  • Andromeda Galaxy Resembles Vishnu’s Disqus Slide show.

    This slideshow requires JavaScript.

     

    Explanation: A mere 2.5 million light-years away, the Andromeda Galaxy really is just next door as large galaxies go. So close, and spanning some 260,000 light-years, it took 11 different image fields from the Galaxy Evolution Explorer (GALEX) satellite’s telescope to produce this gorgeous portrait of the spiral galaxy in ultraviolet light. While its spiral arms stand out in visible light images of Andromeda (also known as M31), the arms look more like rings in the GALEX ultraviolet view, dominated by hot, young, massive stars. As sites of intense star formation, the rings have been interpreted as evidence Andromeda collided with its smaller neighboring elliptical galaxy M32 more than 200 million years ago. The large Andromeda galaxy and our own Milky Way are the dominant members of the local galaxy group.

    Rising as the Sun sets, tonight’s Full Moon could be hard to miss. Remarkably, its exact full phase (May 6 03:36 UT) will occur less than two minutes after it reaches perigee, the closest point to Earth in the Moon’s orbit, making it the largest Full Moon of 2012. The Full Perigee Moon will appear to be some 14 percent larger and 30 percent brighter than a Full Moon near apogee, the most distant point in the elliptical lunar orbit. In comparison, though, it will appear less than 1 percent larger and almost as bright as April’s Full Moon, captured in this telephoto image rising over suburban Fort Collins, Colorado, USA. For that lunation, Full Moon and perigee were about 21 hours apart. Of course, if you manage to miss May’s Full Perigee Moon, make a note on your calendar. Your next chance to see a Full Moon close to perigee, will be next year on June 23.

  • ‘Jayendrar Eloped with a Woman’ Madurai Adheenam, To sidetrack?

    Madurai Adheenam, a Joker who calls himself thus, flanked by sex tainted Nityananda, announced in a press Conference to-day that Jayendra Saraswati eloped with a woman in 1987 and the Madurai Adheenam got in touch with him at Thala Cauvery and the Sankara Mutt at Kanchipuram and he was responsible for making Jayendra Saraswati‘s  return to Kanchipuram.

    As one who had a ring side view of the events at Bangalore  I can categorically say that no woman was involved in the  1987 episode.

    Please read my blog ‘Kamakshi Gold.Jayendra Saraswati misappropriated”

    If at all any one was responsible for the return of Jayendrar to Kanchipuram it was the Tiruchi Swamigal of Kengeri,Bangalore.

    The tactic of Madurai Adheenam has to be understood by the fact that the Nityananda issue is slowly becoming a Religious cum casteist movement.

    Apart from the 17 Adheenams of the Saiva Mutts in Tamil Nadu , Kanchi Mutt has opposed the appointment of Nityananda, the Vellala Community is incensed that they hay have been overlooked for the Post of the Adheenam,the Madurai Adheenam Retrieval Committee is breathing down the Adheenam’s neck, a case is already filed in the Court, now the heirs of the Bhaskara Sethpathy, who donated huge tracts of land to Madurai Adheenam have disclosed that they will be moving the Court to reclaim the Donations made out to the Adheenam on the ground that the property donated is being misused and that they have donated it to the Adheenam on the basis of its flawless character and its Religious activities.

    It may be noted that the Sethupathys belong to the Thevar Community.

    Madurai Adheenams attempt to sully the name of Jayendrar is a ploy to pit Brahmins against Jayendrar and the other communities against  he Brahmins and side tack the issue from th Nityananda affair.

    Kanchi Mutt should file a case against this joker.

    It is worth noting that the Government pleader announced in the Court that as on date the Government has no intention of interfering in the Adheenam’s Affairs.

    It will, if it receives a complaint on the Adheenam’s Character, propriety or mismanagement of Funds, a sure indication that the Government is thinking on these lines.

    One has o look at the smirk and the roaring laughter at the Press meet by Nityananda.

    How we have degraded our Religion!

  • Jayendra Saraswati Misappropriated Kanchi Kamakshi Gold.

    Kanchi Kamakoti Mutt Jayendra Saraswati is caught up in a New Controversy over  missing Gold ,83 Kgs., belonging to Kamakshi Amman .

    Radhakrishnan ,Auditor of the Mutt had deposed in the Court that a committee under the Chairmanship of A.C.Muthaiah was formed in 2002 to refurbish the Kanchi Kamakshi Temple Vimana, of which Radhakrishnan was a member.

    Seventeen kilo- of Gold was collected and 83 kg were imported from abroad.

    Total one hundred kg was reported to be kept in locker.

    Jayendra Saraswati  is reported to have pressurised Radhakrishnan to hand over the Gold to Jayendra Sarawati.

    On Radha Krishnan’s refusal,Jayendra Saraswati was reported to have hired Dadas to attack Radha Krishnan,

    Jayendrar was reported to have grabbed the gold thereafter.

    Elaborating further Radha Krishnan stated that only 17 kg. was used for the temple and the balance 83 kgs.is missing.

    One has to await the  Court’s verdict.

    It may be mentioned that Jayendra Saraswati is facing criminal case in Puduchery for the murder of  Sankarara Raman a Mutt Employee.

    Another enquiry is on for his attempt to bribe the Judge who was trying his  case in Puduchery( read my blog on this)

    It may also be mentioned that Jayendra Saraswati left(I think that is the decent expression) a decade back with out the knowledge of Periyavar and caused incalculable hurt to Periyava,

    As one who had a ring side view of this sordid episode at Bangalore  and ThalaCauvery,  I was deeply embarrassed by the snide remarks of the Swamijis of Kailash Ashram, Bangalore about Kanchi Mutt.

    I could not answer anything as it was the Tiruchi Swamigal of Kailash Ashram who helped Jayendrar to get accommodation at Thalacauvery and he was one of the few people who urged Jayendrar to return to Kanchi Mutt and desist from hurting the Periyava.

    Why can’t Jayendra Saraswati perform his duty as an Ascetic of the  Kanchi Mutt?

    He seems to be doing every thing other than this,exceptng of course some publicity gimmicks.

    He can never go anywhere  near Periyava, but he can at least try not to hurt the Periyava even after his shedding His Mortal Frame.

    Kanchi Mutt’s Press Release .

    At the time of posting the original(being updated on March 13, 2013),the press release was not availabel to me.

    I am able to get it and am publishing it.

    1.Some explanations, to my mind, are not valid, like the one questioning why Ms.Anuradha rRmanan kept quiet for 12  years,as itself would make her a liar.

    I know her personally , she was a very pious woman dedicated to the Kanhchi Mutt.

    The case is pending on other issues, cell phone,Sankar Raman murder,etc.

    Let the Truth come out.

    The charge by Sankara Raman that 100 kgs of gold were imported to make a gold chariot for Kanchi Kamakshi deity. and only 35 kgs were used while the remaining went missing, was re-iterated by the police in the high court for probe.

    Here are the facts.

    Sri. Adi Sankarar Swarna Vimana Trust with registered office at VHS Campus, Chennai 600 113 was entrusted with the Gold cladding work of Sri Adi Sankarar Vimanam, Sri Kamakshi Ambal Vimanam and Simha Vahanam. The board of trustees of this trust comprised of eminent persons. The gold cladding work was done on copper sections by the conventional methods of beating gold strips into foils and pasting the gold foils over mercury base, heating and polishing. The entire gold plating work was completed and handed over to the authorities of Sri Kamakshi Ambal Devasthanam, Kanchipuram as per the details given below.

    The trust imported 85.31 kgs of Gold (and not 100 kgs as alleged) comprising of Gold bars 71.31 kgs, Biscuits 14.00 kgs.

    This was used as follows:
    1. Sri Adi Sankarar Vimanam 21.875 kgs
    2. Sri Kamakshi Ambal Vimanam – upper portion 5.996 kgs
    3. Sri Kamakshi Ambal Vimanam – lower portion 41.411 kgs
    4. Sri Kamakshi Ambal Kavacham 7.495 kgs
    5. Rajagopuram Kalasam 3.932 kgs
    6. Simha Vahanam 4.430 kgs
    Total 85.139 kgs

    The balance gold of 171 gms has been duly accounted.

    The full description of the various kanikkais together with the receipt numbers are recorded in the register maintained by the temple trust. These accounts have been verified by the HR&CE department of the government from time to time.

    Sankar Raman Issue.  ?!

    First. Sankara Raman was never an employee of the Mutt as it is made out to be. He was an employee of a temple in Kanchipuram at the time of his death. Sankara Raman wrote several letters to His Holiness over the last several years accusing the Swamiji and several others of various acts of omission and commission, to put it mildly.

    He marked copies of several of his letters to the CM, the leader of the opposition , HRCE Department and several other prominent citizens and devotees. Every one just ignored the letters as those of a disgruntled black mailer who was threatening to ‘expose’ the two Swamijis & The Mutt. These letters were being freely circulated by Sankara Raman. In one of his letters he claims that he was a man of average means and that ‘some kind hearted man’ was paying for the mass copying and postage of the letters.

    We cannot speculate as to why he was killed or who was involved. The only thing we believe unequivocally, is that His Holiness is being falsely implicated in this.

    9. Who is Radhakrishnan? What is his relationship with the Mutt? Why was he attacked? Who attacked him? Why is the Swamiji implicated in this?

    Radharishnan is a former associate of the Mutt, and has his own business. In 1994 when it was discovered that he was involved in a malicious defamation campaign against the Mutt, he was relieved of his services. He was one of the trustees of the Sri. Adi Sankara trust, for the golden chariot for Kamakshi Amman. The case about an attack on Radhakrishnan is 2 years and 3 months old. In the FIR filed in this case neither the Mutt nor Swamiji were mentioned.

    As far as I know no body attacks the Karachi;they point out information regarding the individuals.

    Being men of The Holy Order and one holds a position of Trust and representing a Great Religion, it is essential that the accusations are disproved, instead of pleading injured innocence.

    No body even dares to dream of leveling such a charge against the Periyavar.

    Accusing people of bad faith only confirms suspicions.

  • Attack On Ramayana. Dare You Write on Islam, Holy Koran

    The self-styled Rationalists , who

    offer garlands to dead people’ statues,

    celebrate dead persons’ birth days,

    believe in that Tamil is given by Lord Muruga/Siva’

    in Silappathikaaram, which deals with a  story as verifiable as Ramayana,

    who extol Thiruvalluvar and Thirukkural excluding the first ten Couplets of Thirukkural which praises God,

    believe that Kannagi burned Madurai by throwing one breast at the city of Madurai-ஒரு முலை இழந்த திருமா பத்தினி

    praise Kambar for his rendering of Ramayana in Tamil, sans Rama, and forgetting that Kambar wrote on what was written by Valmiki

    while the whole world is talking highly of the values found in the Ramayana, these people write to state that if Sita had stayed in

    Ravana‘s place for ten months, she should have lost her chastity( Annadurai in ‘Kambarasam’)
    people who formed a party because they could not hope to get a share of an elderly man’s property,

    are mostly people sans personal integrity, are corrupt-remember 2 G Scam,

    earn their livelihood by chanting the name of Tamil,

    admit their children in English Medium,

    pretend to hate Hindi, but falling at the feet of Delhi,

    murder for power and money,

    How does one react to them?

    If you believe in Tamil then it is equally Right in believing Ramayana.

    Do these people deny Nakkerar and his Thirumurukaatruppadai and Aatruppdai Noolkal?

    Do they deny Agathtiyam?

    Do they deny Bhakti Ilakkiyam?

    Do they deny the * Thinai Theivangal quoted by Tholkappiyam? Cheyon(Muruga),Mayon(Vishnu),Kotravai,Varuna?

    Do they at least know that there are Gods assigned by Tamil to each Geographical Entity?

    Do they know that the Mahabharata speaks highly of Tamil Culture and quote Tamil kings who participated in The Mahabharata war?

    Well, the Agenda is to make a fast buck by inciting passions.

    They have ruined the Tamils of Sri Lanka by talking non sense  and ran/are running away  when they face problems.

    These are the charlatans one should be beware.

    There is no necessity for any one else to destroy Tamil.

    These gentlemen will do nicely.

    It is a wonder that Tamil still lives despite these people.

    Noe coming to the issue on hand ,

    There is evidence that Rama destroyed the Bridge in some versions of Ramayana,Adhyatma Ramayanam

    What remains now is the remains.

    For Lord Rama‘s Date of Birth,Route taken by Rama-please read my blogs.

    Lord Rama’s existence is proved as also Tamil’ as  ‘கல்தோன்றி மண்தோன்றாக் காலத்தே முன்தோன்றி மூத்த குடி’

    Evidence abounds for both.

    To conclude read my head line for this Blog.

    ராமன் என்ற ஒருவன் இருந்தானா? பாலம் கட்டினானா? என்பது ஒரு பக்கம் இருக்கட்டும்.

    ராமன் கடவுள் அவதாரம் என்றால் அவன் எய்த அம்பு யார் யாரை யோ, எதை எதையோ, துளைத்து ச் சென்று, சீதை மீது இராவணன் கொண்ட ஆசையின் அணுக்களை எல்லாம் குத்திக் குதறி, மீண்டும் இராமனிடமே வந்து சேர்ந்தது என்று சொல்வதில் இந்துத்துவா வா திகளுக்கும், சுப்பிரமணிய சாமிக்கும், அதிமுக பொதுச் செ யலாளருக்கும், நம்பிக்கை இருக் குமேயானால், அந்த ராமன் பால த்தைக் காப்பாற்றிக் கொள்ள ராமனால் முடியாதா? ராமன் பாலத் தைக் காப்பாற்ற இந்த அற்பமானிடர்கள் யார் என்ற கேள்வி எழா தா?

    இன்னொரு கேள்வியும் இருக்கிறது. அவர்கள் நம்பும், ஆதாரம் காட்டும் அந்தப் புராண நம்பிக்கையின் அடிப்படையிலேயே கேட் கிறது அந்த இணையம்.

    ராமன் கட்டிய பாலத்தை அந்த ராமனே இடித்து விட்டான் என்று சேது புராணமே கூறுகிறதே. இத ற்கு என்ன பதில்?

    சேது புராணம் என்ன? கம்ப இராமா யணமே கூறுகிறதே. மீட்சிப் படல ம் 17 ஆவது பாடல் என்ன கூறுகி றது? என்பதை சுட்டிக்கா ட்டி,

    “மரக்கால் மியங்க வேண்டி
    வரிசிலைக் குதையாற்
    கூறித் தருக்கிய
    விடத்தினை”

    எனும் பாடலில் போர் முடிந்த பின்னர் ராமன் புஷ்பக விமா னத்தில் பறந்து செல்கையில் கடலில் அவ்விடத்து மரக்கல ங்கள் இனிது செல்லும் பொரு ட்டு தனது வில்லின் நுனியால், சேதுவை ராமனே உடைத்தார் என்று கம்பநாட்டாழ்வாரே சொன்ன பிறகு இந்த இந்துத் துவ வாதிகள் யார்?

    ஒன்றைப் பொதுமக்கள் புரிந்து கொள்ள வேண்டும். கடவுளும், மத மும், சாத்திரங்களும் மக்கள் நலனுக்கும், வளர்ச்சிக்கும் முட்டுக் கட்டையானது என்று தந்தை பெரியார் அவர்களின் கொள்கை களை திராவிடர் கழகம் பிரச்சாரம் செய்து கொண்டு வருகிறதே. அது எவ்வளவு பெரிய உண்மை என்பதற்கு ராமன் பாலத்தைக் கா ட்டி மக்கள் நலத் திட்டமான சேதுக் கால்வாய்த் திட்டத்தை முடக் குகிறார்களே இது ஒன்று போதாதா?
