Anadhyayana on account of manvādi. On the days of Ayana (solstices), Vishu (equinoxes), the day when Lord Vishnu goes to sleep (Shayana Ekadashi) or awakens (Utthana Ekadashi) as well as the Manvadi and Yugadi days, one is not supposed to perform Adhyayana.

नारदः—
अयने विषुवे चैव शयने बोधने हरेः।
अनध्यायस्तु कर्तव्यो मन्वादिषु युगादिषु॥

भीष्म-पञ्चक-व्रत-आरम्भः

Observed on Śukla-Ēkādaśī tithi of Kārttikaḥ (lunar) month (Sūryōdayaḥ/puurvaviddha).

Bhishma, lying on śaratalpa performed upadesha to Yudhisthira and other Pandavas for these five days. On the eleventh day in the month of Kārttika, Bhisma requested for water, and his thirst was quenched by Arjun, who brought the water of Gaṅgā by an arrow. Hence, Lord Krishna blessed Bhisma that all the people should offer libations to Bhishma and propitiate him beginning from Ekadashi and ending on the full-moon day. The Skanda Purana describes this highly meritorious ritual, Bhīṣmapañcaka Vrata, performed over five days during the bright half of the month of Kārttika. It includes specific practices like offering libations and Arghya to Bhīṣma. This Vrata is noted for its difficulty; it includes the worship of Lord Hari, and the use of specific offerings like cowdung, honey, milk, and ghee for purification rituals. The observance of this Vrata brings immense spiritual benefits, including the eradication of sins and contentment for numerous births.

माधव-रावस्यात्मसमर्पणम् #२६२

Event occured on 1762-11-12 (gregorian).

On this day, to keep marATha unity and strength in the face of an ambitious nizAm, mAdhav rAv surrendered to his stupidly greedy uncle raghunAth rAv. The contrast between the two - whether in terms of ethics, capability or longevity is huge.

Context: He decided to wage a war against his uncle Raghunathrao on November 7, 1762. However, Madhavrao didn’t wish to battle against his own uncle and thus, proposed for a treaty. Raghunathrao agreed to sign the treaty with Madhavrao and asked him to move back to a non-attacking position. Madhavrao did so. However, Raghunathrao deceived Madhavrao. When the Maratha camp under Madhavrao was relaxed and unsuspecting of a battle, they were caught unawared as Raghunathrao attacked treacherously. Thus, Madhavrao was defeated in the Battle of Alegaon and on November 12, 1762 surrendered himself to Raghunathrao near Alegaon. After the surrender, Raghunathrao decided to control all the major decisions under the assistance of Sakharam Bapu. He also decided to befriend Nizam, but this proved to be a wrong masterplan as the Nizam slowly started infiltrating the zones of Maratha Empire. As time slipped by, Madhavrao pointed out the gravity of the situation to his uncle. Eventually on March 7, 1763 the Peshwas, once again under Madhavrao’s leadership, decided to attack Aurangabad to crush Nizam.

शुक्रेश्वर-पर्वत-जयः #३५७

Event occured on 1667-11-12 (gregorian). Julian date was converted to Gregorian in this reckoning.

Ahom ruler Chakradhvaja Singha (Supangmung, 1663-1670) recaptures Itakhuli (shukreshvara hill) and some other guvahATi garrissons from Mogol governor Sayed Firoj Khan. The enemy was chased down to the mouth of the Manaha river, the old boundary between Assam and Mughal India (prior to Mir Jumla’s campaign). On receiving the news of victory the king cried out-“It is now that I can eat my morsel of food with ease and pleasure”.

Background: Aurangzeb, after ascending on the throne of Delhi, ordered Mir Jumla to invade Cooch Behar and Assam and re-establish Mughal prestige in eastern India. The western Ahom kingdom was then rife with envy and resentment. So, in 1662 he had succeeded. King Jayadhvaja retreated to the hills, abandoning much treasure, later sent his daughter and niece to mogol harem. Chakradhwaj Singha, who succeeded him, was against any payment at all on principle. He shouted out from his throne: – “Death is preferable to a life of subordination to foreigners”. In 1665 the king summoned an assembly of his ministers and nobles and ordered them to adopt measures for expelling the Mughals from western Assam, adding—“My ancestors were never subordinate to any other people; and I for myself cannot remain under the vassalage of any foreign power. I am a descendant of the Heavenly King and how can I pay tribute to the wretched foreigners.”

तिरुवनन्तपुर-देवायतन-प्रवेश-घोषणा #८९

Event occured on 1935-11-12 (gregorian).

On this day, Maharaja Chithira Thirunal Balarama Varma of Travancore issued the Temple Entry Proclamation.

Context

Kerala is a rare state where caste discrimination actually led to conversion to abrahamist faiths because converts got more rights than low jAti-s. In other states, the primary factor in conversion was and remains selectively targetted allurements, supposed miracles and threats.

Vaikom Satyagraha protests sought equal rights of access in areas previously restricted to members of upper castes. The protests expanded to become a movement seeking rights of access to the interior of the temples themselves. Regent Maharani Sethu Lakshmi Bayi yielded partly - deferring to her minor nephew (who supposedly assured gAndhI on his own will).

Implementation

Chithira Thirunal signed the Proclamation on the eve of his 24th birthday in 1936. He was ably supported by his divAn Sachivottama Sir Chetput Pattabhiraman Ramaswami Iyer, who clarified that the decision was a result of his own free will and not the result of protests or advice; and carefully managed its acceptance and implementation.

Aftermath

The Travancore Temple Entry Proclamation did not have a serious influence in Cochin or British Malabar as the Maharajah of Cochin and the Zamorin were staunch opponents of temple entry for dalits. Even when universal temple entry was granted in 1947 the Cochin maharajah made an exemption in the bill so as to keep his family temple, “Sree Poornathrayeesha”, out of the purview of temple entry.
