अङ्गारकी-चतुर्थी

When chaturthī tithi occurs on a Tuesday, it is known as aṅgārakī and is as sacred as a solar eclipse. Particularly special day for doing puja of Ganesha/Subrahmanya with naivedyam of modakam/millet flour respectively.

अमावस्या तु सोमेन सप्तमी भानुना सह।
चतुर्थी भूमिपुत्रेण सोमपुत्रेण चाष्टमी।
चतस्रस्तिथयस्त्वेताः सूर्यग्रहणसन्निभाः॥
यस्मिन्कस्मिन्भवेन्मासि चतुर्थी रविवारयुक्।
साङ्गारका वा विप्रेन्द्र सा विशेषफलप्रदा॥

चण्डेश्वर नायऩ्मार् (२०) गुरुपूजै

Observed on Uttaraphalgunī nakshatra of Makaraḥ (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’ (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.

Vichara Sarman, later known as Chandesvara Nayanmar, was a prodigious child from Tiruchaijnanallur, a place renowned for Vedic learning and devotion to Lord Shiva. By the age of five, he had self-learned the Vedas and Agamas due to his past life impressions. After his Upanayanam, he formally studied the Vedas under a Guru and aspired for liberation in this life.

One day, Vichara Sarman witnessed a cowherd beating a cow and intervened, admonishing the cowherd for mistreating the sacred animal. He took over the responsibility of tending the cows himself. Under his care, the cows flourished, and there was an abundance of milk, which he used to perform Abhishekam to a mud-constructed Shiva Lingam under an Atti tree (audumbaravr̥kṣaḥ) by the river.

However, a villager witnessed this and complained to the cow owners that Vichara Sarman was wasting milk on mud and sand. His father, Echhadattan, upon hearing the complaint, secretly observed Vichara Sarman’s ritual. Misinterpreting his son’s devotion, the father attempted to disrupt the ritual, prompting Vichara Sarman to defend the worship by striking his father with a stick, which miraculously turned into an axe and killed his father.

This act was a divine test of Vichara Sarman’s devotion. Lord Shiva, impressed by his unwavering devotion, appeared before him with Goddess Parvathi. Vichara Sarman was transformed into a divine form akin to Lord Shiva and adorned with a garland from the Lord, attaining Saroopya Mukthi (liberation with the attainment of the form of the Lord). The Lord then declared that Vichara Sarman would soon reach Chandikeshvarar’s Abode and be worshipped in the same way he had worshipped the Lord with food, clothes, and flowers. Both Vichara Sarman and his father, purified by this supreme act of devotion, attained the abode of Lord Shiva.

गान्धिमारणम् #७६

Event occured on 1948-01-30 (gregorian).

nAthUrAm goDse (assisted by Narayan Apte) killed MK gAndhi (who DID NOT say “He Ram”) in a stupid move which would set back Hindu interest by decades. Millions of Indians mourned Gandhi’s assassination; the Hindu Mahasabha was vilified and the Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh was temporarily banned.

In Anti-brAhmin riots (mostly by so-called marATha-s taking advantage of the situation),innocent brAhmaNas were killed (on the first day alone, 15 in Bombay and 50 in Pune), thousands of offices and homes were also set on fire. Greatest violence took place in Satara, Kolhapur and Belgaum. The biggest violence took place in the seven Patwardhan (Chitpawan) princely states such as Sangli, where the remarkably advanced factories owned by Chitpawans were largely destroyed. Here, Jains and Lingayats joined the Marathas in the attacks. The events hastened the integration of Patwardhan states (by march 1948) into the Bombay province.

N Godse was later executed on 15 November 1949.

हसन-निज़ामि-रोधः #९६

Event occured on 1928-01-30 (gregorian).

On this day, a bullet from shivarAm rAjaguru stopped Hassan Nizami’s anti-hindu activities (albeit killing an unintended person).

The intended victim

Hassan Nizami (the famous sufi of Chishti order, of Nizamuddin Auliya’s known silsilã) was indulging in frenzied anti-hindu activity - including conversions in Central Provinces. Sita Ram Goel writes:

He published in 1920 a big book, Fãtami Dãwat-i-Islam, in which he advocated all means, fair and foul, by which Hindus were to be converted to Islam. He advised the mullahs to concentrate on Hindu “untouchables”, and convert them en masse so that Muslims could achieve parity of population with the Hindus. He disclosed in the introduction to his book that he had consulted many Muslim leaders including the Agha Khan regarding the soundness of his scheme, and that all of them had agreed with the caution that the scheme should be kept a closely guarded secret. Unfortunately for the Khwaja, the scheme came to the notice of Swami Shraddhananda who exposed it, fought it tooth and nail, and frustrated it completely by means of his Shuddhi Movement.

Even MK Gandhi had objected to his pamphlets (ref. his collected writings). But, Svami shraddhananda was killed by an Islamist.

The attempt

Ganesh Damodar aka Babarao Savarkar had recruited many boys, including rAjaguru to his cause. He had him enrolled in “Amravati Vyaayaam Prasaarak Mandal” which was a gym. This boy was strong by constitution and was an excellent marksman. Archery and shooting were this boy’s natural forte. He was summoned by Babarao and was given the task of “eliminating Hussain Nizami”.

Boy was happy at his first assignment. Since he was trained by likes of savarkar, he did all the necessary recce and info-gathering. Boy went to Delhi, studied routine of Nizam, set a trap and waited. Plan was to shoot nizam while his car passed thru a set point. The boy waited and he shot. Flawlessly! Unfortunately, that day it was Nizam’s father in law (Somali) who was sitting in usual place where nizam sat.

Codename of Rajguru in this operation was “M” - “M” for Maratha. Veer Savarkar had used same pseudonym to write his “Hindutva” year before.

Aftermath

Hassan, although alive, got the message. Conversions stopped in CP.
Though consoled by his colleagues Shiv Verma and Chandrashekhara AzAd, it is reported that he always felt guilty at killing the wrong person.
