अनध्यायः

Observed on Śukla-Prathamā tithi of every (lunar) month (Sāṅgavaḥ/paraviddha).

Anadhyayana on account of prathamā. Several tithis in a month are nitya-anadhyayana days, including prathamā, aṣṭamī, chaturdaśī, amāvāsyā and pūrṇimā. Manu has said that performing adhyayana on these days destroys the Guru (Amavasya), Shishya (Chaturdashi) and the vīrya of the brahma (vēda) itself (Ashtami/Purnima). Similarly, Jabali Rishi has said that Adhyayana on prathama hurts the buddhi while adhyayana on chaturdaśī hurts the brahma (vēda) itself! Interestingly, Lord Hanuman also remarks while describing the condition of Sita Devi to the rest of the vanaras and Rkshas that she was frail by nature, had further grown emaciated, owing to separation from her beloved Shri Rama, much like the vidyā of a scholar continuing his studies on a pratipat!

जाबालिः—
नाधीयीत नरो नित्यमादावन्ते च पक्षयोः।
आदौ च हीयते बुद्धिरन्ते च ब्रह्म हीयते॥
पक्षादिः प्रतिपत्, पक्षान्तः चतुर्दशी॥

चाक्किय नायऩ्मार् (३४) गुरुपूजै

Observed on Pūrvāṣāḍhā nakshatra of Dhanuḥ (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.

This Nayanmar, a Vellala from Tirucchangamangai, grew disillusioned with worldly life and yearned for liberation. Initially swayed by Buddhist teachings, he eventually found his spiritual calling in Shaivism, convinced that intense devotion to Lord Shiva was the true path to liberation. Despite maintaining the outward appearance of a Buddhist, his heart was devoted to Lord Shiva.

In an unusual display of devotion, he would sit in an open Shiva temple, deeply meditating on the Lingam. One day, in a state of divine absorption, he unwittingly threw a stone at the Lingam. Realizing this act the next day, he interpreted it as divine will, understanding that Lord Shiva accepts any offering made with sincere devotion. Henceforth, throwing a stone at the Lingam became his unique form of daily worship, a ritual he performed before eating.

On one occasion, just as he was about to eat, he remembered he had not performed his daily ritual. Driven by devotion, he rushed to the temple to throw a stone at the Lingam! Touched by his unorthodox yet profound devotion, Lord Shiva appeared before him, blessed him, and ultimately took him to Kailasa, the abode of the divine.

वसाय्-सन्धिः #२२२

Event occured on 1802-12-31 (gregorian).

In a selfish and short-sighted move, bAjI-rAv 2 signed the Treaty of Bassein and became a subordinate ally of the British after running away from yashvantrAv holkar’s vectorious army. Earlier he had taken shiNDe’s side in the shiNDe-holkar rivalry and had executed yashvantrAv’s brother by elephant trampling. Soon, with successful execution of the “divide and conquer” strategy, the East India Company forces won against the shiNDe army in isolation; and then the holkar army.
