siruthondar’s son at the meal. Following the ascetic’s insistence, Siruthondar called for his son, Sirala, and to everyone’s astonishment, the boy miraculously appeared, alive and unharmed. They found no sign of the ascetic in the kitchen, and the cooked meat had vanished. At that moment, Lord Shiva appeared, blessing Siruthondar and his family, and took them to His divine abode.

कुमारसिंहो विहस्तः #१६५

Event occured on 1858-04-21 (gregorian).

On this day, Kunwar Singh, masterfully deceiving the british forces, crossed gangA into bihAr. He had spread word that there are no boats and that he would cross the river with elephants at a different spot, even as he gathered boats at a differnt point. Douglas' army caught up and began to shoot at their boat. One of the bullets shattered Singh’s left wrist. Singh felt that his hand had become useless and that there was the additional risk of infection due to the bullet-shot. He drew his sword and cut off his left hand near the elbow and offered it to the Ganges.

Event occured on 1992-04-22 (gregorian).

On this day, a local new paper of Ajmer, Dainik Navajyoti, broke the news about grooming and rape of several hundred (mostly Hindu) girls orchestrated by a gang of youth (main accused belonging to the khAdim family of the Islamic Ajmer DargAh, who also happened to be local leaders of Congress (I)). These (as well as subsequent events) were reminiscent of later infamous grooming of UK Kafirs by (mainly pAkistani) Muslim men in UK.

The scandal had come to police attention a year earlier - but they took scant action, blaming reticence of victims and possibility of hindu-muslim riots. Among those who eventually faced trial were Among those who face trial are Farooq Chishtee, president of the Ajmer Youth Congress, Nafis Chishtee and Anwar Chishtee, vice-president and joint secretary respectively of the city unit.

Context and events
  • Ajmer was ahead of time in modernity - and the reason was prestigious colleges like Mayo, Sophia and Savitri college.
  • It started with girls (1990) being lured by expensive gifts, (initially Farooq Chisti) bringing the girl-friend to a farmhouse, another boy taking intimate pictures, subsequent blackmail and rape, followed by pressure to lure another young girl and so on (eg. Rashmi → Sunita → Madhuri). This cascaded to hundreds of girls being raped.
  • There were 8-10 boys in the gang : Farooq, Nafees, Anwar, Puttan, Salim, Ishrat, Shamshusdin, Suhail etc.
  • A victim, Madhuri (pseudonym), had informed a police constable and a special branch officer in the first half of 1991. But she started getting threatening phone calls. When trying to recover the photographs, an accused even sauntered up in front of the police and said “they’ve played this game before”; the photos were not returned. She eventually moved to a different city.
  • Influencial lechers, including policemen and businessmen got wind of it, and the grooming rape operation expanded and shifted to a famous Ajmer club.
  • Eventually, 6 girl students committed suicide by hanging. Later still, one burned herself to death in a major street.
  • Photo copies were sent by a shocked neighbor of the reel developer to VHP and Dainik Navjyoti.
  • Finally, journalist Santosh Kumar Gupta and editor DB Choudhary of Dainik Navjyoti broke the story. 24 days later, they followed up by publishing pictures of local girls, which had been circulating. “Finally, we decided to go ahead because it was the only way to shake the administration and police out of their slumber.” said the editor. Other newspapers followed suit.
Aftermath
  • Ajmer erupted into bandhs and rallies. On 27 May, police invoked the National Security Act (NSA) to arrest 8 of the accused.
  • No girl came for FIR initially - but eventually a handful of the girls turned up. Ajmer Mahila Samooh, who tried to take up the victim’s cause, withdrew after receiving threats.
  • 18 persons were accused by the police. Few of them were: Farooq Chisti, Salim, Mojiulla, Ishart Ali, Anwar, Shamsudin (Maradona), Nafees Chisti, Suhail, Purshottam (photo reel developer), Mahesh Ludhani (Owner of Photo color lab), Harish tulani. 15 were nabbed.
  • Ajmer, and its top schools fell into disrepute. People used to enquire at newspaper office - humari ladki ki bhi photo hai kya? “No one wanted to marry girls from Ajmer.” said Gupta.
    • Boarding facilities of Savitri School and Sophia School have remained shut down.
  • Eventually, on the order of CM, police raided on all video parlors and confiscated many video cassettes and pictures.
  • A journalist madan singh, running “Lehro ki barkha” tabloid, published more pics. He even allegedly tried to blackmail the girls. He fell out with powerful accomplices, named some politicians, and was assassinated with a shotgun and two pistols on 12th Sep 1992 (after attempts on his life had begun on Sep 4).
Trial
  • During trial, most of the girls who had come forward backed off. 2 remained. In 1998, Sessions Judge of Ajmer found all the accused guilty and sentenced them to life imprisonment. In 2001, High court acquitted Parvez Ansari, Mahesh Ludhani, Kailash Soni and Harish Tolani of all the charges levelled against them. Also reduced the sentence of 4 out of 8 accused from life imprisonment to 10 years. HC kept life imprisonment only for 4 accused Puttan, Ishrat, Anwar and Shamshuddin (Meradona). The main accused and mastermind Farooq Chisti supposedly “lost his mental balance” and trial against him was put on hold. He was later tried in 2007, given a punishment of 10 years imprisonment, and later in 2013 acquitted since he’d spent a “long time” in jail.
  • In 2003, Supreme court reduced the sentence of remaining 4 accused who got life imprisonment to 10 years. So the final judgement was 10 years imprisonment to 8 accused.
  • Nafis Chishty, also wanted for drug peddling, was nabbed wearing a burqa in 2003. Iqbal Bhat, evaded arrest until 2005. Salim Chisti (rapes started in his farm house) was caught in 2012.
  • Suhail Ghani Chishty was caught in 2018.
  • Those who completed their 10 year term are still living a luxurious life in Ajmer. As of 2022, Nafis Chishty, Iqbal Bhat, Saleem Chishty, Sayed Jamir Hussain, Naseem aka Tarzan, and Suhail Ghani — were undergoing trial in POCSO court, but they were all out on bail. Santosh Gupta said: “Nafis and Farooq Chishty are leading a privileged life in Ajmer and are frequent visitors to Dargah Sharif, where some of the faithful still ritualistically kiss their hands”.
  • The two witnesses, who have had to come to court for 30 years, suffered the most - one of them suffered a breakdown in court in late 2021. In 2005, witness “Krishnabala” disappeared. Another became pregnant, was raped again, became pregnant again (the child died), was threatened on the streets, before withdrawing.

When a tripādanakṣatra is conjoined with a bhadrā tithi i.e. dvitīyā, saptamī or dvādaśī, and this falls on a Tuesday, Sunday or Saturday, it is known as a tripuṣkara-yōgaḥ. When only two of these coincide, it is known as dvipuṣkara. These are specially auspicious times, and are excluded for aparakarmas such as ūnamāsikaśrāddham.

कुमारसिंहो जगदीशपुरं जयति #१६५

Event occured on 1858-04-23 (gregorian).

Kunwar Singh, aged 80 and one-handed (having cut off and offered his wounded hand to gangA devI in an earlier battle a few days earlier), utterly routed Captain le Grand’s forces (with 2 howitzers) with his little army of about two thousand men - dispirited and badly armed. Le Grand used his guns and an infantry charge into the jungle to no avail. On 22 and 23 April, being injured he fought bravely against the British Army and with the help of his army drove away the British Army, brought down the Union Jack from Jagdispur Fort and hoisted his flag.

On 26 April 1858 he died in his village. The mantle of the old chief now fell on his brother Amar Singh II who, despite heavy odds, continued the struggle and for a considerable time, running a parallel government in the district of Shahabad. In October 1859, Amar Singh II joined the rebel leaders in the Nepal Terai.

Between the 6th and 9th centuries, in South India, there existed 63 ardent devotees of Lord Shiva, collectively known as the Nayanmars. These devout individuals, hailing from various walks of life including potters, fishermen, farmers, merchants, priests, hunters, and washermen, created devotional songs still sung by followers around the globe. Among these Nayanmars, Appar, Sambandar, and Sundarar, known for their Thevaram hymns, along with Manikkavasagar, are distinguished as the Samayacharyas or the ‘The Four’ (ta:nālvar) revered teachers of the faith. They were instrumental in promoting the Shaiva Siddhanta philosophy and culture, effectively challenging the spread of Jainism and Buddhism. Their teachings centered around the concept that Shiva embodies love, and that embracing love for all beings and existence is essential in connecting with Shiva, the Supreme Being.

Mangaiyarkarasiyar, the 50th of the Nayanmars was the wife of another Nayanmar, Ninra Seer Nadumara Nayanmar, who was earlier known as Koon Pandyan, the hunchbacked Pandyan king of Madurai. Tiru Jnana Sambandar, a revered Nayanmar, arrived in Madurai and was invited into the city by Kulacchirai Nayanmar. Despite attempts by the Jains to harm Sambandar, his divine singing miraculously cured the king of his hunchback and alleviated his pain, leading to his return to Shaivism. Following his conversion, the king conquered northern kings at Tirunelveli, spreading Shaivism in those regions with the support of his wife. Both he and Mangayarkarasiyar deeply revered Sambandar and their dedication to their guru and Shaivism ultimately brought them divine grace.

तुघ्रलखान-पलायनम् #७७९

Event occured on 1244-04-23 (gregorian). Julian date was converted to Gregorian in this reckoning.

Small commando units (one of them 100 infantry and 50 cavalry) of Odisha’s Eastern Ganga Dynasty king Gajapati Narasimhadeva-I, pounced on a big Mamluk force under Tughril Khan (fooled into complacency by a faux retreat) near Katasin/Contai fort (near South Bengal). The Gajapati’s army then chased them all the way out of South Bengal (all the way beyond lakhnor fort, 70 miles away).

####### Context Narasimhadeva had laid a siege on Lakhanuti(Bengal) for the first time in Nov 1243. This shocked the Mamluk Governor Tughril Tughan Khan, who had to gather his forces and gave the clarion of Islamic jihAd against the Gajapati. The Ganga army hd to retreat till Katasin(Contai) of South West Bengal. The Mamluk army was overjoyed as they had apparently forced the Eastern Ganga army to withdraw, and camped near the Katasin fort. They weren’t aware that it was a fake retreat. The Mamluks weren’t alert and were infact quite excited on seeing the war elephants left behind for free.

सोममृगशीर्ष-योगः

When Mrgashirsha nakshatra falls on a Monday, it is a special yōgaḥ. In the cyclic rotation of time, along with the bad combinations of grahas and nakshatras that indicate the probability of upcoming difficulties, good combinations that grant benefits in multiples also arise. Among such good combinations are the Amrita Siddhi yogas of certain weekdays and nakshatras. They are Sunday-Hasta, Monday-Mrigashirsha, Tuesday-Ashvini, Wednesday-Anuradha, Thursday-Pushya, Friday-Revati, Saturday-Rohini. As per the reading sōmaśrāvaṇyām in the same verse, Monday-Shravana is also praised as a special yoga. Good deeds performed on such yogas become especially strong in protecting and nourishing us. For instance, in Devi Atharvashirsha, it is said bhaumāśvinyāṁ mahādevī-sannidhau japtvā mahāmr̥tyuṁ tarati, that is, one can cross even mahāmr̥tyu by doing parayanam when Tuesday and Ashvini join.

विदुराश्वत्थ-हत्या #८५

Event occured on 1938-04-25 (gregorian).

British police shot and killed peaceful protestors intending host the tricolour at vidurAshvattha near GauribidanUr.

Events

Inspired by the Shivapura satyagraha, on April 25, 1938, a group of Indian National Congress leaders and villagers from neighbouring Hindupur and Gauribidanur decided to take out a similar procession at Vidurashwatha. The local jatre was also underway at the time, and had drawn thousands of people. The group planned to hoist the flag among the trees behind the temple. Officials caught wind of the planned dhwaja satyagraha and imposed prohibitory orders in the area. Yet, hundreds waited under the shade of trees in the sun to hoist the flag.

An hour later, a police battalion arrived. From 1.30 pm to 5.30 pm, they fired 96 rounds of bullets. Official British figures say around 10 people were killed. “However, the death of 32 villagers has been documented, including Gowramma, a nine-month pregnant woman,” said C Nagaratna, former school principal and member of the Swatantrya Smaraka Abhivrudhi Samiti, which maintains the museum. Eyewitness accounts estimate that over 100 people were killed that day, she said.

Aftermath

Several of the bodies were retrieved during the night. Victims were undercounted the next day. A memorial was built at the site in 2009, with names of martyrs engraved on a plaque.

विऱऩ्मिण्ड नायऩ्मार् (६) गुरुपूजै

Observed on Ārdrā nakshatra of Mēṣaḥ (sidereal solar) month (Prātaḥ/paraviddha).

Between the 6th and 9th centuries, in South India, there existed 63 ardent devotees of Lord Shiva, collectively known as the Nayanmars. These devout individuals, hailing from various walks of life including potters, fishermen, farmers, merchants, priests, hunters, and washermen, created devotional songs still sung by followers around the globe. Among these Nayanmars, Appar, Sambandar, and Sundarar, known for their Thevaram hymns, along with Manikkavasagar, are distinguished as the Samayacharyas or the ‘The Four’ (ta:nālvar) revered teachers of the faith. They were instrumental in promoting the Shaiva Siddhanta philosophy and culture, effectively challenging the spread of Jainism and Buddhism. Their teachings centered around the concept that Shiva embodies love, and that embracing love for all beings and existence is essential in connecting with Shiva, the Supreme Being.

Viralminda Nayanmar was the 6th of the Nayanmars, born in the hilly region of Sengunru and belonging to a Vellala family. He was a devout follower of Lord Shiva. He transcended ego and possessiveness and possessed a vision of equality, focusing his devotion on serving the devotees of Lord Shiva, which he considered as significant as, if not more so than, worshipping Lord Shiva directly. He believed that grace from Shiva was unattainable without first honoring His devotees and that disrespecting these devotees could obstruct one’s path to salvation. Viralminda Nayanmar upheld this belief by first worshipping Shiva Bhaktas at the temple before offering prayers to the deity.

On a pilgrimage to Tiruvarur, Viralminda Nayanmar witnessed Sundaramurthi Nayanmar, another devotee, entering the sanctum sanctorum of the temple without acknowledging the other devotees present. Perceiving this as an insult to the Bhaktas, Viralminda Nayanmar boldly reprimanded Sundarar and declared him, and even Lord Shiva, as outcasts for accepting such worship. This act was seen as an expression of Lord Shiva’s will, teaching the importance of respecting His devotees.

Sundarar, recognizing Viralminda Nayanmar’s profound devotion and understanding, prostrated before him and sang a hymn in his praise. This gesture softened Viralminda Nayanmar’s heart, leading him to acknowledge Sundarar’s sincere devotion. Lord Shiva, pleased with Viralminda Nayanmar’s unwavering devotion to His Bhaktas, elevated him to lead the Shiva Ganas in the divine realm. This story highlights the paramount importance of devotion to Lord Shiva’s devotees in the path of spiritual elevation.

  • 06:58→

When Pushya nakshatra falls on a Thursday, it is a special yōgaḥ. When Rohini nakshatra falls on a Saturday, it is a special yōgaḥ. In the cyclic rotation of time, along with the bad combinations of grahas and nakshatras that indicate the probability of upcoming difficulties, good combinations that grant benefits in multiples also arise. Among such good combinations are the Amrita Siddhi yogas of certain weekdays and nakshatras. They are Sunday-Hasta, Monday-Mrigashirsha, Tuesday-Ashvini, Wednesday-Anuradha, Thursday-Pushya, Friday-Revati, Saturday-Rohini. Good deeds performed on such yogas become especially strong in protecting and nourishing us. For instance, in Devi Atharvashirsha, it is said bhaumāśvinyāṁ mahādevī-sannidhau japtvā mahāmr̥tyuṁ tarati, that is, one can cross even mahāmr̥tyu by doing parayanam when Tuesday and Ashvini join.

सिद्दि-सात-वधः #२८७

Event occured on 1736-04-29 (gregorian). Julian date was converted to Gregorian in this reckoning.

On this day, in the battle of Charai/ Chahrai/ Charegaum/ Kamorle/ marand janjira was forced upon a surprised siddi sAt; and the evil Siddi sAt was killed by chimnAjI appa’s forces the next day.

Events

Chimnaji Appa under took the work seriously.
Learning that Siddi Sat had left his base at Anjanvel and moved with all his forces threatening Kolaba, the renowned stronghold built by Shivaji, he diverted his course towards the enemy’s quarters and suddenly attacked Siddi Sat as he was encamped near Rewas. The latter had no alternative but to face Chimnaji Appa’s 3x cavalry in an open sight. A bloody action ensued at the villages of Charegaum and Kamarlen, in which Siddi Sat was killed while defending him self valiantly. More than 1300 of his brave followers were slain, including Siddi Yakut the defender of Underi, and a much larger number wounded.

No.192 - 2 May 1736 (Gregorian?) Chimaji writing about the battle of Charai, where the Siddi Sat was killed.

Siddi Sat, with his full force came to Revas. We attacked and destroyed it. 60 men were in entrenchments, who were killed. Manaji Angre fought a battle. We lost a good officer. (Not Manaji). 2 more engagements were fought. 50-55 men fell on our side among Angre’s forces. The Habshi’s province was captured and pillaged.

He planned to attack Rajkot. Rajashri Sambhaji Angre was already deployed against him. As soon as Rajashri Angre’s letter arrived, we immediately marched fast and intercepted his force near Poyna.

On the next day, Siddi Sat with his handpicked forces of around 1500 came to the village of Charai. We deployed our men. The Siddis are a brave people. They endured our firepower and came at us boldly. We lost many men and horses, but with the Swami’s blessings, the Siddi Sat was killed. Among his officers, Davkod Naik, Subanji Ghatga, Faim, and Balaji Shenvi were killed. We killed some 1200 to 1300 of his soldiers. Rajashri Angre also reached the battlefield in time. His men also joined in the fray, as I have written earlier. Krishnaji Ghatga’s death was written about, earlier, but Krishnaji Bodke escaped. The remaining sardars and jematdars were also killed. His son also escaped by diving into the river and swimming away. The Habshis have taken a major setback.

Context

siddi sAt, a competent admiral, was an evil Islamist. He had on shivarAtri day of 1727, surprised the celebrations, demolished the parashurAma temple in chiplun and tortrued + killed several brAhmaNa-s, rousing the ire of svAmI brahmendra and much of marAThas.

Aftermath

This signal victory over the implacable Siddi who had destroyed the famous Hindu shrine of Parashuram, roused all Maharashtra to heights of ecstasy and carned an imperishable fame for Chimnaji Appa. There was great jubiliation in the marATha capital.

Saying

“By killing Siddi Sat, a demon of the type of Ravana, you have uprooted the very life of the Siddis and earned an undying fame."

Shahu showered upon Chimnaji honours, costly ornaments and dresses, including a sword set with diamonds. The event naturally unnerved the Siddis of Janjira and induced them to seek a humiliating peace with the Peshwa. Anjanvel and Govalkot alone remained as their mainland posts, and came to be captured much later by Tulaji Angria in January 1745, so that Brahmendra Swami could have a happy death in 1746 after seeing his wrongs fully avenged.

वेङ्कटाचले पद्मावती-परिणयोत्सव-प्रारम्भः (गज-वाहनम्)

The celestial wedding of Lord Srinivasa and Goddess Padmavati is a grand festival held annually in the month of Vaishakha. The beautifully adorned Parinayotsavam Mandapam, set amidst the Narayanagiri gardens, serves as the enchanting venue for this three-day event, celebrated under the moonlit sky. The festivities unfold on the auspicious days of Navami, Dashami, and Ekadashi in the month of Vaishakha, featuring Sri Malayappaswami, Lord Venkateshwara’s festival deity. Each day, he makes a grand entrance on different Vahanas: the Gaja (elephant), Ashva (horse), and Garuda (eagle), while Goddesses Sridevi and Bhudevi grace the event on separate palanquins.

Following the wedding rituals at the Parinayotsava Mandapam, a traditional ‘Koluvu’ gathering takes place, filled with the recitation of Vedic hymns and devotional songs. The Lord, accompanied by Sridevi and Bhudevi, then majestically returns to the temple.

Each day’s festivities are marked by unique traditional rituals. On the first day, the arrival of Lord Sri Malayappa Swami on the celestial Gaja Vahanam, along with his consorts on their palanquins, is a sight to behold. The traditional wedding ceremony is conducted, where the Lord is seated in the ornately decorated Parinaya Mandapam, with his consorts positioned opposite him.

The ceremony includes several traditional rituals such as Edurukolu (mutual reception), Pula Bantata (game of flower balls), and Vastra Dharanam (offering of new clothes). These customs are observed over all three days. The grand finale of the divine marriage is marked by a spectacular display of fireworks, adding to the ceremony’s splendor. The event concludes with a procession where Lord Malayappa Swami, along with Goddesses Sridevi and Bhudevi, return to the main temple.

Event occured on 2006-04-30 (gregorian).

In the first attack 22 unarmed Hindu villagers, mostly shepherds or their families, were lined up and gunned down by terrorists (allegedly belonging to Lashkar-e-Taiba [Army of the Pure]) in Thawa village in Kulhand area of Doda district. The victims included a 3-year-old girl.

जमरूद-युद्धे हरिसिंहो मृतः #१८६

Event occured on 1837-04-30 (gregorian).

On this day, Hari Singh Nalwa died defending the Jamrud garrisson against a superior afghAn force. Nalwa supposedly ordered his dead body to be hung outside the fort before he died, discouraging the Afghans from attacking, believing Nalwa was still alive. The Sikh garrison continued fighting until Sikh reinforcements arrived from Lahore and pushed the Afghans out.

Context

Towards the end of 1836, Sardar Hari Singh Nalwa attacked and captured the small, but very strategic, fortified Khyberi village of Jamrud, situated on the south-side of a range of mountains at the mouth of the Khyber Pass. In 1837, major portions of the Sikh Army was recalled to Lahore for the wedding of Kanwar Nau Nihal Singh, the grandson of Maharaja Ranjit Singh (supposed show of force to the British). Emir of Afghanistan, Dost Mohammad Khan, accompanied by five of his sons, rushed with his army to drive the Sikhs out of Peshawar.

वेङ्कटाचले पद्मावती-परिणयम् (अश्व-वाहनम्)

Observed on Śukla-Daśamī tithi of Vaiśākhaḥ (lunar) month (Sūryōdayaḥ/puurvaviddha).

The celestial wedding of Lord Srinivasa and Goddess Padmavati is a grand festival held annually in the month of Vaishakha. The beautifully adorned Parinayotsavam Mandapam, set amidst the Narayanagiri gardens, serves as the enchanting venue for this three-day event, celebrated under the moonlit sky. The festivities unfold on the auspicious days of Navami, Dashami, and Ekadashi in the month of Vaishakha, featuring Sri Malayappaswami, Lord Venkateshwara’s festival deity. Each day, he makes a grand entrance on different Vahanas: the Gaja (elephant), Ashva (horse), and Garuda (eagle), while Goddesses Sridevi and Bhudevi grace the event on separate palanquins.

Following the wedding rituals at the Parinayotsava Mandapam, a traditional ‘Koluvu’ gathering takes place, filled with the recitation of Vedic hymns and devotional songs. The Lord, accompanied by Sridevi and Bhudevi, then majestically returns to the temple.

Each day’s festivities are marked by unique traditional rituals. On the first day, the arrival of Lord Sri Malayappa Swami on the celestial Gaja Vahanam, along with his consorts on their palanquins, is a sight to behold. The traditional wedding ceremony is conducted, where the Lord is seated in the ornately decorated Parinaya Mandapam, with his consorts positioned opposite him.

The ceremony includes several traditional rituals such as Edurukolu (mutual reception), Pula Bantata (game of flower balls), and Vastra Dharanam (offering of new clothes). These customs are observed over all three days. The grand finale of the divine marriage is marked by a spectacular display of fireworks, adding to the ceremony’s splendor. The event concludes with a procession where Lord Malayappa Swami, along with Goddesses Sridevi and Bhudevi, return to the main temple.

मरद-हत्या #२१

Event occured on 2002-05-02 (gregorian).

On 2 May 2003, in the early evening, eight Hindus were hacked to death by a Muslim mob on the Marad beach in Kerala after reeling in their catch for the day. One attacker, Mohammed Ashker, was hit by accident and was also killed. The attackers also threw bombs with the intention of inflicting more deaths, but the bombs did not explode.

Background

On 3 and 4 January 2002 at Marad, three Hindus and two Muslims were killed in a sudden breach of peace due to scuffles between two groups that began as a trivial altercation over drinking water at the public tap.

Aftermath

Later, police unearthed a huge cache of weapons including 17 bombs. The police commissioner, TK Vinod Kumar stated: “It was an operation carried out by a well-knit organization. It was a quick and sudden attack which was over in 10 minutes.”.

The judicial commission ( Justice Thomas) that probed the incident concluded that leaders of the Indian Union Muslim League were directly involved in both the conspiracy and execution of the massacre. Chief Minister A. K. Antony opposed any CBI probe into the massacre.

The courts on 27 December 2008 and 15 January 2009 sentenced 62 Muslims to life imprisonment for committing the massacre in 2009 – most of whom belonged to the Indian Union Muslim League, People’s Democratic Party, and National Development Front. 76 were acquitted for lack of evidence.

इचैञाऩियार् नायऩ्मार् (६३) गुरुपूजै

Observed on Citrā nakshatra of Mēṣaḥ (sidereal solar) month (Prātaḥ/paraviddha).

Between the 6th and 9th centuries, in South India, there existed 63 ardent devotees of Lord Shiva, collectively known as the Nayanmars. These devout individuals, hailing from various walks of life including potters, fishermen, farmers, merchants, priests, hunters, and washermen, created devotional songs still sung by followers around the globe. Among these Nayanmars, Appar, Sambandar, and Sundarar, known for their Thevaram hymns, along with Manikkavasagar, are distinguished as the Samayacharyas or the ‘The Four’ (ta:nālvar) revered teachers of the faith. They were instrumental in promoting the Shaiva Siddhanta philosophy and culture, effectively challenging the spread of Jainism and Buddhism. Their teachings centered around the concept that Shiva embodies love, and that embracing love for all beings and existence is essential in connecting with Shiva, the Supreme Being.

In the region of Tirunavalur in Tirumuraipadi, there lived a devout Adi Shaiva named Sadayanar, whose lineage was known for its deep devotion to Lord Shiva. Sadayanar, embodying the same piety and dedication, was married to Isaijnaniyar, a woman equally devoted to the Lord. Their virtuous past actions blessed them with a divine child, who was none other than Sundaramurthi Nayanmar.

The child’s striking beauty caught the attention of Narasinga Munaiyar, the local king, who expressed a desire to raise the child himself. Demonstrating their detachment from worldly attachments, Sadayanar and Isaijnaniyar willingly entrusted their child to the king without hesitation. This couple exemplified the ideal life of householders, focusing on spiritual devotion and ultimately earning the grace of the Divine.

तिरुक्कुऱिप्पुत् तॊण्ड नायऩ्मार् (१९) गुरुपूजै

Observed on Svātī nakshatra of Mēṣaḥ (sidereal solar) month (Prātaḥ/paraviddha).

Between the 6th and 9th centuries, in South India, there existed 63 ardent devotees of Lord Shiva, collectively known as the Nayanmars. These devout individuals, hailing from various walks of life including potters, fishermen, farmers, merchants, priests, hunters, and washermen, created devotional songs still sung by followers around the globe. Among these Nayanmars, Appar, Sambandar, and Sundarar, known for their Thevaram hymns, along with Manikkavasagar, are distinguished as the Samayacharyas or the ‘The Four’ (ta:nālvar) revered teachers of the faith. They were instrumental in promoting the Shaiva Siddhanta philosophy and culture, effectively challenging the spread of Jainism and Buddhism. Their teachings centered around the concept that Shiva embodies love, and that embracing love for all beings and existence is essential in connecting with Shiva, the Supreme Being.

Tiru Kurippu Thondar, a washerman from Kanchipuram, was renowned for his extraordinary devotion to Lord Shiva. He earned his name by diligently serving Shiva devotees, washing their clothes and understanding their needs with just a glimpse of their faces.

Lord Shiva, wanting to bless Tiru Kurippu Thondar, disguised Himself as a poor Shiva devotee and presented him with a dirty rag to wash. He demanded that the rag be returned before sunset, threatening to perish in the cold if it wasn’t.

Unfortunately, just as Tiru Kurippu Thondar finished washing the rag, a heavy downpour began, making it impossible to dry it before sunset. Devastated by the thought of failing his service to the devotee, Tiru Kurippu Thondar dashed his head against a washing stone and wept in despair.

Moved by his sincere devotion, Lord Shiva revealed Himself to Tiruthondar, commending his devotion and promising him a place in His divine abode. Overwhelmed with joy and gratitude, Tiruthondar fell at Lord Shiva’s feet and sang His praises, celebrating the divine encounter.

वासायि-युद्ध-समाप्तिः #२८४

Event occured on 1739-05-05 (gregorian).

Chimaji Appa ground down the Portuguese, systematically mined, blasted and won vasAi/ bessein (long suffering Christian inquisition barbarisms).

Impact

This ended the Portuguese “Generalship of the North”. The resulting treaty ensured that Gentoos (Hindus) inhabiting Goa etc. could again freely practice their religion. The English (having failed to aid Portuguese) hastily sent envoys to draw up friendship treaties with marATha-s. This victory came at a heavy cost (22k soldiers dead) and after a determined campaign of 2 years.

Events

“On the 3rd, the tower of San Sebastian was demolished by a Maratha mine. Eight hundred Portuguese soldiers had been killed and their powerful bastions of San Sebastian and Remedios lay demolished. The white flag was hoisted on the fort and on the 5th of May 1739, the garrison surrendered. Ten days later, they were allowed to march out of Vasai into boats which would take them to Goa.” - AG’s book.

“On the 23rd of May 1739 (seemingly an auspicious day - pUrNimA as per Gregorian?), the Portuguese flag which had flown atop Vasai or Bacaim as the Portuguese called it, was pulled down and the zari parka unfurled in it’s place. A bell from the church on the fort was taken and re installed as a temple bell at Bhimashankar! Other bells were sent to other temples.”

सोमनाथ-मन्दिर-पुनर्-उद्घाटनम् #७२

Event occured on 1951-05-11 (gregorian).

On 11th May 1951, the first President of India Sri Rajendra Prasad ji reopened the ancient Jyotirlinga Kshetram of Somnath in Gujarat. It was reconsecrated after several centuries!

Strong opposition came from Nehru! He didn’t want him to go for this inauguration. But the President was a very determined man of Dharma. He even lead the procession to the temple!

Context

The ancient temple was raided, plundered and looted over 17 times by Muhammad of Ghazni. It was a great source of shame for Hindus. For some time the place came under the control of the Nawab of Junagarh. He wouldn’t allow any reconstruction! After Junagarh joined India in Oct 1947, Patel announced at a public meeting:

“On this auspicious day of the New Year, we have decided that Somnath should be reconstructed. You, people of Saurashtra, should do your best. This is a holy task in which all should participate!”

तिरुनावुक्करछ नायऩ्मार् (२१) गुरुपूजै

Observed on Śatabhiṣak nakshatra of Mēṣaḥ (sidereal solar) month (Prātaḥ/paraviddha).

Between the 6th and 9th centuries, in South India, there existed 63 ardent devotees of Lord Shiva, collectively known as the Nayanmars. These devout individuals, hailing from various walks of life including potters, fishermen, farmers, merchants, priests, hunters, and washermen, created devotional songs still sung by followers around the globe. Among these Nayanmars, Appar (Thirunavukkarasar), Sambandar, and Sundarar, known for their Thevaram hymns, along with Manikkavachakar, are distinguished as the Samayacharyas or the ‘The Four’ (ta:nālvar) revered teachers of the faith. They were instrumental in promoting the Shaiva Siddhanta philosophy and culture, effectively challenging the spread of Jainism and Buddhism. Their teachings centered around the concept that Shiva embodies love, and that embracing love for all beings and existence is essential in connecting with Shiva, the Supreme Being.

Appar, also known as Tiru Navukkarasar, was a 7th-century Shaiva Samaya Acharya (Shaivite spiritual teacher) and the 21st of the Nayanmars. Born as Maruneekkiyar in a Vellalar family of Shaivites in Tiruvamur village, his early life was marked by tragedy with the death of his father, mother’s Sati, and the death his sister’s betrothed groom. Despite these hardships, Appar turned to spirituality, mastering Shastras and initially converting to Jainism. His sister, Tilakavathiar, a devoted follower of Lord Shiva, prayed for his return to Shaivism.

Appar’s conversion back to Shaivism was catalysed by a severe illness, cured by his sister’s prayers and devotion to Lord Shiva. He then became a fervent devotee, composing hymns and embracing the Panchakshara Mantra. His devotion led him into conflicts with Jains, resulting in several attempts on his life, including being thrown into a lime kiln, poisoned, and cast into the sea with a stone tied to him. Miraculously, he survived each attempt, further strengthening his faith.

He met with another great Nayanmar, Tiru Jnanasambandar, and together they worshipped at various temples, furthering the cause of Shaivism. Appar’s journey was marked by divine experiences and miracles, including reviving a child from the dead and enduring tests by Lord Shiva, who tried to tempt him with worldly pleasures. Appar remained steadfast in his devotion, living a life of unwavering faith and service to Lord Shiva until he attained mukti at the age of 81, in the Agnipureeshwarar Shiva Temple in Thirupugalur.

When the transit of the Sun (saṅkrānti) happens in the first half of the day (pūrvāhṇa) or after midnight of the previous day, the first half of the day is a puṇyakāla for various observances. In addition to 16 ghatikas on either side of the transition, and specific puṇyakālas like ṣaḍaśīti, viṣṇupadī etc., this is also useful, especially in cases where the other puṇyakālas are inconvenient for appropriate performance of rituals such as snāna, dāna, tarpaṇa, etc.

काञ्ची ३ जगद्गुरु श्री-सर्वज्ञात्मेन्द्र सरस्वती आराधना #२३८७

Observed on Kr̥ṣṇa-Caturdaśī tithi of Vaiśākhaḥ (lunar) month (Aparāhṇaḥ/vyaapti). The event occurred in 2738 (Kali era).

This Sarvajñātman, who was born to Vardhana got initiated into asceticism even before the age of seven by Śrī Śaṅkara himself on being delighted to have had debate with him on the banks of river Tāmraparṇi; he spent seventy years along with Sureśvara in that Pīṭha and then lived in that Maṭha for forty two years. The sage known as Sarvajña attained union with his own Self by doing service at the lotus feet of Śrī Padmapāda, who was dear to the Ācārya (Śrī Śaṅkara) and imparting the unparallel doctrine through Cinmudrā to the saint by name Brahmasvarūpa who served with love and faith at the feet of the master who was holding the pontiff-dom of the Dvāravatī maṭha. The sage Sarvajñātman whose works such as Saṁkṣepaśārīraka showed clearly/elaborately the collective meaning of the words hidden in the great commentatorial works on Advaita merged in the Supreme on the fourteenth day of the dark fortnight in the month of Vaiśākha in the Nala year of the Kali era 2737 at Kāñci Śrī Śaṅkara Maṭha.

कऴऱ्चिङ्ग नायऩ्मार् (५३) गुरुपूजै

Observed on Apabharaṇī nakshatra of Vr̥ṣabhaḥ (sidereal solar) month (Prātaḥ/paraviddha).

Between the 6th and 9th centuries, in South India, there existed 63 ardent devotees of Lord Shiva, collectively known as the Nayanmars. These devout individuals, hailing from various walks of life including potters, fishermen, farmers, merchants, priests, hunters, and washermen, created devotional songs still sung by followers around the globe. Among these Nayanmars, Appar, Sambandar, and Sundarar, known for their Thevaram hymns, along with Manikkavasagar, are distinguished as the Samayacharyas or the ‘The Four’ (ta:nālvar) revered teachers of the faith. They were instrumental in promoting the Shaiva Siddhanta philosophy and culture, effectively challenging the spread of Jainism and Buddhism. Their teachings centered around the concept that Shiva embodies love, and that embracing love for all beings and existence is essential in connecting with Shiva, the Supreme Being.

Kazharsinga Nayanmar, a devout follower of Lord Shiva and a Pallava king from the Kadavar lineage, was instrumental in spreading Shaivism by conquering northern kingdoms. During one of his many pilgrimages, he visited the Tiruvarur temple with his queen. While circumambulating the temple, the queen unintentionally smelt a flower fallen on the ground, designated for Lord Shiva’s worship. Seruthunai Nayanmar, a dedicated Vellala devotee serving in the temple, saw this as a disrespectful act towards Lord Shiva and impulsively cut off the queen’s nose as a penalty for her indiscretion.

Alarmed by his queen’s cries, King Kazharsinga rushed to the scene. Upon understanding the situation from Seruthunai Nayanmar, who explained the queen’s act, the king deemed the punishment insufficient and further punished the queen by severing her hand that had touched the flower! This extreme act of devotion from both the king and Seruthunai Nayanmar was celebrated by the people, and they were showered with celestial flowers as a mark of divine approval. Both Kazharsinga Nayanmar and Seruthunai Nayanmar earned the grace of Lord Shiva for their unwavering devotion. Lord Shiva appeared and took Kazharsinga Nayanmar with Him, while also restoring the queen’s nose and hand.

Event occured on 2000-05-19 (gregorian).

On this day, Indigenous Christian Fijians led by failed businessman George Speight effected a coup, triggering the removal of the Hindu-fijian led multi-ethnic government.

Context
  • Since the 1987 coup, many Indo Fijians had fled. In 1997, racially discriminatory provisions in the constitution were removed. A Hindu-led multi-ethnic government formed.
  • Many Indigenous Christian Fijians did not liek this. They were additionally supported by the Church and the native Chiefs.
  • The Indians had continued to neglect participation in the Army for many decades (Their demanding equal pay as Euroeans during WW2 caused the British to disband the Indian platoon).
  • Also, Indian Total Fertility Rate (which was initially higher than the natives) had fallen.
Aftermath
  • The ensuing chaos caused the military under Commodore Frank Bainimarama to effect coup and restore order. They scrapped the 1997 constitution. This was reversed in the courts. However, succeeding govrnments (via Reconciliation Tolerance and Unity Bill, Qoliqoli Bill and the Land Tribunal Bill) were lenient towards the initial usurpers.
  • In 2006, after ultimatums which were ignored, Commodore Frank Bainimarama and aides effected a military coup, clipped the wings of the Methodist Church and Council of Chiefs, and eventually rewrote the constitution replacing the race-based electoral system with a proportional representation system.

तैमूरेण देहली-ग्रहणम् #६२५

Event occured on 1398-05-20 (gregorian). Julian date was converted to Gregorian in this reckoning.

On this day, Taimur routed the tughlaq army. He then entered delhi and massacred hindus.

Events (via MT)

Timur triumphantly marched into Delhi and the Ulema begged him to spare the lives of the Moslems. He asked them to proclaim him the exalted sultan of Hindustan. The Hindus seeing that they faced a brutal death revolted enmasse and were slaughtered with much fury in the fierce fighting that broke out through the streets of Delhi. Four pyramids of the heads of slaughtered Hindus were set up in the four corner of Delhi and only the qualified craftsmen were bound and sent off in slave trains to Samarqand.

Any Moslems who failed to give Timur’s troops their supplies were also forthwith roasted like Kebobs.

Timur spent 15 days in Delhi solemnly occupying the throne of Delhi declaring himself emperor of India. He summoned 120 elephants and made them bow their heads and kneel before him in obeisance and trumpet in unison. He felt that it marked the submission of Hindustan itself at the feet of the world conqueror. He then sent off the elephants in long strings to the Herat, Tabriz, Shiraz and Samarqand. The treasury was taken by Timur and in one stroke the wealth that the Moslem rulers had robbed from Indians over two centuries, comprising of incalculable amounts of gold, silver and gems.

He then performed his Islamic prayers in the old Jami Masjid, placed a cleric from Bokhara as its Imam and had him read the Friday Namaz in his name. Finally on January 1, 1399 when the stench of the corpses made his stay impossible, he ordered his troops to burn down Delhi, except for the Moslem quarters, and proceeded to attack Meerut.

Context

Timur was on his way to India from the Tughlaqs, who had weakened.

शनिरोहिणी-योगः
  • 08:01→

When Rohini nakshatra falls on a Saturday, it is a special yōgaḥ. In the cyclic rotation of time, along with the bad combinations of grahas and nakshatras that indicate the probability of upcoming difficulties, good combinations that grant benefits in multiples also arise. Among such good combinations are the Amrita Siddhi yogas of certain weekdays and nakshatras. They are Sunday-Hasta, Monday-Mrigashirsha, Tuesday-Ashvini, Wednesday-Anuradha, Thursday-Pushya, Friday-Revati, Saturday-Rohini. Good deeds performed on such yogas become especially strong in protecting and nourishing us. For instance, in Devi Atharvashirsha, it is said bhaumāśvinyāṁ mahādevī-sannidhau japtvā mahāmr̥tyuṁ tarati, that is, one can cross even mahāmr̥tyu by doing parayanam when Tuesday and Ashvini join.

When a tripādanakṣatra is conjoined with a bhadrā tithi i.e. dvitīyā, saptamī or dvādaśī, and this falls on a Tuesday, Sunday or Saturday, it is known as a tripuṣkara-yōgaḥ. The dvipuṣkara occurs when the bhadrā tithis coincide with the same days as above, but with the dvipāda nakṣatras, which are mr̥gaśīrṣa, chitrā and dhaniṣṭhā. Like the tripuṣkara which gives a three-fold multiplier for śubha and aśubha, the dvipuṣkara has a two-fold effect.

त्रिपुष्कराख्योऽदितिवह्निविश्वद्वीशाजपादर्यमभेषु योगः।

सोममृगशीर्ष-योगः
  • →10:35

When Mrgashirsha nakshatra falls on a Monday, it is a special yōgaḥ. In the cyclic rotation of time, along with the bad combinations of grahas and nakshatras that indicate the probability of upcoming difficulties, good combinations that grant benefits in multiples also arise. Among such good combinations are the Amrita Siddhi yogas of certain weekdays and nakshatras. They are Sunday-Hasta, Monday-Mrigashirsha, Tuesday-Ashvini, Wednesday-Anuradha, Thursday-Pushya, Friday-Revati, Saturday-Rohini. As per the reading sōmaśrāvaṇyām in the same verse, Monday-Shravana is also praised as a special yoga. Good deeds performed on such yogas become especially strong in protecting and nourishing us. For instance, in Devi Atharvashirsha, it is said bhaumāśvinyāṁ mahādevī-sannidhau japtvā mahāmr̥tyuṁ tarati, that is, one can cross even mahāmr̥tyu by doing parayanam when Tuesday and Ashvini join.

आदित्यहस्ते गुरुपुष्ययोगे बुधानुराधा शनिरोहिणी च।

शिवराजौरङ्गज़ेब-मेलनम् #३५७

Event occured on 1666-05-22 (gregorian). Julian date was converted to Gregorian in this reckoning.

shivAjI and sambhAjI were brought to the emperor by rAmasimha son of jayasiMha. They sent their nazar and nisAr gifts to awrangzeb. Everyone was given pAn from Awrang’s receng birthday. Awrangzeb did not say anything to them. By this time, shivAjI was very angry and awrangzeb told rAm singh to find out what the matter was. shivAjI said: “You have seen, your father has seen, your Emperor has seen what a man I am, and yet you have deliberately kept me standing! I cast off your mansab. If you wanted me to stand, you should have done it with proper thought.” Then he turned his back to the Emperor and immediately began to walk away. Whereupon Ram Sigh caught him by the hand, but Shivaji wrenched it away, came to one side and sat down. Ram Singh followed and tried to conciliate him. But Shivaji refused to listen and exclaimed: “… Cut off my head and take it there if you like; but I am not going into the Emperor’s presence again.” … Awrang sent multafat, aqil and mukhlis khAns with a robe to conciliate him; but he still refused. Finally, Awrang told rAmasimha to take him to his residence and conciliate him. (As related by by jayasiMha’s agent parkAldAs to kalyAndAs in a letter.)

It was well established Mogol custom that no one except the emperor and perhaps a crown prince were given a seat; and shivAjI knew it. But being made to stand below lackeys like jasvant singh. He was most angry with himself for agreeing to this abject visit in the first place. He had just agreed to the treaty and visit as expediency towards his goal of svarAjya, but this was too much. Awrangzeb saw him as a mere recalciterant rebel (mountain rat); while shivAjI knew he was far loftier than the average mogol nobleman.

In the coming days, shivAjI refused to go to Awrangzeb again, though he relented and sent his son to stand beside rAmasimha one day. rAmasiMha made excuses like “He has a fever”.

Event occured on 1971-05-24 (gregorian).

A massacre and rape of the Hindu population of Bakhrabad village, in the district of the Comilla, on 24 May 1971 by the Pakistani army with the help of Al Badr and Al Shams.

The attackers went from house to house, indiscriminately killing men, women, and children. They also set fire to homes and looted the village. The attack lasted for several hours, and by the time it was over, hundreds of people were dead.

The Bakhrabad massacre was widely reported in the international media, which put pressure on the Pakistani government to end the violence. However, the Pakistani military continued its campaign of terror in Bangladesh, which led to the deaths of millions of people.

हनुमद्-गुरु-मरणम् #२४

Event occured on 1999-05-24 (gregorian).

On this day died the master wrestler Vijay Pal Yadav (1901–1999) aka Guru Hanuman in a car crash. Guru Hanuman was fit and actively coaching, consuming large amounts of ghee and milk, even in his late 90s. He died on 24 May 1999, at the age of 98, not of old age or any ailments, but in a car crash! He was on his way to Haridwar to bathe in the holy Ganga.

He founded an akhada to train wrestlers in 1925 with the help of K. K. Birla. Guru Hanuman coached or mentored the brightest Indian wrestlers for decades. His students got Arjuna Awards, won medals at Asian Games and Commonwealth Games, and represented India at the Olympics. After K. D. Jadhav’s bronze in 1952, India did not have a wrestling medal in Olympics for 56 years. Then came Sushil Kumar, a ‘praśiṣya’ (grand-disciple) of Guru Hanuman. Sushil Kumar was coached by Satpal Singh, a disciple of Guru Hanuman. Sushil Kumar won a bronze in 2008 and silver in 2012. Yogeshwar Dutt (bronze in 2012) also trained under Satpal Singh. So did Ravi Kumar Dahiya (silver in 2020).

शिवराजो रामसिंहेन रक्षितः #३५७

Event occured on 1666-05-24 (gregorian). Julian date was converted to Gregorian in this reckoning.

On this day, rAmasiMha, son fo jayasiMha, protected shivAjI’s life.

Those like begam jahAn-ara, javar khAn and jaswant singh kept egging awrangzeb after shivAjI had angrily left awrangzeb’s darbaar. Awrangzeb ordered siddi fulAd to take shivAjI to Rad-andaz Khan’s mansion. rAmasiMha, son of jayasiMha, heard of it. He at once rushed to Muhammad Amin Khan’s house and interceded with him saying: “The Emperor is thinking of killing Shivaji. But he has come here under a solemn assurance of safe conduct (kaul). So it is proper that the Emperor should first kill me, summon my son and kill him and only then kill Shivaji.” So Muhammad Amin Khan went to the Emperor and reported Ram Singh’s words. Whereupon the Emperor said: “Tell Ram Singh to stand surety for Shivaji. If Shivaji escapes or does any mischief Ram Singh will be responsible. Let Ram Singh give a security bond in writing.” When Muhammad Amin Khan returned and narrated this to Ram Singh, he agreed to give a security bond.

He returned to his camp and briefed Shivaji in the night of 14th May 1666. Shivaji came to Ram Singh the following morning, performed worship (puja) of Shiva there and gave his solemn assurance. Then Ram Singh wrote the security bond and gave it to Muhammad Amin Khan that afternoon in the antechamber (ghuslkhana). When the Khan reported this to the Emperor he took the bond and ordered: “Tell Ram Singh to take Shivaji to Kabul. Find an auspicious day to begin the journey.” Luckily, shivAjI visited and bribed Javar khAn to get pardoned for his “offences” and get that order cancelled.

श्रीनिवासमङ्गापुरे साक्षात्कार-वैभवोत्सव-आरम्भः

The temple of Sri Kalyana Venkateswara Swamy, which has been a center of devotion from ancient times, once fell into disrepair. It was later renovated by Chinna Tirumalacharya, the grandson of Sri Tallapaka Annamacharya, as evidenced by an inscription dated March 22nd, 1510 CE at the temple’s entrance. Despite regaining its glory for several years, the temple again faced neglect in the 20th century.

In 1940, an Archaka named Sri Sundara Raja Swamy from Kanchi, inspired by a dream in which Sri Kalyana Venkateswara Swamy appeared, took it upon himself to clean the temple premises and resume regular pujas. He conveyed his dream to the villagers, narrating how Lord Venkateswara Swamy manifested in the dream and instructed him to restore the temple’s former splendor (Past Vaibhavam) by conducting Deepa Naivedya Aaradhana, after which the Lord vanished from the dream. On July 11, 1940, which was Ashada Shukla Paksha Shashti, Sundara Raja Swamy conducted a special puja, marking the day the deity revealed his divine form to devotees. This event led the Tirumala Tirupati Devasthanams to initiate the annual “Sakshatkara Vaibhavotsavams.”

“Sakshatkaram” refers to the deity’s holy appearance or Darshan. The Sakshatkara Vaibhavotsavam is a three-day festival that includes the day of the deity’s appearance (Ashada Suddha Shasti) and the days immediately before and after. The first day of the celebration includes a procession of the deity, Sri Kalyana Venkateswara Swamy, along with His consorts, on the Pedda Shesha Vahanam, from the temple to the Kalyana Mandapa, followed by Abhishekam and Unjal Seva in the evening. The second day features Hanumantha Vahana Seva, and the third day concludes with the Garuda Vahana Seva at night. These celebrations provide devotees the opportunity to witness the deity and receive blessings.

When Pushya nakshatra falls on a Thursday, it is a special yōgaḥ. When Rohini nakshatra falls on a Saturday, it is a special yōgaḥ. In the cyclic rotation of time, along with the bad combinations of grahas and nakshatras that indicate the probability of upcoming difficulties, good combinations that grant benefits in multiples also arise. Among such good combinations are the Amrita Siddhi yogas of certain weekdays and nakshatras. They are Sunday-Hasta, Monday-Mrigashirsha, Tuesday-Ashvini, Wednesday-Anuradha, Thursday-Pushya, Friday-Revati, Saturday-Rohini. Good deeds performed on such yogas become especially strong in protecting and nourishing us. For instance, in Devi Atharvashirsha, it is said bhaumāśvinyāṁ mahādevī-sannidhau japtvā mahāmr̥tyuṁ tarati, that is, one can cross even mahāmr̥tyu by doing parayanam when Tuesday and Ashvini join.

नमिनन्दियडिगळ् नायऩ्मार् (२७) गुरुपूजै

Observed on Puṣyaḥ nakshatra of Vr̥ṣabhaḥ (sidereal solar) month (Prātaḥ/paraviddha).

Between the 6th and 9th centuries, in South India, there existed 63 ardent devotees of Lord Shiva, collectively known as the Nayanmars. These devout individuals, hailing from various walks of life including potters, fishermen, farmers, merchants, priests, hunters, and washermen, created devotional songs still sung by followers around the globe. Among these Nayanmars, Appar, Sambandar, and Sundarar, known for their Thevaram hymns, along with Manikkavasagar, are distinguished as the Samayacharyas or the ‘The Four’ (ta:nālvar) revered teachers of the faith. They were instrumental in promoting the Shaiva Siddhanta philosophy and culture, effectively challenging the spread of Jainism and Buddhism. Their teachings centered around the concept that Shiva embodies love, and that embracing love for all beings and existence is essential in connecting with Shiva, the Supreme Being.

Nami Nandi Adigal, a devout Brahmana from Emaperur in the Chola kingdom, dedicated his life to worshipping Lord Shiva in Tiruvarur. One day, driven by a desire to light numerous lamps in the temple as extolled in the Shiva Agamas, he sought ghee from a nearby house. However, the Jaina inhabitant mockingly suggested using water instead. Distressed, Nandi Adigal prayed to Lord Shiva and was divinely instructed to use water from a nearby tank for lighting the lamps. Miraculously, the lamps burned brightly with water, astonishing the Jainas and leading to a decline in Jainism as people turned to Shaivism.

Recognising his devotion, the Chola king appointed Nandi Adigal as the head of the temple. He zealously conducted the Panguni Uttaram festival at Tirumanali, drawing worshippers of all castes. One night, feeling unpurified by the contact with people of various castes, he hesitated to enter his home. As he waited for his wife to bring him water to bathe, he fell asleep and dreamt of Lord Shiva, who revealed that all born in Tiruvarur were His ganas! Awakening, Nandi Adigal narrated this story to his wife, and performed his worship. In the morning, he went back to Tiruvarur and saw that the people of Tiruvarur bore the form of Lord Shiva! As he prostrated to them, they all resumed their original forms — thus a divine Lila being enacted by the Lord.

Settling in Tiruvarur, Nandi Adigal devoted himself to serving the Lord and His devotees, earning praise as ‘Anipon’ (pure gold) from the Nayanmar Appar. He ultimately attained the sublime abode of Lord Shiva, exemplifying pure devotion and service.

Event occured on 1971-05-26 (gregorian).

On May 26, 1971, the Pakistani army + Razakars singled out and murdered 94 Hindus at Burunga High School in Bangladesh.

Events

Hindus and Muslims from the village assembled at Burunga High School on the morning of May 26. The purpose of their gathering was to participate in the peace committee meeting. By 8 am, approximately a thousand individuals had gathered at the school premises. At around 9 am, the Pakistani army arrived at Burunga High School, accompanied by Abdul Ahad Chaudhary, the commander of the nearby Karansi village Razakar group, and Abdul Khaleque, the village doctor. The Pakistan Army obtained the list of individuals from the Peace Committee and proceeded to conduct thorough house-to-house searches in the village. Those who had not attended the Peace Committee meeting at the high school were forcibly taken out of their houses and brought to the school grounds.

The Hindus were directed to the school office, while the Muslims were confined to a classroom. They were compelled to recite the Kalma and sing the national anthem of Pakistan. At approximately 9:30, Abdul Ahad Chaudhry, accompanied by a Pakistani soldier, demanded that the people surrender any money and jewellery they possessed. Following this, the majority of Muslims were released. The Pakistani soldiers instructed the Muslim villagers to procure a nylon rope and tightly tie all the Hindus together.

The individuals who were unable to escape were forcibly assembled on the school grounds under the watch of Pakistani soldiers. Their hands were bound and then they were shot. The assailants proceeded to douse them with kerosene and set ablaze ensuring that no Hindu remained alive. Led by Abdul Ahad Chaudhary and Dr Abdul Khaleque, the local Razakars proceeded to pillage the entire village and set fire to the houses of Hindus.

सोमासिमार नायऩ्मार् (३३) गुरुपूजै

Observed on Āśrēṣā nakshatra of Vr̥ṣabhaḥ (sidereal solar) month (Prātaḥ/paraviddha).

Between the 6th and 9th centuries, in South India, there existed 63 ardent devotees of Lord Shiva, collectively known as the Nayanmars. These devout individuals, hailing from various walks of life including potters, fishermen, farmers, merchants, priests, hunters, and washermen, created devotional songs still sung by followers around the globe. Among these Nayanmars, Appar, Sambandar, and Sundarar, known for their Thevaram hymns, along with Manikkavasagar, are distinguished as the Samayacharyas or the ‘The Four’ (ta:nālvar) revered teachers of the faith. They were instrumental in promoting the Shaiva Siddhanta philosophy and culture, effectively challenging the spread of Jainism and Buddhism. Their teachings centered around the concept that Shiva embodies love, and that embracing love for all beings and existence is essential in connecting with Shiva, the Supreme Being.

Somasira Nayanmar, the 33rd Nayanmar was a Brahmana from Tiruvambur, deeply devoted to Lord Shiva and served His devotees from all castes, transcending societal norms. His dedication to conducting Yagas (ritual sacrifices) was remarkable, as he did so without any selfish motives, a rarity in his time. Yagas were typically performed with the expectation of tangible rewards, but Somasira’s selfless approach indicated his advanced spiritual maturity, reflecting the traits of a true Jnani (one who has realized the Self) and Karma Yogi (one who selflessly performs actions).

Additionally, his devotion to his Guru, Sundaramurthi Nayanmar, was profound. He lived in Tiruvarur, fully committed to his spiritual teacher, a testament to the power of Guru Bhakti (devotion to the guru).

शबरीगिरि-देवस्थान-नाशः #७३

Event occured on 1950-05-26 (gregorian).

On this day, shabarImala temple was found desecrated. Police report (by DIG KK Menon) suspected Christians.

First noticed by a priest on June 14, 1950, the arson was reported to police two days later by the commissioner and the president of Travancore Devaswom Board. The temple was last closed on May 20. The priest, his subordinates and some worshippers had left the place, with nobody staying back. When Kollam district superintendent of police visited the place, he had noticed that, “The idol was found broken; the head, left hand palm and fingers separated. There were cut marks on the face of the idol as well as on the forehead.” The enquiry had found out that the fire was not an accident. There were 15 cut marks of violence on the door leading to the sreekovil (sanctum sanctorum), indicating forcible entry, the report said. Police had found traces of brass on the sharp edge of an axe found from the spot. Theft attempt was ruled out as silver, gold and utensils were not taken away.

Aftermath: The temple was rebuilt, the stone idol replaced with a metal one.

श्रीनिवासमङ्गापुरे साक्षात्कार-वैभवोत्सव-समापनम्

The temple of Sri Kalyana Venkateswara Swamy, which has been a center of devotion from ancient times, once fell into disrepair. It was later renovated by Chinna Tirumalacharya, the grandson of Sri Tallapaka Annamacharya, as evidenced by an inscription dated March 22nd, 1510 CE at the temple’s entrance. Despite regaining its glory for several years, the temple again faced neglect in the 20th century.

In 1940, an Archaka named Sri Sundara Raja Swamy from Kanchi, inspired by a dream in which Sri Kalyana Venkateswara Swamy appeared, took it upon himself to clean the temple premises and resume regular pujas. He conveyed his dream to the villagers, narrating how Lord Venkateswara Swamy manifested in the dream and instructed him to restore the temple’s former splendor (Past Vaibhavam) by conducting Deepa Naivedya Aaradhana, after which the Lord vanished from the dream. On July 11, 1940, which was Ashada Shukla Paksha Shashti, Sundara Raja Swamy conducted a special puja, marking the day the deity revealed his divine form to devotees. This event led the Tirumala Tirupati Devasthanams to initiate the annual “Sakshatkara Vaibhavotsavams.”

“Sakshatkaram” refers to the deity’s holy appearance or Darshan. The Sakshatkara Vaibhavotsavam is a three-day festival that includes the day of the deity’s appearance (Ashada Suddha Shasti) and the days immediately before and after. The first day of the celebration includes a procession of the deity, Sri Kalyana Venkateswara Swamy, along with His consorts, on the Pedda Shesha Vahanam, from the temple to the Kalyana Mandapa, followed by Abhishekam and Unjal Seva in the evening. The second day features Hanumantha Vahana Seva, and the third day concludes with the Garuda Vahana Seva at night. These celebrations provide devotees the opportunity to witness the deity and receive blessings.

Here (in this world) the best among preceptors by name Mahādevendra adorned the incomparable seat of preceptor for forty-two years; thus the great Yogi realised the Self and attained siddhi on the ninth day of bright fortnight in the month of Jyeṣṭha in the year Krodhana. Ātmabodha, who wrote a commentary Suṣamā on Śrī Sadāśivabrahmendra’s Gururatnamālika also belonged to this period (a contemporary of this preceptor). Only during this period, the Jagadguru Maṭha moved out of Kāñci. The place where this present preceptor attained siddhi was the wellknown Tiruvottiyur situated in the north of Madras (Śalivahana era 1664).

Krishnadeva Raya of Vijayanagar routed the Bijapur army of Ismail Adil Shah which had come to save Raichur fort (beseiged since around March) and captured it.

Ismail hoped that his artillery would decimate Vijayanagara attackers - but Krishnadevaraya only sent a division under kumAra vijaya for a vigorous attack. As the bijApur vanguard retreated, the artillery opened fire forcing kumAra vijaya’s forces to retreat - pursued by bijApur forces. At that time, the rAya joined with the rest of his army crushing the pursuers. bijApur army fled - many drowned in the kRShNA river at their rear. Salabat Khan tried to stop the rout, but his band of 500 portuguese mercenaries were eliminated and Salabat captured as they almost reached the rAya’s guard. Adil Shah, who did not fight at all, ran away on an elephant with 500 horse. Horse trader Christovao de Figueiredo then offered services of his band of 20 - they picked off fort defenders (including the governor) using their arquebusses. After that the fort was captured.

Context: Vijayanagara had captured rAyachUru earlier in 1510, but they’d lost it in 1516 while busy fighting gajapati-s. Krishnadevaraya, aged 35, sent Seyed Maraikar, a Muslim in his service, to Goa with 40k gold coins to buy horses. Maraikar betrayed Krishnadevaraya’s cause and went to Ismail Adil Shah with the money and offered his services. Krishnadevaraya made a demand that Maraikar be returned along with the money. Ismail refused and instead helped him escape to Goa. During the period of peace Krishnadevaraya made extensive preparations for a grand attack on Raichur Doab. After the court decided that Raichur should be attacked, the king invited all commanders (Nayakas) in his service to take part in the battle.

Aftermath: Nizam Shah, Qutb Shah, Barid Shah and Imad Shah wrote to the rAya asking him to return rAyachUru or that they would combine against him. The rAya replied that they should not trouble themselves - he would visit them. Ismail dallied until the rAya marched on to bijApur itself (1523). Sadly, just 7 years later, aged 45, kRShNadevarAya died even as he planned to capture beLgaum.

हरिसिंहेनाटक-ग्रहणम् #२०५

Event occured on 1818-06-02 (gregorian).

On this day, Hari Singh Nalwa, Misr Diwan Chand and others at the head of about 25k khAlsa troops won Multan after a 3 month seige. Nawab Muzaffar Khan and sons were killed defending the fort.

Context

The Sikh Empire had attacked Multan multiple times in the past, the largest attack being in 1810. However, on the previous occasions the Sikh forces would defeat the defending force and seize the city only to have the governor of Multan, Muzaffar Khan Sadozai, retreat into the Multan Fort. During previous sieges, the Sikhs had settled for large single payments of tribute, while the attack in 1810 resulted in Multan paying a yearly tribute.

Aftermath

The siege of Multan ended significant Afghan influence in the Peshawar region and led to multiple Sikh attempts at capturing and the final capture of Peshawar.

वेङ्कटाचले ज्येष्ठ-अभिद्येयकाभिषेकः (वज्र-कवचम्)

The Abhidhyeyaka Abhishekam festival, also known as Jyeshthabhishekam, is a celebration held annually in the auspicious month of Jyeshtha, aligning with the Jyeshtha star in the constellation. The term “Abhidhyeyakam” refers to a protective shield or armour, symbolizing the divine defense that the Lord assumes in this Kaliyuga to combat evil. This festival, celebrated over three days, centers around a special abhishekam performed for this sacred armour.

According to temple traditions, this Abhishekam is conducted to safeguard the Utsava deities of Lord Malayappa Swami and his consorts, Sridevi and Bhudevi. The purpose is to prevent any potential damage during various processions and holy baths (Tirumanjanam) throughout the year.

Each day of the festival, after the second bell, the deities are taken to the Kalyanotsava Mandapam situated in Sampangi Prakaram. Here, Snapana Tirumanjanam is performed, a ritual involving bathing the deities with consecrated water infused with spices, turmeric, sandal paste, honey, milk, and curd, accompanied by the chanting of Vedic mantras.

On each day, the Lord and his consorts are adorned in unique kavachams: The first day features the Vajrakavacham, a diamond-studded armour; the second day showcases the Muthyala kavacham, an armour studded with pearls; and the third day highlights the Svarna kavacham, a golden armour. The Svarna kavacham remains on the deities for the entire year and is only removed for the next Abhidhyeyaka Abhishekam.

मुरुग नायऩ्मार् (१६) गुरुपूजै

Observed on Mūlā nakshatra of Vr̥ṣabhaḥ (sidereal solar) month (Prātaḥ/paraviddha).

Between the 6th and 9th centuries, in South India, there existed 63 ardent devotees of Lord Shiva, collectively known as the Nayanmars. These devout individuals, hailing from various walks of life including potters, fishermen, farmers, merchants, priests, hunters, and washermen, created devotional songs still sung by followers around the globe. Among these Nayanmars, Appar, Sambandar, and Sundarar, known for their Thevaram hymns, along with Manikkavasagar, are distinguished as the Samayacharyas or the ‘The Four’ (ta:nālvar) revered teachers of the faith. They were instrumental in promoting the Shaiva Siddhanta philosophy and culture, effectively challenging the spread of Jainism and Buddhism. Their teachings centered around the concept that Shiva embodies love, and that embracing love for all beings and existence is essential in connecting with Shiva, the Supreme Being.

The 16th Nayanmar, Muruga Nayanmar, known for his exemplary worship of Lord Shiva, was born in Tirupukalur, a place renowned for its association with many Nayanmars. His devotion manifested in a specific form of worship, which included performing Archana with flowers as described in the Shiva Agamas, offering floral garlands to the deity, and reciting the Panchakshara Mantra. This mantra, found in the central portion of the Sri Rudradhyayi within the Yajur Veda, is highly revered for its power to liberate devotees from the cycle of birth and death.

Every day, Muruga Nayanmar would rise before dawn, complete his daily rituals including a bath and applying sacred ash, and then head to the garden. While chanting the Panchakshara Mantra, he would collect flowers and meticulously craft colorful garlands following the guidelines of the Shiva Agamas, which he would then offer to Lord Shiva.

A significant event in Muruga Nayanmar’s life was the arrival of the revered Jnana Sambandar to Tirupukalur. Muruga Nayanmar extended an invitation to Sambandar, worshiped him, and earned his favor, leading to a deep friendship. This bond culminated in a profound spiritual experience at Sambandar’s wedding, where Muruga Nayanmar, along with Sambandar, the bride, and others, experienced a merging into the Divine Effulgence of Lord Shiva. This event epitomises the Tamil proverb which states that the rarest achievement is gaining the favor of the great, a feat Muruga Nayanmar accomplished through his devotion, earning him not just Sambandar’s friendship but also divine realization.

Between the 6th and 9th centuries, in South India, there existed 63 ardent devotees of Lord Shiva, collectively known as the Nayanmars. These devout individuals, hailing from various walks of life including potters, fishermen, farmers, merchants, priests, hunters, and washermen, created devotional songs still sung by followers around the globe. Among these Nayanmars, Appar (Thirunavukkarasar), Sambandar, and Sundarar, known for their Thevaram hymns, along with Manikkavachakar, are distinguished as the Samayacharyas or the ‘The Four’ (ta:nālvar) revered teachers of the faith. They were instrumental in promoting the Shaiva Siddhanta philosophy and culture, effectively challenging the spread of Jainism and Buddhism. Their teachings centered around the concept that Shiva embodies love, and that embracing love for all beings and existence is essential in connecting with Shiva, the Supreme Being.

The 28th of the Nayanmars, Thirugnana Sambandar, born to a devout Brahmana couple—Shivapada Hridayar and Bhagavatiar—in 7th-century Sirkazhi, was an answer to his father’s prayers for a son who would revive the glory of Shaivism. At the age of three, during a visit to the Sattainathar Shiva Temple, Sambandar was left by his parents near a pond. While alone, he began to cry and was comforted and fed by Goddess Parvati and Lord Shiva, appearing as Thoniappar. His parents found milk on his lips and upon questioning, Sambandar pointed skyward and spontaneously composed his first hymn, “Thodudaiya Seviyan,” symbolizing his reception of divine wisdom or Shivajnanam. This event marked him as Thirugnana Sambandar, the Nayanmar of divine knowledge, and Aludaiya Pillayar, the Lord’s child.

Celebrated as Tala Vendan, the unrivaled master of rhythm in the Periyapuranam, Sambandar demonstrated prodigious talents from a young age. By the time he was seven, he began singing about the Vedas and authored a significant collection of hymns, forming volumes 1-3 of the Thirumurai.

Sambandar, from an early age, showed remarkable spiritual gifts, composing and singing hymns in praise of Lord Shiva, now known as Thevaram. During a pilgrimage, he met Tiru Neelakanta Yazhpanar (the 61st of the Nayanmars), an expert musician, who became his constant companion. Sambandar’s journey was filled with miraculous events — he was given a pair of golden cymbals by Lord Shiva, received a pearl palanquin from the Lord to ease his travels, and his divine hymns healed the sick and performed wonders.

In Madurai, dominated by Jainism, Sambandar played a crucial role in re-establishing Shaivism. He miraculously cured the Jain king of a burning ailment using sacred ash and defeated the Jains in various spiritual challenges. His actions led to the king embracing Shaivism and the resurgence of the faith in the region.

Sambandar’s life was marked by his profound devotion and the numerous miracles he performed. He brought a merchant’s dead daughter back to life and helped many others through his spiritual powers. As his wedding approached at age 16, Sambandar prayed to Shiva for liberation. During this time, a miraculous blaze of light, the Shiva Jyoti, appeared. As he recited the “Panchakshara Padigam,” everyone present — including Tiruneelakanta Nayanmar, Muruga Nayanmar and Tiruneelakanta Yazhpanar — were absorbed into a divine light, merging with Lord Shiva! His legacy continues to influence and inspire Shaivite devotion and music.

Their teachings centered around the concept that Shiva embodies love, and that embracing love for all beings and existence is essential in connecting with Shiva, the Supreme Being.

Tiru Neelakanta Yazhpanar was a devout follower of Lord Shiva from Tiru Erukattanpuliyur in the Chola kingdom. Renowned for his skill in playing the Yazh, a traditional musical instrument similar to the Veena, he traveled to various sacred shrines to sing praises of the Lord. During a visit to Madura, he stood at the temple entrance, playing and singing. Lord Shiva, desiring to hear Yazhpanar’s music more closely, communicated through dreams to his devotees to invite Yazhpanar into the inner shrine.

The next day, the Brahmins led Yazhpanar into the shrine. Surprised but understanding this as Lord Shiva’s divine play, Yazhpanar played the Yazh with even greater fervor. Miraculously, a heavenly voice suggested providing a golden seat to avoid damaging the instrument on the wet floor. Yazhpanar was then offered a golden seat, where he continued his devotional singing, expressing gratitude for the Lord’s compassion.

Later, Yazhpanar visited Tiruvarur. Here, too, he initially sang outside the shrine. In response to his devotion, Lord Shiva created a new opening on the northern side of the temple specifically for Yazhpanar. Recognizing this as another divine gesture, Yazhpanar entered through the gate and sang in the immediate presence of the Lord.

His journey with Sambandar and eventual attainment of Liberation is of note: During a pilgrimage, Sambandar met Tiru Neelakanta Yazhpanar, who became his constant companion. As his wedding approached at age 16, Sambandar prayed to Shiva for liberation. During this time, a miraculous blaze of light, the Shiva Jyoti, appeared. As he recited the “Panchakshara Padigam,” everyone present — including Tiruneelakanta Nayanmar, Muruga Nayanmar and Tiruneelakanta Yazhpanar — were absorbed into a divine light, merging with Lord Shiva! His legacy continues to influence and inspire Shaivite devotion and music.

तिरुनीलनक्क नायऩ्मार् (२६) गुरुपूजै

Between the 6th and 9th centuries, in South India, there existed 63 ardent devotees of Lord Shiva, collectively known as the Nayanmars.

They were instrumental in promoting the Shaiva Siddhanta philosophy and culture, effectively challenging the spread of Jainism and Buddhism. Their teachings centered around the concept that Shiva embodies love, and that embracing love for all beings and existence is essential in connecting with Shiva, the Supreme Being.

Tiruneelanakka Nayanmar, the 26th of the Nayanmars, was a devout Brahmana proficient in Agamas, and resided in Tirusattamangai, a spiritually vibrant city in the Chola kingdom. Known for its dedicated Brahmanas and the temple of Ayavanthinathar (today’s Brahmapureeshvarar (Ayavandheeshvarar) Svaami Temple https://maps.app.goo.gl/DHqaB7hJypLzZRUH9), this city was a centre of Shiva worship. During a Tiruvathirai festival, while Tiruneelanakka and his wife were worshiping in the temple, she instinctively blew on the Shiva Lingam to clean it from a spider, accidentally spitting on the the Shiva Lingam, an act her devout husband perceived as desecration. Angered, he abandoned her and returned home alone.

That night, Lord Ayavanthinathar appeared in Tiruneelanakka’s dream, showing that the part of His body his wife spat on was the only part not affected by the spider’s poison, revealing the greatness of her devotion. Realising this, Tiruneelanakka Nayanmar joyously reconciled with his wife, understanding the Lingam as a living presence, not just a stone.

When the revered Tiru Jnana Sambandar (the 28th of the Nayanmars) visited Tirusattamangai with companions, Tiruneelanakka Nayanmar welcomed them but hesitated to accommodate the non-Brahmana companions inside his home, asking them to sleep near the sacrificial pit. Miraculously, the sacrificial fire ignited by itself near them, enlightening Nayanmar about the transcendence of caste through devotion. Sambandar, acknowledging Nayanmar’s devotion, included him in a song of praise.

Yearning to be in Sambandar’s presence, Tiruneelanakka later attended Sambandar’s wedding in Nallur Perumanam. When Sambandar merged into the divine light of Lord Shiva, Tiruneelanakka Nayanmar also attained union with the divine, fulfilling his deepest spiritual longing.

मुण्ड-बीर्स-मृत्युः #१२३

Event occured on 1900-06-09 (gregorian).

On this day Birsa Munda died in jail, a few days after his capture. In a short life of about 25 years, he had developed into an anti-British and anti-Missionary muNDa leader.

Early in life he threw off a 3 year old Christian conversion (with the name “Birsa David”) required for German Mission school admission; studied rAmAyaNa and mahAbhArata influenced by Anand pANDa (3 years association) and another vaiShNava monk (3 months association), then wearing a tilaka and a yajjnopavIta. 3 more years later, he began to lead his own hindu-tribal amalgam “Birsait panth” as “Dharti Aba”, focusing on purity, vegetarianism, the need to fight in “kalyug” etc.. He sang songs inspiring muNDa-s to down “rAvaN”.

रघुनाथराव-बन्धनम् #३९

Event occured on 1984-06-10 (gregorian).

On this day, 1,461 Sikh soldiers of the Sikh regimental centre (1,050 of them raw recruits) at Ramgarh camp in the erstwhile Bihar state rebelled and murdered their commander, Brigadier RS Puri. The leaders of the mutiny divided the troops into two groups just outside of Banaras to avoid a rumoured roadblock.

Context

Many Sikh armymen were indoctrinated by Khalistanis. Fifteen percent of the Indian Army - including some of its most elite divisions - were composed of Sikhs. (But Sikhs were less than 2 percent of the population.) One of the bodies removed from Bhindranwale’s basement command was that retired Maj. Gen. Shuhbeg Singh. He dismissed one day before getting his retirement. After his dismissal he joined the Khalistan movement as a military adviser. A couple of Sikh bodyguards later killed the prime minister Indira Gandhi.

The mutiny was sparked by an army assault the previous week on the holiest shrine of the Sikhs, the Golden Temple. Incidentally, the two top generals in the chain of command, Lt Gen RS Dayal MVC and Maj Gen KS Brar were Sikhs with distinguished records for service and gallantry.

Aftermath

Two other senior officers and a number of soldiers were seriously wounded in heavy shooting at the camp that began before noon and continued until 4 pm. The soldiers joined other angry Sikhs in hijacking private buses and trucks at gunpoint.

One half was engaged by army artillery at Shakteshgarh railway station; those who managed to escape were rounded up by 21st Mechanised Infantry Regiment. The other half engaged with the artillery and troops of 20th Infantry Brigade, during which 35 soldiers (both sides) were killed. Sikh soldiers remaining behind at the camp raised a white flag of surrender when the reinforcements arrived.

Overall (including other incidents), about 5k Sikhs had mutinied. Many mutineers were court-martialed and dismissed. The Sikh Regiment’s 9th battalion was disbanded. Some were retained, but soldiers from those battalions were made to wear a black band around their turbans to signify they had once betrayed the country.

रघुनाथराव-बन्धनम् #२५५

Event occured on 1768-06-10 (gregorian).

On this day, peshvA mAdhav rAv waged a war against Raghunathrao, captured him and put him under house arrest at Shaniwar Wada along with his assistant Sakharam Bapu Bokil.

Context: Raghunathrao had marched to the north for expanding the empire, he failed to do so. Instead, he came back to Anandvalli and was again tempted to form an alliance with his generals and fight against Madhavrao. This time, however; Madhavrao was extremely agitated with his uncle’s repeated attempts to overthrow him.

When Ashwini nakshatra falls on a Tuesday, it is a special yōgaḥ. Do upāsanā of Lakshmi Narasimha. When Rohini nakshatra falls on a Saturday, it is a special yōgaḥ. In the cyclic rotation of time, along with the bad combinations of grahas and nakshatras that indicate the probability of upcoming difficulties, good combinations that grant benefits in multiples also arise. Among such good combinations are the Amrita Siddhi yogas of certain weekdays and nakshatras. They are Sunday-Hasta, Monday-Mrigashirsha, Tuesday-Ashvini, Wednesday-Anuradha, Thursday-Pushya, Friday-Revati, Saturday-Rohini. Good deeds performed on such yogas become especially strong in protecting and nourishing us. For instance, in Devi Atharvashirsha, it is said bhaumāśvinyāṁ mahādevī-sannidhau japtvā mahāmr̥tyuṁ tarati, that is, one can cross even mahāmr̥tyu by doing parayanam when Tuesday and Ashvini join.

आदित्यहस्ते गुरुपुष्ययोगे बुधानुराधा शनिरोहिणी च।
सोमे च सौम्यं भृगुरेवती च भौमाश्विनी चामृतसिद्धियोगाः॥

तल्वार-शिखर-जयः #२४

Event occured on 1999-06-14 (gregorian).

On this day, during the kArgil war, Major Manoj Talwar died capturing point 5765 (19k feet high) from pAkistAni jihAdi-s.

  • He was the son of Capt PL Talwar, a civil engineer who participated in the 1962 China war and helped build the laDhAk airport.
  • He could’ve easily been an Army Doc but he chose NDA over AFMC.
  • It wasn’t his turn to get posted at Siachen but he chose to get posted there and was granted an ‘out of turn posting’.
Events

Although the team was supposed to be led by a Junior Officer, Major Manoj volunteered to lead the mission. The Pakistani army was constantly firing from above. He ordered his team to go around the peak and flank the entrenched enemy from front. During their advance, he suffered from several splinter injuries by enemy’s mortars and grenades but despite all the difficulties, he displayed rare determination, exemplary sense of courage and devotion to duty and kept pushing forward. Moments after he had finally captured the peak & had embedded the Indian Flag at point 5765 on the midnight of 13th June, a splinter from a mortar shelling hit his eye and he was gravely injured. He fell 19,000 feet below into the valley and the search for his body went on for hours till the early morning of 14th June 1999.

Aftermath
  • Point 5765 was named ‘Talwar Top’ & the bunker ‘Talwar Bunker’.
  • On 17th of June, as his body was cremated.
  • All the markets, cinema halls and other public places were closed. The women in the houses did not cook food that day. He was respected and loved as the ‘Son Of Meerut.’
  • His parents received his last letter which he had written on 10th of June while sitting on his bunker.
  • Later in the year 2003, a statue was built in Meerut in his honour and was unveiled by Sh Rajnath Singh.

शिवराजो रामसिंहेन रक्षितः २ #३५७

Event occured on 1666-06-15 (gregorian). Julian date was converted to Gregorian in this reckoning.

shivAjI was under strict house arrest since 25th May after his petition to return home in exchange for 20 million Rs was refused. Quote below is from Mehendale’s book.

“Soon afterwards, probably on 5th June, it was reported to the Emperor that Shivaji’s and Ram Singh’s men were daily coming to Agra. The report was probably false. But it was enough to infuriate the Emperor. He ordered Siddi Fulad and the men of the artillery: “Go and seize Shivaji and kill him.” But it would seem that by this time Shivaji had won over not only Jafar Khan and Muhammad Amin Khan but the Emperor’s elder sister Jahan Ara as well, for she at once urged the Emperor: “Mirza Raja [Jai Singh] is a sincere servant of Your Majesty. Shivaji came here relying upon his assurance. If you kill him now no one will have any faith in your word.” It was due to her intervention that the Emperor rescinded the order. It was probably this incident which led Ram Singh to take additional precautions for Shivaji’s safety. Since 5th June, Ram Singh’s men began keeping watch around Shivaji inside the circle of guards which had been posted by the Emperor’s orders. Ram Singh justified this saying that the Emperor had kept Shivaji in his custody and he would be held responsible if Shivaji escaped or committed suicide.”

jayasiMha too helped: “After the incident of 12th May, the Emperor had written to Jai Singh informing him of what had occurred and had asked for his advice in the matter. To this, according to the Alamgirnama, Jai Singh had replied that as he had concluded a treaty and covenant with Shivaji, he would be obliged if Shivaji’s offences would be pardoned and that such a policy would also be advantageous in view of the campaign against Bijapur. He also instructed Ram Singh to ensure that Shivaji remained safe and the sanctity of his and Ram Singh’s promises to Shivaji remained inviolate. At first Jai Singh had even beseeched the Emperor to let Shivaji return home. "

शनिरोहिणी-योगः
  • →16:23

When Rohini nakshatra falls on a Saturday, it is a special yōgaḥ. In the cyclic rotation of time, along with the bad combinations of grahas and nakshatras that indicate the probability of upcoming difficulties, good combinations that grant benefits in multiples also arise. Among such good combinations are the Amrita Siddhi yogas of certain weekdays and nakshatras. They are Sunday-Hasta, Monday-Mrigashirsha, Tuesday-Ashvini, Wednesday-Anuradha, Thursday-Pushya, Friday-Revati, Saturday-Rohini. Good deeds performed on such yogas become especially strong in protecting and nourishing us. For instance, in Devi Atharvashirsha, it is said bhaumāśvinyāṁ mahādevī-sannidhau japtvā mahāmr̥tyuṁ tarati, that is, one can cross even mahāmr̥tyu by doing parayanam when Tuesday and Ashvini join.

झांसीराज्ञी लक्ष्मी हता #१६५

Event occured on 1858-06-18 (gregorian).

On 17 June in Kotah-ki-Serai near the Phool Bagh of Gwalior, a squadron of the 8th (King’s Royal Irish) Hussars, under Captain Heneage, fought the large Indian force commanded by Rani Lakshmibai, who was trying to leave the area. The 8th Hussars charged into the Indian force, slaughtering 5,000 Indian soldiers, including any Indian “over the age of 16”. They took two guns and continued the charge right through the Phool Bagh encampment. In this engagement, according to an eyewitness account, Rani Lakshmibai put on a sowar’s uniform and attacked one of the hussars; she was unhorsed and also wounded, probably by his sabre. Shortly afterwards, as she sat bleeding by the roadside, she recognised the soldier and fired at him with a pistol, whereupon he “dispatched the young lady with his carbine”.

Event occured on 1761-06-20 (gregorian).

On 20th June 1761, the royalist divAn Khande Rao was surrendered to the new userper Haidar by a cornered Krishnaraja Wodeyar II. Haidar imprisoned him in a iron cage (Page 204, Chapter 5 of Political history of Karnataka under the nawabs) and shifted him to Bangalore where he died a year later. Although khande Rao had let haidar escape, treated Haidar’s family with utmost respect when they were captured, Haidar behaved and repaid him in a very brutal manner. Even Haidar’s wife, Fakhrunnisa, did not prevail upon Haidar to give a milder punishment to the gallant foe.

Context
  • Khande Rao came in contact with Haidar Ali in August 1756 when the king entrusted him with 50k gold pieces to be given to Sahbas Sahib (brother of Haidar) and Haidar to enable them to raise an army to defeat the Dalawai brothers who had virtually imprisoned him (the king) in his own palace.
  • Haidar rose to power under Khande Rao with the countenence of Karachuri Nanjarajaiah. In 1758, Khande Rao was made “Dewan” on the recommendation of Haidar and the Dalawais (including Karachuri Nanjarajaiah) were side-lined.
  • By 1759, it was clear that Haidar was getting more and more revenue districts assigned to himself and Khande Rao had seen through Haidar’s intention to fleece the king.
  • The Wodeyar King sought the assistance of the Mahratta army and Khande Rao wrote several letters to George Pigout, Governor General at Madras for help.
  • On 26th August 1760, Khande Rao attacked Haidar at Srirangapatna but let Haidar flee out of sentiment, with the promise that he would retire away from maisUru. Haidar did not keep his promise - he tried regrouping and attacking.
  • Sadly, shortly thereafter marATha forces were recalled after the defeat at pANIpat.
  • Haidar rushed to the feet of the dalvai Karachuri Nanjarajaiah - the latter was swayed and basically let Haidar act on his behalf - sowing utter confusion in the maisUru king’s troops.
Aftermath
  • On 3rd july 1761, Haidar formally occupied the Fort at Srirangapatna and declared himself as “Sarvadhikari and Regent” to the King. Karachuri Nanjarajaiah, who wanted to re-establish himself at Srirangapatna, was deceived for the second time by Haidar.

त्रिपुष्कर-योगः

When a tripādanakṣatra is conjoined with a bhadrā tithi i.e. dvitīyā, saptamī or dvādaśī, and this falls on a Tuesday, Sunday or Saturday, it is known as a tripuṣkara-yōgaḥ. When only two of these coincide, it is known as dvipuṣkara. These are specially auspicious times, and are excluded for aparakarmas such as ūnamāsikaśrāddham.

पुरन्दरसन्धिः #३५८

Event occured on 1665-06-21 (gregorian). Julian date was converted to Gregorian in this reckoning.

After 5 years of war, as seige of purandar drew on, shivAjI met with jayasimha after obtaining personal assurance for his safety. Formally declaring his surrender into imperial service, he haggled till midnight. He strategically surrendered 23 forts out of 35 forst demanded (Purandar, Rudramal, Kondana, Karnala, Lohagad, Isagad, Tung, Tikona, Rohida fort, Nardurga, Mahuli, Bhandardurga, Palaskhol, Rupgad, Bakhtgad, Morabkhan, Manikgad (Raigad), Saroopgad, Sagargad, Marakgad, Ankola, Songad, and Mangad). He agreed to send his son to mughals as a mansabdAr. Much of these were part of the nizAmshAhI konkan ceded to Awrangzeb by Adil shAh but captured by shivAjI.

jayasiMha did not treacherously seize or kill shivAjI - to get continued complaiance from marAThas (as per his letter to awrangzeb). Awrangzeb confirmed the treaty in a farmAn dated 5th Sep. With this, shivAjI’s secret alliance with AdilshAhi-s was broken - and shivAjI started capturing the part of Adil shAhI territory reserved for him under the treaty.

In addition to specific puṇyakālas like ṣaḍaśīti, viṣṇupadī etc., this is also useful, especially in cases where the other puṇyakālas are inconvenient for appropriate performance of rituals such as snāna, dāna, tarpaṇa, etc.

When the transit of the Sun (saṅkrānti) happens in the second half of the day (aparāhṇa) and before midnight, the second half of the day is a puṇyakāla for various observances. In addition to 16 ghatikas on either side of the transition, and specific puṇyakālas like ṣaḍaśīti, viṣṇupadī etc., this is also useful, especially in cases where the other puṇyakālas are inconvenient for appropriate performance of rituals such as snāna, dāna, tarpaṇa, etc.

Event occured on 1897-06-22 (gregorian).

Chāpekar brothers killed W. C. Rand.

On 22 June 1897, the Diamond Jubilee of the coronation of Queen Victoria was celebrated in Pune. In his autobiography Damodar Hari writes that he believed the jubilee celebrations would cause Europeans of all ranks to go to the Government House, and give them the opportunity to kill Rand. The brothers Damodar Hari and Balkrishna Hari selected a spot of Ganeshkhind road, by side of a yellow bungalow to shoot at Rand. Each armed with a sword and a pistol. Balkrishna in addition carried a hatchet. They reached Ganeshkhind, they saw what looked like Rand’s carriage pass by, but they let it go, not being sure, deciding to attack him on his way back. They reached Government House at 7.00 – 7.30 in the evening, the sun had set and darkness began to set in. A large number of people had gathered to witness the spectacle at the Government House. There were bonfires on the hills. The swords and the hatchets they carried made movement without raising suspicion difficult, so they cached them under a stone culvert near the bungalow. As planned, Damodar Hari waited at the gate of the Government House, and as Rand’s carriage emerged, ran 10 – 15 paces behind it. As the carriage reached the yellow bungalow, Damodar made up the distance, and called out “Gondya ala re”, a predetermined signal for Balkrishna to take action. Damodar Hari undid the flap of the carriage, raised it and fired from a distance of about a span. It was originally planned that both would shoot at Rand, so as to ensure that Rand would not live, however Balkrishna Hari lagged behind and Rand’s carriage rolled on, Balkrishna Hari meanwhile on the suspicion that the occupants of the following carriage were whispering to each other, fired at the head of one of them from behind. Lieutenant Ayerst, Rand’s military escort who was riding in the following carriage died on the spot, Rand was taken to Sassoon Hospital where he succumbed to his injuries 3 July 1897.

Khando Vishnu Sathe on a cycle on his way back to Pune city shouted at a home “गणेश खिंडीत गणपती पावला हो !” (Ganpati of Ganesh Valley has favoured us!) From the window, Lokmanya Tilak appeared, smiled and closed the window.

Context:

That year, in spite of the plague, British were adamant to conduct Matric exams of the students (10/11th equivalent.) Angered by the rude and adamant behavior of the officers, the Chapekar brothers burned the exam canopy down to ashes. The British officers used to examine the ppl, especially women, publicly by removing their cloths and molesting them. Many women were raped and molested by these officers who were appointed “Just to examine”.

पुगऴ्त्तुणै नायऩ्मार् (५६) गुरुपूजै

Observed on Āśrēṣā nakshatra of Mithunam (sidereal solar) month (Prātaḥ/paraviddha).

Between the 6th and 9th centuries, in South India, there existed 63 ardent devotees of Lord Shiva, collectively known as the Nayanmars. These devout individuals, hailing from various walks of life including potters, fishermen, farmers, merchants, priests, hunters, and washermen, created devotional songs still sung by followers around the globe. Among these Nayanmars, Appar, Sambandar, and Sundarar, known for their Thevaram hymns, along with Manikkavasagar, are distinguished as the Samayacharyas or the ‘The Four’ (ta:nālvar) revered teachers of the faith. They were instrumental in promoting the Shaiva Siddhanta philosophy and culture, effectively challenging the spread of Jainism and Buddhism. Their teachings centered around the concept that Shiva embodies love, and that embracing love for all beings and existence is essential in connecting with Shiva, the Supreme Being.

This Nayanmar, a devout Adi Shaiva from Seruviliputhur (presently Azhagaputhur), was deeply committed to serving Lord Shiva as a temple priest. His daily ritual included bathing the deity with mantras and conducting Puja according to Shiva Agamas. During a severe famine, he faced extreme financial hardship and could not afford food, yet his devotion to his duties was unwavering. Despite his growing physical weakness, he persisted in performing the Puja, his love for the deity undiminished. On one occasion, as he was performing the Abhishekam (bathing ritual), he became so weak that he accidentally dropped the water pot onto the Lingam, leading him to faint from exhaustion.

In his unconscious state, he had a dream in which Lord Shiva assured him of providing a gold coin daily in the temple until the end of the famine. This divine intervention would enable him to buy food and sustain himself. Upon awakening, he discovered the dream to be a reality; a gold coin miraculously appeared in the temple every day. This divine support allowed him to survive the famine and continue his devoted service. He maintained his dedication to the temple rituals and eventually attained the blessed abode of Lord Shiva.

He is depicted with folded hands (Anjali mudra) and sometimes holding a pot of water! Pugazh Thunai Nayanmar, along with his wife Lakshmi, is revered in the front hall of the Padikasu Nathar Temple (Swarnapureeshwarar Temple https://maps.app.goo.gl/SxWDzUZtebtbp3WEA). Their lineage still upholds the tradition of serving as priests in the temple. As a tribute to the story of Pugazh Thunai Nayanar, worshippers place two coins at the base of the lingam, and then carry one of these coins back with them as a token.

राजपुत्रेभ्यो मालव-गुजरात-समर्पणम् #३१३

Event occured on 1710-06-22 (gregorian). Julian date was converted to Gregorian in this reckoning.

On this day, Jai Singh 2 of amber and ajit singh of mArvAr were invited to mogol court, honered and presented governership of mAlvA and gujarat by mogol emperor bahAdur shAh, ending their 2 year rebellion.

Then they started fighting, gaining victory after victory. The Rajput Rajas had formed military ouposts at Rewari and Narnaul, 45 miles from Delhi and sent their armies towards Delhi, Rohtaka and Agra to harass the Mughals. Jai Singh also started sending letters to the Bundelas, Sikhs and the Marathas in order to spread discontent in the country against the Mughals. The rise of Banda Singh Bahadur and death of the faujdar of Sarhind further caused fear in the Mughal court.

माणिक्कवाचकर् गुरुपूजै

Observed on Maghā nakshatra of Mithunam (sidereal solar) month (Prātaḥ/paraviddha).

Between the 6th and 9th centuries, in South India, there existed 63 ardent devotees of Lord Shiva, collectively known as the Nayanmars. These devout individuals, hailing from various walks of life including potters, fishermen, farmers, merchants, priests, hunters, and washermen, created devotional songs still sung by followers around the globe. Among these Nayanmars, Appar (Thirunavukkarasar), Sambandar, and Sundarar, known for their Thevaram hymns, along with Manikkavachakar, are distinguished as the Samayacharyas or the ‘The Four’ (ta:nālvar) revered teachers of the faith. They were instrumental in promoting the Shaiva Siddhanta philosophy and culture, effectively challenging the spread of Jainism and Buddhism. Their teachings centered around the concept that Shiva embodies love, and that embracing love for all beings and existence is essential in connecting with Shiva, the Supreme Being.

Notably, Manikkavachakar is not counted among the Nayanmars, but holds an equally exalted position among Shaiva Saints. Originally named Vadavurar, he was born into a family of Shaivite priests in 9th-century Thiruvadavur near Madurai. He ascended to the position of prime minister in the court of the Pandyan king. Legend has it that one day, while on a mission to buy war horses with funds entrusted by the king, Vadavurar encountered an ascetic, who was none other than Lord Shiva, and his disciples under a tree. Captivated by the sage, Vadavurar embraced him as his spiritual teacher and, through meditation, attained enlightenment. This profound experience led him to forsake his worldly duties and responsibilities, using the royal funds to construct the Athmanathaswami Temple (Avudaiyarkoil).

Manikkavachakar sacred writings, known for their deep spiritual insight and beauty, make up the eighth volume of Thirumurai. His hymns, filled with longing, spiritual struggles, and yogic insights, glorify the Namasivaya mantra and emphasize the importance of developing love for Shiva. His profound influence extended to the king, who, after a divine encounter with Lord Shiva, renounced his throne for a spiritual path.

Manikkavachakar’s life and spiritual journey are commemorated in sculptures at the Madurai Meenakshi Sundareshvara Temple and the Chidambaram Nataraja Temple, where he spent his final years. His legacy continues to inspire devotion and the pursuit of spiritual enlightenment.

अमरनीति नायऩ्मार् (७) गुरुपूजै

Observed on Pūrvaphalgunī nakshatra of Mithunam (sidereal solar) month (Prātaḥ/paraviddha).

Between the 6th and 9th centuries, in South India, there existed 63 ardent devotees of Lord Shiva, collectively known as the Nayanmars. These devout individuals, hailing from various walks of life including potters, fishermen, farmers, merchants, priests, hunters, and washermen, created devotional songs still sung by followers around the globe. Among these Nayanmars, Appar, Sambandar, and Sundarar, known for their Thevaram hymns, along with Manikkavasagar, are distinguished as the Samayacharyas or the ‘The Four’ (ta:nālvar) revered teachers of the faith. They were instrumental in promoting the Shaiva Siddhanta philosophy and culture, effectively challenging the spread of Jainism and Buddhism. Their teachings centered around the concept that Shiva embodies love, and that embracing love for all beings and existence is essential in connecting with Shiva, the Supreme Being.

Amaraneedi Nayanmar, a Vaisya from Pazhaiyaarai in the Chola Kingdom, was a prosperous trader and a devout follower of Lord Shiva. Despite his wealth and involvement in worldly affairs, he remained deeply committed to serving Shiva Bhaktas (devotees of Lord Shiva). He practiced the sacred ritual of Maaheswara Puja, which involved reverently welcoming and serving Shiva Bhaktas, believing that serving them was as important as worshipping Lord Shiva himself.

Desiring to devote himself more fully to this service, Amaraneedi Nayanmar moved to Tirunallur with his family, where he built a Mutt for accommodating Shiva Bhaktas. His devotion caught Lord Shiva’s attention, who decided to test and reveal Nayanmar’s devotion to the world. Disguised as a Brahmachari, Lord Shiva visited Nayanmar’s Mutt and entrusted him with a Kowpeenam (loincloth), claiming it was precious. However, Lord Shiva made the Kowpeenam disappear, leading to a situation where Amaraneedi Nayanmar couldn’t return it.

Despite Amaraneedi Nayanmar’s attempts to offer other wealth as compensation, the Brahmachari insisted on a Kowpeenam of equal value. When all Amaraneedi Nayanmar’s wealth could not match the weight of the Brahmachari’s Kowpeenam, representing the Vedas and Shastras, Amaraneedi Nayanmar, in desperation, placed himself, his wife, and child on the scale, and declared, If my service to the Shiva Bhaktas has indeed been genuine and heartfelt, may this scale balance with the other.'' Instantly, equilibrium was achieved between the two scales. This demonstrated that the value of Amaraneediar’s devoted and altruistic service to the devotees of Lord Shiva was on par with the significance of Lord Shiva’s Kowpeenam.

Witnessing this, the people around were amazed, and the Brahmachari revealed his true form as Lord Shiva, accompanied by Mother Parvathi. They blessed Amaraneedi Nayanmar and his family for their sincere service and charity, granting them eternal residence in Shiva’s Abode. The balance they were weighed on transformed into a celestial vehicle, carrying them to the divine realm. This story exemplifies the profound spiritual merit of selfless service and devotion to the devotees of the divine.

कर्णपुर-जयः #१६६

Event occured on 1857-06-25 (gregorian).

As the British forces at kAnpur surrendered on 25 June 1857, Nana was declared Peshwa in late June.

On June 27, the british making their way on gangA at Satichaura Ghat were killed or captured (it’s unclear who fired teh first shot). Around 120 women and children were taken prisoner and eventually moved to Bibighar; later more were added.

Using them for bargaining failed - and eventually, they were massacred on July 15 despite protestations (including hunger strike) of nAnA-saheb’s family, and hesitency / refusal of the soldiers - partly in anger at reports of violence by British against villagers. Finally, owner of the place, begum hussaini khAnum, a harlot, hired butchers to finish them off with cleavers. The British extracted their terrible vengence later.

maNi-rAm, aka bhAi maNi singh, a fine scholar and warrior, shiShya of the last 4 sikh gurus + bandA vairAgI, aged 94, was dismembered limb by limb.

Reason: Governor of Lahore, Zakaria Khan, expected Rs 5k in return for permission to celebrate divAlI at harmandir. But, knowing that he intended a slaughter (in collusion with divAn lakhpat rAi), the sikhs did not turn up - so maNi could not pay the money.

When a tripādanakṣatra is conjoined with a bhadrā tithi i.e. dvitīyā, saptamī or dvādaśī, and this falls on a Tuesday, Sunday or Saturday, it is known as a tripuṣkara-yōgaḥ. When only two of these coincide, it is known as dvipuṣkara. These are specially auspicious times, and are excluded for aparakarmas such as ūnamāsikaśrāddham.

Translated firman (from Farsi)

I BEGIN IN THE NAME OF MERCIFUL AND KIND GOD.
THE WHOLE WORLD BELONGS TO GOD.
IMMAM ALI ALI ADILSHA
son of MAHOMED ADILSHAH.

This gracious Royal Firman is issued to KANHOJI JEDHE, TO WIT :-
Since the beginning of the year 1059, Shivaji out of narrow-mindedness and evil propensities has started troubling the Mahomedans residing in the Province of Konkan belonging to the Nizamshahi. He has also plundered them.

He has captured many forts in the Padshahi (our) Province; therefore in order to drive him out and conquer him, we have appointed Afzulkhan possessed of valour and prestige, the most capable and efficient of our noblemen, the most vadiant, resourceful and successful Ruler, (the noblest of our chiefs who is always victorious) the Chief Commander, as the Governor of that Province, and we have sent him there with his most valiant army. He has been sent by us.

You must carry out his commands and fulfil his requirements to his complete satisfaction. You must loyally obey all his commands and help him, so that Shivaji may be driven out and uprooted root and branch. You must not give his men and volunteers, wherever they may be or from wheresoever they may come, any quarter or opportunity - but must kill them. You must give a good account of yourself to this Court and then whatever Afzulkhan may write to us and recommend about rewarding your services and honouring you, will be done by us. Whatever Afzulkhan may say or write regarding our services and whatever he may direct you to do, you will obey implicitly. You should carry out his wishes and this will bring you a good result. You must act according to the orders contained in this Royal

Firman written on the 5th day of Shavval in the year 1069. (16-6-1659 Julian).

हल्दीघाटी-युद्धम् #४४७

Event occured on 1576-06-28 (gregorian). Julian date was converted to Gregorian in this reckoning.

On this day, pratApasiMha and his subjects (from all varNa-s including v1 and v3 to bhils) fought mogols at haldIghATI.

The mogol side was led by the traitorous Kacchavaha general of Akbar, Man Singh. They outnumbered pratAp’s side 5:1; and were filled with professional soldiers. (Prof K S Gupta: Most Rajput treaties [eg. 1569 Bundi-Mughal treaty] with Akbar had a clause that they would not be asked to join arms against Mewar. Kachhwahas were the only exception.)

From Vanguard to rear:

  • 85 Arab commandos under the vicious Arab general Sayyid Hashim al Barhai.
  • Then, Kacchavaha Hindu horsemen led by Rao Jagannath + horsemen of Mohammedan Mongols under Baqshi Ali Asaf Khan, the Khwaja of Kazvin in Persia.
  • Then the Iltmish brigade under the cousin of Man Singh, Madhav Singh with the second Kacchavaha corps. The center was under Man Singh with the third Kacchavaha force.
  • 3 brigades of the left wing:
    • Tajiks under Mullah Ghazi Khan, the veteran Jihadist from Tajikistan.
    • The traitor Rao Lonakarna leading a force of Kacchavahas from the Sambhar lake.
    • The Shaikhzada division formed by the prolific clansmen of Sufi Shaikh Salim Chishti.
  • The right-wing was formed by the vicious Arab clansmen of Sayyid Hashim al Barhai.
  • The rear-guard was formed by the brigade of Mihtar Khan and his Central Asian Kazakh warriors.

pratApasiMha’s side:

  • frontline charging force under Ramdas Rathod, the valiant son of Jaimal who died defending Chittor. Supported by Bhim Singh, the Rao Chundavat, and Hakim Khan Sur with his fellow Pathans who stayed true to his pledge despite being enticed for jihAd (Afghans having been deposed by bAbur’s invasion).
  • Pratap in the center with his elite rAjaputras.
  • 2 brigades of the right wing
    • Ram Singh Tanwar the king of Gwalior
    • vaishya division under the valiant 3 sons and the brother Tarachand of the rich businessman Bahman (aka bhAmA) Shah
  • Left wing - Jhala clan of the Rajputs under Mana
  • Reserve
    • brahmin brigade led by Pratap’s purohita Jagannatha
    • brigade formed by the Mehta businessmen and the Charanas
    • Bhil archers under the Bhil chieftain Panja

Thus, all sections of the Hindu society were represented in the struggle to defend against Islamist gAzi-s.

Outcome: Fierce battle. mahArANA pratAp wounded, as was his horse chetak. He escaped to fight on from the forests. By 1579, pratApasiMha would recover much of the western part of his kingdom. Chittor and the rest of eastern Mewar continued to remain under Mughal control.

लाल-कन्हय्या-हत्या #१

Event occured on 2022-06-28 (gregorian).

On this anniversary (as per Gregorian calendar) of the battle of Haldighati, in the very same udayapura of mahrANa pratApasiMha, at about 2:45PM, two young jihAdis - Mohammed Riyaz Akhtar and Mohammed Ghous - posing as customers suddenly attacked and murdered a tailor kanhaiya lAl when he was taking measurements. They had circulated videos threatening to carry out the attack (and instigating correligionist mobsters to do the same); also a video of the attack, and further a post-attack video boasting of the attack with display of bloody butcher knifes, with threats to Prime Minister Narendra Modi.

Motive

Nupur Sharma, BJP spokesperson, in a heated TV debate in the background of the discovery of a shiva-linga being used to wash feet in jNAnavApI masjid in kAshI and subsequent mocking of hindu reverence, had referred to the account (from the authoritative Islamic hadis shAhih bhukari) of impregnation of a 9 year old by “sab se nek insAn” of the “religion of peace”. This upset a lot of muslims, who began making death threats to varied hindu-s, including those who supported Nupur Sharma’s right to refer to authoritative Islamic beliefs about their prophet - This despite BJP suspending Nupur Sharma in appeasement of Islamic countries and people, Nupur’s apology, and several police complaints and legal action against her.

One of these was kanhaiya lAl, whose social media account had shared some post in support of Nupur. (kanhaiya claimed that it was his son who had inadvertantly shared this post.) On June 11, Lal’s neighbor Nazim had registered a police complaint against him - but kanhaiya got bail. On June 15, Lal had filed a request for protection with the local police after receiving death threats from nAzim and five others. Lal alleged that the group had circulated his photo within their community on social media with a message that Lal should be killed if seen anywhere or if he opens his shop. The police - instead of protecting him, claimed to have mediated and settled the matter.

Radicalization

Both the killers had gone on Haj Umrah pilgrimage.

Mohammed Ghous had, according to later police statements, had developed links with Dawat-e-Islami and Tehrik-e-Labiak (barelvi), the Islamist organizations from the Islamic Republic of Pakistan, had visited that terrorist state in 2014 and maintained whatsapp contact thereafter.

Riyaz Akhtari used to work at a local mosque in Udaipur and was involved in spreading religious propaganda. He had lived in Dubai. Even as he was quite radicalized (he acquired in 2013 the bike number 2611 acquired at cost of Rs 5k - reminiscent of the date of mumbai islamic terror attack by Ajmal Kasab and co), and even though he used to criticize BJP in private, he used to attend BJP events and tried to infiltrate the party. Riyaz’s family had vacated their house on the day of the butchery. He crafted the knifes used for the murder.

Egging by the ulema

Ajmer Sufi Dargah - whose Sarwar Chishti said he will make India tremble through his upcoming agitation; whose Gauhar Chishti met Udaipur killers; whose Salman Chishti announced a reward for beheading Nupur - has an annual income of Rs 200 crores (70% from Hindus).

Aftermath

A handful of people were there at the place, all fled - only a Rajput assistant, Ishwar Singh fought the Jihadis, sustained severe injuries and was admitted to Maharana Bhupal Hospital.) The assailants fled on foot and then drove away on a motorcycle (with special number 2611). Rajput boys Shakti Singh and Prahlad Singh Chudawat of Rajsamand trailed the Udaipur killers and helped Police nab them.

Members of Hindu organizations instantly protested, and refused to allow the police to remove the body until the culprits were captured at 8 PM.

Local authorities of Udaipur imposed a 24-hour curfew and blocked internet access across the state of Rajasthan. Thousands of people rallied and protested in udayapura. Within a day of the murder, hindus had gathered over a crore rupees for the Hindu tailor’s family and that of the injured Ishvar Singh.

Event occured on 1676-06-29 (gregorian). Julian date was converted to Gregorian in this reckoning.

(AShADha k4) - Netaji pAlkar ghar-vApasI.

After Shivaji’s escape from Agra, Aurangzeb, as a revenge, ordered Jai Singh to arrest Netaji Palkar. Netaji Palkar was then converted to Islam. His wives were thereafter brought to Delhi and also converted for him to remarry them in the Islamic way. Taking up the name of Muhammed Kuli Khan, Netaji Palkar was appointed as garrison commander of the Kandahar fort in Afghanistan. He tried to escape but was traced and trapped at Lahore. Thereafter on the battlefields of Kandhar and Kabul, he fought for the Mughals against rebel Pathans. Thus he gained the good faith of Aurangzeb and was sent to the Deccan along with Commander Diler Khan to conquer Shivaji’s territory. Here, after 8 years, Netaji joined Shivaji’s troops and went to Raigad. He peformed the prAyashchitta-s and made hindu again.

मदनलाल आङ्ग्लेयं हन्ति #११४

Event occured on 1909-07-01 (gregorian).

Madanlal Dhingra killed Curzon Wyllie, a distinguished British former soldier and head of secret police who were trying to get info about sAvarkar. Dhingra fired five shots right at his face, four of which hit their target.

Dhingra was tried in the Old Bailey on 23 July. He represented himself during his trial but did not recognize the legitimacy of the court. He said: “I hold the English people responsible for the murder of 80 millions of Indian people in the last fifty years, and they are also responsible for taking away £100,000,000 every year from India to this country. … Just as the Germans have no right to occupy this country, so the English people have no right to occupy India, and it is perfectly justifiable on our part to kill the Englishman who is polluting our sacred land.” His supposed last words: “The only lesson required in India at present is to learn how to die, and the only way to teach it is by dying ourselves. My only prayer to God is that I may be re-born of the same mother and I may re-die in the same sacred cause till the cause is successful. Vande Mataram! "

Dhingra was heavily inspired by VD sAvarkar, but was disowned for his political activities by his father Gitta Mall, who was the Chief Medical Officer in Amritsar, who went so far as to publish his decision in newspaper advertisements. After his execution, Dhingra’s body was denied Hindu rites and buried. They refused to turn over the body to Savarkar. Bhagat Singh and Chandrasekhar Azad were inspired by him.

द्वितीयं नञ्जराजवञ्चनं हैदरेण #२६२

Event occured on 1761-07-03 (gregorian).

On 3rd july 1761, Haidar formally occupied the Fort at Srirangapatna and declared himself as “Sarvadhikari and Regent” to the King. Former dalavAi Karachuri Nanjarajaiah, who wanted to re-establish himself at Srirangapatna and had provided crucial assistance to Haidar upon being emotionally swayed, was deceived for the second time by Haidar.

Context
  • Khande Rao came in contact with Haidar Ali in August 1756 when the king entrusted him with 50k gold pieces to be given to Sahbas Sahib (brother of Haidar) and Haidar to enable them to raise an army to defeat the Dalawai brothers who had virtually imprisoned him (the king) in his own palace.
  • Haidar rose to power under Khande Rao with the countenence of Karachuri Nanjarajaiah. In 1758, Khande Rao was made “Dewan” on the recommendation of Haidar and the Dalawais (including Karachuri Nanjarajaiah) were side-lined.
  • By 1759, it was clear that Haidar was getting more and more revenue districts assigned to himself and Khande Rao had seen through Haidar’s intention to fleece the king.
  • The Wodeyar King sought the assistance of the Mahratta army and Khande Rao wrote several letters to George Pigout, Governor General at Madras for help.
  • On 26th August 1760, Khande Rao attacked Haidar at Srirangapatna but let Haidar flee out of sentiment, with the promise that he would retire away from maisUru. Haidar did not keep his promise - he tried regrouping and attacking.
  • Sadly, shortly thereafter marATha forces were recalled after the defeat at pANIpat.
  • Haidar rushed to the feet of the dalvai Karachuri Nanjarajaiah - the latter was swayed and basically let Haidar act on his behalf - sowing utter confusion in the maisUru king’s troops.
  • On 20th June 1761, the royalist divAn Khande Rao was surrendered to the new userper Haidar by a cornered Krishnaraja Wodeyar II.

मनोज-पाण्डेय-वीरगतिः #२४

Event occured on 1999-07-03 (gregorian).

Lieutenant Manoj Kumar Pandey, a young officer of the 1/11 Gorkha Rifles, died conquering Jubar Top from pAkistAni jihAdists on this day.

On the night of 2/3 July 1999, ‘B’ Company of 1/11 Gorkha Rifles approached Jubar top along a narrow ridge. He surged ahead of his troops and charged at the enemy with a full-throated battle cry (जय महाकाली! आयो गारखाली!) through a hail of bullets. Fearlessly assaulting the first enemy position, he killed two enemy personnel and destroyed the second position by killing two more. Although wounded in the shoulder and leg, he pressed on his solitary charge with grim determination, until he closed in on the first bunker. He continued to lead the assault on the fourth position urging his men and destroyed the same with a grenade, even as he got a fatal Medium Machine Gun burst on his forehead.

Entries in Pandey’s personal diary:

  • ‘If death strikes before I prove my blood, I promise (swear), I will kill death!’
  • ‘Some goals are so worthy, it’s glorious even to fail!’

व्याघ्रपर्वताक्रमणारम्भः #२४

Event occured on 1999-07-03 (gregorian).

The final assault on Tiger Hill began on 3 July at 17:15 during Kargil war/ operation vijay.

After artillery pounding for 13 hours, 2 Naga advanced on the right and 8 Sikh advanced on the left. They used unexpected, and therefore difficult, avenues of approach. ghAtak commandoes of 18 Grenadiers advanced up the rear. Just as they reached the top, they were spotted and fired upon. In the early morning hours of 4th July, Yogendra yAdav despite being hit by multiple bullets, climbed up, crawled to the first bunker, downed 4 pAki solidiers with a grenade, charged a second bunker with two others. Hit by 21 bullets, he was to receive PVC later. Maj. Ravinder Singh of 8 Sikh with 200 soldiers launched a daring attack to relieve them.

Aftermath- Most of the Sikh soldiers attacked without cold weather gear, and many of the wounded died from exposure. 18 Grenadiers seized the 16,700-foot (5,062 m) Tiger Hill Top on the morning of 8 July.

बात्रा-विक्रम-वीरगतिः #२४

Event occured on 1999-07-07 (gregorian).

Captain Vikram Batra of 13th battalion, Jammu and Kashmir Rifles, called Shershah by pAkistani jihAdist enemies for his prior bravery, died capturing Point 4875 on this day.

Area Flat Top, an adjacent peak and part of enemy defences on Point 4875 was being held by Capt. N.A. Nagappa till he was rendered unconscious by a shell. Vikram Batra, though still recovering from earlier injuries, insisted on going up to help. Seeing Batra’s determination to save Peak 4875 and the honour of his battalion, several of his company’s soldiers volunteered to accompany him even before any official orders had been issued. Just before leaving, Batra along with the 25 men of D Coy who were to accompany him, prayed at the Durga Mata temple.

His company was tasked to clear a narrow feature with sharp cuttings on either side and heavily fortified enemy defences that covered the only approach to it. For speedy operation, Captain Batra assaulted the enemy position along a narrow ridge and engaged the enemy in a fierce hand –to-hand fight and killed five enemy soldiers at point blank range. Despite sustaining grave injuries, he crawled towards the enemy and hurled grenades clearing the position. Though it was pitch dark, on a foggy snowy night with a near vertical climb, Batra downed 3 machine gun positions. By the time they reached the top, it was daylight. Not finding an alternate route to reach Capt Nagappa, they decided to make a direct daylight frontal assault. Under heavy fire from enemy machine guns and grenade launchers, the captain shouted ‘Durga mata ki jai’, and charged the sangar firing incessantly from his AK-47. Despite injury, he managed to breach it, punch a pAki soldier on the nose before bayoneting him (and downing another). They further captured a machine gun nest, killing 4 pAkis. Realising that one of his men was shot, Batra decided to evacuate him - positioning himself in the front saying ‘You have a family and children to go back to, I’m not even married.’. Then he was fatally shot by enemy sniper, and an RPG splinter caught him.

Earlier victory: During ‘Operation Vijay’, on 20 June 1999, Captain Vikram Batra, Commander Delta Company was tasked to attack Point 5140 of Dras. Leading from the front, he in a daredevil assault, pounced on the enemy and killed four of them in a hand-to hand fight. He radioed the predetermined code: ‘Yeh Dil Mange More!’. Batra was promoted to the rank of captain, and congradulated by the Army chief.

एयर्कोऩ् कलिक्काम नायऩ्मार् (२९) गुरुपूजै

Observed on Rēvatī nakshatra of Mithunam (sidereal solar) month (Prātaḥ/paraviddha).

Between the 6th and 9th centuries, in South India, there existed 63 ardent devotees of Lord Shiva, collectively known as the Nayanmars. These devout individuals, hailing from various walks of life including potters, fishermen, farmers, merchants, priests, hunters, and washermen, created devotional songs still sung by followers around the globe. Among these Nayanmars, Appar, Sambandar, and Sundarar, known for their Thevaram hymns, along with Manikkavasagar, are distinguished as the Samayacharyas or the ‘The Four’ (ta:nālvar) revered teachers of the faith. They were instrumental in promoting the Shaiva Siddhanta philosophy and culture, effectively challenging the spread of Jainism and Buddhism. Their teachings centered around the concept that Shiva embodies love, and that embracing love for all beings and existence is essential in connecting with Shiva, the Supreme Being.

Eyarkon Kalikama Nayanmar, a devout Vellala from Tiruperumangalam in Ponni Nadu, was a dedicated follower of Lord Shiva and belonged to the esteemed Eyarkudi family known for its military leaders. He was deeply troubled by the news that Sundaramurthi Nayanmar had utilised Lord Shiva to resolve a personal dispute with his wife, which led him to question Sundaramurthi’s devotion and his own piety.

In response to Kalikama Nayanmar’s doubts, Lord Shiva intervened by afflicting Kalikama Nayanmar with colic and informed him in a dream that only Sundaramurthi could cure it. However, Kalikama Nayanmar, staunch in his principles, chose to die rather than seek help from Sundaramurthi. Concurrently, Lord Shiva instructed Sundaramurthi in a dream to heal Kalikama Nayanmar.

Upon Sundaramurthi’s arrival, Kalikama Nayanmar had already ended his life. This act of defiance led to a dramatic scene where Sundaramurthi, in despair, attempted to take his own life. At this critical moment, Lord Shiva’s grace miraculously revived Kalikama Nayanmar, leading to a heartfelt reconciliation between the two devotees. Following this profound experience, Kalikama Nayanmar devoted his life to serving Lord Shiva and His devotees, ultimately attaining a place in the divine abode.

भौमाश्विनी-योगः

When Ashwini nakshatra falls on a Tuesday, it is a special yōgaḥ. Do upāsanā of Lakshmi Narasimha. When Rohini nakshatra falls on a Saturday, it is a special yōgaḥ. In the cyclic rotation of time, along with the bad combinations of grahas and nakshatras that indicate the probability of upcoming difficulties, good combinations that grant benefits in multiples also arise. Among such good combinations are the Amrita Siddhi yogas of certain weekdays and nakshatras. They are Sunday-Hasta, Monday-Mrigashirsha, Tuesday-Ashvini, Wednesday-Anuradha, Thursday-Pushya, Friday-Revati, Saturday-Rohini. Good deeds performed on such yogas become especially strong in protecting and nourishing us. For instance, in Devi Atharvashirsha, it is said bhaumāśvinyāṁ mahādevī-sannidhau japtvā mahāmr̥tyuṁ tarati, that is, one can cross even mahāmr̥tyu by doing parayanam when Tuesday and Ashvini join.

आदित्यहस्ते गुरुपुष्ययोगे बुधानुराधा शनिरोहिणी च।
सोमे च सौम्यं भृगुरेवती च भौमाश्विनी चामृतसिद्धियोगाः॥

तारु-सिंह-हत्या #२७८

Event occured on 1745-07-12 (gregorian). Julian date was converted to Gregorian in this reckoning.

On this day died bhAi tAru, arrested and scalped by Mughal governor of Punjab, Zakaria Khan.

Context: They were supplying some food to the sikhs. Though his sister’s freedom was bribed for by the villagers, Singh refused to seek a pardon. Bhai Taru was brought before the Khan and asked him where he got his powers from to undergo all of the agony. His reply was through his keshas (‘unshorn hair’) blessed by Guru Gobind Singh. Zakaria Khan then gave him the choice of either execution or conversion to Islam and having his hair cut off as an offering. Upon his refusal to forsake his religion, in a public display, Bhai Taru Singh’s scalp was cut away from his skull with a sharp knife to prevent his hair from ever growing back. The latter outlived the governor.

When the transit of the Sun (saṅkrānti) happens in the second half of the day (aparāhṇa) and before midnight, the second half of the day is a puṇyakāla for various observances. In addition to 16 ghatikas on either side of the transition, and specific puṇyakālas like ṣaḍaśīti, viṣṇupadī etc., this is also useful, especially in cases where the other puṇyakālas are inconvenient for appropriate performance of rituals such as snāna, dāna, tarpaṇa, etc.

Observed on Amāvāsyā tithi of Āṣāḍhaḥ (lunar) month (Aparāhṇaḥ/vyaapti). The event occurred in 3941 (Kali era).

This preceptor was the son of Viśvajit of Cidambaram through viśiṣṭā; like the Sun who dispels the dense darkness veiling his presence, He was born on the tenth day of the bright fortnight in the month of Vaiśākha in the year Vibhava twelve months after his father’s demise. One who was abandoned as a child in the midst of a forest by his mother herself without any possible solution to her deplorable plight, viz., widowhood, lack of shelter, servitude, insult of relatives fear of slander etc. Who, on crying at a distance was taken by the wife of Vyāghrapāda, to her home and was compassionately breastfed by her after informing her husband. The sage initiated him and imparted the ātmavidyā. Then, the adept in self control/ascetic principles, having completed studies, well-versed in scriptures, having received the grace bestowed by the Universal Preceptor (Śrī Śaṅkara) who manifested of his will before (him), and having received the mighty sacred sandals (of Śrī Śaṅkara) offered by Padmapāda appearing by the side of Śrī Śaṅkara, He (the Dhīraśaṅkara) stayed in Tilvaraṇya. The Universal Preceptor having adorned the seat of KāmaPīṭha, He wandered through the earth triumphant of having wiped off the arrogance of the adherents/scholars of rival schools in eight quarters (of the earth) and established the doctrine of Advaita. He Śaṅkarendra, having conquered easily the Kashmiri scholars Girodbhaṭṭa and others, ascended the SarvajñaPīṭha in Kashmir and though being followed by disciples to the Ātreya caves (in the Himalayas), disappeared alive in the embodied form itself. Thus, the preceptor sage spreading/showering the tenets of Advaya on this sacred earth for fifty-two years and with a desire to spread this noble path in the other world, He disappeared on the new moon day in the month of Āṣāḍha of the Uttarayaṇa in the year Siddhārthi of Kali era 3914. The sage Saccidvilāsa became the preceptor. This preceptor is turīyatīta-Śaṅkara. Some scholars mistake him to be Śrī Śaṅkara Bhagavadpāda and compile biography with inconsistencies.

सर्व-आषाढ (कर्कट) अमावास्या (अलभ्यम्–पुनर्वसुः, पुष्कला)

amāvāsyā of āṣāḍha month, which also falls in the sidereal solar month of kaṭaka.

Details

It is said in Vishnupuranam that when Amavasya overlaps with one of nine nakshatras—Anuradha, Vishakha, Swati, Pushya, Ardra, Punarvasu, Shravishtha, Purvaproshthapada, or Shatabhishak—it is sacred even for Devas. For instance, Shraaddha done on an Amavasya joined with Anuradha, Vishakha, Swati keeps the pitrs satisfied for eight years. Likewise, on Pushya, Ardra and Punarvasu, the pitrs satisfied for twelve years.

विष्णुपुराणे—
अमावास्या यदा मैत्रविशाखास्वातियोगिनी।
श्राद्धे पितृगणस्तृप्तिमवाप्नोत्यष्टवार्षिकीम्॥
अमावास्या यदा पुष्ये रौद्रेऽथः पुनर्वसौ।

वारुणे चाप्यमावास्या देवानामपि दुर्लभा।
नवस्वृक्षेष्वमावास्या यदैतेष्ववनीपते॥

Details

It is said in the Smrtis, that if Amavasya falls on a Monday, Tuesday or Thursday, such a tithi is given the appellation puṣkalā and is as sacred as a solar eclipse.

सर्वनदी-रजस्वला

Observed on day 1 of Karkaṭaḥ (sidereal solar) month (Sūryōdayaḥ/puurvaviddha).

One must not bathe in many (small) rivers during the rainy season. Especially for the first three days of Karkataka masa, these rivers are impure. However, this does not apply to the Mahanadis, owing to their greatness, including Ganga, Yamuna, Sarasvati, Godavari, Kaveri, Shona, Penna, and the Pancha Gangas (Kaveri, Tungabhadra, Krishnaveni, Gautami, Bhagirathi). Exceptions are made in the case of Upakarma, Utsarga, Grahanam, Preta snanam etc., and when new water can be mixed in these rivers, and when there is a lack of other water sources.

हम्मीरदेवो मृतः #७२२

Event occured on 1301-07-18 (gregorian). Julian date was converted to Gregorian in this reckoning.

The accomplished hammIra deva chAhamAna of raNastambhapura (ranthambore) died at the young age of 28, after a long seige at raNastambhapura (ranthambore).

Initially it was Ulugh Khan from Bayana, and his general il-Ghazi Nusrat Khan from Qara - each with regiments of 40,000 Turkish cavalrymen and over 10,000 Kullar (slave/ convert/ castrato) infantrymen with Arraadaas (trebuchets), gargachs (seige engines) and Manjiqs (mangonels) vs elite Rajput cavalry of 12,000 and 40,000 infantrymen with cross-bows, devices that spray fine red hot sand and burning oil. They wiped out the city of Jhain. hammIra beat them back.

Then Alla came forth with 90k cavalry and beseiged raNastambhapura. The nephews of the Rana, Kahnaiya and Bala Simha from Chittor cut through the cordon and brought some supplies and horses. Alla’s efforts were initially futile. Alla then got a Buddhist traitor Sarjan Sah, who for a price, pointed out the location of the granary. Alla with giant trebuchets hurled rotting corpses and refuse into the granary to pollute it. Rajputs were left without viable food. The Rana’s queen Rangaa-Devi immolated herself with the other women. Wearing orange robes, the Rana, his younger brother Viram Deva, his teenaged nephews, his three commanders, Rai Ranadhira, Rai Gangadhara and Kshetra Singh Parmar and the four Mongol brothers with Kehbru at their head advanced to take on the Sultan. The battle is said to have raged so fierce that the Moslems lost 4000 men while the Rana’s troops were whittled down to just 200. The Rana’s horse was shot down and he continued fighting on foot. He placed his arrows in front of him on the ground and started shooting down the Moslem army.

Context: HammIra was a fine ruler, fighter as well as a medical scholar (authoring sadyogamuktAvalI)! khalji ruler Alla-ud-dIn, having murdered jalAl-ud-dIn, decided to exterminate chauhans. Hammira Deva had given refuge to mongol rivals of the khalji turks as well. Ulugh Khan sent a message to the Rana to humbly accept Islam and hand over the Mongol chiefs whom he had sheltered.

Aftermath:

  • Hammira is celebrated as a hero in several texts composed after his death including Nayachandra Suri’s Hammira Mahakavya, Jodharaja’s Hammira-Raso, and Chandrashekhara’s Hammira-Hatha.

  • The Turks captured the Mongol Alaghu and Alla offered him the post of a general. Alaghu said he was not willing to serve a lowly Khalji, whose tribesmen were once Naukers of Chingiz Kha’Khan. Alla had Alaghu crushed under an elephant and his head was exhibited in Delhi as a trophy.

  • The Buddhist traitor Sarjan Sah, hoped a lavish reward from the Sultan, but he was instead clubbed to death.

  • The City of Ranthambhor was blotted out and the Sultan devastated all the temples in the region. Thus ended the power of the Chahamanas in Hindustan. The library of saMskRta works at Ranthambhor was burnt down by the jihAdists; whatever material could be salvaged was collated several years later as a collection of maxims and poetic sketches by Sharngadhara the grandson of Raghavadeva the Brahmin prime minister of Hammira Deva.

    आष्टाविंशे तारुणे वर्षभोगे
    प्राणान् दत्त्वोन्मत्तशूरान् प्रणाश्य।
    क्षात्रे धर्म्मे वैद्यकीयेऽपि सिद्धं
    हम्मीरन् तं चाहमानं नमामः॥

सर्वनदी-रजस्वला

Observed on day 2 of Karkaṭaḥ (sidereal solar) month (Sūryōdayaḥ/puurvaviddha).

One must not bathe in many (small) rivers during the rainy season. Especially for the first three days of Karkataka masa, these rivers are impure. However, this does not apply to the Mahanadis, owing to their greatness, including Ganga, Yamuna, Sarasvati, Godavari, Kaveri, Shona, Penna, and the Pancha Gangas (Kaveri, Tungabhadra, Krishnaveni, Gautami, Bhagirathi). Exceptions are made in the case of Upakarma, Utsarga, Grahanam, Preta snanam etc., and when new water can be mixed in these rivers, and when there is a lack of other water sources.

  • माधवरावो भवति प्रधानमन्त्री #२६२, व्यतीपात-श्राद्धम्
माधवरावो भवति प्रधानमन्त्री #२६२

Event occured on 1761-07-20 (gregorian).

On this day, shortly after the disaster at pAnIpat, the great mAdhavarAv became peshvA, with Raghunathrao (paternal uncle) as co-regent with Gopikabai, Madhavrao’s mother.

Madhavrao’s Peshwaship lasted eleven years and four months, from 20 July 1761 to 18 November 1772, the first two years of which were a period of tutelage. During his last year he was entirely bed-ridden, so that it was only for about eight years that he actively controlled affairs. His activities may be arranged under four main heads, viz. :

    1. His Karnataka expeditions for putting down Haidarali;
    1. His relations with Nizam Ali ;
    1. His struggle first against his own uncle and then against the Bhosles of Nagpur ;
    1. The revival of Maratha power in the north.

बाजी-प्रभु-वीरगतिः #३६३

Event occured on 1660-07-23 (gregorian). Julian date was converted to Gregorian in this reckoning.

It was AshADha k1 (as per jedhe shAkhAvali). bAji prabhu deshpANDe (a kAyastha) leading ~300 men died holding back Adil-shAhi african general siddi masud’s 10k soldiers in a narrow pass while shivAji leading his 300 escaped from panhaLa fort to the beseiged vishAlgad fort (some say he sent out a decoy - Shiva Kashid- as well).

bAjI prabhu bought him time to escape, holding back the pursuing enemy (under Jauhar’s son Siddi Aziz and Afzal Khan’s son Fazl Khan) at the gajapur pass (aka ghoD-khiND, later renamed pAvana-khiND to recall bAhI-prabhu’s sacrifice). shivAjI, after fighting fiercely (supposedly holding daNDapaTTa swords in both hands) at vishAlgaD surroundings for 5 hours, announced his safe entry into vishAlgaD with cannon-fire. It is said that bAjI only then died with relief.

PS: vishAlgad was already under siege by Bijapuri sardars under siddi jauhar - Suryarao Surve and Jaswantrao Dalvi. But shivAjI’s posse, assisted by that of the brAhmaNa chief rango nArAyaN (attacking from Gonimooth hill), relieved the defenders and routed the attackers upon arrival. It’s a thrilling tale, akin to tale of the spartans holding back the persians at the narrow pass at Thermopylae.

Aftermath:

  • bAjI prabhu and most of his men died. Other casualities included his brother Fulaji Prabhu and Shambusing Jadhav. On the sultan’s side - 1k to 5k died in both actions.
  • Shivaji then safely crossed the western ghats and reached his capital Rajgad via Konkan region.
  • Shivaji later personally visited the house of the slain Baji Prabhu and honored and helped his family. It is said that Shivaji’s mother, Jijabai, wept at the news of Baji Prabhu’s death.

Beginning of nabhō-māsaḥ, marked by the transit of Sun into siṁha-rāshī. Also marks the beginning of varṣar̥tuḥ. While nirayana saṅkrānti’s are widely observed, tropical saṅkrānti’s are also equally sacred, and have similar puṇyakālas associated with them.

  • 05:55→12:15

When the transit of the Sun (saṅkrānti) happens in the first half of the day (pūrvāhṇa) or after midnight of the previous day, the first half of the day is a puṇyakāla for various observances. In addition to 16 ghatikas on either side of the transition, and specific puṇyakālas like ṣaḍaśīti, viṣṇupadī etc., this is also useful, especially in cases where the other puṇyakālas are inconvenient for appropriate performance of rituals such as snāna, dāna, tarpaṇa, etc.

द्विपुष्कर-योगः
  • 05:56→15:09

When a tripādanakṣatra is conjoined with a bhadrā tithi i.e. dvitīyā, saptamī or dvādaśī, and this falls on a Tuesday, Sunday or Saturday, it is known as a tripuṣkara-yōgaḥ. The dvipuṣkara occurs when the bhadrā tithis coincide with the same days as above, but with the dvipāda nakṣatras, which are mr̥gaśīrṣa, chitrā and dhaniṣṭhā. Like the tripuṣkara which gives a three-fold multiplier for śubha and aśubha, the dvipuṣkara has a two-fold effect.

त्रिपुष्कराख्योऽदितिवह्निविश्वद्वीशाजपादर्यमभेषु योगः।
भद्राख्यतिथ्योऽर्ककुजार्कजाश्चेच्छुभाशुभेषु त्रिगुणः प्रदिष्टः॥२६॥

त एव तिथिवाराश्चेद् गुरुर्वा कैश्चिदुच्यते॥२७॥

पॆरुमिऴलैक् कुऱुम्ब नायऩ्मार् (२३) गुरुपूजै

Observed on Citrā nakshatra of Karkaṭaḥ (sidereal solar) month (Prātaḥ/paraviddha).

Between the 6th and 9th centuries, in South India, there existed 63 ardent devotees of Lord Shiva, collectively known as the Nayanmars. These devout individuals, hailing from various walks of life including potters, fishermen, farmers, merchants, priests, hunters, and washermen, created devotional songs still sung by followers around the globe. Among these Nayanmars, Appar, Sambandar, and Sundarar, known for their Thevaram hymns, along with Manikkavasagar, are distinguished as the Samayacharyas or the ‘The Four’ (ta:nālvar) revered teachers of the faith. They were instrumental in promoting the Shaiva Siddhanta philosophy and culture, effectively challenging the spread of Jainism and Buddhism. Their teachings centered around the concept that Shiva embodies love, and that embracing love for all beings and existence is essential in connecting with Shiva, the Supreme Being.

Perumizhalai Kurumba Nayanmar was a great devotee of both Lord Shiva and his Guru, Sundaramurthi Nayanmar. He believed that the Guru is God in human form and devoted himself wholeheartedly to Sundarar. Through his faith and devotion, Kurumba Nayanmar attained all the Siddhis (psychic powers) and experienced deep ecstasy in both Shiva Bhakti and Guru Bhakti.

When Sundarar was about to leave the mortal world and attain his place in Shiva’s abode, Kurumba Nayanmar was unable to bear the thought of being separated from his beloved Guru. Using his yogic powers, he learned of Sundarar’s impending departure and decided to join him in the divine realm. Through the practice of Shiva Yoga, Kurumba Nayanmar shed his mortal body and reached Shiva’s abode a day before Sundarar.

Event occured on 2008-07-26 (gregorian).

On this day, 21 synchronised bomb blasts took place within a span of few minutes in Ahmedabad - around 56 died, and 200 injured. Diabolically, 2 blasts took place inside the premises of two hospitals, about 40 minutes after the initial series of blasts. One of the blasts in the hospitals occurred when injured victims of the initial series of blasts were being admitted there. Several bombs were defused in the succeding hours.

Context

Carried out by Indian Mujahideen, an offshoot of Students Islamic Movement of India. In their email traced to Mumbai, they said: “In the name of Allah the Indian Mujahideen strike again! Do whatever you can, within 5 minutes from now, feel the terror of Death!”.

This came after May 13 Jaipur bombings (63 killed), 25 July bengaLUru bombings and was followed by Delhi bombings.

Maulana Abdul Halim, a SIMI mastermind, was arrested a few days later. Several others were later arrested. In 2022, 38 Muslim terrorists were awarded death penalty, while 11 were given life imprisonment.

कऴऱिऱ्ऱऱिवार्/चेरमाऩ् पॆरुमाळ् नायऩ्मार् (३७) गुरुपूजै

Observed on Svātī nakshatra of Karkaṭaḥ (sidereal solar) month (Prātaḥ/paraviddha).

Between the 6th and 9th centuries, in South India, there existed 63 ardent devotees of Lord Shiva, collectively known as the Nayanmars. These devout individuals, hailing from various walks of life including potters, fishermen, farmers, merchants, priests, hunters, and washermen, created devotional songs still sung by followers around the globe.

They were instrumental in promoting the Shaiva Siddhanta philosophy and culture, effectively challenging the spread of Jainism and Buddhism. Their teachings centered around the concept that Shiva embodies love, and that embracing love for all beings and existence is essential in connecting with Shiva, the Supreme Being.

Cheraman Perumal Nayanmar, born as Perum-Ma-Kothayar in Kodunkolur, capital of Malai Nadu (now Kerala), was from the royal Kothayars family. His deep devotion to Lord Shiva flourished with age, leading him to renounce the world for a spiritual life in Tiru Anchaikalam. However, upon the abdication of Sengol Porayan, the king with no heir, Cheraman reluctantly accepted rulership following divine approval, ruling justly and wisely.

Cheraman’s profound devotion led to a divine encounter where he revered a washerman smeared in white, seeing in him an image of Lord Shiva. This act of supreme devotion stunned onlookers. Lord Shiva later sent musician Banapatirar with a palm leaf praising Cheraman’s devotion. Overwhelmed, Cheraman offered his kingdom to Banapatirar, who modestly accepted only what he needed.

Cheraman’s devotion to Lord Nataraja was so intense that he daily heard the divine sound of the Lord’s anklets. Distressed one day by its absence, fearing he had erred, he contemplated suicide but was reassured by a divine voice explaining the delay due to Lord Shiva’s absorption in Sundarar’s hymns. Eager to meet Sundarar and worship Lord Nataraja, Cheraman journeyed to Tillai, where he was enraptured by the Lord’s presence.

In Tiruvarur, Cheraman finally met and befriended Sundarar. Together, they traveled, visiting various shrines and composing hymns. After Sundarar attained liberation in Tiru Anchaikalam, Cheraman, sensing his friend’s departure, also attained the divine abode, where he became chief of Lord Shiva’s ganas.

Their teachings centered around the concept that Shiva embodies love, and that embracing love for all beings and existence is essential in connecting with Shiva, the Supreme Being.

Sundaramurti Nayanmar, born around 800 CE to parents who were themselves Nayanmars (ta:chaḍaiya_nāyanmār (62) and ta:ichaiñāniyār_nāyanmār (63)). He contributed the seventh volume of Thirumurai with his hymns. His life took a dramatic turn during his wedding, when an elderly ascetic adorned with sacred ash and rudraksha beads disrupted the ceremony. The ascetic claimed Sundarar as his servant, presenting a palm-leaf manuscript as evidence. Initially, Sundarar dismissed him as a ‘pitthan’ (madman). However, the authenticity of the palm leaf was confirmed, leading Sundarar to follow the ascetic to the Thiruvennainallur Shiva temple. There, the ascetic vanished into the inner sanctum.

Lord Shiva then appeared, requesting Sundarar to compose a hymn starting with the term ‘pitthan’, which he had used earlier. Sundarar’s inaugural hymn, “Pittha pirai choodi” (O crazy one wearing the crescent moon), was dedicated to the deity at the Tiru Arul Turai Temple (now known as Kripapureeswarar Perumal Temple). This temple was one of the 82 Shiva temples he visited during his brief lifespan of just 18 years. Despite his short life, Sundarar’s contributions significantly enriched Tamil Shaiva literature, marking him as a prominent Nayanmar.

Very widely celebrated in Tamil Nadu temples, Fridays in the month of āḍi are special for propitiating Shakti Devi.

Details
फ़तेह्-सिंह-निष्कासनम् #१०२

Event occured on 1921-07-28 (gregorian).

On this day, British formally deposed mahArANa Fateh Singh of Mewar under some silly pretext. This was the price of sticking to the long sisodiya tradition of refusing to be subservient to Abrahamist barbarians of all sorts.

Context: The great mahArANa, a descendent of rANa kumbha and pratApa-simha of the sisodiya line, was the only Maharaja to not attend the Delhi Durbar of the British royals, both of 1903 and 1911. The darbar-s were a pitiful spectacle - with one silver lining. Out of the more than 500 kings and princes who attended the event, only one chair remained vacant that day.

Then in 1921, when Edward, Prince of Wales, son of King George V and Queen Mary, visited Udaipur, he refused to receive him, citing illness and instead sent his son. This left him at odds with the British.

He gladdened the hearts of his countrymen by keeping his honor. Mahakavi Kesari Singh Barahath wrote to the Rana appealing him to not go to Delhi:

पग पग भम्या पहाड़, धरा छाँड़ राख्यो धरम।
महाराणा मेवाड़ हिरदे बसिया हिन्द रे॥
अब लग साराँ आस राण रीत कुल राखसी।
रहैं सहाय सुखरास एकलिंग प्रभु आप रै॥

“Rana, why does Pratap lives in India’s hearts? Because he protected dharma at the cost of his kingdom. That’s why. All the hopes are now resting on you. Pray keep the honour. May Ekalinga guide and help you.”

Consequence: The rANa’s steadfastness reinforced his house’s unique honor. Theirs was the first signature sardar patel received when absorbing the princely states; theirs was the elephant on which the first Indian president rode.

Event occured on 1928-07-29 (gregorian).

On this day, Muslim rioters showered stones, slippers and even bullets at Hindus reinstalling a gaNapati shrine in their school, which was opposite to Municipal president Abbas Khan’s house.

Context

In June 1928, the students of Hindu Anglo-Vernacular School, Sultanpet, Bengaluru, requested the contractor who was undertaking repair work to the school building, to construct a small shrine or niche over an existing Ganesha idol in a passage of the Hindu Anglo-Vernacular School. The Director of Public Instructions had it stowed away. Students (including those of neighboring schools) demanded that it be restored. This act had the support of an editorial in a newspaper Veerakesari run by Sitarama Sastri; among others. Indian National Congress leaders Ramlal Tiwari, Jamkandi Bhima Rao and H. V. Subramanyam too supported the students. The idol dispute soon evolved into a general protest by Hindus over Muslim dominance and bias in the administration and bureaucracy.

Tiwari, Subrahmanyam and Bhima Rao were arrested on 27 July 1928. A procession of students made its way to Central Jail, Bengaluru where the arrested leaders were kept and were lathi-charged by the state police. The idol was restored to its original place on 29 July and worship at the Ganapati shrine was renewed by over 5,000 Hindus, which prompted the Muslims to attack them with shouts of “Deen, Deen”.

Events

Muslims fired from a roof of a nearby cycle shop and also reportedly from the upper floor of the house of Abbas Khan and at least one boy was hit by a bullet. 123 Hindus and 11 Muslims were injured before the government brought the situation under control.

Aftermath

The Diwan, Sir Mirza Ismail, advised the Maharaja of Mysore, who was residing at Mysuru, “not to come from Mysore to Bangalore till after (the) arrested leaders have been tried”. The Maharaja of Mysore constituted a committee headed by Sir M. Visvesvaraya to enquire into the disturbances, and the committee observed that law and order was completely broken down during the disturbances and the government favoured one side (ie the muslims) in the incident. Noted journalist and scholar DV Gundappa, who had high regard for Mirza Ismail before the incident, stopped talking to him for a long time.

कोट्पुलि नायऩ्मार् (५७) गुरुपूजै

Observed on Jyēṣṭhā nakshatra of Karkaṭaḥ (sidereal solar) month (Prātaḥ/paraviddha).

Between the 6th and 9th centuries, in South India, there existed 63 ardent devotees of Lord Shiva, collectively known as the Nayanmars. These devout individuals, hailing from various walks of life including potters, fishermen, farmers, merchants, priests, hunters, and washermen, created devotional songs still sung by followers around the globe. Among these Nayanmars, Appar, Sambandar, and Sundarar, known for their Thevaram hymns, along with Manikkavasagar, are distinguished as the Samayacharyas or the ‘The Four’ (ta:nālvar) revered teachers of the faith. They were instrumental in promoting the Shaiva Siddhanta philosophy and culture, effectively challenging the spread of Jainism and Buddhism. Their teachings centered around the concept that Shiva embodies love, and that embracing love for all beings and existence is essential in connecting with Shiva, the Supreme Being.

Kotpuli Nayanmar, born in a Vellala family, was the Commander-in-Chief for a Chola king, and a devout follower of Lord Shiva. He religiously bought paddy with his income to donate for the Lord’s offerings in Shiva temples. Before leaving for a military assignment, he left a considerable amount of paddy, specifically designated for temple use, with his family. However, during a famine in his absence, his relatives, suffering from hunger, used this paddy for themselves. Upon returning and discovering this, the Nayanmar, deeply upset by their disregard for his instructions and their disrespect towards the Lord, killed them, including his own parents. His devotion to Lord Shiva surpassed even his familial bonds. In response, Lord Shiva appeared to the Nayanmar, blessing him and granting salvation to him and all the relatives who perished by his hand.

Their teachings centered around the concept that Shiva embodies love, and that embracing love for all beings and existence is essential in connecting with Shiva, the Supreme Being.

Kaliya Nayanmar, a resident and oil merchant of Tiruvotriyur, was known for his deep devotion to Lord Shiva, particularly expressed through his daily service of lighting lamps in the temple. Initially affluent, he faced a dramatic turn of fortune when the Lord, to demonstrate Kaliya Nayanmar’s unwavering faith, led him into poverty. This sudden change in his circumstances also brought about a lack of support from his family.

In his commitment to continue his service to the Lord, Kaliya Nayanmar resorted to manual labour to earn enough to buy oil for the temple lamps. However, as his situation worsened, even this means became unfeasible. Driven to desperation, he considered selling his wife, but this plan too did not materialise, as no one was willing to buy her. Facing utter despair and determined to fulfill his service, Kaliya Nayanmar contemplated using his own blood as a substitute for the oil to keep the temple lamps burning! At this poignant moment of self-sacrifice, Lord Shiva intervened, stopping Kaliya Nayanmar from harming himself, and blessed him, acknowledging his profound devotion and selfless service.

केरल-रामसिंह-हत्या #७६

Event occured on 1947-08-02 (gregorian).

Ramasimhan, his brother Dayasimhan, Dayasimhan’s wife Kamala (daughter of Mangalath Manaykal Narayanan Nambudiri), their cook Raju Iyer and other members of the family were butchered by Islamist Jihadists in Malaparamba, Malappuram district on this day for converting to Hinduism from Islam, just two weeks before the independence, on this day at 2AM. The jihadis completely demolished the Narasimha Temple, looted the house, threw the idol into the pond, fulled the temple well with debris of the compound wall.

The massacre of Ramasimham’s family was said to be sponsored by his Muslim father-in-law who couldn’t bear their conversion to Hinduism.

Events

The muslim clerics had held a secret meeting, declared Ramasimhan an apostate and decided to inflict the death sentence on him, according to the Sharia. The then IS, Izzatul Islam, which was formed to help the new converts, was assigned the killing job.Seven people from Pookottur,formed the death squad - Paramban Mammad, Kunyatkalathil Moideen Kutty, Puliyan Muhammad, Muttayilkaran Aymutty, Nanath Kunjalavi, Kalathinkal Kunhamu and Illikkappadi Ayamu. They met at the estate of Abubakar Haji, prayed and began their journey with a gun and 20 bullets.

Background

Ramasimhan’s father Moidu Saheb, was trained in rubber cultivation. Moidu Saheb occupied 600 acres of Narasimha Moorti Temple land in Malaparamba, Malappuram. He started cultivating rubber in the Temple land, managed to get the land on lease and even constructed a bungalow in front of the Temple. Moidu and his sons Unnyen and Alippu, took out granite slabs and other beautiful ornate structures from the Temple and used them for his bungalow. The local Hindus, though horrified at the loot of the Temple could not muster any protest as they had suffered more than 10,000 deaths, thousands of rapes and plunder at the hands of the Moplahs in the anti-Hindu riots under the garb of Khilafat Movement.

Unnyen soon fell very sick and all medical treatment proved very futile. The astrologer asked him to rebuild the Narasimha Moorti Temple, which was in ruins and desecrated by his own father. Unnyen rebuilt the Temple and started worshipping Narasimha Bhagwan. He miraculously recovered from his illness. Unnyen, his brother Alippu and the whole family became Bhaktas of Mahavishnu.

The whole family, Unnyen, his brother Alippu, Alippu’s wife and Unnyen’s sons Moidu and Moidootty underwent a Gharwapasi ceremony conducted by the Arya Samaj under Buddha Singh and embraced Hinduism in 1946. The incident was splashed in dailies and published in Fort St George Gazette. They also renamed themselves as Ramasimhan, Dayasimhan, Kamala, Fateh Singh and Swaravar Singh respectively (the names of Guru Gobind Singh’s two valiant sons).

They also became strict vegetarians, led a very pious religious life as Hindus. Ramasimhan became a peace loving person. He returned his guns and licensed revolvers to the government which he was using earlier for hunting.He told the government that he no more need the guns, since now he believed in non violence. Uneen dressed up like a brahmin and converted the mosque in front of his home,into his visitor’s room for hindu saints and priests who frequemntly visited his home and performed pujas. He stopped gifts to mosques and began contributing to temples.

Kunjahammed, Uneen’s younger brother decided to reconvert into Islam, in 1946. He held a meeting of prominent muslims and clerics, to persuade Uneen to revert back.About 30 attended. Ramasimhan,who had thorougly studied hinduism by then,debated successfully with the muslim clerics. The clerics announced that Ramasimhan was possessed by a Kafir Jin and he need to consume 14 oranges,which were ritually blessed. Ramasimhan refused. When a Maulavi criticised the re-conversion as a great mistakes on the part of Ramasimhan, he retorted: “I have not committed any mistake. It was my grandmother who, on being captured by Muslims, committed the fault of converting to Islam. I am re-converting to Hinduism to rectify for the fault and atone for the sin of my grandmother.”

Aftermath

Their dismembered bodies remained untouched for two days till the Police came. The local Hindus did not dare to claim the bodies to cremate them according to Hindu rituals. They were buried in some corner near old Travellers Bungalow in Malaparamba. Only one Hindu, the RSS pracharak from Nagpur, Sankara Sasthri, was present.

The weapons used for the murder were retrieved from the Kulathur Muthalakkot pond in which they were dumped. Four of the murderers were sentenced to death by the District and Sessions Court at Palghat. The Muslim fundamentalists rallied behind the marauders and raised a huge sum of money for their legal assistance on appeal in the High Court of Madras. The evidence was destroyed and prosecution witnesses were threatened and coerced into silence. Justice Lionel Clifford Horwill ( ICS) acquitted them saying - “if the police were unable to obtain more evidence it was because the Moplah community largely succeeded in maintaining secrecy”.

The young children Fateh Singh and Swaravar Singh escaped death as they were studying in Birla School, Delhi. But, confidants were compelled to hand over the guardianship of his sons to his father-in-law Unni Kammu who forcibly reconverted them to Islam later.

The demolished Narasimhan Temple was re-built in late 1990s due to valiant efforts of the trust, aided by late RSS Pracharaks CP Janardhanan and late RSS Pracharak and former BMS President, R Venugopalan. The temple and the 60 cents around it have been handed over to the hindus, after a prolonged legal battle.

In 2021, film director Ali Akbar drew inspiration (and name) from rAmasiMhan when he renounced Islam in protest to Islamist celebrations on social media following the news of the death of General Bipin Rawat.

उगाण्डाया भारतीयानां निष्कासनम् #५१

Event occured on 1972-08-04 (gregorian).

On this day, the crazy yet functional president of Uganda, “His Excellency, President for Life, Field Marshal Al Hadji Doctor Idi Amin Dada, VC, DSO, MC, CBE, Lord of All the Beasts of the Earth and Fishes of the Seas and Conqueror of the British Empire in Africa in General and Uganda in Particular”, ordered the expulsion of his country’s Indian (mostly Hindu) minority, giving them 90 days to leave the country.

At the time of the expulsion, there were approximately 80,000 individuals of South Asian descent in Uganda, of whom 23,000 had had their applications for citizenship both processed and accepted. A further 50,000 were British passport holders.

Context
  • British rulers had brought in Indian laborers to build railways. After the job, some 6,724 remained. Thence their numbers grew.
  • They came to be well-off relative to the natives. Asians owned many large businesses in Uganda but the purge of Asians from Uganda’s economy was virtually total. Gated ethnic communities served elite healthcare and schooling services.
  • Milton Obote’s government had pursued a policy of “Africanisation”. Indophobia was already engrained by the start of Amin’s rule in February 1971.
Aftermath
  • 27,200 emigrated to the United Kingdom. 6,000 went to Canada (egged by Aga Khan in favor of Nizari Ismailis), 4,500 refugees ended up in India and 2,500 went to nearby Kenya or to Pakistan. Kenya and Tanzania similarly closed their borders to stop refugees. UN organized an airlift when Idi telegrammed them hinting at Hitler.
  • Even those who had formal Ugandan citizenship chose to leave rather than endure further intimidation, with less than 4,000 known to have stayed. By the time Amin’s regime collapsed in 1979, it was rumoured that there were no more than 50 Asians in Uganda.
  • Some 5,655 firms, ranches, farms, and agricultural estates were expropriated (their sale having been deliberately restricted), along with cars, homes and other household goods. Aka “Operation Mafuta Mingi”.
  • Ugandan soldiers during this period engaged in theft and physical and sexual violence against the Asians with impunity.
  • There was international condmenation. United Kingdom froze a £10.4 million loan.
  • While the expulsion was initially popular in Uganda, mismanagement of the resources resulted in economic difficulties.
  • Thousands of Indians returned to Uganda starting in 1986 when Yoweri Museveni assumed power and invited them back.

ककोरि-लुण्ठनम् #९८

Event occured on 1925-08-09 (gregorian).

On 9 August 1925, the Train travelling from Shahjahanpur to Luckno was approaching the town of Kakori, when one of the revolutionaries pulled the emergency chain to stop the train and looted 3 bags with 8k rupees (allegedly belonging to the Indians and was being transferred to the British government treasury). One passenger was accidentally killed.

Their leaders Ram Prasad Bismil and Ashfaqullah Khan were arrested later and killed. While in jail, the prisoners went on hunger strikes refusing to be treated like other criminals. There were widespread protests and failed clemency petitions.

मूर्त्ति नायऩ्मार् (१५) गुरुपूजै

Observed on Kr̥ttikā nakshatra of Karkaṭaḥ (sidereal solar) month (Prātaḥ/paraviddha).

Between the 6th and 9th centuries, in South India, there existed 63 ardent devotees of Lord Shiva, collectively known as the Nayanmars. These devout individuals, hailing from various walks of life including potters, fishermen, farmers, merchants, priests, hunters, and washermen, created devotional songs still sung by followers around the globe. Among these Nayanmars, Appar, Sambandar, and Sundarar, known for their Thevaram hymns, along with Manikkavasagar, are distinguished as the Samayacharyas or the ‘The Four’ (ta:nālvar) revered teachers of the faith. They were instrumental in promoting the Shaiva Siddhanta philosophy and culture, effectively challenging the spread of Jainism and Buddhism. Their teachings centered around the concept that Shiva embodies love, and that embracing love for all beings and existence is essential in connecting with Shiva, the Supreme Being.

Murthi Nayanmar, a devout Vaisya from Madura in the Pandya kingdom, was known for his devotion to Lord Shiva, particularly through the offering of sandalwood paste. However, his devotion was tested when a Jain king from Karnataka conquered Madura and began persecuting Shaivites, including Murthi Nayanmar. Determined to spread Jainism and eliminate Shaivism, the king made it difficult to obtain sandalwood in Madura.

Despite these challenges, Murthi Nayanmar’s devotion remained steadfast. After spending the entire day in a fruitless search for even a small amount of sandalwood for his worship, he found himself empty-handed. Heartbroken, he still made his way to the temple. There, struck by a sudden inspiration, he began to rub his own elbow vigorously as a substitute for the sandalwood! This intense action caused his hand to bleed profusely. Moved by this act of devotion, Lord Shiva intervened, healing his elbow and commanding him to take up kingship, promising redress for his grievances and eventual ascension to Shiva’s abode.

The Jain king died that night, and following an ancient custom, an elephant was sent out to choose the new ruler. The elephant selected Murthi Nayanmar at the temple. Though hesitant, Nayanmar accepted the kingship on the condition that he would continue his austere religious practices, including bathing in sacred ashes and adorning himself only with Rudraksham and matted locks. His primary goal as king was to foster the love of Lord Shiva among his people.

Murthi Nayanmar’s rule was marked by justice and wisdom. He remained a devout follower of Lord Shiva throughout his reign and, fulfilling the divine promise, eventually attained Shiva’s Abode.

Their teachings centered around the concept that Shiva embodies love, and that embracing love for all beings and existence is essential in connecting with Shiva, the Supreme Being.

Pugal Chola Nayanmar was a revered king living in Uraiyur, part of the Chola kingdom. He was deeply devoted to Lord Shiva and his devotees, earning him the admiration and love of his people who emulated his piety and virtues.

On a mission to collect tributes from the kings of Kuda Nadu in Karur, all complied except for a minor king named Adigan. Pugal Chola Nayanmar’s army invaded Adigan’s fort, leading to a battle where Adigan fled, his fort was destroyed, and many were killed. The army returned to Pugal Chola Nayanmar with the spoils of war, including the heads of those slain.

Among these heads, the king shockingly discovered one that bore the distinctive braid of a Shiva devotee. Overwhelmed with guilt for having inadvertently caused the death of a devotee, Pugal Chola Nayanmar decided to atone for this grave sin. He carried the head of the devotee on a golden plate, circled a large fire while chanting the sacred Panchakshara Mantra, and ultimately entered the fire himself. This act of remorse and devotion led him to be united with Lord Shiva in the divine realm.

कुलाचल-युद्धम् #२८२

Event occured on 1741-08-10 (gregorian).

On this day, not far from kanyAkumArI, Battle of Colachel (or The Battle of Kulachal) was fought, where the forces of padmanAbhapura’s king mArtANDa varma defeated Duch East India Company forces led by Admiral Eustachius De Lannoy. The battle had lasted for months. Some records date the surrender to 7th August.

Aftermath

The Dutch never recovered from the defeat and no longer posed a large colonial threat to India. In 1753, the Dutch signed the Treaty of Mavelikkara with the Dutch agreeing not to obstruct the Raja’s expansion, and in turn, to sell to him arms and ammunition. Indian government has built a pillar of victory in Kulachal to commemorate the event.

The Dutch continued fighting for a bit from Kanyakumari, Paravur and AyirUr. They gave up on kanyAkumArI in October.

Soon after the surrender, Marthanda Varma imprisoned high level European officers and native Christian collaborators. The Travancore forces captured a large number of muskets and some cannons. Later, Marthanda Varma gave them their weapons back, and asked them to join the Travancore army. Some, including Admiral De Lannoy and Duyvenschot accepted.

D’lennoy served for two decades, rising to the post of the Valiya kappithan (Senior Captain) and was buried at udayagiri fort (aka Dillanai koTai/ D’lennoy fort). De Lannoy was initially entrusted with the training of a few companies of the Maharajah’s bodyguards and he did this with such an excellence that he was entrusted with modernizing the entire Travancore army - introducing better firearms, artilary and drills. He was one of the commanders of the Tranvancore army during the decisive battle of Ambalapuzha where his erstwhile employers were fighting on behalf of Cochin and her allies. He also built the Nedumkottai, a line of fortifications in the north of the kingdom, which stopped the French trained army of Tipu Sultan in 1789. This more effective army annexed Kollam (Quilon), Kayamkulam, Kottarakkara, Pandalam, Ambalapuzha, Edappalli, Thekkumkoor and Vadakkumkoor to lord padmanAbha’s kingdom.

Context

In 1730s, mArtANDa varma started annexing and consolidating keraLa kingdoms. He refused to honor Duch monopoly agreements with the conquered kingdoms. In January 1739, Gustaaf Willem van Imhoff, the Dutch Governor of Ceylon, visited Kochi, and in a July report, he recommended military action. Later that year, the Dutch organised an alliance of the rulers of Kochi, Thekkumkur, Vadakkumkur, Purakkad, Kollam, and Kayamkulam. Van Imhoff personally met Marthanda Varma to negotiate peace under Dutch terms. The Sun lord refused and replied that he had been thinking about invading Europe some day!!

In late 1739, the Dutch command at Malabar declared war on Travancore, without obtaining permission or waiting for reinforcements from Batavia. Captain Johannes Hackert came from Lanka with some troops. Dutch + allies scored several victories and forced the Travancore army stationed near Kollam to retreat. British East India Company chief at Anchuthengu congratulated the Dutch. By early December, the Dutch and their allies marched towards Attingal and Varkala. When the Travancore army withdrew to check an invasion by French ally Chanda Sahib of Arcot in the south, the allies achieved further military successes.

In November 1740, the Dutch command in Malabar asked for more inforcements from Lanka, and launched a second campaign. By padmanAbha’s grace, mArtANDa’s army captured several dutch outposts. A small dutch force landed at kulachchal/ colachel and started fortifying. On 26 November, the Dutch sent two large ships and three sloops to Colachel, bombarding the coast. On 29 November, the Dutch commander van Gollenesse announced a complete blockade of the Travancore coast around Colachel (except English ships). On 13 January 1741, the Dutch ship Maarseveen was sent southwards, to be anchored between Thengapattanam and Colachel. On 10 February, another Dutch expedition comprising seven large ships and several smaller vessels landed just north of Colachel. Dutch forces started capturing the nearby villages, and marched towards Eraniel. To effectively control the newly-conquered territories, the Dutch were expecting reinforcements to arrive from Ceylon and Batavia, but the Company Government at Batavia could not spare any reserve forces because of the Java War.

mArtANDa raised a 2k strong nAyar force and rushed south, as did his general Ramayyan Dalawa from north. A number of boats with local mukkuvAr seamen as rowers were set up - they cut off supplies from the sea. On 27 May, mArtANDa worshipped at the Adikesava Perumal Temple at Thiruvattar, consecrated his sword there. The Travancore army did not have any siege equipment, and therefore, Marthanda Varma intended to simply starve the Dutch garrison out. The Dutch troops at Colachel numbered around 400 (of which only around 150 were European), while the Travancore army had 12,000-15,000 soldiers. The heavy rains made it hard for them to keep their gunpowder dry, and made their weapons unusable. Travancore army, armed by the British then stationed in Anchuthengu (near Attingal), bombarded the makeshift tent near the shore where the Dutch had gathered all their ammunition. That one big explosion ended the war on 10 August.

नोयाखाली-हत्या #७७

Event occured on 1946-08-10 (gregorian).

The massacre of the Hindu population in Noakhali started on 10 October, on the day of Kojagari Lakshmi Puja. It is estimated that 5,000 were killed, hundreds of Hindu women were raped and thousands of Hindu men and women were forcibly converted to Islam. Around 50,000 to 75,000 survivors were sheltered in temporary relief camps in Comilla, Chandpur, Agartala and other places. Around 50,000 Hindus remained marooned in the affected areas under the strict surveillance of the Muslims, where the administration had no say. According to Dinesh Chandra, Hindus were forced to pay subscriptions to the Muslim League and jiziyah.

राक्षसभुवन-युद्धम् #२६०

Event occured on 1763-08-10 (gregorian).

On this day, mAdhavarAv decimated the nizam’s army on godAvarI banks.

Aftermath: Madhavrao proved his military acumen & courage through timely troop movements before, & during the battle. In stark contrast, Raghunathrao was seen as indecisive, & Madhavrao was made Peshwa again! Nana Fadnavis was restored to office, with his brother Moropant Phadnis too. Peshwa Madhavrao met Mahadji Shinde to confirm services.

Context: While the peshvA was in a southern campaign, the Nizam (allied with Janoji Bhosale of nAgpur and Chatrapati rAmarAja of kolhApur) decided to attack, as planned by his divAn viTThala-sundara. For a change, raghunAtharAv joined mAdhavarAv. With a carrot and stick policy, jAnojI secretly returned to the peshva camp. Marathas started deserting the Nizam. mAdhavarAv had sped north and decimated the nizAm’s army on godAvarI banks.

बासु-खुदीराम-हत्या #११५

Event occured on 1908-08-11 (gregorian).

On this day at 6 AM, 18.5 year old freedom fighter khudIrAm bose, walked firmly and cheerfully to the gallows.

Aftermath

After the hanging, the funeral procession went through the city, with police guards holding back the crowd all along the central artery street. The people kept throwing their flowers on the body as the carriage passed by.

The actions of khudIrAm and Prafulla were defended by many nationalists (including BG Tilak, who was promptly arrested on sedition charges).

After martyrdom, Khudiram became so popular that weavers of Bengal started weaving a special type of dhoti, with ‘Khudiram’ written on its side. Boys studying in school colleges wore these dhotis and stitched and walked on the path of independence.

Context

khudIrAm and Prafulla Chaki had tried to assassinate the notorious British judge Douglas Kingsford - but their bomb ended up killing two British women instead.

He had been arrested by constables Fateh Singh, and Shiv prasAd Singh near the Waini railway station (now named after him). On 1 May, he was brought to Muzaffarpur by train - a crowd awaited to see him - he cheerfully cried ‘vandE mAtaram’. Narendrakumar Basu had came to Khudiram’s defence and mounted a very strong case in his defence (redirecting the main blame to the older prafulla and invalidating khudIrAm’s initial statement), but failed.

When he was sentenced to death, his spontaneous reaction was to smile. The judge, surprised, asked Khudiram whether he had understood the meaning of the pronounced sentence. Khudiram replied that he surely had. When the judge asked him again whether he had anything to say, in front of a packed audience, Khudiram replied with the same smile that if he could be given some time, he could teach the judge the skill of bomb-making. Khudiram refused to appeal - but was persuaded to go along by the defence team.

Influences and early activities

In 1902 and 1903, Sri Aurobindo and Sister Nivedita visited Midnapore. They held a series of public lectures and private session with the existing revolutionary groups for freedom. Khudiram, a teenager, was an active participant in the discussions about the revolution. He joined Anushilan Samiti, and came into contact with the network of Barindra Kumar Ghosh of Calcutta. He became a volunteer at the age of 15, and was arrested for distributing pamphlets against the British rule in India.

कूऱ्ऱुव नायऩ्मार् (३९) गुरुपूजै

Observed on Ārdrā nakshatra of Karkaṭaḥ (sidereal solar) month (Prātaḥ/paraviddha).

Between the 6th and 9th centuries, in South India, there existed 63 ardent devotees of Lord Shiva, collectively known as the Nayanmars. These devout individuals, hailing from various walks of life including potters, fishermen, farmers, merchants, priests, hunters, and washermen, created devotional songs still sung by followers around the globe. Among these Nayanmars, Appar, Sambandar, and Sundarar, known for their Thevaram hymns, along with Manikkavasagar, are distinguished as the Samayacharyas or the ‘The Four’ (ta:nālvar) revered teachers of the faith. They were instrumental in promoting the Shaiva Siddhanta philosophy and culture, effectively challenging the spread of Jainism and Buddhism. Their teachings centered around the concept that Shiva embodies love, and that embracing love for all beings and existence is essential in connecting with Shiva, the Supreme Being.

This Nayanmar, a chieftain from Kalandai, was a fervent devotee of Lord Shiva. His daily spiritual practices included the repetition of the Panchakshara Mantra and the service of Shiva Bhaktas. Recognizing his devotion, Lord Shiva blessed him with increased power, wealth, and strength. The Nayanmar’s influence grew to such an extent that he conquered many regions within the Chola and Pandyan kingdoms. He expressed a desire to be crowned king by the three thousand Brahmins of Tillai, but they declined, owing their allegiance to the Chola king. This led to the Brahmins leaving Tillai to avoid the Nayanmar’s anger, leaving only one to perform Puja in the temple. Even this lone Brahmin refused to crown him. In response to his prayers, Lord Shiva personally appeared and crowned the Nayanmar, placing His divine Feet upon his head, symbolizing a spiritual coronation. The Nayanmar continued his devout worship of Lord Shiva and ultimately achieved union with Him, demonstrating that his request for coronation was not for political power, but for spiritual affirmation and blessings from the Lord.

खाण्डेरावेण हैदरमोचनम् #२६३

Event occured on 1760-08-12 (gregorian).

On 12th August 1760, Khande Rao attacked Haidar at Srirangapatna but later let Haidar flee out of sentiment, with the promise that he would retire away from maisUru.

Date via Sinha referring to Selections from the Peshwa daftar vol 28.

Events

“Haidar in his messages (to Khande Rao) recognised the services of Kunde Row in all the success that had attended in his life; represented that without his counsel, he was helpless; and was now ready to be guided by his commands and deprecated in terms of the utmost humility his proceeding to extremities.

That Kunde Row, in reply, acknowledged in his turn the benefits which he had received from Haidar; and disclaimed the intention of personal indignity; but stated that he was a servant of the Raja whose orders he should obey; that all he required from Haidar was to retire for ever from the service of Mysore, and on receiving his promise to that effect, he would withdraw the guards from the opposite side and advised him to escape that night; as on the morrow he would be compelled to act decisively against him”.

(Mark Wilks, vol 1, page 468) (Appendix VI).

Wilks further observes

" I should hesitate to ascribe to Kunde Row the remnant of virtuous feeling which could dictate a conduct so politically imprudent if it were possible in any other manner to explain the known act, that Haidar found the ordinary landing place of the northern bank without a guard of any description”.

Next morning, Khande Rao captured the family members of Haidar including the young Tippu but treated them with respect.

Context
  • Khande Rao came in contact with Haidar Ali in August 1756 when the king entrusted him with 50k gold pieces to be given to Sahbas Sahib (brother of Haidar) and Haidar to enable them to raise an army to defeat the Dalawai brothers who had virtually imprisoned him (the king) in his own palace.
  • Haidar rose to power under Khande Rao with the countenence of Karachuri Nanjarajaiah. In 1758, Khande Rao was made “Dewan” on the recommendation of Haidar and the Dalawais (including Karachuri Nanjarajaiah) were side-lined.
  • By 1759, it was clear that Haidar was getting more and more revenue districts assigned to himself and Khande Rao had seen through Haidar’s intention to fleece the king.
  • The Wodeyar King sought the assistance of the Mahratta army and Khande Rao wrote several letters to George Pigout, Governor General at Madras for help.
Aftermath
  • Haidar escaped but did not keep his word. He went to Anekal and BengaLUru to regroup. Maratha troops attacked Haidar’s forces on behalf of Khande Rao but Haidar managed to evade them.
  • Hyder moved towards shrIrangapaTTana but were defeated by Khande Rao’s forces (16th December 1760).
  • Sadly, shortly thereafter marATha forces were recalled after the defeat at pANIpat.
  • Haidar rushed to the feet of the dalvai Karachuri Nanjarajaiah - the latter was swayed and basically let Haidar act on his behalf - sowing utter confusion in the maisUru king’s troops. This ultimately led to the capture of khANDe rAv on 20th June 1761. khANDe rAv was put in an iron cage in bengaLUru, where he died next year.

सोमेश्वर-मन्दिर-नाशः #३४३

Event occured on 1680-08-12 (gregorian). Julian date was converted to Gregorian in this reckoning.

On August 2, 1680, the Temple of Someshwar in western Mewar was ordered to be destroyed by Aurangzeb and co.

Context

After the death of Maharaja Jaswant Singh of Jodhpur in the Kabul Subah, he tried to eliminate the Rathors of Marwar as a political power in Rajputana. But Maharana Raj Singh of Mewar, in line with the great traditions of his House, came out in open support of the Rathors.. This led to war with both Mewar and Marwar during which the temples built on the bank of Rana’s lake were destroyed by his orders.

Raj Singh opposed Aurangzeb multiple times, once to save the Kishangarh princess Charumati from the Mughals and once by denouncing the Jizya tax levied by Aurangzeb. Chatrapati Shivaji Maharaj had once taunted Aurangzeb by telling him to ask the Rana of Mewar who is the head of the Hindus for Jizya if he had the guts instead of terrorising unarmed citizens.

स्कर्दु-द्रोहः #७५

Event occured on 1948-08-14 (gregorian).

On this day, Skardu was lost to betrayal by muslim-dominated Gilgit Scouts.

Context

With the betrayal at Gilgit, the command of 6 J&K Infantry now devolved on Major Sher Jung Thapa. Skardu was east of Gilgit and an important town. 6 J&K infantry, was spread out thinly in penny packets from Leh to Bunji. Capt Ganga Singh commanded two platoons at Kargil, which entirely comprised of Sikhs. Skardu itself was held by two platoons under Capt Nek Alam with entirely Muslim soldiers.

Thapa was at Leh when Gilgit fell and he was ordered to March to Skardu with whatever troops available. He arrived there on 3rd December and immediately noticed the hostile environment. He sought permission to withdraw the garrison and the civil administration to Kargil and also requested reinforcements. The request for withdrawal was turned down and he was asked “to hold to last man and last round”. Gilgit Scouts and raiders were moving towards Skardu. By mid-February, Skardu received some small reinforcements from Srinagar.

Thapa had 130 non-Muslim and 31 Muslim troops in Skardu now. He had deployed Nek Alam and his Muslim platoon 32 km towards west, on the road from Gilgit, which followed the river. Another platoon of Sikhs was positioned on the other bank of the river. This was at a place called Tsari. By the start of February, tribesmen and the traitors from 6 J&K Infantry had completed all the plans to capture Skardu.

On the 9th of February, the enemies attacked. Nek Alam and his soldiers immediately changed sides. Krishna Singh and his small platoon were routed and the survivors murdered in cold blood.

They then moved towards Skardu, while Thapa was unaware of the disaster and treachery at Tsari. The first attack by raiders on 11th February was beaten back while some Muslims of Thapa’s garrison deserted. Skardu also received some more reinforcements and now had 285 soldiers. Thapa also provided shelter to all the non-Muslims of the town, which numbered around 229. Indian Army, assembled 3 successive Skardu relief columns, but they were not successful in reaching Skardu. Air-dropping of ammunition was also not effective.

Skardu was besieged by well-armed raiders and Muslim troops, while Thapa defended it gallantly till August 14. They had fought without adequate ammunition, food, or even water. Finally, Skardu capitulated, outnumbered five to one, and with the last box of the reserve ammunition used.

Aftermath

All the surviving non-Muslims were murdered, but their women abducted, raped, and sold into brothels. Major Thapa and his orderly were the only ones kept alive. He was returned to Bharat some days after the war and was awarded Mahavir Chakra.

अलबोय-युद्धम् #३५४

Event occured on 1669-08-15 (gregorian). Julian date was converted to Gregorian in this reckoning.

Mogol forces under rAma siMha (son of jayasiMha) of Amber defeat Ahom forces under Lachit Borphukan in a forced challenge. 10k Ahom soldiers were killed. This would be reversed a few years later in the Battle of Saraighat, two years later, in 1671 CE.

Background: A few years after shivAjI’s escape, rAmasiMha was sent by Awrangzeb to capture assam. His efforts at psychological warfare and dissent bore fruit when King Chakradhwaja Singha gave Lachit Borphukan and his commanders an ultimatum to attack mogols the very next day. Lachit was bewildered - charging the superior Rajput cavalry would be suicidal and that a naval engagement with the Mughals would be more feasible.

Lachit Borphukan had accepted rAmasiMha’s challenge and prepared a force of 40,000 men under four commanders. However, he led Ram Singh to believe that the Ahom army was only 20,000-strong. So the Rajput king sent only 10,000 soldiers under the command of Mir Nawab and madanavatI. Madanavati’s carnage on horseback only ended after she was shot dead by a stray bullet. Lachit’s hidden reserves then turned the tide. rAmasiMha became angry and then sent in the entire Rajput cavalry along with Mughal veterans who had been standing by.

सर्व-अधिक-श्रावण (कर्कट) अमावास्या (अलभ्यम्–पुष्यः, पुष्कला)

amāvāsyā of adhika śravaṇa month, which also falls in the sidereal solar month of kaṭaka.

Details

It is said in Vishnupuranam that when Amavasya overlaps with one of nine nakshatras—Anuradha, Vishakha, Swati, Pushya, Ardra, Punarvasu, Shravishtha, Purvaproshthapada, or Shatabhishak—it is sacred even for Devas. For instance, Shraaddha done on an Amavasya joined with Anuradha, Vishakha, Swati keeps the pitrs satisfied for eight years. Likewise, on Pushya, Ardra and Punarvasu, the pitrs satisfied for twelve years.

विष्णुपुराणे—
अमावास्या यदा मैत्रविशाखास्वातियोगिनी।
श्राद्धे पितृगणस्तृप्तिमवाप्नोत्यष्टवार्षिकीम्॥
अमावास्या यदा पुष्ये रौद्रेऽथः पुनर्वसौ।

Details

It is said in the Smrtis, that if Amavasya falls on a Monday, Tuesday or Thursday, such a tithi is given the appellation puṣkalā and is as sacred as a solar eclipse.

direct-action-day-हत्याः #७७

Event occured on 1946-08-16 (gregorian).

Direct Action Day, a Ramzaan Friday, was a day of nationwide protest by the Indian Muslim community announced by Jinnah. The day also marked the start of what is known as The Week of the Long Knives aka 1946 Calcutta Killings. More than 4k people lost their lives, 11k were seriously injured and 100k residents were left homeless in Calcutta within 72 hours.

Context

The Muslim League were demanding a separate independent states since their 1940 Lahore resolution. In 1946, they’d agreed to a three-tier structure: a centre, groups of provinces, and provinces. In July 1946, it withdrew its agreement to the plan and announced a general strike (hartal) on 16 August.

By 1940, Muslim League “volunteer corps” / private army had 4154 members according to a British report. Since the 11–14 February 1946 riots in Calcutta, communal tension had been high. Following Jinnah’s declaration the Muslim League government announced a general holiday - despite Congress protests. On 14 August, Kiron Shankar Roy called on Hindu shopkeepers to keep their businesses open. Muslim newspapers (eg Star of India) published the programme for the day detailing procession routes. Muslim League branches were advised to depute three workers in every mosque in every ward to explain the League’s action plan before Juma prayers - with clear comparisons to Prophet Muhammad’s conquest of Mecca and establishment of the kingdom of Heaven in Arabia.

On the day, Muslim crowds (30-50k by 4PM) gathered at a maidAn. During Suhrawardy’s speech, he said that the military and police were restrained (though police did not receive any such order). Prominent Muslim League leaders (including Suhrawardy) later spent a great deal of time in police control rooms directing operations and obstructing police duties - but the British Governor did not stop them.

Attacks on Hindus started right after the meeting, and by 5:30PM, men could be seen carrying loot. Trucks came in carrying Muslim gangsters with brickbats and bottles. A 6 pm curfew was imposed in the parts of the city. Besides significant participation from butchers, dock-workers, masons and mill-workers, mob frenzy was directed by criminals such as ‘Bombaiya’ of New Market and Munna Choudhuri in the Harrison Road. Ambulences were mobilized and petrol couplons issued in the names of minsters were used.

Noted Hindu toughmen, Gopal Patha (a goat butcher) and Jugal Chandra Ghosh (who ran an akhAra) soon raised teams of vigilantes, plus reward money and carried out defence and retaliatory attacks (Beliaghata area and the Miabagan basti).

Worst of the killings happened on 17th August. Especially, Syed Abdullah Farooqui - workers union leader and Elian Mistry led a huge armed mob to Kesoram Cotton Mills and slaughtered workers. By late afternoon, soldiers were called in. On 21 August, Bengal was put under Viceroy’s rule.

direct-action-day-प्रतिकारः #७७

Event occured on 1946-08-17 (gregorian).

On this day, after Direct action day killing of Hindus began, Gopal Chandra Mukhopadhyay aka Gopal Patha (a mutton shop keeper) began retaliating against Islamists.

Gopal Patha had already founded the Bharat Jatiya Bahini, an organisation of young men to help fellow citizens during a natural calamity. On the 17th, Gopal Patha turned from a philanthropist to a warrior, ready to defend his people. Throughout the night, Gopal Patha, along with his young men from the Bharat Jayati Bahini worked on a plan on how they could defend Hindus from the Muslim barbarians.
The marwaris offered finances, others spent the night making weapons for them. Muslim League chief minister of Bengal, Huseyn Shaheed Suhrawardy and the Muslim League goons had decided on the 17th that they were going to take two more days to complete the annihilation of Hindus.
But they had not taken into consideration their greatest roadblock – Gopal Patha. From the 18th to 20th, Gopal Patha and his men put up a brave fight, paying the Muslim League goons back in equal measure, if not more.
Historian Sandip Bandopadhyay wrote, “They faced resistance everywhere. Hindu youths counter-attacked with such ferocity that the Muslim League men had to flee. Many were killed. Emboldened by their success in taking on and defeating their Islamist attackers, Hindu youths took the fight to Muslim-majority areas and started killing Islamist men. They did not, however, touch Muslim women and children or the aged and the infirm”.
By the 19th of August, suddenly, the Muslims started feeling unsafe. Only two days of retribution, of self-defence, and the Muslim League started running with tail between their legs.
It was only on the 21st of August when the Muslims had started feeling unsafe because the Hindus dared to defend themselves, did Viceroy’s rule come into action in Bengal.

तिवारि-कमलेशो हतः #४

Event occured on 2019-08-19 (gregorian).

Farid-ud-din Shaikh and Ashfak Shaikh came dressed in saffron kurtas to give Kamalesh Tiwari a sweets box (hiding a knife and pistol there), slit his throat and shot him. According to the police, the pistol and sweets used in the murder were bought in Surat and the murder was planned in Dubai. Several conspirators were arrested.

Context: In Dec 2015, Arun Jaitley supported decriminalization of homosexuality. Azam Khan (a criminal politician who would be jailed and illegal property seized a few years later) called RSS members homosexuals. Tiwari retaliated saying that Muhammad was the first homosexual. Tiwari was arrested and jailed for a few months, even as lakhs of muslims went into frenzy.

When Hasta nakshatra falls on a Sunday, it is a special yōgaḥ. When Rohini nakshatra falls on a Saturday, it is a special yōgaḥ. In the cyclic rotation of time, along with the bad combinations of grahas and nakshatras that indicate the probability of upcoming difficulties, good combinations that grant benefits in multiples also arise. Among such good combinations are the Amrita Siddhi yogas of certain weekdays and nakshatras. They are Sunday-Hasta, Monday-Mrigashirsha, Tuesday-Ashvini, Wednesday-Anuradha, Thursday-Pushya, Friday-Revati, Saturday-Rohini. Good deeds performed on such yogas become especially strong in protecting and nourishing us. For instance, in Devi Atharvashirsha, it is said bhaumāśvinyāṁ mahādevī-sannidhau japtvā mahāmr̥tyuṁ tarati, that is, one can cross even mahāmr̥tyu by doing parayanam when Tuesday and Ashvini join.

लक्ष्मणानन्द-सरस्वती-बलिदानम् #१५

Event occured on 2008-08-23 (gregorian).

Swami Lakshmanananda Saraswati and four of his disciples were murdered on 23 August 2008 ( Janmashtami Day) in his kanyA ashram, where he was rescuing and helping tribals who had been converted to Christianity. (A group of thirty to forty armed men surrounded the Ashram. Four of the assailants carried AK-47s and many others had locally made revolvers. Two of the four government provided security guards had gone home to eat, the assailants tied and gagged the two remaining guards.)

Hundreds of people gathered on the route to pay their last respects to Saraswati. Riots erupted when the procession passed through Christian localities. Nativist Kui tribals rose up and fought Maoist and Christian forces. Seven Christian tribals and one Maoist leader were convicted in the case.

Saraswati received an anonymous threat only a week before his assassination. Ashram authorities also filed a First Information Report (or FIR) with the local police. However, no steps were taken to provide appropriate security cover to him, despite ample evidence that there were very real threats being made on his life and the lives of those he served.

शिवराजेन दसग्रहणरोधः #३४६

Event occured on 1677-08-24 (gregorian).

Shivaji notified the Dutch to stop slave trade:

In the days of the Moorish [Muslim] government it was allowed for you to buy male slaves and female slaves here [the Karnatak], and to transport the same, without anyone preventing that. But now you may not, as long as I am master of these lands, buy male or female slaves, nor transport them. And in case you were to do the same, and would want to bring [slaves] aboard, my men will oppose that and prevent it in all ways, and also not allow that they may be brought back in your house; this you must observe and comply with.

Dutch original:

Voor desen heeft dit land onder ’t moors gebied geweest en doen stond het u edele vrij slaven en slavinnen te kopen, en verkopen dog dat sal nu niet mogen wesen, want mijn volk heeft last ’t selve te beletten, indien u edele het egter wilde doen, die ook niet toelaten sullen, dat u edele deselve in in sijn huijs of schip brengt, maar sullen se u edele ontnemen en op vrije voeten stellen.

Context

shivAjI had embarked on a remarkable “digvijaya” campaign towards the south. Representatives from many domestic and foregin powers visited, paid tribute and sought continuation of trading privileges.

कुलच्चिऱै नायऩ्मार् (२२) गुरुपूजै

Observed on Anūrādhā nakshatra of Siṁhaḥ (sidereal solar) month (Prātaḥ/paraviddha).

Between the 6th and 9th centuries, in South India, there existed 63 ardent devotees of Lord Shiva, collectively known as the Nayanmars. These devout individuals, hailing from various walks of life including potters, fishermen, farmers, merchants, priests, hunters, and washermen, created devotional songs still sung by followers around the globe. Among these Nayanmars, Appar, Sambandar, and Sundarar, known for their Thevaram hymns, along with Manikkavasagar, are distinguished as the Samayacharyas or the ‘The Four’ (ta:nālvar) revered teachers of the faith. They were instrumental in promoting the Shaiva Siddhanta philosophy and culture, effectively challenging the spread of Jainism and Buddhism. Their teachings centered around the concept that Shiva embodies love, and that embracing love for all beings and existence is essential in connecting with Shiva, the Supreme Being.

Kulacchirai Nayanmar, the 22nd of the Nayanmars, was a great devotee of Lord Shiva and His followers. He lived in Manamerkudi, a town in the Pandyan kingdom known for its many Shiva devotees. Kulacchirai Nayanmar was the leader of the town and was very wealthy, but he considered himself a servant of the Shiva Bhaktas. He even saw them as equals to Lord Shiva Himself.

Kulacchirai Nayanmar was also a skilled soldier and administrator, but his mind was always focused on the Lord. He played a key role in helping the queen of the Pandyan kingdom defeat the influence of Jainism. He invited the famous Nayanmar Sambandar to Madurai to help in this effort.

The Jains tried to stop Sambandar by setting fire to his camp, but he extinguished the fire with a song. They also tried to cure the Pandyan king’s high fever, but only Sambandar’s sacred ash was able to heal him. Finally, Sambandar defeated the Jains in a debate, and Kulacchirai Nayanmar had sent them to the gallows, as per the terms of the debate.

After serving the Shiva Bhaktas for many years, Kulacchirai Nayanmar eventually attained liberation and reached Shiva’s abode.

कुङ्गिलियक्कलय नायऩ्मार् (११) गुरुपूजै

Observed on Mūlā nakshatra of Siṁhaḥ (sidereal solar) month (Prātaḥ/paraviddha).

Between the 6th and 9th centuries, in South India, there existed 63 ardent devotees of Lord Shiva, collectively known as the Nayanmars. These devout individuals, hailing from various walks of life including potters, fishermen, farmers, merchants, priests, hunters, and washermen, created devotional songs still sung by followers around the globe. Among these Nayanmars, Appar, Sambandar, and Sundarar, known for their Thevaram hymns, along with Manikkavasagar, are distinguished as the Samayacharyas or the ‘The Four’ (ta:nālvar) revered teachers of the faith. They were instrumental in promoting the Shaiva Siddhanta philosophy and culture, effectively challenging the spread of Jainism and Buddhism. Their teachings centered around the concept that Shiva embodies love, and that embracing love for all beings and existence is essential in connecting with Shiva, the Supreme Being.

Kungiliya Kalaya Nayanmar, a Brahmana from Tirukadavur in the Chola kingdom, was renowned for his devotion to Lord Shiva, symbolised by his constant burning of incense before the deity. The temple in Tirukadavur housed the Amrita Lingam, which originated from a pot of nectar transformed into a Lingam. The temple’s deity, Amrita Ghateshwarar, was worshipped by Markandeya, leading to his immortality. The goddess of the temple, Abhirami Amman, was venerated by Abhirami Bhattar, whose devotion led to a miraculous transformation of the moon’s phase.

Despite experiencing sudden poverty, Nayanmar continued his devotion, even selling his property to maintain his ritual of burning incense. One day, his wife, willing to support his devotion, offered her sacred Mangalyam to sell for food. However, when Nayanmar went to sell it, he was so captivated by the offer of high-quality incense from a hawker (Lord Shiva in disguise) that he exchanged the Mangalyam for it, forgetting his family’s hunger.

Lord Shiva, impressed with the couple’s devotion, blessed them with wealth. Nayanmar’s wife prepared a meal and awaited his return. When Nayanmar went to the temple with the incense, Lord Shiva appeared to him, acknowledging his devotion and instructing him to return home. Astonished, Nayanmar found his house transformed into a place of prosperity and shared his newfound wealth with other Shiva Bhaktas.

Nayanmar’s devotion was further exemplified in Tiruppanandal, where he straightened the leaning Lingam of Arunasatesar, which had tilted to accept a garland from a devotee. Using a rope of divine love, Nayanmar miraculously righted the Lingam, a feat that astonished and earned him further reverence.

After spending more time serving Lord Shiva and His devotees, Nayanmar eventually attained the divine abode, leaving a legacy of unwavering devotion and service to the Lord.

आग्र-बन्धनात् पलायितः शिवराजः #३५७

Event occured on 1666-08-27 (gregorian). Julian date was converted to Gregorian in this reckoning.

shrAvaNa k12. A few days earlier on 13th, rAmasiMha had refused to receive shivAjI, who had been ordered to be moved to rAjA viTThaldAs’s mansion.

Shivaji pulled off one of the greatest escapes in history from the jaws of death at Agra. In a story corroborated by multiple contemporary sources, shivAjI feigned illness after being put under house arrest. He started sending alms and food to holy men; and gifts to noblemen. In the initial days, guards search these outgoing baskets - later they became lax. One day Hiroji Farzand wore his master’s clothes and slept in bed, with only a hand with shivAjI’s wristlet being uncovered; a boy massaging his feet. shivAjI and his son escaped in the baskets. The following day, guards were fooled by seeing Hiroji. After a while hIrojI to switched to his own clothes and went away. Mogols discovered the escape the next day.

rAmasiMha (whom many tried to implicate along with jayasiMha) was in a soup - and dismissed from service. 4 brAhmaNas who were part of rAmasiMha’s inner guard circle were arrested and tortured till they made a false confession. Treasure left behind by shivAjI was confiscated as “harAm ka mAl” and sold off.

Later events:

12th September 1666: Shivaji arrives at Rajgad. There are rumours (likely circulated by shivAjI) that his son died on the way. (Rajasthani letter dated 19th November 1666, newsletter of the Mughal Court dated 4th November 1666). In fact, Shivaji had left his son behind at Mathura, supposedly with his ministers' brAhmaNa relatives. (Sabhasad and A.Q. Chronicles, Tarikh-i Dilkusha, etc.)

20th November 1666: Sambhaji arrives at Rajgad (Jedhe Chronology corrected.)

त्रिपुष्कर-योगः
  • 05:13→06:01

When a tripādanakṣatra is conjoined with a bhadrā tithi i.e. dvitīyā, saptamī or dvādaśī, and this falls on a Tuesday, Sunday or Saturday, it is known as a tripuṣkara-yōgaḥ. When only two of these coincide, it is known as dvipuṣkara. These are specially auspicious times, and are excluded for aparakarmas such as ūnamāsikaśrāddham.

नारायणरावो हतः #२५०

Event occured on 1773-08-30 (gregorian).

In an event that shook the marATha empire, the peshva nArayaNa rAv, brother of the great mAdhavarAv and vishvAs-rAv, was killed on the last day of gaNapati festival (Ananta Chaturdashi) in puNe.

Context

raghunAth rAv, though having military talent, was a power-hungry unscrupulous person with traitorous tendencies. He had earlier tried to usurp the throne from mAdhav rAv, only to be outmaneouvered and subdued with great difficulty by that noble peshva. With his death, raghoba was back at his old game.

Events

According to popular legend, Raghunathrao had sent a message to Sumer Singh Gardi to fetch Narayanrao using the Marathi word dharaa (धरा) or ‘hold’ (actual phrase in Marathi - " नारायणरावांना धरा”/“Narayanrao-ana dhara”). This message was intercepted by his wife Anandibai who changed a single letter to make it read as maaraa (मारा) or ‘kill’ . The miscommunication led the Gardis to chase Narayanrao, who, upon hearing them coming, started running towards his uncles' residence screaming, “Kaka! Mala Vachva!!” (“Uncle! Save me!"). The Gardis followed Narayanrao to his uncle’s chamber and the menial Tulaji Pawar pulled him while Sumer Singh Gardi cut him down. At the scene, a total of 11 persons were killed. Historian Sardesai writes that these 11 victims included seven brahmins (including Narayanrao), two Maratha servants and two maids.

Aftermath

The Chief Justice, Ram Shastri Prabhune was asked to conduct an investigation into the incident, and Raghunathrao, Anandibai and Sumer Singh Gardi were all prosecuted in absentia. Although Raghunathrao was acquitted, Anandibai was declared an offender and Sumer Singh Gardi the culprit. Sumer Singh Gardi died mysteriously in Patna, Bihar in 1775, and Anandibai performed Hindu rituals to absolve her sins. Kharag Singh and Tulaji Pawar were handed over by Hyder Ali back to the government and they were tortured to death.

As the result of the murder, senior ministers and generals of the Maratha confederacy formed a regency council , known as the “Baarbhai Council”, to conduct of the affairs of the state in the name of his soon to be born son, mAdhavarAv 2.

घाशीरामो हतः #२३२

Event occured on 1791-08-31 (gregorian).

On this day, the kotwal of puNe, ghAshIrAm Savaldas, a kAnyakubja brAhmaNa, was stoned to death by other brAhmaNa-s in vengence for the death of 21 tailanga brAhmaNas because of being locked up in a suffocating tunnel for an entire day and night.

Context

Many brAhmaNas were in town for daxiNA. A curfew was in place, which some violated and allegedly indulged in rioting and unruly behavior. 35 were locked up. The prisoners remained in the cell for an entire day and a night and on the third morning, (an eminent chief named) Manaji Phakde (a cousin of Mahadji Sindia) was passing that way, when he heard noises. He then informed nAna of the tragedy.

Peshwa mAdhava rAv, who was just coming of age, summoned Nana and asked how ghAshIrAm should be punished. As news spread, over a thousand Brahmins gathered outside Nana’s house. Nana sent (the chief judge) Ayya Shastri to meet them, but he was assaulted and his clothes torn off. Nana ordered the arrest of the kotwal (who had by now earned a reputation for tyranny). Peshwa ordered him dead. He was taken out of town, let loose and left to the mercy of the Brahmins following the procession.

चिङ्ग्गीज़ो मृतः #७९६

Event occured on 1227-09-01 (gregorian). Julian date was converted to Gregorian in this reckoning.

On this, 12th day of the 7th Mongol lunar month, died the greatest of the military leaders of all times Chingiz Kha’Khan. Born Temujin, he literally rose from rags after his father was killed by Tatars, and was elected Kha’Khan in 1206 after being tied down in Mongolian tribal wars till age 40. He destroyed in a span of 21 years the hegemony of China and Islam, two of the most dangerous powers in human history. He proclaimed the sacred law (yasag) like father Manu. Most importantly, he became the most prolific progenitor of Central Asia. He transcends cultural boundaries and had great impact on the world (including Hindus). He is considered to be of divine nature by Mongols.

Events

At the brink of bringing about the collapse of the Tangut and Chin empires, while hunting an ibex the Khan fell from his horse, got likely got septicemia and died. His final words:

“A jade stone is truly without crust,
polished dagger has no dirt on it,
a man born to life is not deathless,
he must go without home, without a resting placing.

The glory of a deed is in its completion.
Firm and unbending is he who keeps a plighted word faithfully.
Follow not the will of another and good will of many will be yours.

A funerary chant composed by Kiluken read:

O Lion of the great god Tengri, Boddhisatva on Earth, numerous clans of your Mongol nation are wailing for you.

त्रिपुष्कर-योगः
  • 15:46→06:01

When a tripādanakṣatra is conjoined with a bhadrā tithi i.e. dvitīyā, saptamī or dvādaśī, and this falls on a Tuesday, Sunday or Saturday, it is known as a tripuṣkara-yōgaḥ. When only two of these coincide, it is known as dvipuṣkara. These are specially auspicious times, and are excluded for aparakarmas such as ūnamāsikaśrāddham.

वरगूर् उऱियडि उत्सवम्

Varagur, nestled on the banks of the Kudamurutti River (ta:kuḍamuruṭṭi), a tributary of the Kaveri, is a quaint village steeped in spiritual heritage. It is renowned for its connection with the revered Narayana Theertha Swamigal, the composer of Krishna Leela Tharangini, who achieved Deva Mukthi here following the Vishvarupa Darshan of Lord Venkatesha Perumal. This village, initially known as Bhoopathi Rajapuram and located in the Thanjavur district of Tamil Nadu, India, is often referred to as “Heaven on Earth” (Bhoolaka Vaikuntam). With a history spanning over a thousand years, Varagur’s picturesque main street starts from the Kathungalaaru brook and is adorned with significant temples, including the Pillayar temple with its pond, the Maha Kailasanatha Kovil (https://maps.app.goo.gl/mqDK3jqVD5DZfZ5u5), and the prominent Sri Venkatesa Perumal Kovil (https://maps.app.goo.gl/LkiXdeUoB1YUpxCf6).

The village’s principal deity, Sri Venkatesa Perumal, originally installed as Sri Lakshmi Narayana by Paranthaka Chola, known as Veera Narayanan, represents a pinnacle of Chola period architecture. The arrival of Sri Narayana Theertha Swamigal from Andhra Pradesh, who sought blessings from Sri Venkatesa Perumal, marked a significant chapter in the village’s history, leading to its renaming as Varahapuri, and eventually, Varagur. Varagur’s cultural calendar is highlighted by the Uriyadi Utsavam, a grand festival commencing on Gayathri Japam Day, the day after Avani Avittam, and spanning ten days up to the day after Janmashtami.

चॆरुत्तुणै नायऩ्मार् (५४) गुरुपूजै

Observed on Puṣyaḥ nakshatra of Siṁhaḥ (sidereal solar) month (Prātaḥ/paraviddha).

Between the 6th and 9th centuries, in South India, there existed 63 ardent devotees of Lord Shiva, collectively known as the Nayanmars. These devout individuals, hailing from various walks of life including potters, fishermen, farmers, merchants, priests, hunters, and washermen, created devotional songs still sung by followers around the globe. Among these Nayanmars, Appar, Sambandar, and Sundarar, known for their Thevaram hymns, along with Manikkavasagar, are distinguished as the Samayacharyas or the ‘The Four’ (ta:nālvar) revered teachers of the faith. They were instrumental in promoting the Shaiva Siddhanta philosophy and culture, effectively challenging the spread of Jainism and Buddhism. Their teachings centered around the concept that Shiva embodies love, and that embracing love for all beings and existence is essential in connecting with Shiva, the Supreme Being.

Kazharsinga Nayanar, a devout follower of Lord Shiva and a Pallava king from the Kadavar lineage, was instrumental in spreading Shaivism by conquering northern kingdoms. During one of his many pilgrimages, he visited the Tiruvarur temple with his queen. While circumambulating the temple, the queen unintentionally smelt a flower fallen on the ground, designated for Lord Shiva’s worship. Seruthunai Nayanar, a dedicated Vellala devotee serving in the temple, saw this as a disrespectful act towards Lord Shiva and impulsively cut off the queen’s nose as a penalty for her indiscretion.

Alarmed by his queen’s cries, King Kazharsinga rushed to the scene. Upon understanding the situation from Seruthunai Nayanmar, who explained the queen’s disrespectful act, the king, adhering to strict devotional principles, further punished the queen by severing her hand that had touched the flower. This extreme act of devotion from both the king and Seruthunai Nayanar was celebrated by the people, and they were showered with celestial flowers as a mark of divine approval. Both Kazharsinga Nayanar and Seruthunai Nayanar earned the grace of Lord Shiva for their unwavering devotion.

विवेकानन्द-भाषणं चिकागोनगरे #१३०

Event occured on 1893-09-11 (gregorian).

On this day, Vivekananda gave a brief speech representing India and Hinduism. He was initially nervous, bowed to Saraswati (the Hindu goddess of learning) and began his speech with “Sisters and brothers of America!”. At these words, Vivekananda received a two-minute standing ovation from the crowd of seven thousand.

The New York Herald noted, “Vivekananda is undoubtedly the greatest figure in the Parliament of Religions. After hearing him we feel how foolish it is to send missionaries to this learned nation”.

He spoke several more times “at receptions, the scientific section, and private homes”.

(Also the day in 2001 when adherents of another religion brought another message of “peace” to USA 😀 )

अतिपत्त नायऩ्मार् (४२) गुरुपूजै

Observed on Āśrēṣā nakshatra of Siṁhaḥ (sidereal solar) month (Prātaḥ/paraviddha).

Between the 6th and 9th centuries, in South India, there existed 63 ardent devotees of Lord Shiva, collectively known as the Nayanmars. These devout individuals, hailing from various walks of life including potters, fishermen, farmers, merchants, priests, hunters, and washermen, created devotional songs still sung by followers around the globe. Among these Nayanmars, Appar, Sambandar, and Sundarar, known for their Thevaram hymns, along with Manikkavasagar, are distinguished as the Samayacharyas or the ‘The Four’ (ta:nālvar) revered teachers of the faith. They were instrumental in promoting the Shaiva Siddhanta philosophy and culture, effectively challenging the spread of Jainism and Buddhism. Their teachings centered around the concept that Shiva embodies love, and that embracing love for all beings and existence is essential in connecting with Shiva, the Supreme Being.

Atipattar, the 42nd of the Nayanmars was born into a fisherman’s family in Nulaipadi, near Nagapattinam. He devoutly followed a unique ritual: daily, he would release one fish from his catch as an offering to Lord Shiva. His dedication caught the attention of the divine, who sought to showcase his unwavering faith to the world.

For several days in a row, the fisherman found himself catching only a single fish each day. Undeterred by the prospect of going hungry, he faithfully released the lone fish back into the water, dedicating the act to Lord Shiva. On one remarkable day, his catch consisted of just one fish again, but this time it was a golden fish. Despite the extraordinary nature of this find and the temptation it might have presented, he adhered to his vow and released the golden fish as an offering to the Lord.

Moved by his steadfast devotion, Lord Shiva manifested before the humble, uneducated fisherman, bestowing upon him divine blessings for his unyielding devotion and sacrifice.

राधाविनोदपालेन +उषापुत्ररक्षा #७५

Event occured on 1948-09-12 (gregorian).

On this day, Radha Binod Pal, a judge from India at the Tokyo war crime trials, declared the defendants not guilty - dissenting from other judges from around the world. Thus, he earned heartfelt gratitude of Japanese people, expressed in various honors (roads named after him, statues at the shrine and court, the highest civilian honor of the country, ‘Kokko Kunsao’ from the Emperor Hirohito).

With his 1232 page note to the rest of the jurists he convincingly argued that the Allies, (winners of WWII) also violated the principles of restraint and neutrality. In addition to ignoring Japan’s surrender hints, they killed two hundred thousand innocent people using nuclear bombardment. The judges were forced to drop many of the accused from Class-A to B.

२००८ वर्षे देहल्यां विस्फोटाः #१५

Event occured on 2008-09-13 (gregorian).

On this day, 5 synchronised bomb blasts took place within a span of few minutes - around 30 died, and 100 injured. Carried out by Indian Mujahideen, an offshoot of Students Islamic Movement of India. In their arbi hindi email, they said: “This time with the Message of Death, dreadfully terrorising you for your sins. And thus our promise will be fulfilled. Inshallah…Do whatever you want.”

Context

This came after May 13 Jaipur bombings (63 killed), 25 July bengaLUru bombings and 26 July Ahmedabad bombings (56 killed).

Aftermath

Several people (many engineers, scrap dealer, hotlier) were arrested. Abdul Qureshi (Quraysh = Islamic prophet’s tribe) aka Al Arabi, a SIMI activist with IT background was alleged to be closely involved. He was arrested after a gun fight in 2018.

इळैयाऩ्कुडि माऱ नायऩ्मार् (४) गुरुपूजै

Observed on Maghā nakshatra of Siṁhaḥ (sidereal solar) month (Prātaḥ/paraviddha).

Between the 6th and 9th centuries, in South India, there existed 63 ardent devotees of Lord Shiva, collectively known as the Nayanmars. These devout individuals, hailing from various walks of life including potters, fishermen, farmers, merchants, priests, hunters, and washermen, created devotional songs still sung by followers around the globe. Among these Nayanmars, Appar, Sambandar, and Sundarar, known for their Thevaram hymns, along with Manikkavasagar, are distinguished as the Samayacharyas or the ‘The Four’ (ta:nālvar) revered teachers of the faith. They were instrumental in promoting the Shaiva Siddhanta philosophy and culture, effectively challenging the spread of Jainism and Buddhism. Their teachings centered around the concept that Shiva embodies love, and that embracing love for all beings and existence is essential in connecting with Shiva, the Supreme Being.

The 4th of the Nayanmars was Ilayankudi Mara Nayanmar, a farmer named Maranar from the village of Ilayankudi. He was a devout follower of Lord Shiva and His devotees. He practiced Maaheswara Puja, a form of worship involving honouring and serving Lord Shiva’s devotees with utmost reverence, as if serving the Lord Himself. This included welcoming devotees, washing their feet, offering them food, and treating them with great respect and kindness.

Though Nayanmar was blessed with wealth, he believed his riches were meant to serve the Lord’s devotees. His devotion remained steadfast even as his wealth dwindled. Eventually, he sold all his possessions and even himself to continue serving the devotees.

One rainy day, with no food at home, Nayanmar and his wife were visited by a Shiva Bhakta. Despite their own hunger, they welcomed the devotee warmly. Nayanmar’s wife suggested gathering the grain-seeds they had recently sown to prepare a meal. After they fed the devotee and Nayanmar went to check on him, he found the devotee had vanished. Instead, Lord Shiva and Mother Parvathy appeared in the sky, revealing that the devotee was Lord Shiva in disguise. They blessed Nayanmar and his wife for their unwavering devotion and promised them eternal life in the divine abode. This story exemplifies the profound impact of selfless service and devotion to the Supreme and His devotees.

It is important to have darshana of the Moon at start of every lunar month, but it is more special in bhādrapada month, preceding śrīvināyaka-chaturthī. As said in the syamantakōpākhyānam, if one performs chandra-darshana before the chaturthī day, they do not accrue any dōṣa from chandra-darshana on the chaturthi day! Have darshan of Moon today, chanting the latter shloka given.

आदित्यहस्त-योगः
  • →09:59

When Hasta nakshatra falls on a Sunday, it is a special yōgaḥ. When Rohini nakshatra falls on a Saturday, it is a special yōgaḥ. In the cyclic rotation of time, along with the bad combinations of grahas and nakshatras that indicate the probability of upcoming difficulties, good combinations that grant benefits in multiples also arise. Among such good combinations are the Amrita Siddhi yogas of certain weekdays and nakshatras. They are Sunday-Hasta, Monday-Mrigashirsha, Tuesday-Ashvini, Wednesday-Anuradha, Thursday-Pushya, Friday-Revati, Saturday-Rohini. Good deeds performed on such yogas become especially strong in protecting and nourishing us. For instance, in Devi Atharvashirsha, it is said bhaumāśvinyāṁ mahādevī-sannidhau japtvā mahāmr̥tyuṁ tarati, that is, one can cross even mahāmr̥tyu by doing parayanam when Tuesday and Ashvini join.

द्विपुष्कर-योगः
  • 09:59→11:09

When a tripādanakṣatra is conjoined with a bhadrā tithi i.e. dvitīyā, saptamī or dvādaśī, and this falls on a Tuesday, Sunday or Saturday, it is known as a tripuṣkara-yōgaḥ. The dvipuṣkara occurs when the bhadrā tithis coincide with the same days as above, but with the dvipāda nakṣatras, which are mr̥gaśīrṣa, chitrā and dhaniṣṭhā. Like the tripuṣkara which gives a three-fold multiplier for śubha and aśubha, the dvipuṣkara has a two-fold effect.

त्रिपुष्कराख्योऽदितिवह्निविश्वद्वीशाजपादर्यमभेषु योगः।
भद्राख्यतिथ्योऽर्ककुजार्कजाश्चेच्छुभाशुभेषु त्रिगुणः प्रदिष्टः॥२६॥

सुखा-अङ्गारकी-चतुर्थी

chaturthī tithi on a Tuesday is as sacred as a solar eclipse. When it occurs in śuklapakṣa, it is called sukhā. Good day for doing puja of Ganesha/Subrahmanya with naivedyam of modakam/millet flour respectively.

बुधानुराधा-योगः
  • 14:56→

When anūrādhā nakshatra falls on a Wednesday, it is a special yōgaḥ for performing dānam. One can do dānaṁ of dadhyōdanam in Vishnu temples on this day. When Rohini nakshatra falls on a Saturday, it is a special yōgaḥ. In the cyclic rotation of time, along with the bad combinations of grahas and nakshatras that indicate the probability of upcoming difficulties, good combinations that grant benefits in multiples also arise. Among such good combinations are the Amrita Siddhi yogas of certain weekdays and nakshatras. They are Sunday-Hasta, Monday-Mrigashirsha, Tuesday-Ashvini, Wednesday-Anuradha, Thursday-Pushya, Friday-Revati, Saturday-Rohini. Good deeds performed on such yogas become especially strong in protecting and nourishing us. For instance, in Devi Atharvashirsha, it is said bhaumāśvinyāṁ mahādevī-sannidhau japtvā mahāmr̥tyuṁ tarati, that is, one can cross even mahāmr̥tyu by doing parayanam when Tuesday and Ashvini join.

आदित्यहस्ते गुरुपुष्ययोगे बुधानुराधा शनिरोहिणी च।
सोमे च सौम्यं भृगुरेवती च भौमाश्विनी चामृतसिद्धियोगाः॥

वन-रक्षक-वैष्णव-हत्या #२९३

Event occured on 1730-09-22 (gregorian). Julian date was converted to Gregorian in this reckoning.

On roughly this day, several biShnoi-s died protecting khejri trees from the king’s men. The king came, apologized and turned the village into a sanctuary.

A royal party led by giridhar bhaNDArI, a minister of the maharajah of Marwar, arrived at Jalnadi village (later known as khejralI) with the intention of felling some Khejri trees that were sacred to the villagers. The trees were to be burned to produce lime for fort (some say palace) construction. A local woman called Amrita Devi protested against the tree-felling because such acts were prohibited by the vishnoi’s religion. The royal party said that they would only cease if she paid them a bribe, which she refused. She said that she would rather give away her life to save the trees. She and her three daughters (Asu, Ratni and Bhagu) were then killed by the party.

News of the deaths spread and summons to a meeting were sent to 84 Bishnoi villages. The meeting determined that one Bishnoi volunteer would sacrifice their life for every tree that was cut down. Older people began hugging the trees that were intended to be cut and many were killed. They said: ‘A chopped head is cheaper than a felled tree’ (“सिर साटै रूँख रहे - तो भी सस्तो जाँण”). Bhandari claimed that the Bishnois were sacrificing ageing people whom they no longer saw as useful to society. In response to this, young men, women and children began to follow the example of the old. 363 Bishnois (294 men & 69 women) died in the incident.

Aftermath

The shocked tree-felling party left for Jodhpur with their mission unfulfilled. When the Maharaja Abhai Singh of Marwar heard about this, he was filled with remorse and came to the village to personally apologize to the people. He promised them that they would never again be asked to provide timber to the ruler, no khejri tree would ever be cut, and hunting would be banned near the Bishnoi villages. The proclamation, in a tAmra-patra, is displayed in a memorial.

Later, memorials were erected in memory of the martyrs - including a cenotaph, Khejarli Shahid Sthal, Jambheshwar sathari, aka amrita Devi vishnoismariti vatika. Every year fair is take place on bhAdrapada-shukla-dashamI. To remember their sacrifice, the government declared September 11 as National Forest Martyrs’ Day.

The Khejarli story inspired another environmental movement—the Chipko Andolan (1973) in the Tehri-Garhwal Himalaya. This, in turn, spawned the Jungle Bachao Andolan (1982) in Bihar and Jharkhand, the Appiko Chaluvali (1983) in the Western Ghats of Karnataka, and other similar protests. The ‘tree-hugging’ tactic of the Chipko Andolan and its messages gained popularity in many countries beyond India’s borders, leading to protests in Switzerland, Japan, Malaysia, The Philippines, Indonesia and Thailand.

अक्षरधाम-हत्या #२१

Event occured on 2002-09-24 (gregorian).

On 24 September 2002 (4:45 pm), Murtaza Hafiz Yasin and Ashraf Ali Mohammad Farooq attacked the Swaminarayan Akshardham complex at Gandhinagar, Gujarat, India. They killed 30 people and injured more than 80. This was shortly after the Godhra burning of Hindu pilgrims and the subsequent riots. A priest recalled “a mother begging for the lives of her children-later identified as Priya and Bhailu Chauhan, aged three and four. The woman, Sumitra, had been running with her little boy and girl when she was felled by a bullet in the leg. The killer nodded to her pleas, then turned his gun towards the children and, to the horror of the mother, mowed them down.”

At 4:48 pm, three minutes after the attack began, Vishwavihari Swami, at the Akshardham Temple Complex, made an SOS call to Chief Minister Narendra Modi’s office and informed them about the attack. By 5:15 pm, Chief Minister of Gujarat Narendra Modi called the Deputy Prime Minister L.K. Advani in Delhi and asked for the National Security Guards (NSG). At 10:10 pm, two buses of NSG commandos and one bus filled with NSG equipment arrived at Akshardham. By approximately 11:30 pm, after reviewing multiple strategies, 35 Black Cat commandos positioned themselves throughout the Akshardham Temple Complex in an effort to find the terrorists. At approximately 6:45 am, the 14-hour-long ordeal ended with the Black Cat Commandos shooting the two terrorists hiding in the bushes. During this overnight search for the attackers, one state police officer and one commando lost their lives. Another commando, Surjan Singh Bhandari, was seriously injured and died in May 2004, after being in coma for two years.

Aftermath

The head of BAPS Swaminarayan Sanstha which manages the temple, Pramukh Swami Maharaj, successfully appealed to maintain peace. Gujarat police later arrested several people, who were sentenced in 2006, but were acquitted in the Supreme Court in 2014.

Event occured on 1987-09-25 (gregorian).

On this day, Indigenous Christian Fijians led by Sitiveni Rabuka effected a military coup (their second that year), tore up the constitution, discarded multi-ethnic governments and compromises, triggering exodus of Indian origin Fijians from the Island.

Context
  • Tensions between indigenous (mostly Methodist Christian) Fijian and (majority Hindu) Indo-Fijian ethnic groups (comprising an estimated 46% and 49% of the 1987 population, respectively) were high. The former were additionally supported by the Church and the native Chiefs.
  • The Indians had come to neglect participation in the Army for many decades (Their demanding equal pay as Euroeans during WW2 caused the British to disband the Indian platoon).
  • Also, Indian Total Fertility Rate (which was initially higher than the natives) had fallen.
Aftermath
  • A new constitution was ratified in 1990, in which the offices of President and Prime Minister, along with two-thirds of the Senate and a substantial majority of the House of Representatives, were reserved for indigenous Fijians. These racially discriminatory provisions were eventually overturned by a constitutional revision in 1997.
  • The coups triggered much emigration by Indo-Fijians (particularly skilled workers), making them a minority by 1994.
  • Fiji’s economy contracted by as much as 7.8% between 1987 and 1988, due to a major downturn in tourism and sugar production.
  • Further coups happened in 2000-s.

एऩादिनाथ नायऩ्मार् (९) गुरुपूजै

Observed on Uttarāṣāḍhā nakshatra of Kanyā (sidereal solar) month (Prātaḥ/paraviddha).

Between the 6th and 9th centuries, in South India, there existed 63 ardent devotees of Lord Shiva, collectively known as the Nayanmars. These devout individuals, hailing from various walks of life including potters, fishermen, farmers, merchants, priests, hunters, and washermen, created devotional songs still sung by followers around the globe. Among these Nayanmars, Appar, Sambandar, and Sundarar, known for their Thevaram hymns, along with Manikkavasagar, are distinguished as the Samayacharyas or the ‘The Four’ (ta:nālvar) revered teachers of the faith. They were instrumental in promoting the Shaiva Siddhanta philosophy and culture, effectively challenging the spread of Jainism and Buddhism. Their teachings centered around the concept that Shiva embodies love, and that embracing love for all beings and existence is essential in connecting with Shiva, the Supreme Being.

Enadinatha Nayanmar, a toddy tapper (Shanar) by profession and a fervent devotee of Lord Shiva, hailed from Eyinanur in the Chola Kingdom, located near Kumbakonam. The 9th of the Nayanmars, he revered not only Lord Shiva but also any person who bore the mark of Vibhuti, the sacred ash, symbolizing the destruction of ego, illusions, and desires, leading to spiritual liberation.

Enadinatha Nayanmar, also an expert swordsman, earned his livelihood by training princes in fencing. He dedicated his earnings to serving Shiva Bhaktas, earning him popularity but also the envy of Atisuran, a less competent and vice-ridden rival in the same profession. Atisuran, desiring to defeat Enadinatha, challenged him to a fight, resulting in a fierce battle where many lives were lost, and Atisuran fled.

The next day, Atisuran proposed a one-on-one duel at a secluded location. Enadinatha agreed and met Atisuran at the agreed place. However, when Atisuran revealed the sacred ash on his forehead, Enadinatha, in his devotion to Lord Shiva, refused to fight, recognizing Atisuran as a Shiva Bhakta. Despite his unwillingness to harm Atisuran, Enadinatha kept his sword, not wanting to compel Atisuran to sin by killing an unarmed person. Atisuran then took the opportunity to kill Enadinatha.

Lord Shiva, impressed by Enadinatha’s profound devotion and self-sacrifice for the sake of the sacred ash, appeared before him as he fell, and took him to His divine abode. This story highlights the immense reverence and selflessness of Enadinatha Nayanmar in his devotion to Lord Shiva and His devotees.

दशावतार-व्रतम्

Observed on Śukla-Daśamī tithi of Bhādrapadaḥ (lunar) month (Sūryōdayaḥ/puurvaviddha).

On this daśamī day of the bright fortnight of Nabhasya (Bhadrapada), the Dashavatara Vratam is observed. After Snanam, Sandhya, Deva-rishi-pitr-tarpanam etc., one should worship the ten avataras (of Vishnu), viz. Matsya, Kurma, Varaha, Narasimha, Trivikrama, Parshurama, Shri Rama, Krishna, Buddha and Kalki. One should worship ten golden images (pratimā) of these incarnations and donate them to ten Brahmanas. One should fast or eat once and should also feed the Brahmanas. Having performed this vratam with devotion, one ultimately goes to the eternal viṣṇulōka, in a vimānam.

अथो नभस्य शुक्लायां दशम्यां द्विजसत्तम।

सोमश्रावणी-योगः
  • 11:52→

When Shravana nakshatra falls on a Monday, it is a special yōgaḥ. When Rohini nakshatra falls on a Saturday, it is a special yōgaḥ. In the cyclic rotation of time, along with the bad combinations of grahas and nakshatras that indicate the probability of upcoming difficulties, good combinations that grant benefits in multiples also arise. Among such good combinations are the Amrita Siddhi yogas of certain weekdays and nakshatras. They are Sunday-Hasta, Monday-Mrigashirsha, Tuesday-Ashvini, Wednesday-Anuradha, Thursday-Pushya, Friday-Revati, Saturday-Rohini. Good deeds performed on such yogas become especially strong in protecting and nourishing us. For instance, in Devi Atharvashirsha, it is said bhaumāśvinyāṁ mahādevī-sannidhau japtvā mahāmr̥tyuṁ tarati, that is, one can cross even mahāmr̥tyu by doing parayanam when Tuesday and Ashvini join.

When a tripādanakṣatra is conjoined with a bhadrā tithi i.e. dvitīyā, saptamī or dvādaśī, and this falls on a Tuesday, Sunday or Saturday, it is known as a tripuṣkara-yōgaḥ. The dvipuṣkara occurs when the bhadrā tithis coincide with the same days as above, but with the dvipāda nakṣatras, which are mr̥gaśīrṣa, chitrā and dhaniṣṭhā. Like the tripuṣkara which gives a three-fold multiplier for śubha and aśubha, the dvipuṣkara has a two-fold effect.

विजया/श्रवण-महाद्वादशी

Dvadashi tithi, combined with Shravana nakshatra is extremely special. In this case, it is acceptable to skip the Ekadashi fast and fast primarily on Shravana Dvadashi. Those who are able to fast on both days may fast on both days. The Shravana Dvadashi fast is nitya, meaning there is a pratyavāya for not performing it. It is said the the puṇya accumulated over the previous five years is destroyed, by not fasting on Shravana Dvadashi.

नरचिङ्गमुऩैयरैय नायऩ्मार् (४१) गुरुपूजै

Observed on Śatabhiṣak nakshatra of Kanyā (sidereal solar) month (Prātaḥ/paraviddha).

Between the 6th and 9th centuries, in South India, there existed 63 ardent devotees of Lord Shiva, collectively known as the Nayanmars. These devout individuals, hailing from various walks of life including potters, fishermen, farmers, merchants, priests, hunters, and washermen, created devotional songs still sung by followers around the globe. Among these Nayanmars, Appar, Sambandar, and Sundarar, known for their Thevaram hymns, along with Manikkavasagar, are distinguished as the Samayacharyas or the ‘The Four’ (ta:nālvar) revered teachers of the faith. They were instrumental in promoting the Shaiva Siddhanta philosophy and culture, effectively challenging the spread of Jainism and Buddhism. Their teachings centered around the concept that Shiva embodies love, and that embracing love for all beings and existence is essential in connecting with Shiva, the Supreme Being.

This Nayanmar, a minor chieftain from Tiru Munaipadi, was a fervent devotee of Lord Shiva and a staunch supporter of Shaivism. On every Tiruvathirai day, he would hold special Pujas, feed Shiva devotees regardless of their appearance, and generously offer each devotee a hundred gold coins.

During one such event, a devotee arrived with his body covered solely in sacred ashes, completely naked, causing discomfort among the other devotees. The Nayanmar, perceiving this, fell at the devotee’s feet, and demonstrated his profound respect by not only feeding the naked devotee with greater reverence but also by offering him double the usual gift — 200 gold coins! This incident highlights the Nayanmar’s deep understanding and acceptance that every devotee is an embodiment of Lord Shiva, regardless of their external appearance.

Event occured on 1942-09-28 (gregorian).

On this day, Indian policemen employed by the British Raj fired on an unarmed crowd of 6k freedom protestors for 30 minutes. 29 persons including one woman named Pari Bewa, aged 65, died on the spot and 56 persons were mortally wounded.

Police contingent with 27 persons came. A boatman, Raj Jena, refused to ferry them in his boat at Chudamani ferry Ghat. They themselves ferried and proceeded into Iram, the headquarter of Swadhin Banchhanidhi Chakala. Having seen this, one Kusha Tarai, a boatman, began to blow conch shell as an alarm and swam the river and informed the leader at Iram. The conch blowing got itself repeated from village to village to indicate the arrival of the British forces. Soon a vast assemblage congregated at Iram melan ground as per the prior resolution of Swadhin Banchhanidhi Chakala, a parallel government of 19 square miles. As the chowkidars were carrying the kits of the troops through the meeting place, 2 of the persons named Mani Bej of Adhuan and Ratnakar Biswal of Suan intercepted and snatched away the luggage saying, “You can’t carry the belongings of the slaves of the Raj.” DSP Kunjabehari Mohanty and sub-Inspector Hema Panigrahi decided to fire. Bullets were distributed. In 30 minutes of firing, 304 rounds of 303 Mark VI ammunition had been fired into the crowd.

Context: The people of Iram had actively participated in the Non-cooperation Movement of 1920, the Civil Disobedience Movement of 1930, and the Quit India Movement of 1942 successively. Most of the leaders like Pt. Gopabandhu Dash, Dr. Harekrushna Mahatab, Pt. Nilakantha, Rama Devi, Md. Hanif, Poet Banchhanidhi Mohanty, and more freedom fighters made Iram a cauldron of revolution. The zamindar Late Radhakanta Parhi of Iram dispatched a letter secretly to the British employed DSP.

ऎसूरु-विद्रोहः #८१

Event occured on 1942-09-28 (gregorian).

On September 28, 1942, the residents of Esuru refused to pay tax to the British government. Expecting a backlash, they prepared to face the British. They put up a board reading, ‘Swaraj Sarkar’ and hoisted the tricolour. When British officials tried to enter Esuru, there was a ‘riot’ which led to the death of a revenue officer Chennakrishnaiah and a revenue ‘amaldar’ (Kenche Gowda?).

Aftermath
  • British government sent police troops to reclaim the village.
  • Anticipating the trouble, villagers fenced all the roads leading to Esuru.
  • All freedom fighters took shelter in a nearby forest, leaving the children, women and elders in the village. Empty streets greeted the British forces. Frustrated British jawans were violent with the remainder.
  • Five youth were hanged and hundreds were imprisoned.
  • After Independence, all of them were released and a grand reception was given to them by the people of Shivamogga.

    1. The system of farming the revenues is found oppressive to the ryots: it should be modified after a careful enquiry.
    1. The two holy places Prayag and Benares should be released from Muslim control. This was the ardent desire of my sires and now is the time to carry it out.
    1. My mother’s desire to perform the pilgrimage of Benares should be fulfilled as soon as convenient.
    1. The obsequies of Bhau Saheb should be performed next February, whether aunt Parwatibai becomes sati or not.
    1. The annuities assigned to the worthy Brahmans of Benares should be regularly paid and continued in heredity.
    1. Dinners in connection with my funeral rites should be served to two lacs of Brahmans each with half an anna for dakshana.
    1. Dadasaheb should have five lacs of jagir assigned for his maintenance in order to keep him contented.
    1. The charities of the Shravan month should be continued as long as the administration brings in at least 5 lacs of revenue yearly.

रुद्र-पशुपति नायऩ्मार् (१७) गुरुपूजै

Observed on Aśvinī nakshatra of Kanyā (sidereal solar) month (Prātaḥ/paraviddha).

Between the 6th and 9th centuries, in South India, there existed 63 ardent devotees of Lord Shiva, collectively known as the Nayanmars. These devout individuals, hailing from various walks of life including potters, fishermen, farmers, merchants, priests, hunters, and washermen, created devotional songs still sung by followers around the globe. Among these Nayanmars, Appar, Sambandar, and Sundarar, known for their Thevaram hymns, along with Manikkavasagar, are distinguished as the Samayacharyas or the ‘The Four’ (ta:nālvar) revered teachers of the faith. They were instrumental in promoting the Shaiva Siddhanta philosophy and culture, effectively challenging the spread of Jainism and Buddhism. Their teachings centered around the concept that Shiva embodies love, and that embracing love for all beings and existence is essential in connecting with Shiva, the Supreme Being.

The 17th of the Nayanmars, Rudra Pasupathi Nayanmar, was an unparalleled devotee of Lord Shiva, engaged in a specific spiritual practice involving Shri Rudram (The Yajur Veda, which is considered the Head of the Lord, contains seven Kandas. At the heart of the middle Kanda lies Shri Rudram, which celebrates the many magnificent manifestations of Lord Shiva and is highly revered in spiritual practices).

His method of worship included standing neck-deep in water and reciting Sri Rudram. This particular form of devotion, combining the sanctity of the scripture with the purifying nature of water, was believed to be especially potent. As a result of his deep devotion and unique practice, Rudra Pasupathi Nayanmar was graced by Lord Shiva with Moksha, the liberation of the soul from the cycle of birth and death, achieving ultimate spiritual fulfillment.

दुर्गादासो मृतः #३०५

Event occured on 1718-10-03 (gregorian). Julian date was converted to Gregorian in this reckoning.

On this day died one of the bravest latter day rAjaputras- durgAdAs rAthore - now under the service of Mewar. He had fought mogols for over 30 years, and saved jodhpur and its royals from annexation and conversion. Durgadas Rathore’s memorial at the banks of Kshipra river, Ujjain, serves to remind us of his dedicated struggle. A bard would pray: “eh mAtA pUt esA jin jesA durgA-dAs” (may every [rAjaput] mother have a son like durgAdAs.)

कृत्तिका-व्रतम्

Observed on every occurrence of Kr̥ttikā nakshatra (Sūryāstamayaḥ/puurvaviddha).

kr̥ttikā-vratam for Lord Subrahmanya. Observe fast for the entire day, and obtain blessings of all the kr̥ttikā-striyaḥ who raised skanda after His birth. Three Vratas are very special for Subrahmanya—the bhr̥guvāra-subrahmaṇya-vratam in tulāmāsa, this regular kr̥ttikā vratam, and skandaṣaṣṭhivratam.

शिवराजस्य तान्त्रिकाभिषेकः #३४९

Event occured on 1674-10-04 (gregorian). Julian date was converted to Gregorian in this reckoning.

On lalitapanchamI (ashvin shuddha 5), nishchapapurI, as requested by shivAjI, conducted a tAntrik coronation. This was preceeded by ill omens such as a lightening strike, deaths of jIjAbai, kAshIbAi and pratAprAv.

तिरुनाळैप्पोवार् नायऩ्मार् (१८) गुरुपूजै

Observed on Rōhiṇī nakshatra of Kanyā (sidereal solar) month (Prātaḥ/paraviddha).

Between the 6th and 9th centuries, in South India, there existed 63 ardent devotees of Lord Shiva, collectively known as the Nayanmars. These devout individuals, hailing from various walks of life including potters, fishermen, farmers, merchants, priests, hunters, and washermen, created devotional songs still sung by followers around the globe. Among these Nayanmars, Appar, Sambandar, and Sundarar, known for their Thevaram hymns, along with Manikkavasagar, are distinguished as the Samayacharyas or the ‘The Four’ (ta:nālvar) revered teachers of the faith. They were instrumental in promoting the Shaiva Siddhanta philosophy and culture, effectively challenging the spread of Jainism and Buddhism. Their teachings centered around the concept that Shiva embodies love, and that embracing love for all beings and existence is essential in connecting with Shiva, the Supreme Being.

Nandanar, a Pulaiyar (agricultural labourers/singers) by birth, was born in Adanoor in the Chola kingdom. Known for his deep humility and devotion, Lord Shiva was his only solace. Nandanar would often visit sacred pilgrimage sites, providing temples with leather drums and other musical instruments. However, due to his community’s traditions, he always worshipped from outside the temple premises.

Once, Nandanar longed to visit Tirupunkur to see Lord Shiva and offer his services. At Tirupunkur, his view of the deity was obstructed by the Nandi statue in front of the temple. In response to Nandanar’s fervent prayers, Lord Shiva commanded Nandi to move aside, allowing Nandanar to have a clear view of the deity. This event was so significant that the statue of Nandi in Tirupunkur remains shifted to one side even today. After fulfilling his desire of digging a tank near the temple, Nandanar returned to Adanoor.

Nandanar’s next aspiration was to visit Chidambaram and witness the cosmic dance of Lord Nataraja. Nandanar’s love for Lord Shiva grew so intense that he often told his companions, “I will surely go to Chidambaram tomorrow,” earning him the name “Tiru Nalai Povar” (the one who would go tomorrow). Finally, driven by his yearning, Nandanar embarked on a journey to Chidambaram. However, upon reaching the village, he hesitated to enter due to his low birth.

Nandanar prayed to the Lord, expressing his desire to witness His cosmic dance in the Nritya Sabha but lamenting his inability to enter the temple. The Lord, moved by his devotion, appeared in Nandanar’s dream and instructed him to take a fire bath and join the Brahmanas in the Kanaka Sabha. Similarly, the Lord appeared in the dreams of the Brahmanas, informing them of Nandanar’s arrival and instructing them to prepare a sacred fire for his purification.

The Brahmanas of Tillai prepared this sacred fire for Nandanar. Respectfully inviting him, they witnessed Nandanar walk into the fire, only to emerge transformed with a new holy body adorned with sacred ashes, holy thread, and matted locks. Nandanar then entered the temple and was absorbed in Lord Nataraja’s dance. Finally, engulfed in a dazzling light, Nandanar disappeared, merging with his beloved Lord Nataraja.

Nandanar’s story is a powerful testament to the transformative power of devotion and the unwavering faith that can overcome societal barriers. He continues to be revered as a Nayanmar, inspiring generations with his unwavering devotion to Lord Shiva.

The Krishna-paksha Ekadashi of bhādrapada month is known as indirā-ēkādaśī. Indrasena’s son did Ekadashi and as a result he was shifted from hell to heaven.

पक्षे पक्षे च कर्तव्यमेकादश्यामुपोषणम्।
यदीच्छेद्विष्णुसायुज्यं श्रियं सन्ततिमात्मनः।
एकादश्यां न भुञ्जीत पक्षयोरुभयोरपि॥

अद्य स्थित्वा निराहारः श्वोभूते परमेश्वर।

Event occured on 1700-10-12 (gregorian). Julian date was converted to Gregorian in this reckoning.

On this day, fear of the Marathas grips Aurangzeb and he falls down and hurts his leg in the lavatory and remains lame for rest of his life continuing the legacy of his ancestor Taimurlang. (Muntakhabulubab of Khafi Khan, vol 2, page 476) The below account is from “History of Aurangzib v5 ch 54, pg 138 by jAduNath sarkar.

After five weeks' rest at Bhushangarh, the imperial camp was shifted (on 30th August 1700), to Khawaspur,(17.30 N. 75.1 E. on the Man river; 36 m. east of Bhushangarh, and 14 m. s. e. of Mhasvad.) 36 miles off, where food-stuffs and grass were abundant. Khawaspur stands on the left bank of the Man, a small waterless stream at that point. The tents of the army covered both its banks and even its dry bed, which in that season presented “only the mirage of water.” But in the night of 1st October, while the men were fast asleep, a high flood caused by heavy and untimely rainfall on the hills, came suddenly sweeping through the river bed, overtopped its banks and spread over the plains beyond, “turning the land into one sheet of water.” Many men and animals perished; many more, including even the nobles, were left absolutely poor and naked; nearly all the tents and property were damaged. Happily, the water went down early in the morning, otherwise “not one man would have survived.” [M. A. 431, K. K. ii. 475.]

When the flood first struck the camp, a little before midnight, and the tents began to fill with water, men tried to run to safety, but could see no path of escape in the darkness, only waves on all sides. A loud cry arose throughout the army. The Emperor was in his privy when this universal outcry reached his ears. Imagining that the Marathas had burst into the camp, he rose in alarm, but stumbled and dislocated his right knee. The doctors failed to set it properly, and he remained a little lame for the rest of his life. (He took his bath of recovery, on leaving the sick-bed, on 30th November. [Akhbarat.]) The Court flatterers used to console him by saying that it was the heritage of his ancestor Timur the Lame and a token that he would repeat the victories and success of that world-conqueror! [K. K. 476, Storia, 255, Dil. ii. 134a.]

राजेन्द्रलाल-वीरगतिः #७७

Event occured on 1946-10-12 (gregorian).

On this day, rAjendralAl, the president of the Noakhali Bar Association and the Noakhali District Hindu Mahasabha, died defending his home and family from Islamist mobs during the Noakhali riots.

On 11 October, the private army of Gholam Sarwar, known as the Miyar Fauz, attacked the residence of Rajendralal Roychowdhury. At that time Swami Tryambakananda of Bharat Sevashram Sangha was staying at their house as a guest. Roychowdhury fended off the mob from his terrace with his rifle for the entire day, while the Swami stood at the entrance with his khaDga. At nightfall, when they retreated, he sent the swami and his family members to safety. The next day the mob attacked again. Rajendralal Roychowdhury’s severed head was presented to Golam Sarwar on a platter. While some notes claim that his two daughters were then kidnapped, actually they (Basanti and Reba) seem to have come to Kolkata as refugees.

On 11 January 1947, the corpses of the Roychowdhurys were exhumed from a swamp in Azimpur and brought before Mahatma Gandhi’s prayer assembly at Lamchar High School. After the prayers the corpses were cremated according to Hindu rites.

Event occured on 1947-10-15 (gregorian).

On this night, Muslim Kashmiri soldiers led by Major Nasarullah Khan brutally massaccred their Hindu fellows (some in their sleep) and joined Pakistani Islamist invaders.

Killing

On the night of 15/16 October 1947, a large party of raiders laid siege to Tharochi Fort where two companies of 2 J&K Battalion, one Gorkha and one Muslim had taken refuge. Brigadier Chhattar Singh in command of the Mirpur Brigade ordered his Brigade Major (BM), Major Nasarullah Khan to take two platoons of 3 JAK Battalion to deliver supplies and ammunition to the garrison in the Fort.

####### The garrison On the way, he also assumed command of two companies sent earlier to relieve the besieged garrison. He deployed the Muslim Company on perimeter defense duty outside the Fort and told the Gorkhas to rest. Nasarullah Khan then called a meeting of all Muslim officers and JCOs and hatched a plan to eliminate the non-Muslim elements. During the night, the Muslim Company mercilessly butchered the sleeping Gorkhas! The Gorkha Commander, Captain Prem Singh was strangled to death by Muslim brother officers of his own battalion. Two Gorkha JCOs and 30 Other Ranks (OR) managed to escape the massacre.

####### The fort Major Nasarullah Khan then led the Muslim troops inside the Tharochhi Fort where the garrison, was unaware of the developments of the night before and received the relieving column with joy. And at night, the unsuspecting Gorkhas were all murdered in a repeat performance. Their commander, Captain Raghubir Singh Thapa was tortured to death!

Context

Such betrayal by almost all the Muslim soldiers in the Maharaja’s army led to the crisis which followed.

कुञ्जपुर-युद्धम् #२२४

Event occured on 1799-10-16 (gregorian).

18th-19th Oct 1760 - Bhau took Kunjpura on upper yamunA bank in haryANa by storm (having 15k afghAns), Thousands of the enemy (including top generals like Najabat Khan) were killed. The Marathas celebrated Dushehra ‘overcoming evil’.

Aftermath

Ahmad Shah was encamped on the left bank of the Yamuna River, which was swollen by rains, and was powerless to aid the garrison. The massacre of the Kunjpura garrison, within sight of the Durrani camp, exasperated Abdali to such an extent that he ordered crossing of the river at all costs. Between 23 and 25 October they were able to cross at Baghpat(a small town about 24 miles up the river), unopposed by the Marathas who were still preoccupied with the sacking of Kunjpura.

वीर-पाण्ड्य-कट्ट-ब्रह्मो हतः #२२४

Event occured on 1799-10-16 (gregorian).

Veerapandya Kattabomman was hanged to death by the British from a tamarind tree at Kayathar on this date in 16 October 1799. Thread on one of the great freedom fighters, who would be an inspiration to many revolutionaries in Tamil Nadu. He was 39.

Context

After 1781, British took over navAb of Arkot’s finances, and then his army. Thence they went from strength to strength. kaTTabomman, an able warrior from an Andhra-origin family, was adapted and crowned as the ruler on February 2, 1790 by Jagaveera Pandya of Veerapandiyapuram. He repudiated British demands for humble subordination and taxes. British however successfully managed to wean away most of his neighbouring allies, ultimately went to war and won owing to superior military and finiancial might. After repeated attempts, they successfully captured him.

In the trial that followed, Kattabomman, refused to give up on his self respect, and accused the British of illegal, immoral occupation. When the British offered him amnesty, if he asked for a pardon, Kattabomman shot back - “Do what you want cowards”.

Aftermath

He would inspire a generation of freedom fighters and revolutionaries. There is a memorial at Kayathar, TN where he was hanged to death. Also Indian Navy’s communication center at Vijayanarayanam is named after Kattabomman. The biopic of Veerapandya Kattabomman starring Shivaji Ganesan, is regarded as a classic in Tamil cinema.

बुधानुराधा-योगः

When anūrādhā nakshatra falls on a Wednesday, it is a special yōgaḥ for performing dānam. One can do dānaṁ of dadhyōdanam in Vishnu temples on this day. When Rohini nakshatra falls on a Saturday, it is a special yōgaḥ. In the cyclic rotation of time, along with the bad combinations of grahas and nakshatras that indicate the probability of upcoming difficulties, good combinations that grant benefits in multiples also arise. Among such good combinations are the Amrita Siddhi yogas of certain weekdays and nakshatras. They are Sunday-Hasta, Monday-Mrigashirsha, Tuesday-Ashvini, Wednesday-Anuradha, Thursday-Pushya, Friday-Revati, Saturday-Rohini. Good deeds performed on such yogas become especially strong in protecting and nourishing us. For instance, in Devi Atharvashirsha, it is said bhaumāśvinyāṁ mahādevī-sannidhau japtvā mahāmr̥tyuṁ tarati, that is, one can cross even mahāmr̥tyu by doing parayanam when Tuesday and Ashvini join.

सरस्वती-आवाहनम्

Observed on Mūlā nakshatra of Āśvayujaḥ (lunar) month (Madhyāhnaḥ/puurvaviddha).

Being mūlā nakshatra, it is another ideal day to begin Saraswati Puja. If not, at least perform on Navami. During the Saraswati Puja days, those desirous of obtaining knowledge must not teach, learn or write anything!

अथवा मूलनक्षत्रे समारभ्य प्रपूजयेत्।
तत्राप्यशक्तो विप्रेन्द्रो नवम्यां तु प्रपूजयेत्॥
नाऽध्यापयेन्न च लिखेन्नाऽधीयीत कदाचन।
पुस्तके स्थापिते देवीं विद्याकामो द्विजोत्तमः॥

  • 11:53→17:42

When the transit of the Sun (saṅkrānti) happens in the second half of the day (aparāhṇa) and before midnight, the second half of the day is a puṇyakāla for various observances. In addition to 16 ghatikas on either side of the transition, and specific puṇyakālas like ṣaḍaśīti, viṣṇupadī etc., this is also useful, especially in cases where the other puṇyakālas are inconvenient for appropriate performance of rituals such as snāna, dāna, tarpaṇa, etc.

सोमश्रावणी-योगः
  • →17:11

When Shravana nakshatra falls on a Monday, it is a special yōgaḥ. When Rohini nakshatra falls on a Saturday, it is a special yōgaḥ. In the cyclic rotation of time, along with the bad combinations of grahas and nakshatras that indicate the probability of upcoming difficulties, good combinations that grant benefits in multiples also arise. Among such good combinations are the Amrita Siddhi yogas of certain weekdays and nakshatras. They are Sunday-Hasta, Monday-Mrigashirsha, Tuesday-Ashvini, Wednesday-Anuradha, Thursday-Pushya, Friday-Revati, Saturday-Rohini. Good deeds performed on such yogas become especially strong in protecting and nourishing us. For instance, in Devi Atharvashirsha, it is said bhaumāśvinyāṁ mahādevī-sannidhau japtvā mahāmr̥tyuṁ tarati, that is, one can cross even mahāmr̥tyu by doing parayanam when Tuesday and Ashvini join.

मरुत्-पाण्ड्य-हत्या #२२२

Event occured on 1801-10-24 (gregorian).

On this day, the British hung Periya and Chinna Marudhu pANDiyas of shivagangA, tamiL-nADu at Tiruppattur fort.

Context

In 1772, Muhammad Ali Khan Wallajah, (the Nawab of Arcot) had killed Muthuvaduganatha Thevar over his refusal to pay taxes. However Marudhu Pandiyars and Queen Velunachiyar escaped, and stayed with Gopala Nayak in Virupakshipuram for 8 years. After this time, an alliance of kingdoms led by the Pandiyar attacked Sivagangai and retook it in 1789. Both Maruthu Pandiyars were given high positions in the kingdom.

After 1781, British took over navAb of Arkot’s finances, and then his army. Thence they went from strength to strength. The brothers participated in guerilla war against them. They ultimately captured and hung the marudu brothers.

Aftermath

They are credited with inventing the Valari, a variant of the boomerang; and are honored by local tamils.

When Revati nakshatra falls on a Friday, it is a special yōgaḥ. When Rohini nakshatra falls on a Saturday, it is a special yōgaḥ. In the cyclic rotation of time, along with the bad combinations of grahas and nakshatras that indicate the probability of upcoming difficulties, good combinations that grant benefits in multiples also arise. Among such good combinations are the Amrita Siddhi yogas of certain weekdays and nakshatras. They are Sunday-Hasta, Monday-Mrigashirsha, Tuesday-Ashvini, Wednesday-Anuradha, Thursday-Pushya, Friday-Revati, Saturday-Rohini. Good deeds performed on such yogas become especially strong in protecting and nourishing us. For instance, in Devi Atharvashirsha, it is said bhaumāśvinyāṁ mahādevī-sannidhau japtvā mahāmr̥tyuṁ tarati, that is, one can cross even mahāmr̥tyu by doing parayanam when Tuesday and Ashvini join.

राजेन्द्रसिंह-वीरगतिः #७६

Event occured on 1947-10-27 (gregorian).

On this day, Brigadier Rajinder Singh, chief of kAshmIri Maharaja Hari Singh’s army, died delaying pAkistani invaders before Indian army arrived.

Context

On 22 October 1947, Maharaja Hari Singh gave his Chief of Army Staff, Brigadier Rajinder Singh, the order to defend the state until Indian troops arrived, that he should fight till death in doing so, “save the state till the last man and the last bullet”. Doubtful of Poonchie Muslim soldiers' loyalty, he set off with a few men and outdated weapons, fighting against numerically superior and better armed invaders. Destroying bridges and placing defensive positions while slowly retreating, he successfully delayed the enemy. The Brigadier’s driver was killed so the Brigadier drove himself; however soon after he was also mortally wounded. The Brigadier ordered his men to continue ahead with the planned defensive strategy, and leave him where he was. Nothing more was heard of Brigadier Rajinder Singh. His men continued the fight until the next day, but nearly all were killed soon after.

Aftermath

The delay the Brigadier and his men caused the raiders, a delay of nearly 4 days, was enough for diplomatic decisions to be taken and for the Indian Army to arrive. For his rearguard last-stand actions, Brigadier Rajinder Singh is remembered as the “Saviour of Kashmir”. Brigadier Rajinder’s native hometown of Bagoona has been renamed as Rajinderpura.

तिरुमूल नायऩ्मार् (३०) गुरुपूजै

Observed on Aśvinī nakshatra of Tulā (sidereal solar) month (Prātaḥ/paraviddha).

Between the 6th and 9th centuries, in South India, there existed 63 ardent devotees of Lord Shiva, collectively known as the Nayanmars. These devout individuals, hailing from various walks of life including potters, fishermen, farmers, merchants, priests, hunters, and washermen, created devotional songs still sung by followers around the globe. Among these Nayanmars, Appar, Sambandar, and Sundarar, known for their Thevaram hymns, along with Manikkavasagar, are distinguished as the Samayacharyas or the ‘The Four’ (ta:nālvar) revered teachers of the faith. They were instrumental in promoting the Shaiva Siddhanta philosophy and culture, effectively challenging the spread of Jainism and Buddhism. Their teachings centered around the concept that Shiva embodies love, and that embracing love for all beings and existence is essential in connecting with Shiva, the Supreme Being.

Tirumula Nayanmar, a revered Shaiva Siddha and one of the eight disciples of Tirunandi Devar, embarked on a journey to meet Agastya Rishi in the Pothia hills. Departing from Kailasa, he visited numerous Shaivite shrines and, upon reaching Tiruvavaduthurai, witnessed a herd of mourning cows beside their deceased herder, Mulan. To comfort the cows, Tirumula Nayanmar transferred his consciousness into Mulan’s body, leaving his own physical form in a tree trunk.

Assuming Mulan’s role, he herded the cows back to the village, where Mulan’s wife, expecting her husband, was surprised by his changed demeanor. Declaring himself a changed person and advising her to seek spiritual liberation, Tirumula Nayanmar distanced himself from her, arousing the village’s curiosity. Upon investigation, the villagers acknowledged his spiritual transformation and advised the wife to respect his new path.

Unable to retrieve his original body owing to Lord Shiva’s Lila, Tirumula Nayanmar, still in Mulan’s form, dedicated himself to composing a seminal work on Shaiva Philosophy at Tiruvavaduthurai. He devoted himself to worshiping the Lord and settled beneath a nearby peepal tree, entering a state of deep meditation. He remained in this state of Samadhi for three millennia. However, each year, he momentarily emerged from this deep meditative state to compose a single verse. Over the span of three thousand years, this process led to the creation of three thousand verses, collectively forming the sacred text known as the Tirumandiram. Having accomplished his divine mission, Tirumula Nayanmar returned to Kailasa.

Observed on Apabharaṇī nakshatra of Tulā (sidereal solar) month (Prātaḥ/paraviddha).

Between the 6th and 9th centuries, in South India, there existed 63 ardent devotees of Lord Shiva, collectively known as the Nayanmars. These devout individuals, hailing from various walks of life including potters, fishermen, farmers, merchants, priests, hunters, and washermen, created devotional songs still sung by followers around the globe. Among these Nayanmars, Appar, Sambandar, and Sundarar, known for their Thevaram hymns, along with Manikkavasagar, are distinguished as the Samayacharyas or the ‘The Four’ (ta:nālvar) revered teachers of the faith. They were instrumental in promoting the Shaiva Siddhanta philosophy and culture, effectively challenging the spread of Jainism and Buddhism. Their teachings centered around the concept that Shiva embodies love, and that embracing love for all beings and existence is essential in connecting with Shiva, the Supreme Being.

Koon Pandyan, the hunchbacked Pandyan king of Madurai, was a patron of Tamil poets and had established a Tamil Sangam. His wife, Mangayarkarasiyar, daughter of a Chola king, and his minister, Kulacchirai Nayanmar, were both devout followers of Lord Shiva. However, Koon Pandyan had come under the influence of Jainism, which concerned the queen and the minister as they feared for the future of Shaivism.

Tiru Jnana Sambandar, a revered Nayanmar, arrived in Madurai and was invited into the city by Kulacchirai Nayanmar. Despite attempts by the Jains to harm Sambandar, his divine singing miraculously cured the king of his hunchback and alleviated his pain, leading to his return to Shaivism. The king then earned the title Ninra Seer Nadumara Nayanmar for standing tall and erect.

Following his conversion, the king conquered northern kings at Tirunelveli, spreading Shaivism in those regions with the support of his wife. Both he and Mangayarkarasiyar deeply revered Sambandar and their dedication to their guru and Shaivism ultimately brought them divine grace.

निर्मलेन चतुर्दशानाम् उत्तमानां शिखराणां जयः #४

Event occured on 2019-10-29 (gregorian).

On this day, Nirmal Purja climbed all 14 eight-thousanders (mountain peaks above 8,000 metres or 26,000 feet) in a record time of six months and six days with the aid of bottled oxygen.

Project possible

With a plan to complete all 14 eight-thousand metre summits in seven months, Purja summited the first mountain on 23 April 2019 and completed the first six-summit phase of his “Project Possible 14/7” on 24 May 2019: Annapurna, Dhaulagiri, Kanchenjunga, Mount Everest, Lhotse and Makalu. He climbed with Sherpas Mingma Gyabu “David” Sherpa, Lakpa Dendi, Geljen Sherpa and Tensi Kasang, amongst other mountaineers. The last five summits were climbed in only 12 days.

He broke his previous Guinness World Record by climbing Mount Everest, Lhotse, and Makalu within 2 days and 30 minutes.

Purja completed the second phase in July 2019, climbing Nanga Parbat (8126 m, 6 July), Gasherbrum I (8080 m, 15 July), Gasherbrum II (8034 m, 18 July), K2 (8611 metres, 24 July) and Broad Peak (8047 m, 26 July), all in Pakistan.[29][30]

The third and last phase started in September 2019. He summitted Cho Oyu (8188 m, Tibet, China) on 23 September (after rushing there when he heard that the Chinese will forbid access to the mountain in a few days) and Manaslu (8163 m, Nepal) on 27 September. On 1 October 2019, Chinese authorities agreed to grant Purja and his team a special permit to scale Shishapangma (8027 m, Tibet, China) in the fall season, at the request of the Nepali government (whom he persistently lobbied) and after a big social media campaign. Purja left Nepal for Tibet on 18 October 2019, leading a five-member expedition to climb the mountain and completed Project Possible 14/7 with a successful summit on 29 October using supplemental oxygen.

Other than the fastest ascent with supplemental oxygen of the 14 tallest mountains in the world, Purja broke the following records: most 8000 m mountains in the Spring season, climbing six; most 8000 m mountains in the Summer season, climbing five; fastest summit of the three highest mountains in the world, Everest, K2 and Kanchenjunga; fastest summit of the five highest mountains in the World, Everest, K2, Kanchenjunga, Lhotse and Makalu; fastest lower 8000ers, Gasherbrum 1, 2 and Broad Peak; fastest higher 8000ers, consecutive summits of Everest, Lhotse and Makalu in 48 hours (beats his own previous record of 5 days).

When a tripādanakṣatra is conjoined with a bhadrā tithi i.e. dvitīyā, saptamī or dvādaśī, and this falls on a Tuesday, Sunday or Saturday, it is known as a tripuṣkara-yōgaḥ. When only two of these coincide, it is known as dvipuṣkara. These are specially auspicious times, and are excluded for aparakarmas such as ūnamāsikaśrāddham.

Observed on Kr̥ttikā nakshatra of Tulā (sidereal solar) month (Prātaḥ/paraviddha).

Between the 6th and 9th centuries, in South India, there existed 63 ardent devotees of Lord Shiva, collectively known as the Nayanmars. These devout individuals, hailing from various walks of life including potters, fishermen, farmers, merchants, priests, hunters, and washermen, created devotional songs still sung by followers around the globe.

Their teachings centered around the concept that Shiva embodies love, and that embracing love for all beings and existence is essential in connecting with Shiva, the Supreme Being.

Idangazhi Nayanmar, the king of Velas in Kodumbalur, was a devoted follower of Lord Shiva. He ensured that all the Shiva temples in his region performed rituals as prescribed in the Shiva Agamas. In his domain, there was another devotee of Lord Shiva who, due to financial difficulties, could no longer continue his practice of Maaheshwara Puja and the feeding of other devotees. Driven by his devotion and the need to continue his service, this devotee resorted to stealing paddy from Idangazhi Nayanmar’s granary one night, only to be caught by the guards and brought before the king.

Upon learning that the devotee’s intention was to serve Lord Shiva’s followers, Idangazhi Nayanmar released him. This incident profoundly impacted the king, leading him to a realization that his wealth was not truly his own, but belonged to Lord Shiva and His devotees. In a remarkable gesture of devotion and generosity, Idangazhi Nayanmar granted all devotees of Lord Shiva unrestricted access to his palace and granary, allowing them to take whatever they needed. This act of selflessness and dedication to the welfare of Lord Shiva’s devotees greatly enhanced the spread of Shaivism and garnered divine grace for Idangazhi Nayanmar.

गिल्जित-द्रोहः #७६

Event occured on 1947-10-31 (gregorian).

On this day, Gilgit was lost to betrayal by muslim-dominated Gilgit Scouts.

Events

Brigadier Ghansara Singh was appointed the governor of the Gilgit region by the Maharaja in August of 1947. He was to defend the region with help of Gilgit Scouts, the armed militia which owed its allegiance to Maharaja. Most of the soldiers in this body were recruited from Hunza and Nagar principalities. Ghansara Singh also had under him soldiers of 6 J&K Infantry, with its Battalion headquarters at Bunji, 54 kilometers from Gilgit, on the road to Srinagar. The battalion had Sikhs and Muslims in equal proportion. Most of the Muslims in the battalion were from Poonch. Sensing trouble, Ghansara Singh called for help from Srinagar, but a Muslim officer who manned the telegraph office at Gilgit did not forward the messages!

On the night of 31 Oct- 01 Nov 1947 British Officers stationed in Gilgit, under the employment of Maharaja, and Muslim soldiers and officers of Gilgit Scouts treacherously captured Ghansara Singh. The 35 Sikhs of the 6 J&K Infantry at Janglot were attacked by Muslim soldiers of their own unit! Only 1 survived the massacre by jumping into the icy cold Indus river.

The other Sikh troops at Bunji got information of the massacre and tried to slip away, but most were ruthlessly hunted and killed by Gilgit Scouts and their own brothers-in-arms. The commander at Bunji, Lt Col Abdul Majid Khan, however, was a rare Muslim officer who remained loyal to Maharaja and was put under arrest. On 03 Nov 1947, Maj Brown of Gilgit Scouts hoisted the Pakistani Flag in the Scout Lines and declared for Pakistan.

Context

GB was annexed to Pakistan by Major William brown (an English officer) in order to cut India’s access to Central Asian oil riches (“wells of power” - Caroe).

Aftermath

Major Brown was given an MBE by Brit government. Later he was attacked & left for dead in Kolkata by Sikhs trying to avenge the Bunji massacre, he survived.

लस्वरि-युद्धम् #२२०

Event occured on 1803-11-01 (gregorian).

British under General Lake defeated the marATha shiNDe army under ambAjI ingale after a fierce battle. The shiNDe army was sadly not joined by other powers, even marATha ones.

In the days leading up to the battle, Europeans employed by daulatrAv shiNDe to train and lead his army with new tactics treacherously defected to the British- especially the Frenchman Dudrenec and British officers like Smith and Larpent. The brave but less experienced / capable AmbajI had to fill in. Still, the marATha-s were advancing to Delhi before General Lake rushed and caught up.

Letter by Gerard Lake at Camp Laswari, November 2, 1803 To the Governor General Marquis Wellesley:
“I sent you last night an account of our having at length completed the defeat of all the forces belonging to Perron or Scindiah on this side of India, which has been effected by great fatigue, difficulty and severe loss. These battalions were most uncommonly well appointed, had a most numerous artillery, as well served as they can possibly be, the gunners standing to their guns until killed by the bayonet. All the sepoys of the enemy behaved exceedingly well, and if they had been commanded by French officers, the event would have been, I fear, extremely doubtful. I never was in so severe a business in my life or anything like it and I pray to God I never may be in such a situation again”

When a tripādanakṣatra is conjoined with a bhadrā tithi i.e. dvitīyā, saptamī or dvādaśī, and this falls on a Tuesday, Sunday or Saturday, it is known as a tripuṣkara-yōgaḥ. When only two of these coincide, it is known as dvipuṣkara. These are specially auspicious times, and are excluded for aparakarmas such as ūnamāsikaśrāddham.

उत्सवाः

  • गोरक्षा-पर-मारणम् #५७, राजपुर्यां हिन्दुकहत्या #७६
गोरक्षा-पर-मारणम् #५७

Event occured on 1966-11-07 (gregorian).

On this day, thousands of sAdhu-s protesting against cow slaughtered were fired upon by police under Indira G. While the official report said that 375 Hindus (250 sAdhu-s) were killed in the firing, according to participants, the number is about 5000. As per Hindu Panchang, that day was Kartik Shukla Ashtami of Vikram Samvat, known as Gopashtami among Hindus.

It is believed that after the incident, the dead Hindus were ruthlessly loaded in trucks and transported in the dark of night to the ridge area outside Delhi. Without even checking that some of them may be alive, they were burnt.

Events

On the morning of 7 November, a few hundred thousand people, predominantly from the Bharatiya Jan Sangh, Hindu Mahasabha, and Arya Samaj, had assembled from far-off places at an open space near the Parliamentary Complex. A vast majority of them were Sadhus. Swami Rameshwaranand, a Jan Sangh legislator who’d been expelled for 10 days rose to the podium and urged the protestors to “to teach a lesson” by forcing the Parliament to close down. The mob broke barricades, police responded with tear gas and cane clubs. Then at around 1:30 pm, the police engaged in rifle fire and mounted a charge with lead-tipped clubs. Then the aforementioned killing and burning happened.

Aftermath

A curfew was imposed; army deployed, unlawful assembly banned. About 1,500 demonstrators, including over 500 ascetics and prominent leaders of Hindu Nationalist parties and SGMS, were arrested. Beginning on 17 November, Sadhus started courting arrest, as planned. On the 20th, Prabhudutt Brahmachari and the Shankaracharya of Puri began hunger strikes; others soon followed.

Indira used this time to set up a joint parliamentary committee (deliberately filled with trusted secularists, federalists and people with an economic interest in the beef trade) - their agenda was to examine the ‘feasibility’ of a ‘total ban on the slaughter of the cow and its progeny’ and deliver a recommendation within a time frame of six months. In the meantime, Gandhi once again recommended on 5 January 1967 that states enact their own bans on cow slaughter. The next Home Minister (from 14 November 1966 to 27 June 1970) and a puppet of Indira Gandhi, Yashwantrao Balwantrao Chavan went to the fasting saints and promised to bring the ‘anti-slaughter bill’ in the next session of parliament and the saints ended their fasting. But, the Congress government never kept their promise.

Overall, the agitation propelled the Hindu Right into the foreground of national politics for the first time. The episode also played a significant role in Gandhi’s choosing to shift away from the staunch secular ideals displayed by her father, embracing the Hindu way of life.

राजपुर्यां हिन्दुकहत्या #७६

Event occured on 1947-11-07 (gregorian).

On this day, began the large scale massacre of over 30k Hindu and sikhs at rAjauri in jammu and kAshmIr state.

On 12 November 1947, there were coordinated killings of young Hindu and Sikh males ordered by Sakhi Diler and Colonel Rehmat Ullah Khan - 3k to 7k killed on that day. Later mass riots by muslim mobs started. Some fled to other places - like mIrpur (where another massacre was awaiting them). By the time Indian army recaptured Rajauri on 12 April 1948, most inhabitants were dead - though 1.5k refugees who’d fled to the hills returned.

चत्ति नायऩ्मार् (४५) गुरुपूजै

Observed on Pūrvaphalgunī nakshatra of Tulā (sidereal solar) month (Prātaḥ/paraviddha).

Between the 6th and 9th centuries, in South India, there existed 63 ardent devotees of Lord Shiva, collectively known as the Nayanmars. These devout individuals, hailing from various walks of life including potters, fishermen, farmers, merchants, priests, hunters, and washermen, created devotional songs still sung by followers around the globe. Among these Nayanmars, Appar, Sambandar, and Sundarar, known for their Thevaram hymns, along with Manikkavasagar, are distinguished as the Samayacharyas or the ‘The Four’ (ta:nālvar) revered teachers of the faith. They were instrumental in promoting the Shaiva Siddhanta philosophy and culture, effectively challenging the spread of Jainism and Buddhism. Their teachings centered around the concept that Shiva embodies love, and that embracing love for all beings and existence is essential in connecting with Shiva, the Supreme Being.

Satti Nayanmar, born into a Vellala family, hailed from Varinjiyur in the Chola kingdom. He was deeply devoted to Lord Shiva and held great respect for the Lord’s devotees. Satti Nayanmar was so committed to honoring these devotees that he could not bear to hear any slander against them. In his zeal to protect their dignity, he would go to the extreme measure of cutting out the tongue of anyone who spoke ill of Lord Shiva’s devotees. Recognizing the purity and intensity of Satti Nayanmar’s devotion, Lord Shiva bestowed his divine grace upon him.

ओबव्व-जयन्ती #२

Event occured on 2021-11-11 (gregorian).

On this day, Karnataka government began celebrating Obavva jayantI to honor the deeds of onake obavva of chitradurga.

Events

Onake Obavva, the wife of a common soldier, while fetching water during one of the several sieges of the fort, heard the muffled sound of enemy soldiers attempting to enter the fort walls through a small crevice that was just big enough for one person at a time to crawl through. Hiding silently next to the crevice with an onake, or pestle, she killed each soldier as his head appeared in the opening and dragged his body inside the wall. By the time her husband and others came to her aid, many dead soldiers lay around her. Onake Obavva’s courage and quick thinking single-handedly saved the fort that day.

Aftermath

Chitradurga anyway fell to Hyder Ali later. But Obavva was never forgotten.

Her bravery is commemorated in Chitradurga by the name of Onake Obavva Stadium and by an extraordinary new sculpture near the DC Office. In 2021, Karnataka government started celebrating Obavva jayantI on Nov 11 (one day after the purported, but mistaken, Tipu birth day as per Julian calendar).

माधव-रावस्यात्मसमर्पणम् #२६१

Event occured on 1762-11-12 (gregorian).

On this day, to keep marATha unity and strength in the face of an ambitious nizAm, mAdhav rAv surrendered to his stupidly greedy uncle raghunAth rAv. The contrast between the two - whether in terms of ethics, capability or longevity is huge.

Context: He decided to wage a war against his uncle Raghunathrao on November 7, 1762. However, Madhavrao didn’t wish to battle against his own uncle and thus, proposed for a treaty. Raghunathrao agreed to sign the treaty with Madhavrao and asked him to move back to a non-attacking position. Madhavrao did so. However, Raghunathrao deceived Madhavrao. When the Maratha camp under Madhavrao was relaxed and unsuspecting of a battle, they were caught unawared as Raghunathrao attacked treacherously. Thus, Madhavrao was defeated in the Battle of Alegaon and on November 12, 1762 surrendered himself to Raghunathrao near Alegaon. After the surrender, Raghunathrao decided to control all the major decisions under the assistance of Sakharam Bapu. He also decided to befriend Nizam, but this proved to be a wrong masterplan as the Nizam slowly started infiltrating the zones of Maratha Empire. As time slipped by, Madhavrao pointed out the gravity of the situation to his uncle. Eventually on March 7, 1763 the Peshwas, once again under Madhavrao’s leadership, decided to attack Aurangabad to crush Nizam.

शुक्रेश्वर-पर्वत-जयः #३५६

Event occured on 1667-11-12 (gregorian). Julian date was converted to Gregorian in this reckoning.

Ahom ruler Chakradhvaja Singha (Supangmung, 1663-1670) recaptures Itakhuli (shukreshvara hill) and some other guvahATi garrissons from Mogol governor Sayed Firoj Khan. The enemy was chased down to the mouth of the Manaha river, the old boundary between Assam and Mughal India (prior to Mir Jumla’s campaign). On receiving the news of victory the king cried out-“It is now that I can eat my morsel of food with ease and pleasure”.

Background: Aurangzeb, after ascending on the throne of Delhi, ordered Mir Jumla to invade Cooch Behar and Assam and re-establish Mughal prestige in eastern India. The western Ahom kingdom was then rife with envy and resentment. So, in 1662 he had succeeded. King Jayadhvaja retreated to the hills, abandoning much treasure, later sent his daughter and niece to mogol harem. Chakradhwaj Singha, who succeeded him, was against any payment at all on principle. He shouted out from his throne: – “Death is preferable to a life of subordination to foreigners”. In 1665 the king summoned an assembly of his ministers and nobles and ordered them to adopt measures for expelling the Mughals from western Assam, adding—“My ancestors were never subordinate to any other people; and I for myself cannot remain under the vassalage of any foreign power. I am a descendant of the Heavenly King and how can I pay tribute to the wretched foreigners.”

तिरुवनन्तपुर-देवायतन-प्रवेश-घोषणा #८८

Event occured on 1935-11-12 (gregorian).

On this day, Maharaja Chithira Thirunal Balarama Varma of Travancore issued the Temple Entry Proclamation.

Context

Kerala is a rare state where caste discrimination actually led to conversion to abrahamist faiths because converts got more rights than low jAti-s. In other states, the primary factor in conversion was and remains selectively targetted allurements, supposed miracles and threats.

Vaikom Satyagraha protests sought equal rights of access in areas previously restricted to members of upper castes. The protests expanded to become a movement seeking rights of access to the interior of the temples themselves. Regent Maharani Sethu Lakshmi Bayi yielded partly - deferring to her minor nephew (who supposedly assured gAndhI on his own will).

Implementation

Chithira Thirunal signed the Proclamation on the eve of his 24th birthday in 1936. He was ably supported by his divAn Sachivottama Sir Chetput Pattabhiraman Ramaswami Iyer, who clarified that the decision was a result of his own free will and not the result of protests or advice; and carefully managed its acceptance and implementation.

Aftermath

The Travancore Temple Entry Proclamation did not have a serious influence in Cochin or British Malabar as the Maharajah of Cochin and the Zamorin were staunch opponents of temple entry for dalits. Even when universal temple entry was granted in 1947 the Cochin maharajah made an exemption in the bill so as to keep his family temple, “Sree Poornathrayeesha”, out of the purview of temple entry.

आश्वयुज-अमावास्या (अलभ्यम्–विशाखा, पुष्कला)

amāvāsyā of āśvayuja month.

Details

It is said in Vishnupuranam that when Amavasya overlaps with one of nine nakshatras—Anuradha, Vishakha, Swati, Pushya, Ardra, Punarvasu, Shravishtha, Purvaproshthapada, or Shatabhishak—it is sacred even for Devas. For instance, Shraaddha done on an Amavasya joined with Anuradha, Vishakha, Swati keeps the pitrs satisfied for eight years. Likewise, on Pushya, Ardra and Punarvasu, the pitrs satisfied for twelve years.

विष्णुपुराणे—
अमावास्या यदा मैत्रविशाखास्वातियोगिनी।
श्राद्धे पितृगणस्तृप्तिमवाप्नोत्यष्टवार्षिकीम्॥
अमावास्या यदा पुष्ये रौद्रेऽथः पुनर्वसौ।
द्वादशाब्दं तदा तृप्तिं प्रयान्ति पितरोऽर्चिताः॥
वासवाजैकपादृक्षे पितॄणां तृप्तिमिच्छताम्।
वारुणे चाप्यमावास्या देवानामपि दुर्लभा।
नवस्वृक्षेष्वमावास्या यदैतेष्ववनीपते॥

Details

It is said in the Smrtis, that if Amavasya falls on a Monday, Tuesday or Thursday, such a tithi is given the appellation puṣkalā and is as sacred as a solar eclipse.

स्मृत्यन्तरे—
अमा सोमेन भौमेन गुरुणा वा युता यदि।

पूचलार् नायऩ्मार् (५८) गुरुपूजै

Observed on Anūrādhā nakshatra of Tulā (sidereal solar) month (Prātaḥ/paraviddha).

Between the 6th and 9th centuries, in South India, there existed 63 ardent devotees of Lord Shiva, collectively known as the Nayanmars. These devout individuals, hailing from various walks of life including potters, fishermen, farmers, merchants, priests, hunters, and washermen, created devotional songs still sung by followers around the globe. Among these Nayanmars, Appar, Sambandar, and Sundarar, known for their Thevaram hymns, along with Manikkavasagar, are distinguished as the Samayacharyas or the ‘The Four’ (ta:nālvar) revered teachers of the faith. They were instrumental in promoting the Shaiva Siddhanta philosophy and culture, effectively challenging the spread of Jainism and Buddhism. Their teachings centered around the concept that Shiva embodies love, and that embracing love for all beings and existence is essential in connecting with Shiva, the Supreme Being.

Pusalar Nayanmar, named thus because he was always smeared with bhasma (ta:pūchu meaning apply/smear), was a Brahmana from Tiru Ninravur in Thondai Mandalam, and a firm believer in the power of mental worship of Lord Shiva, which he considered superior to external rituals. Despite his desire to build a physical temple for Lord Shiva, his lack of funds led him to construct a temple in his mind, meticulously planning each detail and even setting an auspicious date for the deity’s installation.

Coincidentally, a Kadava king, also a devotee of Lord Shiva, had constructed an actual temple in Kanchipuram — the Kailasanathar temple (https://maps.app.goo.gl/s8atsoeX7L5hNNf79) — and planned the deity’s installation on the same date as Pusalar’s mental ceremony. In a dream, Lord Shiva instructed the king to postpone his temple’s ceremony as He was to be present in Pusalar’s temple at Tiru Ninravur. Intrigued and eager to witness this exceptional temple, the king travelled to Tiru Ninravur but found no physical structure. Upon meeting Pusalar, the king learned that the temple existed only in Pusalar’s mind! Not only that, he was able to witness the Kumbhabhisheka activities including Veda parayanam and other ceremonial activities. Deeply moved by Pusalar’s profound devotion, the king revered him. Pusalar, feeling immensely blessed by Lord Shiva’s acknowledgment of his mental temple, continued his worship, eventually attaining divine union with the Lord. The king then also materialized the temple that Pusalar had built in his heart before having the temple built by himself duly consecrated! He called the deity ‘Hridayaleshwarar’ (https://maps.app.goo.gl/tnpnMUPwDUnKCfAa9), the one who abides in the heart.

Historically, Pusalar is dated to the 8th century CE, contemporary to King Rajasimha (Narasimhavarman II), who reigned from 700 to 728 CE. Rajasimha’s greatest temple, the Kailasanathar temple in Kanchipuram, identified as the king’s temple from the tale, is linked to Pusalar through inscriptions. These inscriptions, especially a verse mentioning a “heavenly voice without body”, connect to the story of Pusalar and Lord Shiva’s voice, positioning Pusalar as a historical figure of that era.

  • यम/भ्रातृ-द्वितीया, हेमचन्द्रविक्रमादित्यो हतः #४९७
हेमचन्द्रविक्रमादित्यो हतः #४९७

Event occured on 1526-11-15 (gregorian). Julian date was converted to Gregorian in this reckoning.

On this day, Hemachandra vikramAditya, aka Hemu, was vanquished by mogols invading under akbar and his regent bairAm khAn (though they stayed in the rear - 8 miles away). This king, also known as Vikramaditya had won 22 battles against the Afghan rebels from 1553–1556 from Punjab to Bengal, and had his coronation at Purana Quila in Delhi on 7 October 1556 and had established ‘Hindu Raj’ in North India, before the 2nd battle of Panipat.

Events

Hemu was aided by afghAn-s who had been earlier deposed by bAbur’s invasion. Hemu was atop an elephant named hawAi. His left was led by his sister’s son, Ramya, and the right by Shadi Khan Kakkar.

Mogol army was led by Ali Quli Khan Shaibani in the center, Sikandar Khan Uzbak on the right and Abdulla Khan Uzbak towards the left. Vanguard led by Husain Quli Beg and Shah Quli Mahram.

Both the wings of the Mughal army had been driven back and Hemu moved his contingent of war elephants and cavalry forward to crush their centre. Hemu was on the cusp of victory when he was wounded in the eye by a Mughal arrow and collapsed unconscious. This triggered a panic in his army which broke formation and fled.

Aftermath

The elephant carrying the wounded Hemu was captured and led to the Mughal camp. Bairam Khan asked the 13-year-old Akbar to behead Hemu, but he refused to take the sword to a dying man. Akbar was persuaded to touch Hemu’s head with his sword after which Bairam Khan executed him. Hemu’s head was sent to Kabul while his body was gibbeted on a gate in Delhi. A minaret was subsequently constructed of the heads of the other dead.

Hemu’s family who lived in Machari (near Alwar) was captured by Pir Muhammad. Pir Muhammad offered to spare the life of Hemu’s elderly father if he converted to Islam. When the old man refused, he was executed. Hemu’s Smadhi Sthal, constructed during Akbar’s reign by supporters, supposedly on the spot where he died, is now occupied by migrant muslims and converted to a dargAh.

Aiyadigal Kadavarkon Nayanmar was a Pallava king who reigned over Kanchi and played a significant role in promoting Shaivism among his people. Eventually, he became disillusioned with the material world and chose to renounce his worldly duties. After ensuring his son succeeded him on the throne, Aiyadigal Kadavarkon Nayanmar embarked on an extensive pilgrimage. During his travels, he visited numerous shrines, expressing his devotion by singing hymns in praise of Lord Shiva. His deep devotion and spiritual dedication pleased Lord Shiva, who blessed him with His darshan.

When the transit of the Sun (saṅkrānti) happens in the first half of the day (pūrvāhṇa) or after midnight of the previous day, the first half of the day is a puṇyakāla for various observances. In addition to 16 ghatikas on either side of the transition, and specific puṇyakālas like ṣaḍaśīti, viṣṇupadī etc., this is also useful, especially in cases where the other puṇyakālas are inconvenient for appropriate performance of rituals such as snāna, dāna, tarpaṇa, etc.

माधव-राव-क्षयः #२५१

Event occured on 1772-11-18 (gregorian).

The young but bold and astute visionary, peshvA mAdhava rAv, died of tuberculosis at his favourite Ganesha Chintamani Temple, Theur. Aged 28. Before he died, he had succeeded in reuniting the confrederacy. Grant Duff - “And the plains of Panipat were not more fatal to the Maratha Empire than the early end of this excellent prince…”

Context: Madhavrao was infected with intestinal tuberculosis in May 1770. This disease is characterised by unbearable abdominal pain. Pain was such, that during his last days Madhavrao once asked for a dagger from his uncle to cut his belly so that he might escape from the terrible suffering! Madhavrao’s last days were unfortunately very painful.

He died on 18 November 1772 at 11 o' clock in the morning, with the word ‘Gajanan’ on his lips. Thousands of citizens visited the site and paid their last respects. Madhavrao was cremated on the banks of the river which was about half a mile from the temple. A small memorial carved out of stone rests today at that place as a memorial. His wife Ramabai chose to commit sati with his body at the time of cremation, even though Brahmin widows were not required to follow the ritual.

रेज़ाङ्ग-ला-युद्धम् #६१

Event occured on 1962-11-18 (gregorian).

On this day, during the Sino-Indian War in 1962, Charlie ‘C’ company of 13 Kumaon, consisting of 124 Ahirs, heroically stopped Chinese at Rezang La. 114 out of about 120 Indians died killing about 1k Chinese soldiers.

The fight

The company was led by Major Shaitan Singh, who won a posthumous Param Vir Chakra for his actions. From the Indian point of view, Rezang La had the drawback that an intervening feature blocked artillery operation, so that the Indian infantry had to do without artillery cover.

When Rezang La was later revisited dead jawans were found in the trenches still holding on to their weapons… every single man of this company was found dead in his trench with several bullets or splinter wounds. The 2-inch mortar man died with a bomb still in his hand. The medical orderly had a syringe and bandage in his hands when the Chinese bullet hit him… Of the thousand mortar bombs with the defenders, all but seven had been fired and the rest were ready to be fired when the (mortar) section was overrun.

Aftermath

The inscription on the War Memorial at Chushul, Ladakh raised by the Indian Army in memory of the soldiers who died in the Battle of Rezang La, reads as below:

How can a man die better,
Than facing fearful odds,
For the ashes of his fathers,
And temples of his gods.

स्कन्दषष्ठी-व्रतम्

One of the most important vratams, alongside Krishnajanmashtami, Shivaratri etc. Must observe fast. Offer Arghyam facing South, using Curd, Akshata, Water and Flowers (dadhnākṣatōdakaiḥ puṣpaiḥ) chanting the shloka mentioned. Three Vratas are very special for Subrahmanya—the bhr̥guvāra-subrahmaṇya-vratam in tulāmāsa, the regular kr̥ttikā vratam, and this most special skandaṣaṣṭhivratam.

तैमूरेण भट्नेर-ग्रहणम् #६२५

Event occured on 1398-11-18 (gregorian). Julian date was converted to Gregorian in this reckoning.

On this day, Taimur captured Bhatnair fort from Rai Dalachandra.

Events (from MT)

The fort of Bhatnair stood on this road and offered formidable defense against the invader. Timur promptly besieged the fort after sweeping through the countryside and forced Rai Dalachandra into the defensive. On 10th November 1398, he suddenly assaulted fort with giant fort-breaking ballistas that hurled huge rocks over a ton on the fort walls. Prince Shah Rukh, Mazid al Baghdadi and Jahan Maliq, Timur’s fierce generals, led the assault on the Hindus. The Hindus retaliated with a heavy rain of fireworks from their ramparts, but the Timurids pushed on building mines to break the ramparts.

Finally, the fort ramparts were demolished and the Timurid army rushed into the fort capturing Dalachandra and killing other defenders after much desperate fighting at close quarters.

Other sources claim: “Dulachand initially opposed Timur but when hard-pressed he considered surrender. He was locked outside the walls of Bhatner by his brother and was later killed by Timur. The garrison of Bhatner then fought and were slaughtered to the last man. Bhatner was looted and burned to the ground.”

Context

Timur was on his way to wrest Delhi and India from the Tughlaqs, who had weakened.

भानुसप्तमी

saptamī tithi on a Sunday is as sacred as a solar eclipse. Particularly good for worshipping Surya.

अमावस्या तु सोमेन सप्तमी भानुना सह।

द्विपुष्कर-योगः
  • 22:46→05:22

When a tripādanakṣatra is conjoined with a bhadrā tithi i.e. dvitīyā, saptamī or dvādaśī, and this falls on a Tuesday, Sunday or Saturday, it is known as a tripuṣkara-yōgaḥ. The dvipuṣkara occurs when the bhadrā tithis coincide with the same days as above, but with the dvipāda nakṣatras, which are mr̥gaśīrṣa, chitrā and dhaniṣṭhā. Like the tripuṣkara which gives a three-fold multiplier for śubha and aśubha, the dvipuṣkara has a two-fold effect.

त्रिपुष्कराख्योऽदितिवह्निविश्वद्वीशाजपादर्यमभेषु योगः।

फोण्ड-दुर्ग-रक्षणम् #३४०

Event occured on 1683-11-19 (gregorian). Julian date was converted to Gregorian in this reckoning.

Maratha reinforcements, which included Sambhaji himself, arrived from Rajapur to rescue the fort with 800 cavalry and 2,000 infantry.

Portuguese viceroy thought that Sambhaji will attack him from the rear and cut his line of communication with Goa. On 10 November, the viceroy called for a general retreat towards the Durbhat port. The Marathas routed the retreating Portuguese by attacking them from a hill near creek. The viceroy was wounded during this skirmish. On 12 November most of the Portuguese army reached Goa.

Context: During the marATha-portuguese war under sambaji, the Portuguese viceroy marched towards the Fortress of Ponda, with 3,700 soldiers. They crossed the river and reached the villages west of Ponda on 7th November. Veteran Maratha general Yesaji Kank and his son Krishnaji were stationed at Ponda with a force of 600 soldiers. The Marathas resisted the initial Portuguese infantry charges. In one of these skirmishes Krishnaji Kank was wounded heavily, he died a few days later. However The Portuguese heavy bombardment managed to break through the walls of the fort, severely damaging it.

तराइन-युद्धे पृथ्वीराज-जयः #८३२

Event occured on 1191-11-20 (gregorian). Julian date was converted to Gregorian in this reckoning.

chAhamAna-pRthvIrAja (Prithiviraj Chauhan) defeated the Ghurid king Mu’izz ad-Din Muhammad Ghori. Minhaj states that Mu’izz ad-Din, who was riding a horse, attacked Govind Rai with a lance, hitting his mouth and breaking two of his teeth. Govind Rai retaliated with a javelin, severely wounding Mu’izz ad-Din’s upper arm. According to Minhaj, Mu’izz ad-Din would have died or been captured, had a young soldier not led his horse to safety. ‘The Sultan turned his charger’s head round and receded, and from the agony of the wound he was unable to continue on horseback any longer. Defeat befell the army of Islām so that it was irretrievably routed.’ - Minhaj in Tabaqat-i Nasiri.

Prithviraj later recaptured Tabarhindah fort, but did not pursue the enemy further.

Context: Sometime before 1191, Mu’izz ad-Din’s army captured the Tabarhindah fort (probably present-day Bathinda).

This day marks the beginning of a three-day festival culminating in Tulasi Vivaha. One should observe the Tulasī marriage festival according to the specific directives of their Vedic tradition. There is no doubt that participating in this event is as meritorious as performing a kanyādānam. On the bright fortnight’s ninth day of Kārttika month, one should craft a golden pratimā of Hari and Tulasī, and worship it. This Vrata should be observed for three days, encompassing the rites of marriage as prescribed. These three days must include the Navamī day. If Navamī coincides with the previous Aṣṭamī day, the observance extends to midday. Furthermore, planting Dhātrī and Aśvattha trees together and celebrating this festival ensures enduring merits through hundres of crores of Kalpas!

भीष्म-पञ्चक-व्रत-आरम्भः

Observed on Śukla-Ēkādaśī tithi of Kārttikaḥ (lunar) month (Sūryōdayaḥ/puurvaviddha).

Bhishma, lying on śaratalpa performed upadesha to Yudhisthira and other Pandavas for these five days. On the eleventh day in the month of Kārttika, Bhisma requested for water, and his thirst was quenched by Arjun, who brought the water of Gaṅgā by an arrow. Hence, Lord Krishna blessed Bhisma that all the people should offer libations to Bhishma and propitiate him beginning from Ekadashi and ending on the full-moon day. The Skanda Purana describes this highly meritorious ritual, Bhīṣmapañcaka Vrata, performed over five days during the bright half of the month of Kārttika. It includes specific practices like offering libations and Arghya to Bhīṣma. This Vrata is noted for its difficulty; it includes the worship of Lord Hari, and the use of specific offerings like cowdung, honey, milk, and ghee for purification rituals. The observance of this Vrata brings immense spiritual benefits, including the eradication of sins and contentment for numerous births.

शिवराजः सप्तकोटेश्वर-मन्दिरनिर्माणम् आरभते #३५६

Event occured on 1667-11-23 (gregorian). Julian date was converted to Gregorian in this reckoning.

On 13th November 1668 (in the same month as the raid on bArdesh, Goa), Shivaji commenced the construction of the temple of Shri Saptakoteshvara at Narwe.

Formerly the temple of Shri Saptakoteshvara, the family deity of the Kadamba dynasty that ruled over Goa in the 12th century, was in the village named Narwe (Naroa) in Divadi, a tiny coastal island. It was destroyed by the Muslims and the stone image of the deity was hidden by the devotees in the embankment of a field.

When Goa came under the sway of Vijayanagar, Madhava, a minister of that Empire, built a new magnificent temple at the same place and reestablished the deity. This, too, was destroyed in 1540 – this time by the Portuguese - along with many other temples. They built a chapel dedicated to Nossa Senhora Candelaria in its place.

Some remains of the ancient temple could still be noticed in the chapel. The image of the deity was smuggled out of Goa and a temple was built in another village within Adilshahi territory also named Narwe (Naroa) in the district of Dicholi, opposite the one in Divadi. This temple, it seems, was in a very dilapidated condition.

Shivaji was now building a new one at that site which he perhaps intended would serve as a beacon of hope for his Hindu brethren in Goa. This was all that he could do for them at the moment.

  • →15:58

When Revati nakshatra falls on a Friday, it is a special yōgaḥ. When Rohini nakshatra falls on a Saturday, it is a special yōgaḥ. In the cyclic rotation of time, along with the bad combinations of grahas and nakshatras that indicate the probability of upcoming difficulties, good combinations that grant benefits in multiples also arise. Among such good combinations are the Amrita Siddhi yogas of certain weekdays and nakshatras. They are Sunday-Hasta, Monday-Mrigashirsha, Tuesday-Ashvini, Wednesday-Anuradha, Thursday-Pushya, Friday-Revati, Saturday-Rohini. Good deeds performed on such yogas become especially strong in protecting and nourishing us. For instance, in Devi Atharvashirsha, it is said bhaumāśvinyāṁ mahādevī-sannidhau japtvā mahāmr̥tyuṁ tarati, that is, one can cross even mahāmr̥tyu by doing parayanam when Tuesday and Ashvini join.

मीरपुरे हिन्दुकहत्या #७६

Event occured on 1947-11-25 (gregorian).

On this day, began the large scale massacre of over 20k Hindu and sikhs at mIrpur in pAkistAn occupied kAshmIr.

In the morning, jihAdi-s entered mIrpur city. Rioting began. Of the minority population, only about 2,500 Hindus or Sikhs escaped through the border to Jammu and Kashmir along with the State troops. The jihAdi-s killed every hindu and sikh - shooting, hacking, even slitting throats while chanting kAlima-s (eg. at the gurdwara at Ali Baig which had been turned into a prison camp). Around 5k women were raped and abducted - though many committed mass suicide to escape that fate.

Aftermath

In March 1948, the ICRC rescued 1,600 of the survivors from Ali Baig. By 1951, only 790 non-Muslims remained in areas that came to comprise Azad Kashmir; down from a previous population of 114,000 which used to live there. Governments of sheikh abdullah and successors did not give them resident status.

ओम्ब्ल-तुकाराम-वीरगतिः #१५

Event occured on 2008-11-26 (gregorian).

tukArAm Omble died stopping jihAdi terrorist Ajmal Kasab in Mumbai on this day.

Background and events

Omble joined the police as a constable in 1991 after retiring from the Indian Army’s Signal Corps as a naik. He was an ASI with the Mumbai Police. On 26/11 he and his team were guarding one of the checkposts when they were approached by two terrorists in a hijacked car. After an initial shootout, one of the terrorists died inside the car, while the other, Ajmal Kasab got out of the car and lay down to pretend surrender. As unarmed Omble approached him, Kasab got up and tried to open fire. Omble stood in front of him and held on to the barrel of Kasab’s rifle, thus preventing the bullets from hitting anyone else but him. The rest of the team managed to overpower and apprehend Kasab. Omble had taken over 40 bullets from an Ak-47 at point blank range and did not survive.

####### Other heroes of the day

  • Mukesh Jadhav : A 23 year old Home Guard earning mere ₹90 per day. He was posted at CST. When Kasab & gang came he guided many passengers to safety. In saving one passenger he face to face with one terrorist & lost his life.
  • Jillu Yadav - He was a constable of RPF & he took Kasab & Ismail Khan head on. He was armed with outdated .303 rifle & terrorists had 3 AK47 & grenades. He fought bravely & even threw chairs when his rifle jammed to not allow terrorist to cross over to other platform.
  • Vishnu Zende - He was announcer at CST when carnage started. He was fired upon but he kept announcing & informed passenger about terrorist presence. Due to his announcements many lives were saved.
  • Vijay Surve - He is a Shivsainik & when 26/11 started he along with few of his Shiv Sena workers shifted people around Nariman House to safer locations.
  • Captain Tamil Selvan - He was parcel contractor & suddenly when injured people came at his counter he realised that there was attack at CST. He & his two staff members evacuated many & saved lives of 36 injured.
  • Vijay Khandekar - He was wireless operator & he was on leave when event occurred. He immediately proceeded to Cama Hospital & he was martyred when grenade was thrown at police party.
  • Inspector Sanjay Govilkar - He was part of the police team that captured Ajmal Kasab alive. When he realised on scene that Kasab has attacked Omble he used his lathi to disarm Kasab.
  • Sub-Inspector Bhaskar Kadam - He was the one to intercept Skoda of terrorist & he neutralised Ismail Khan with six shots fired from his gun.
  • Inspector Deepak Dhole - He managed to keep the terrorists at Taj Hotel confined to top floor for four hours & he responded whenever they tried to flee to other location. He suffered burn injuries. He never got any reward or promotion despite promise from then HM RR Patil.
  • Inspector Nagappa Mahale - He was the one who coordinated the operation at Chowpatty which led to arrest of Kasab yet he never received any commendation or reward.
  • Inspector Kishor Shinde - When a bag full of RDX was found at Oberoi Trident he quickly took it & placed it at an isolated place. It exploded few minutes later. If not for him many lives would have been lost that day.
  • Captain Amitendra Singh - This 25 year old braveheart from NSG suffered serious injuries to his eyes during raid at Oberoi Hotel. He lost his left eye permanently & returned to duty on a desk job. He was awarded with Shaurya Chakra.
  • Sub-Inspector Sudam Pandarkar - He was in ladies compartment for duty when he heard gunshots. He fired 3 shots from his .303 rifle & in return fire from terrorists he was wounded in the chest.

भीष्म-पञ्चक-व्रत-समापनम्

Observed on Paurṇamāsī tithi of Kārttikaḥ (lunar) month (Sūryōdayaḥ/puurvaviddha).

Bhishma, lying on śaratalpa performed upadesha to Yudhisthira and other Pandavas for these five days. On the eleventh day in the month of Kārttika, Bhisma requested for water, and his thirst was quenched by Arjun, who brought the water of Gaṅgā by an arrow. Hence, Lord Krishna blessed Bhisma that all the people should offer libations to Bhishma and propitiate him beginning from Ekadashi and ending on the full-moon day. The Skanda Purana describes this highly meritorious ritual, Bhīṣmapañcaka Vrata, performed over five days during the bright half of the month of Kārttika. It includes specific practices like offering libations and Arghya to Bhīṣma. This Vrata is noted for its difficulty; it includes the worship of Lord Hari, and the use of specific offerings like cowdung, honey, milk, and ghee for purification rituals. The observance of this Vrata brings immense spiritual benefits, including the eradication of sins and contentment for numerous births.

कणम्पुल्ल नायऩ्मार् (४७) गुरुपूजै

Observed on Kr̥ttikā nakshatra of Vr̥ścikaḥ (sidereal solar) month (Prātaḥ/paraviddha).

Between the 6th and 9th centuries, in South India, there existed 63 ardent devotees of Lord Shiva, collectively known as the Nayanmars. These devout individuals, hailing from various walks of life including potters, fishermen, farmers, merchants, priests, hunters, and washermen, created devotional songs still sung by followers around the globe. Among these Nayanmars, Appar, Sambandar, and Sundarar, known for their Thevaram hymns, along with Manikkavasagar, are distinguished as the Samayacharyas or the ‘The Four’ (ta:nālvar) revered teachers of the faith. They were instrumental in promoting the Shaiva Siddhanta philosophy and culture, effectively challenging the spread of Jainism and Buddhism. Their teachings centered around the concept that Shiva embodies love, and that embracing love for all beings and existence is essential in connecting with Shiva, the Supreme Being.

Kanampulla Nayanmar, a wealthy resident of Irukkuvelur, was renowned for his profound devotion to Lord Shiva. Committed to using his wealth solely for divine service, he devoted himself to lighting lamps in Shiva shrines and singing praises of the Lord. To demonstrate the depth of his devotion, Lord Shiva tested him by taking away his wealth. Undeterred, Kanampulla Nayanmar moved to Chidambaram and continued his services by selling his possessions to buy ghee for the lamps. Eventually, he exhausted all his resources and resorted to selling grass, specifically Kanampul, which earned him the name Kanampulla Nayanmar. One day, when he couldn’t sell any grass, he remained steadfast in his duty to light the temple lamp. With no other resources left, he ingeniously used the grass as a wick to keep the lamp burning. Realizing that the grass was insufficient, he moved his head closer to the lamp, using his own hair as a wick to keep the flame burning. This ultimate act of devotion moved Lord Shiva, who appeared before Kanampulla Nayanmar and bestowed his blessings upon him.

द्विपुष्कर-योगः
  • 14:05→06:17

When a tripādanakṣatra is conjoined with a bhadrā tithi i.e. dvitīyā, saptamī or dvādaśī, and this falls on a Tuesday, Sunday or Saturday, it is known as a tripuṣkara-yōgaḥ. The dvipuṣkara occurs when the bhadrā tithis coincide with the same days as above, but with the dvipāda nakṣatras, which are mr̥gaśīrṣa, chitrā and dhaniṣṭhā. Like the tripuṣkara which gives a three-fold multiplier for śubha and aśubha, the dvipuṣkara has a two-fold effect.

त्रिपुष्कराख्योऽदितिवह्निविश्वद्वीशाजपादर्यमभेषु योगः।

काञ्ची ९ जगद्गुरु श्री-कृपाशङ्करेन्द्र सरस्वती आराधना #१९५५

Observed on Kr̥ṣṇa-Tr̥tīyā tithi of Kārttikaḥ (lunar) month (Aparāhṇaḥ/vyaapti). The event occurred in 3170 (Kali era).

Kṛpāśaṅkara, son of Ātmasomayāji in Andhra in the lineage of Garga, with the name Gaṅgayya before initiation established six religions of worship in worshipping Śiva, Hari, Skanda and others away from Tantrik practices and establishing everywhere the non-dualism enunciated in the Vedas, drove away the notion of dualism. Kṛpāśaṅkara established Śrī Viśvarūpa at Śṛṅgeri under the directions of Śrī Kaivalya Munīndra and formulated precepts; having adorned Ācārya Pīṭha for forty-one years, he departed in the direction of Kubera, viz. North and attained siddhi at Vindhyas. The mighty omniscient (Kṛpāśaṅkara), the One without a second, attained the supreme non-dual state of the Ultimate known as parāpara which is full of Supreme Bliss on the third day of the dark fortnight in the month of Kārtika in the year Vibhava.

शिवराजो बारादेशं लुण्ठति #३५६

Event occured on 1667-11-29 (gregorian). Julian date was converted to Gregorian in this reckoning.

shivAjI invaded bArdesh with 5k foot and 1k horse, plundered and withdrew after 3 days. 2 Portuguese priests were killed. An English account from 10 days later says that the cause was irritation at roman catholic fanaticism (which was then rescinded by the Portuguese viceroy) - but this is not mentioned in Portuguese or Dutch letters and the later agreement, which say that the objective was to capture the desai-s from there who were using it as a base for their looting operations with Portuguese support.

Event occured on 1001-12-03 (gregorian). Julian date was converted to Gregorian in this reckoning.

Army of Sultan Mahmud bin Sebuktigin (Mahmud of Ghazni) defeated the Hindu Shahi army of Jayapala, near Peshawar. Jayapala was defeated, bound and paraded, before being released for ransom (sent by his son AnandapAla). He later immolated himself in a funeral pyre. mahmUd’s secretary Al-Utbi in Tarikh Yamini: “The friends of God defeated their obstinate opponents, and quickly put them to a complete rout. Noon had not arrived when the Musulmans had wreaked their vengeance on the infidel enemies of God, killing 15,000 of them, spreading them like a carpet over the ground, and making them food for beasts and birds of prey.”

Context: Alp Tigin, a Turkik slave soldier of Khorasan had seized garjanapura (ghazna) and started a dynasty (962). After his son died, slave soldiers Bilge Tegin and Böri tigin succeeded. Finally, his slave Sebuk Tigin (who’d married his daughter) succeeded (977), and captured kAndahAr (Alexandria). He defeated JayapAla twice, and annexed further territory. His son mahmUd (a devout muslim who thought of himself as “the Shadow of the God on Earth”) succeeded him in 997. Following recognition by Abbasid caliphate in 999, he pledged a jihad and a raid on India every year.

आऱुमुख-नावलर्-गुरुपूजै #१४५

Observed on Maghā nakshatra of Vr̥ścikaḥ (sidereal solar) month (Prātaḥ/paraviddha). The event occurred in 1879 (Gregorian era).

Event

On 5 December, at his residence, माहेश्वर-s gathered to recite the द्राविड-स्तोत्र around him, knowing that the hour of his शिवपदप्राप्ति was fast approaching. Sporting रुद्राक्ष-s all over his person, sipping गङ्गाजल and having applied the sacred ash from चिदम्बरम्, मदुरै, काशी and तिरुचॆन्दूर्, he looked like a veritable शिवगण-नायक, who was merely in human guise on earth. At around 9 PM, he lifted his weak hands, one last time, to place upon his head as a humble salutation to the Supreme God and then gave up his last breath.

Context

Śrī Nāvalar’s last public discourse was on आडि-स्वाति of the Tamizh calendar in 1879, the गुरुपूजा of श्री-सुन्दरमूर्ति-नायनार्, the friend of महादेव. His health began to deteriorate over the next few months. The daily आत्मार्थ-पूजा he would do with so much devotion; he was unable to do it any longer and a शिवाचार्य from वेदारण्यम् would do it on his behalf.

Major celebrations

In सिंहपुरी, the गुरुपूजा of आऱुमुख-नावलर् (the day he attained शिवपद) is done without fail at शॆण्पक (चम्पक) विनायक temple every year on मघा-नक्षत्र of कार्त्तिका-मास as per the Tamizh calendar.

Viśveśvara was the son of Viśvamakhindra; resorting to the fact of Paraśivārya, known as Navaśaṅkara from the first preceptor toured all places successfully, from Setu (Rāmeśvaram) to Sītāgiri (Himalayas). Since He possessed intellect more than anyone in the Universe, men of wisdom call him Viśvādhika and Navaśaṅkara. His erudition in composing works such as Rudra bhāṣya is beyond words—immeasurable.

लोङ्गेवाला युद्धम् #५२

Event occured on 1971-12-05 (gregorian).

120 Indian soldiers stubbornly hold back 2,000 pAkistAni Islamist soldiers aided by 40 tanks all night till at dawn the IAF Hawker Hunters and Maruts picked off the remaining tanks.

tanoTamAtA’s blessings

The main Indian anti-tank weapon at Longewala was a jeep-mounted recoilless rifle. It had been supposed to be withdrawn and re-assigned the day before the engagement; yet due to mysterious happenstance had been significantly delayed and unable to leave before the reports came in of the impending Pakistani armoured thrust. It was to prove vital in the ensuing defence. As were the Indian artillery-pieces nearby that had only just managed to be deployed scant hours before the commencement of the assault.

… Pakistani tanks began a barrage on the village but by Tanot Mata’s grace enemy tanks got stuck in the sand for several hours, giving time to the Indian Air Force to pick them off one by one.

Aftermath

200 soldiers of Islamic state of Pakistan killed, 36 tanks destroyed. 2 Indian soldiers and 5 camels at their service died.

मॆय्प्पॊरुळ् नायऩ्मार् (५) गुरुपूजै

Observed on Uttaraphalgunī nakshatra of Vr̥ścikaḥ (sidereal solar) month (Prātaḥ/paraviddha).

Between the 6th and 9th centuries, in South India, there existed 63 ardent devotees of Lord Shiva, collectively known as the Nayanmars. These devout individuals, hailing from various walks of life including potters, fishermen, farmers, merchants, priests, hunters, and washermen, created devotional songs still sung by followers around the globe.

The 5th of them—Meypporul Nayanmar—a devout king of Sethi’s hill tribes, was celebrated for his bravery, chivalry, and successful battles, creating a peaceful and prosperous kingdom. He deeply revered Lord Shiva, seeing Him and His devotees as the embodiment of Absolute Truth, and held Shiva Bhaktas in high esteem, with daily prayers and festivals in temples.

His fame, however, stirred jealousy in Muthanathan, a neighbouring king. Muthanathan, defeated in battle, resorted to deceit, disguising himself as a Shiva Yogi to assassinate Nayanmar. Even as he lay dying from the betrayal, Nayanmar’s concern was for the impostor’s safety, instructing his guard to protect the assailant and honour him as a Shiva yogi as he appeared as one! His last words urged continued devotion and service to Shiva Bhaktas.

Lord Shiva immediately manifested in front of him and bestowed his blessings with these words: Your unwavering devotion to my devotees, your boundless cosmic love, and your ability to see me even in a murderer have deeply impressed me. Due to these virtues, you are deserving of the Highest Abode, a place even the Devas aspire to but often cannot attain. You shall soon join me in My Divine Realm.'' After imparting this blessing, Lord Shiva vanished, and the Nayanmar, aptly named as ‘one who regards God as the sole reality’ (ta:meypporuḷ), ascended to Shiva’s divine abode.

Event occured on 1986-12-07 (gregorian).

About 5,000 Moslems tried to burn office of the paper, The Deccan Herald, after the paper had printed a short story in its Sunday magazine titled ‘‘Mohammad the Idiot.’’ The story (translated from maLayALam, depicting rural life in Kerala) concerned a handicapped youth named Mohammad, but the Moslems, who make up 10 percent of the city’s population, asserted that a reference to him as ‘‘a deaf and dumb prophet’’ was an insult to their religion. - NYT summary

“Four people were killed and nearly 50 were injured in riots here today.” - NYT on Dec 8th

“The larger part of the blame for the violence must devolve on Muslim leaders, among whom former Congress(I) minister C.M. Ibrahim was allegedly in the forefront, who whipped up passions in the community by deliberately distorting what the story had said.” - India Today.

आऩाय नायऩ्मार् (१४) गुरुपूजै

Observed on Hastaḥ nakshatra of Vr̥ścikaḥ (sidereal solar) month (Prātaḥ/paraviddha).

Between the 6th and 9th centuries, in South India, there existed 63 ardent devotees of Lord Shiva, collectively known as the Nayanmars. These devout individuals, hailing from various walks of life including potters, fishermen, farmers, merchants, priests, hunters, and washermen, created devotional songs still sung by followers around the globe. Among these Nayanmars, Appar, Sambandar, and Sundarar, known for their Thevaram hymns, along with Manikkavasagar, are distinguished as the Samayacharyas or the ‘The Four’ (ta:nālvar) revered teachers of the faith. They were instrumental in promoting the Shaiva Siddhanta philosophy and culture, effectively challenging the spread of Jainism and Buddhism. Their teachings centered around the concept that Shiva embodies love, and that embracing love for all beings and existence is essential in connecting with Shiva, the Supreme Being.

In Tirumangalam, a significant pilgrimage site in Mazhanadu (Tiruchirapalli District), resided the deity Samavedishvarar, known for purifying Parasurama of his sin and granting him an axe. Among the devotees in this divine place was a cowherd named Anayar, who earned his name due to his occupation. Anayar, the 14th Nayanmar, was deeply devoted to Lord Shiva, showing reverence to the sacred Bhasma (ash) and Shiva Bhaktas of all castes. His unique form of devotion involved playing the Panchakshara Mantra of Shiva on his flute.

One day, under a Konrai tree, beloved by Lord Shiva, Anayar played his flute, rendering the holy mantra. The melody was so enchanting that it mesmerized not only the cows and calves under his care but also the surrounding wildlife. Birds perched quietly to listen, peacocks danced rhythmically, and animals like deer, snakes, lions, elephants, and tigers, typically adversaries in nature, coexisted peacefully under the spell of the music. The environment itself seemed to pause, with rivers halting their flow and ocean waves calming, to savor the celestial music. Even heavenly beings like Vidyadharas, Kinnaras, and Devas were drawn to Anayar’s location in their celestial vehicles, captivated by his flute’s melody.

Lord Shiva, deeply moved by Anayar’s sincere devotion and the combined power of the enchanting music and the sacred Panchakshara Mantra, appeared before Anayar along with Mother Parvathi. Acknowledging Anayar’s devotion, Lord Shiva blessed him and escorted him to Kailas, the divine abode.

  • 06:31→10:40

When a tripādanakṣatra is conjoined with a bhadrā tithi i.e. dvitīyā, saptamī or dvādaśī, and this falls on a Tuesday, Sunday or Saturday, it is known as a tripuṣkara-yōgaḥ. The dvipuṣkara occurs when the bhadrā tithis coincide with the same days as above, but with the dvipāda nakṣatras, which are mr̥gaśīrṣa, chitrā and dhaniṣṭhā. Like the tripuṣkara which gives a three-fold multiplier for śubha and aśubha, the dvipuṣkara has a two-fold effect.

त्रिपुष्कराख्योऽदितिवह्निविश्वद्वीशाजपादर्यमभेषु योगः।

रै-लीलाऽपहृतस्त्री रक्षति #७७

Event occured on 1946-12-09 (gregorian).

On this day, Leela Roy reached Ramganj on 9 December, walking 90 miles on foot from Chaumohani in an effort to rescue kidnapped Hindu girls after the Noakhali riots. She recovered 1,307 abducted girls. Her organisation, the National Services Institute, set up 17 relief camps.

Context

Great numbers of Hindu women were gang-raped and kidnapped after the Noakhali riots. On 20 October, at a meeting of the Chattogram Mahila Sangha, the Chittagong branch of the All India Women’s Conference, presided over by Nellie Sengupta, a resolution was passed that the organisation would work for the relief and recovery of the abducted Hindu women. The Noakhali Relief Committee was formed. From 26 October onwards, the committee began to send a group of volunteers led by Ashoka Gupta to Noakhali for relief operations on a weekly basis.

In December, the Srihatta Mahila Sangha decided to send Kiranshashi Deb, Leela Dasgupta, Saralabala Deb and Suhasini Das to Noakhali for relief work.

ज़ोरावरसिंह-मृत्युः #१८२

Event occured on 1841-12-12 (gregorian).

On this day died the Kahluria Rajput general Zorawar Singh (under Gulab Singh) on his remarkable Tibetan expedition, after his pilgrimage to mAnasasarovara and kailAsa. Snow had caused supplies to the Dogra army to fail despite Zorawar’s preparations. In the early exchange of fire the Rajput general was wounded in his right shoulder but he grabbed a sword in his left hand. The Tibetan horsemen then charged the Dogra position and one of them thrust his lance in Zorawar Singh’s chest.

He had captured Taklakot fort in Tibet near mAnasasarovara and Mt KailAsa - just 15 miles from nepAl.

चिऱप्पुलि नायऩ्मार् (३५) गुरुपूजै

Observed on Pūrvāṣāḍhā nakshatra of Vr̥ścikaḥ (sidereal solar) month (Prātaḥ/paraviddha).

Between the 6th and 9th centuries, in South India, there existed 63 ardent devotees of Lord Shiva, collectively known as the Nayanmars. These devout individuals, hailing from various walks of life including potters, fishermen, farmers, merchants, priests, hunters, and washermen, created devotional songs still sung by followers around the globe. Among these Nayanmars, Appar, Sambandar, and Sundarar, known for their Thevaram hymns, along with Manikkavasagar, are distinguished as the Samayacharyas or the ‘The Four’ (ta:nālvar) revered teachers of the faith. They were instrumental in promoting the Shaiva Siddhanta philosophy and culture, effectively challenging the spread of Jainism and Buddhism. Their teachings centered around the concept that Shiva embodies love, and that embracing love for all beings and existence is essential in connecting with Shiva, the Supreme Being.

Sirappuli Nayanmar, a devout Brahmana from Tiruvakur in the Chola kingdom, was deeply devoted to Lord Shiva and His devotees. He also conducted Vedic sacrifices to propitiate Lord Shiva. He demonstrated his devotion through sincere worship and service. A significant aspect of his spiritual practice was the constant repetition of the Panchakshara Mantra, day and night. All these earned him the supreme grace of Lord Shiva.

मूर्क्ख नायऩ्मार् (३२) गुरुपूजै

Observed on Mūlā nakshatra of Vr̥ścikaḥ (sidereal solar) month (Prātaḥ/paraviddha).

Between the 6th and 9th centuries, in South India, there existed 63 ardent devotees of Lord Shiva, collectively known as the Nayanmars. These devout individuals, hailing from various walks of life including potters, fishermen, farmers, merchants, priests, hunters, and washermen, created devotional songs still sung by followers around the globe.

Their teachings centered around the concept that Shiva embodies love, and that embracing love for all beings and existence is essential in connecting with Shiva, the Supreme Being.

Murkha Nayanmar, a Vellala from Tiruverkat in Thondai Nadu, was a fervent devotee of Lord Shiva. He devoted himself to Maahesvara Puja,in the form of generously feeding the devotees of Shiva. In his dedication, he expended all his wealth on this practice.

Faced with financial depletion, he adopted an unconventional method. He engaged in gambling, solely to finance the feeding of Shiva’s devotees. Driven by his devotion, he ventured beyond his village, seeking gambling opportunities. His determination was fierce; he would not hesitate to use force if someone declined to gamble with him. This earned him the moniker ‘Murkha Nayanmar,’ implying a somewhat misguided or reckless devotee. However, he never used his gambling gains for personal gain, dedicating everything to the service of the Lord’s devotees. This reflects his profound devotion, a state where the devotee is wholly absorbed in God, almost oblivious to worldly norms.

खाण्डेरावेण गॆज्जलहळ्ळि-युद्धे जयः #२६३

Event occured on 1760-12-16 (gregorian).

On this day, khANDe rAv, the royalist divAn of Krishnaraja Wodeyar II, thoroughly defeated Haidar Ali in the battle of Nanjangud-Haradanahalli near Gejjalahalli Pass.

Context
  • Khande Rao came in contact with Haidar Ali in August 1756 when the king entrusted him with 50k gold pieces to be given to Sahbas Sahib (brother of Haidar) and Haidar to enable them to raise an army to defeat the Dalawai brothers who had virtually imprisoned him (the king) in his own palace.
  • Haidar rose to power under Khande Rao with the countenence of Karachuri Nanjarajaiah. In 1758, Khande Rao was made “Dewan” on the recommendation of Haidar and the Dalawais (including Karachuri Nanjarajaiah) were side-lined.
  • By 1759, it was clear that Haidar was getting more and more revenue districts assigned to himself and Khande Rao had seen through Haidar’s intention to fleece the king.
  • The Wodeyar King sought the assistance of the Mahratta army and Khande Rao wrote several letters to George Pigout, Governor General at Madras for help.
  • On 26th August 1760, Khande Rao attacked Haidar at Srirangapatna but let Haidar flee out of sentiment, with the promise that he would retire away from maisUru. Haidar did not keep his promise - he tried regrouping and attacking.
Aftermath
  • Sadly, shortly thereafter marATha forces were recalled after the defeat at pANIpat.
  • Haidar rushed to the feet of the dalvai Karachuri Nanjarajaiah - the latter was swayed and basically let Haidar act on his behalf - sowing utter confusion in the maisUru king’s troops. This ultimately led to the capture of khANDe rAv on 20th June 1761. khANDe rAv was put in an iron cage in bengaLUru, where he died next year.

त्रिपुष्कर-योगः
  • 06:28→13:07

When a tripādanakṣatra is conjoined with a bhadrā tithi i.e. dvitīyā, saptamī or dvādaśī, and this falls on a Tuesday, Sunday or Saturday, it is known as a tripuṣkara-yōgaḥ. When only two of these coincide, it is known as dvipuṣkara. These are specially auspicious times, and are excluded for aparakarmas such as ūnamāsikaśrāddham.

खूलना-हत्या #७४

Event occured on 1949-12-20 (gregorian).

The District Superintendent of Police arrived in Kalshira (in Khulna) accompanied by armed police contingent and the paramilitary Ansars and attacked Kalshira and other neighbouring Hindu villages mercilessly. They encouraged Muslims from neighbouring villages to loot the Hindu properties. A number of Hindus were killed, men and women were forcibly converted. Images were broken and shrines were desecrated. All the 350 homesteads in the village, except three, were demolished. The cattle and boats were forcibly taken away. Within a month of the massacre 30,000 Hindus fled from Khulna to India.

Context: The previous day, four police constables raided the house of one Joydev Brahma in the village of Kalshira under Mollahat police station in Bagerhat sub-division in the district of Khulna, in search of some suspected communists, late in the night. Failed to find any suspects the constables tried to rape the wife of Brahma. Her cry alerted him and his companions, who in a desperate bid to save her attacked two constables, one of whom died on the spot. The remaining two raised an alarm and the neighbouring people came to their rescue.

महाधनुर्व्यतीपात-श्राद्धम्

vyatīpāta is regarded as the king of yōgas. Though it occurs 13 times every year, the occurrence in dhanurmāsa is special, and this day is special for a number of special observances, such as śivapūjā, pitr̥tarpaṇam etc. One must also give arghyam with the shloka mentioned here, and perform the usual (dhanurmāsa) naivedyam of mudgānnam. Markandeya Rishi has performed upadesham of a year-long vratam, beginning this day, including the pūja of vyatīpata-dēvatā. Puranas also narrate the story of rich merchant names Vishwasakha, who was born as a wild boar owing to denying food to a hungry vipra on Vyatipata day. Having lost half his body to a forest fire, the boar was redeemed from this plight by the Raja Haryashva, who passed by, and gave away his accrued merits from vyatīpāta-snāna-dānam. As a result of this, the wild boar attained a divine form.

वायिलार् नायऩ्मार् (५१) गुरुपूजै

Observed on Rēvatī nakshatra of Dhanuḥ (sidereal solar) month (Prātaḥ/paraviddha).

Between the 6th and 9th centuries, in South India, there existed 63 ardent devotees of Lord Shiva, collectively known as the Nayanmars. These devout individuals, hailing from various walks of life including potters, fishermen, farmers, merchants, priests, hunters, and washermen, created devotional songs still sung by followers around the globe. Among these Nayanmars, Appar, Sambandar, and Sundarar, known for their Thevaram hymns, along with Manikkavasagar, are distinguished as the Samayacharyas or the ‘The Four’ (ta:nālvar) revered teachers of the faith. They were instrumental in promoting the Shaiva Siddhanta philosophy and culture, effectively challenging the spread of Jainism and Buddhism. Their teachings centered around the concept that Shiva embodies love, and that embracing love for all beings and existence is essential in connecting with Shiva, the Supreme Being.

This Nayanmar, a Vellala from Mylapore, was a fervent devotee of Lord Shiva. His devotion transcended the physical forms of worship, as he engaged in profound mental worship. He envisioned constructing temples in his mind, where he performed Manasic (mental) worship. In his inner sanctum, he built the temple of unceasing remembrance, ignited the radiant lamp of self-realization, bathed the divine in the waters of eternal Ananda (bliss), and offered his utmost love as the offering. Through this profound and abstract form of devotion, he achieved salvation.

Event occured on 1887-12-22 (gregorian).

The fine autodidact pure math genius rAmAnujan was born by the grace of nAmagiri-amma to shrInivAsa ayyangAr. Under the devI’s inspiration, he made substantial contributions to mathematical analysis, number theory, infinite series, and continued fractions, including solutions to mathematical problems then considered unsolvable. Ramanujan initially developed his own mathematical research in isolation. Finally he succeeded in getting GH Hardy’s attention and patronage. He cried as they cut his shikhA. Used to recite sanskrit conjugations. Died at age 32. As late as 2011 and again in 2012, researchers continued to discover that mere comments in his writings about ‘simple properties’ and ‘similar outputs’ for certain findings were themselves profound and subtle number theory results that remained unsuspected until nearly a century after his death.

  • 06:30→15:21

16 ghatikas on either side of the transition of the Sun are sacred for various observances. In addition to specific puṇyakālas like ṣaḍaśīti, viṣṇupadī etc., this is also useful, especially in cases where the other puṇyakālas are inconvenient for appropriate performance of rituals such as snāna, dāna, tarpaṇa, etc.

  • 06:30→12:07

When the transit of the Sun (saṅkrānti) happens in the first half of the day (pūrvāhṇa) or after midnight of the previous day, the first half of the day is a puṇyakāla for various observances. In addition to 16 ghatikas on either side of the transition, and specific puṇyakālas like ṣaḍaśīti, viṣṇupadī etc., this is also useful, especially in cases where the other puṇyakālas are inconvenient for appropriate performance of rituals such as snāna, dāna, tarpaṇa, etc.

Beginning of sahasya-māsaḥ, marked by the transit of Sun into makara-rāshī. Importantly, this also marks the beginning of uttarāyaṇam, and the end of dakṣiṇāyanam. This also marks the winter solstice. While nirayana saṅkrānti’s are widely observed, tropical saṅkrānti’s are also equally sacred, and have similar puṇyakālas associated with them.

Event occured on 1804-12-24 (gregorian).

Shortly after bAjI rAv 2’s surrender to the British, and the British victory over shiNDe forces; yashvantrAv holkar separately (re)started his fight but settled for a treaty with the British.

He was initially successful, but was chased and defeated by General Lake - more by diplomacy than battle. The jAT rAjA raNajIt singh briefly helped, but defected when pressed. daulatrAv shiNDe joined briefly but was soon bought off. Other such as raNajIt singh of panjAb, hill chiefs, even the afhAn shAh etc.. all backed off and stayed away.

He would write two years later to vyankojI bhosle: " I paid a visit to Daulatrao and explained to him how important it was for all of us to join to avert foreign domination. Daulatrao failed me. It was cooperation and good will which had built the Maratha state. But now, we have all become self seekers. You also did not make your promise good. It is no use now talking of past things. When I found myself abandoned on all sides, I accepted the offer the British agents brought to me and concluded the war.”

चडैय नायऩ्मार् (६२) गुरुपूजै

Observed on Ārdrā nakshatra of Dhanuḥ (sidereal solar) month (Prātaḥ/paraviddha).

Between the 6th and 9th centuries, in South India, there existed 63 ardent devotees of Lord Shiva, collectively known as the Nayanmars. These devout individuals, hailing from various walks of life including potters, fishermen, farmers, merchants, priests, hunters, and washermen, created devotional songs still sung by followers around the globe. Among these Nayanmars, Appar, Sambandar, and Sundarar, known for their Thevaram hymns, along with Manikkavasagar, are distinguished as the Samayacharyas or the ‘The Four’ (ta:nālvar) revered teachers of the faith. They were instrumental in promoting the Shaiva Siddhanta philosophy and culture, effectively challenging the spread of Jainism and Buddhism. Their teachings centered around the concept that Shiva embodies love, and that embracing love for all beings and existence is essential in connecting with Shiva, the Supreme Being.

In the region of Tirunavalur in Tirumuraipadi, there lived a devout Adi Shaiva named Sadayanar, whose lineage was known for its deep devotion to Lord Shiva. Sadayanar, embodying the same piety and dedication, was married to Isaijnaniyar, a woman equally devoted to the Lord. Their virtuous past actions blessed them with a divine child, who was none other than Sundaramurthi Nayanmar.

The child’s striking beauty caught the attention of Narasinga Munaiyar, the local king, who expressed a desire to raise the child himself. Demonstrating their detachment from worldly attachments, Sadayanar and Isaijnaniyar willingly entrusted their child to the king without hesitation. This couple exemplified the ideal life of householders, focusing on spiritual devotion and ultimately earning the grace of the Divine.

Observed on Kr̥ṣṇa-Prathamā tithi of Mārgaśīrṣaḥ (lunar) month (Aparāhṇaḥ/vyaapti). The event occurred in 3373 (Kali era).

Then, the preceptor Śrī Cidghana, having governed or held the responsibilities of Ācārya Pīṭha for thirtyseven years, placed his disciple Śrī Vidyāghana, who was known as Śrī Nāyana in Pūrvāśrama before initiation, in the Maṭha; adhering to ascetic principles, wandering like a child, He vanished in the divine form of Īśvara. Śrī Sacchidānanda, named Śeṣa (before initiation), son of Śrīdhrapaṇḍita, born on the banks of river Garuḍa, disciple of Preceptor Chandraśekahara having enjoyed the bliss through spiritual practices for sixty-nine years, and at the end of life entered into the Śivaliṅga—Kāyādhirohaneśvara. The great preceptor, the transcendental, immaculate attained the supreme state devoid of pains, beyond everything, imperishable and infinite on the first day of the dark fortnight in the month of Mārgaśīrṣa in the year Khara.

कच-विहार-मन्दिर-नाशः #३६२

Event occured on 1661-12-29 (gregorian). Julian date was converted to Gregorian in this reckoning.

On Dec 19, 1661, Mir Jumla (general of Awrangzeb) entered the city of Cooch-Bihar, which had been evacuated by its king and people, and appointed Sayyid Mohammed, Sadiq to be chief judge, with directions to destroy all the Hindu temples and to erect mosques in their stead. Mir Jumla himself with a battle-axe broke the image of Narayan.

नॆडुंकोट-युद्धम् #२३४

Event occured on 1789-12-29 (gregorian).

On this day, in the first battle on the neDuMkoTa coast-to-mountain fortification, Tipu Sultan and troops were routed. Tipu was wounded (physically and mentally), and lost 1k troops. padmanAbhapura lost 300. Several of Tipu’s officers (including Europeans) were captured.

Two horses were shot from under Tipu, and he even got an arrow in the back. During the hasty retreat, Tipu fell back into the ditch twice before being helped out and the occasional lameness which he suffered until his death was reputedly the consequence. Tipu’s sword, the palanquin, the dagger, the ring and many other personal effects fell into the ditch, and then into the hands of the minister keshava-dAsa.

Aftermath

Humiliated Tipu vowed to take down “the contemptible wall”. The fine wall held up till 15th April. Then he managed a 1km wide breach after 1 month of sustained artillery fire and poured in - only to be foiled again at Alwaye river bank. He retreated by 24 May 1790 to defend his kingdom from British threat.

Context

The Dutch captive-turned general of padmanAbhapura’s mArtANDa varma, De Lannoy, had built an excellent fortification from coast to mountain - neDuMkoTa. It had a 16 feet wide and 20 deep ditch. dharmarAja rAma varma had tried to get British help when Tipu’s attack was imminent, but only got words. The Dutch, who’d sold forts to rAma varma helped a bit - by sending an engineer von Krause, who was dispatched to the wall. He wrote an account of the battle.

When Tipu attacked, he tried filling a small portion of the ditch with cotton sacks and moving in a small column via a narrow passage. At first the Mysoreans overpowered three batteries of the Lines but subsequently their flanks were subjected to fire from the woods. They were so surprised by the first round of fire that they fell into disorder. Then the well drilled nair army advanced and the confusion increased. Those Mysoreans who had not yet been trampled down by their horses while retreating found that the sacks with cotton, used for filling up the ditch when they set out, as well as some powder-barrels, had caught fire. This forced them to jump from the ramparts.

This was Vishwasrao’s first battle. He did well, may he gain more victories.” says a Maratha letter.

Events

Ibrahim Khan Gardi was still under Nizam’s employ. There was a big artillery attack by the marAThas, followed by an infantry square advance by Nizam’s side and cavalry attacks by Marathas. “They had taken about 300-500 men and 200 horses dead. Our losses were fewer. Their infantry retired from the field, we held our positions. An envoy from the Nizam arrived in our camp.” says a marATha letter.

Event occured on 1802-12-31 (gregorian).

In a selfish and short-sighted move, bAjI-rAv 2 signed the Treaty of Bassein and became a subordinate ally of the British after running away from yashvantrAv holkar’s vectorious army. Earlier he had taken shiNDe’s side in the shiNDe-holkar rivalry and had executed yashvantrAv’s brother by elephant trampling. Soon, with successful execution of the “divide and conquer” strategy, the East India Company forces won against the shiNDe army in isolation; and then the holkar army.
