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. 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.
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.

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.
