चण्डेश्वर नायऩ्मार् (२०) गुरुपूजै

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.
