नमिनन्दियडिगळ् नायऩ्मार् (२७) गुरुपूजै

Observed on Puṣyaḥ nakshatra of Vr̥ṣabhaḥ (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.

Nami Nandi Adigal, a devout Brahmana from Emaperur in the Chola kingdom, dedicated his life to worshipping Lord Shiva in Tiruvarur. One day, driven by a desire to light numerous lamps in the temple as extolled in the Shiva Agamas, he sought ghee from a nearby house. However, the Jaina inhabitant mockingly suggested using water instead. Distressed, Nandi Adigal prayed to Lord Shiva and was divinely instructed to use water from a nearby tank for lighting the lamps. Miraculously, the lamps burned brightly with water, astonishing the Jainas and leading to a decline in Jainism as people turned to Shaivism.

Recognising his devotion, the Chola king appointed Nandi Adigal as the head of the temple. He zealously conducted the Panguni Uttaram festival at Tirumanali, drawing worshippers of all castes. One night, feeling unpurified by the contact with people of various castes, he hesitated to enter his home. As he waited for his wife to bring him water to bathe, he fell asleep and dreamt of Lord Shiva, who revealed that all born in Tiruvarur were His ganas! Awakening, Nandi Adigal narrated this story to his wife, and performed his worship. In the morning, he went back to Tiruvarur and saw that the people of Tiruvarur bore the form of Lord Shiva! As he prostrated to them, they all resumed their original forms — thus a divine Lila being enacted by the Lord.

Settling in Tiruvarur, Nandi Adigal devoted himself to serving the Lord and His devotees, earning praise as ‘Anipon’ (pure gold) from the Nayanmar Appar. He ultimately attained the sublime abode of Lord Shiva, exemplifying pure devotion and service.

रघुनाथराव-बन्धनम् #४०

Event occured on 1984-06-10 (gregorian).

On this day, 1,461 Sikh soldiers of the Sikh regimental centre (1,050 of them raw recruits) at Ramgarh camp in the erstwhile Bihar state rebelled and murdered their commander, Brigadier RS Puri. The leaders of the mutiny divided the troops into two groups just outside of Banaras to avoid a rumoured roadblock.

Context

Many Sikh armymen were indoctrinated by Khalistanis. Fifteen percent of the Indian Army - including some of its most elite divisions - were composed of Sikhs. (But Sikhs were less than 2 percent of the population.) One of the bodies removed from Bhindranwale’s basement command was that retired Maj. Gen. Shuhbeg Singh. He dismissed one day before getting his retirement. After his dismissal he joined the Khalistan movement as a military adviser. A couple of Sikh bodyguards later killed the prime minister Indira Gandhi.

The mutiny was sparked by an army assault the previous week on the holiest shrine of the Sikhs, the Golden Temple. Incidentally, the two top generals in the chain of command, Lt Gen RS Dayal MVC and Maj Gen KS Brar were Sikhs with distinguished records for service and gallantry.

Aftermath

Two other senior officers and a number of soldiers were seriously wounded in heavy shooting at the camp that began before noon and continued until 4 pm. The soldiers joined other angry Sikhs in hijacking private buses and trucks at gunpoint.

One half was engaged by army artillery at Shakteshgarh railway station; those who managed to escape were rounded up by 21st Mechanised Infantry Regiment. The other half engaged with the artillery and troops of 20th Infantry Brigade, during which 35 soldiers (both sides) were killed. Sikh soldiers remaining behind at the camp raised a white flag of surrender when the reinforcements arrived.

Overall (including other incidents), about 5k Sikhs had mutinied. Many mutineers were court-martialed and dismissed. The Sikh Regiment’s 9th battalion was disbanded. Some were retained, but soldiers from those battalions were made to wear a black band around their turbans to signify they had once betrayed the country.
