‘God Sweats’ On A Specific Day, Time

I have posted a couple of blogs on odd unexplainable Phenomena in Temples of India.

Temples are places where Hindus worship, though it is not mentioned in the Vedas.

In fact the Vedas do not advocate collective worship at all.

This practice came into being after the advent of the Agamas.

For details on this subject please read my posts on Agamas under Hinduism,Indian Philosophy.

Hinduism is intertwined with the lives of the Hindus to such an extent that even many who are Hindus do not know that they are practicing what Hinduism said without realizing it.

Islam and Christianity have adapted themselves to Hindu thought processes in some respects.

Christians call The Bible, in Tamil Nadu, Vedagamam; women apply stickers in their foreheads(Kungumam, Tilak);wear Mangal Sutra;

Churches like Shrine Velankanni celebrate their Christian festivals with Dwajarohanam and pulling of chariots.

Muslims in Tamil Nadu also follow the practice of Dwajarohanam and Chariot pulling (Nagore Dargah Chandana Kood(Sandal Canopy Festival)

Such is magnetism of Hinduism that Human beings apply all attributes of Man to God.

One becomes tense and sweats in anger and Righteous Indignation.

This one notices.

In God?

Yes.

There is a Temple near Tiruvarur/Nagapattinam , Tamil Nadu, where the Lord Subramanya Sweats !

Legend has it that he was handed over A Spear by Mother Goddess Parvati, to slay the Demon Soora Padma.

Amidst the Festivities of Kandashasti, Parvati hands over the Spear)Vel) to Lord Sinagra SingaraVelar, when Sweat Beads breaks out on the forehead of the Idol that has been taken out in procession!

Incidentally, The Idol is the most beautiful of all the idols of Lord Muruga.

Voice Of God ,Deivathin Kural Periyava On Dowry Video

Kanchi Periyava, Maha Periyava discoursed on various subjects ranging from Vinayagar, Vedas,Vedangas, Advaita Linguistics,Literature,Guru to current and controversial topics like Dowry.

These have been complied by Ra.Ganapathy in his Book 'தெய்வத்தின் குரல் '

I have posted this.(text)

Now audio version with rare photos and Videos of Kanchi Periyavar have come out.

In this post I am reproducing some videos where Periyava speaks on .Dowry' the evil practice of accepting money from the Bride's parents.

According to Sastras, in the earlier days, the bridegrooms paid money .

'Vara Dakshinai' in Sanskrit, which originally meant 'that which is paid by the Vara(bride groom' was later misinterpreted as ' the one paid by the Girl'!

Periyava explains this concept and condemns this practice with authority in his inimitable earthy style devoid of jargons.

Watch.
