चापेकराभ्यां रण्ड-वधः #१२६

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.

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.
