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.
