बॆङ्गळूरु-गणपति-कलहः #९५

Event occured on 1928-07-29 (gregorian).

On this day, Muslim rioters showered stones, slippers and even bullets at Hindus reinstalling a gaNapati shrine in their school, which was opposite to Municipal president Abbas Khan’s house.

Context

In June 1928, the students of Hindu Anglo-Vernacular School, Sultanpet, Bengaluru, requested the contractor who was undertaking repair work to the school building, to construct a small shrine or niche over an existing Ganesha idol in a passage of the Hindu Anglo-Vernacular School. The Director of Public Instructions had it stowed away. Students (including those of neighboring schools) demanded that it be restored. This act had the support of an editorial in a newspaper Veerakesari run by Sitarama Sastri; among others. Indian National Congress leaders Ramlal Tiwari, Jamkandi Bhima Rao and H. V. Subramanyam too supported the students. The idol dispute soon evolved into a general protest by Hindus over Muslim dominance and bias in the administration and bureaucracy.

Tiwari, Subrahmanyam and Bhima Rao were arrested on 27 July 1928. A procession of students made its way to Central Jail, Bengaluru where the arrested leaders were kept and were lathi-charged by the state police. The idol was restored to its original place on 29 July and worship at the Ganapati shrine was renewed by over 5,000 Hindus, which prompted the Muslims to attack them with shouts of “Deen, Deen”.

Events

Muslims fired from a roof of a nearby cycle shop and also reportedly from the upper floor of the house of Abbas Khan and at least one boy was hit by a bullet. 123 Hindus and 11 Muslims were injured before the government brought the situation under control.

Aftermath

The Diwan, Sir Mirza Ismail, advised the Maharaja of Mysore, who was residing at Mysuru, “not to come from Mysore to Bangalore till after (the) arrested leaders have been tried”. The Maharaja of Mysore constituted a committee headed by Sir M. Visvesvaraya to enquire into the disturbances, and the committee observed that law and order was completely broken down during the disturbances and the government favoured one side (ie the muslims) in the incident. Noted journalist and scholar DV Gundappa, who had high regard for Mirza Ismail before the incident, stopped talking to him for a long time.

कोट्पुलि नायऩ्मार् (५७) गुरुपूजै

Observed on Jyēṣṭhā 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.

Kotpuli Nayanmar, born in a Vellala family, was the Commander-in-Chief for a Chola king, and a devout follower of Lord Shiva. He religiously bought paddy with his income to donate for the Lord’s offerings in Shiva temples. Before leaving for a military assignment, he left a considerable amount of paddy, specifically designated for temple use, with his family. However, during a famine in his absence, his relatives, suffering from hunger, used this paddy for themselves. Upon returning and discovering this, the Nayanmar, deeply upset by their disregard for his instructions and their disrespect towards the Lord, killed them, including his own parents. His devotion to Lord Shiva surpassed even his familial bonds. In response, Lord Shiva appeared to the Nayanmar, blessing him and granting salvation to him and all the relatives who perished by his hand.

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.

Kaliya Nayanmar, a resident and oil merchant of Tiruvotriyur, was known for his deep devotion to Lord Shiva, particularly expressed through his daily service of lighting lamps in the temple. Initially affluent, he faced a dramatic turn of fortune when the Lord, to demonstrate Kaliya Nayanmar’s unwavering faith, led him into poverty. This sudden change in his circumstances also brought about a lack of support from his family.

In his commitment to continue his service to the Lord, Kaliya Nayanmar resorted to manual labour to earn enough to buy oil for the temple lamps. However, as his situation worsened, even this means became unfeasible. Driven to desperation, he considered selling his wife, but this plan too did not materialise, as no one was willing to buy her. Facing utter despair and determined to fulfill his service, Kaliya Nayanmar contemplated using his own blood as a substitute for the oil to keep the temple lamps burning! At this poignant moment of self-sacrifice, Lord Shiva intervened, stopping Kaliya Nayanmar from harming himself, and blessed him, acknowledging his profound devotion and selfless service.

सर्व-पद्मिनी-एकादशी

The Shukla-paksha Ekadashi of adhika month is known as padminī-ēkādaśī.

पक्षे पक्षे च कर्तव्यमेकादश्यामुपोषणम्।
यदीच्छेद्विष्णुसायुज्यं श्रियं सन्ततिमात्मनः।
एकादश्यां न भुञ्जीत पक्षयोरुभयोरपि॥

अद्य स्थित्वा निराहारः श्वोभूते परमेश्वर।
भोक्ष्यामि पुण्डरीकाक्ष शरणं मे भवाच्युत॥
प्रमादादथवाऽऽलस्याद्धरे केशव माधव।
व्रतस्यास्य च वै विघ्नो न भवेत्त्वत्प्रसादतः॥
–पद्मपुराणे
