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.
