  • Two Fingers Virginity Test For Six Year Brahmin Priest’s Daughter Chidambaram

    Two Fingers Virginity Test For Six Year Brahmin Priest’s Daughter Chidambaram

    Sanatana Dharma, Hinduism has unique practices. One such is the Priests in Hindu Temples. Though Vedas, the scriptures of Hinduism, advocate the worship of Formless Reality,called Nirguna Upasana also permits worship of Deities with Attributes, Qualities,called as Saguna Aradhana.There is no mention of collective worship or building of temples in the Vedas. The Building of temples and rules of worship came later through Agamas. Agamas lay down rules for building of temples and procedures to be followed in performing poojas in the temples.

    Those who perform these duties are called ,Archakas,Kurukkal,Bhattars,Poojaris,Pandits,Pandas… Strict rules are laid down for their lifestyle . They are ordained to carry out the duty of performing poojas in the temples. And this duty is hereditary.

    Of this lot, Brahmin Deekshitas( Priests of Chidambaram Nataraja Temple) are unique in that Sri Siva is reported to have declared that He is the Devotee of these Priests,..such is their Bhakthi and dedication.The Deekshitas have the distinction of Conducting and Crowning the Chozhas!None else is accorded this privilege.

    ‘

    The Dikshithars might be traced back to the first line of Brahmanas who migrated to South India from the north, this migration happened as the result of the increasing spread of Jainism and Buddhism in the North.The establishment of Mauryan, Satavahana and Kadamba rule in South India also necessitated the movement of Brahmans into the new regions because these kingdom required trained ritualists. They are mentioned in the 12th century work, the Periyapuranam of Sekkizhar. They were originally the ritual arbiters of imperial legitimacy in the Chola Empire, ritually crowning successive monarchs. This honour was reserved only for rulers belonging to the Chola dynasty. When Kutruva Nayanar, a chieftain of Kalandai became very powerful as a result of his conquests, he requested the 3000 of Tillai to crown him as king of the Chola country but they declined saying that they would only crown a Chola and instead fled to the Chera country to escape his wrath.[4]

    In order that he who conquered the world (Kutruvar) may not be bereft of a royal crown he requested the crowning services of the ancient three thousand servitor priests at Chidambaram (Thillai). Thereupon the priests refused the same saying that they are entitled to perform the ceremony only to the most deserving of the ancient clan of Sembiyars (Cholas). Having said this, they quit their dwelling to reach the hill country (Kerala) of the ancient Chera king.

    – Periyapuranam.

    The Dravidian parties have been targetting the Brahmin community and Hinduism, especially Temole administration. The Government has no locus standi, legally to enter or administer Temples, except in cases of proven malfeasance and under Court orders can only supervise or appoint a Fit person,The Government of Tamil Nadu has appointed Executive Officers to run the temple administration, which has been declared illegal by the High Court of Tamil Nadu.

    There are 33,000( Thirty three thousand) Temples in Tamil Nadu..

    The government has taken over all major temples.

    Now it is targetting the Chidambaram Nataraja Temple.This temple is being run by the Deekshitas traditionally. They have been fighting the case and the State Government has lost the case. To harass them, the HR& CE ministry of Tamil Nadu has been pressurising them to have the temple accounts audited by the department,which is not legal .The Deekshitas refused.

    To wreak vengeance on Deekshitars,the Government has picked up a child of six years stating under Child Marriages Act and conducted Two finger Virginity Test!

    The Deekshitas are an endogenous group and they marry only among their clan, numbering 3000.

    Now the news on this incident by the Governor of Tamil Nadu is below.

    ‘

    Regarding the two-finger test, Chandrashekhar said that the case was filed under Sections 16 and 17 of the Child Marriage Prohibition Act, with a maximum punishment of two years, and there was no need for an arrest.

    “In these cases, the Dikshitars were arrested, and several banned examinations were made on the children, which were banned by the Supreme Court and Madras High Court. Specifically, in one instance, Tamil Nadu Police exceeded and violated the law laid down by the Supreme Court and also by the High Court and conducted a two-finger test on a victim child, which was not necessary for this particular offense,” he alleged.

    Chandrashekhar said the police did so to convert the case and bring it under the Protection of Children from Sexual Offences (POCSO) Act. Chandrashekhar called it a case of human rights violation. https://www.myind.net/Home/viewArticle/ncpcr-orders-investigation-following-the-revelations-of-tn-governor-over-forced-virginity-test-on-underage-girls-of-dikshitar-families

    Two Fingers Virginity Test For Six Year Brahmin Girl

    As to be expected The Tamil Nadu Police chief has denied the report made by The Governor of Tamil Nadu.

    ‘

    The allegation in the media that due to vengeance, the Social Welfare department preferred a complaint against the Dikshitars and that two girls studying in class VI and VII were forcibly subjected to a two-finger test and also the latter attempted to commit suicide is contrary to truth,” the release said.

    Apparently referring to the remarks recently made on the issue by Tamil Nadu Governor R N Ravi in a section of media, the police release said of the affected four underage girls, two were sent for medical examination by a woman doctor. “But they were not subjected to a two-finger test as alleged. Also, it is false to say the two girls attempted suicide. No such incident happened,” the release further said. PTI JSP JSP KH.

    Nataraja,Shiva In Orion Constellation, Cave Arts As Hunter Kratha Shiva

    All civilizations have references to Celestial phenomena.

    The refer constellations,Milky way or some Zodiac signs.

    The Zodiac signs are alluded to Legends, Mythology and faith systems of a particular race or civilization.

    Some researchers have linked these concepts to UFO,Aliens, Ancient Space Technology.

    Thus we find sculptures, Petroglyphs ((Rock Art) Cave paintings of ancient sites unearthed.

    We have the Nazca Lines,Peru, Stonehenge in UK ,Cave arts in France, Germany,Tibet, Romania, Australia and in Karnataka,Tamil Nadu and other parts of India.

    We do find sculptures of this type in many temples of India,where one can find Astronaut costumes,UFO like sculptures.

    And unique to Hinduism is the fact that every event is marked ,referred to and linked to Celestial phenomenon.

    And many temples were built, aligned to Cosmic presence or constellations.

    These temples,or some of them are linked to Earth’s features like its Geomagnetic activity ot its centre.

    Gods in Hinduism are linked to celestial events..

    Nataraja Temple Chidambaram represents Supernova Explosion 1054 AD

    Now evidence has come to light that this Hunter Constellation,Orion,is found in the Petroglyphs in Tamil Nadu, especially in Narthamalai,Dindigul District,Tamil Nadu,India.

    These are found elsewhere in India.

    Will be writing on this.

    It is curious to note that Shiva legends in some form or other is present in all world civilizations.

    The Nazca Lines of Peru looks like Shiva’s Trishul.

    It also seems to be OM in Tamil Brahmi Script.

    Orion Constellation resembles Hunter.

    Lord Shiva is called Kratha,The Hunter and the only temple of Shiva as Kratha,The Hunter is in Kerala,India.

    This temple is for the son of Shiva.

    ‘

    After Lord Shiva granted the Pasupatha Astra to Arjuna, Lor Shiva and Parvathy had a son.

    He is worshiped as Vettukorumakan in Kerala and some parts of Tamil Nadu.

    Vettukorumakan, means son of Hunter.

    When one finds these references around the world, the Shiva presence around the world is more than a coincidence.
    And we have the Petroglyphs!
    ‘The Orion is a prominent Constellation located in the celestial equator and visible in the entire world. It is one of the most commonly visible and recognizable constellation.
    ..

    The distinctive pattern of Orion has been recognized in numerous cultures around the world, and many myths have been associated with it. It has also been used as a symbol in the modern world.
    At Narthamalai there is a Pictograph of a Hunter and other Pictographs of three different human figures as single group are drawn in white color. It is drawn on celling of the Shelter, which is underneath of a hill known as Aalurutimalai.
    Narthamalai is located at 10.51 degree N and 78.76 degree E. The Orion is clearly visible in the night sky from December to June,and it will raise at different location from east to west an altitude of + or – 10 degree with refer to celestial equator.

He has a sword hanging from his belt.” (* BimanBasu, The joy of star watching; 1999, Published by National book trust, India. P. 36.)

    “I am the Author of “The Orion Zone” and four more books on Archaeo-Astronomy, concentrating on the southwestern area of the United States. I have also have been featured on international radio interviews and on U.S. television programs.
    Since 1997, I have studied Orion and various man-made structures and Rock Art that represent this Constellation. All over the globe, Orion- pattern in the sky is frequently reproduced by certain megalithic constructions on the ground. (Mega- means “large” and lithic means “stone.”) In essence, the earth structures mirror the pattern in the sky.
    In addition, the rising and setting of Orion- stars are sometimes lined up with certain astronomical markers. Various cultural sites in Peru, Mesoamerica, North America, Great Britain, Ireland, Europe, Africa, and Egypt, along with other locations across the world, concentrate on this particular constellation with an archetypal intensity.
    Now we have a solid proof of the “Orion archetype” found in the pictographs (rock paintings) of Narthamalai, Tamil Nadu, dated to 1500 BC or earlier. Painted in white, a human figure is seen with the typical upraised right arm as well as the left arm holding either a shield or club or spear. Associated with this figure is a representation of two triangles with their apexes touching.
    This type of figure is also found in Rock Art of the Americas and Africa. In North America it signifies warfare between Native American tribes. For the Igbo tribe of Nigeria it signifies the Great Mother Goddess called Mbari. In India this double-triangle may represent the Female- Male complex. It may also represent the ‘hurglass drum’or ‘dumroo’,a two-headedsacred drum of Lord Shiva.

  • Large Hadron Collider CERN Designed After Nataraja Tandava?

    The information one gets  by searching the ancient concepts of Hinduism against modern scientific developments is amazing.

    I have written about the Nataraja statue being kept in the CERN facility ,Geneva Switzerland.

    Scroll down for Videos.

    … the tunnel’s section resembles the structure where Shiva is always depicted, doing his Anandatandava aka Cosmic Dance , Ananda Tandava.jpg … the tunnel’s section resembles the structure where Shiva is always depicted, doing his Anandatandava aka Cosmic Dance , Ananda Tandava.

    Why a statue of Nataraja has to be kept in a facility that has been set up to find the God particle, I have wondered.

    Sanskrit , Arabic Inscriptions in CERN .jpg Sanskrit , Arabic Inscriptions in CERN .

    But I forgot to pursue the matter further,

    It is to be noted that the CERN facility does not have a strong commitment to Indian Philosophy,  to have the Nataraja Statue installed at CERN.

    Shiva in front of CERN.jpg Hindu “god” SHIVA, right in front of the CERN building, (European Center for Research in Particle Physics) in Geneva. We know that scientists of world wide have been working on LHC development, including Indian scientists, but a 2m high statue of the most feared hindu deity EVER, in front of the LHC facility, seems too odd.

    On searching further I have come across information that the LHC may have been designed after Nataraja’s Ananda Tandava.

    Probably it is the scientists acknowledgement of the profound thoughts behind the principle of Nataraja concerning sub atomic particles.

    Text of the plaque kept next to Nataraja Statue.

    ‘

    Ananda K. Coomaraswamy, seeing beyond the unsurpassed rhythm, beauty, power and grace of the Nataraja, once wrote of it “It is the clearest image of the activity of God which any art or religion can boast of.”

    More recently, Fritjof Capra explained that “Modern physics has shown that the rhythm of creation and destruction is not only manifest in the turn of the seasons and in the birth and death of all living creatures, but is also the very essence of inorganic matter,” and that “For the modern physicists, then, Shiva’s dance is the dance of subatomic matter.”

    It is indeed as Capra concluded: “Hundreds of years ago, Indian artists created visual images of dancing Shivas in a beautiful series of bronzes. In our time, physicists have used the most advanced technology to portray the patterns of the cosmic dance. The metaphor of the cosmic dance thus unifies ancient mythology, religious art and modern physics.”

    There are one hundred Tandavas of Lord Shiva, as Nataraja.

    The Ananda Tandava is the Cosmic Dance of Bliss.

    ‘When Sati (first wife of Shiva, who was reborn as Parvati) jumped into the Agni Kunda (sacrificial fire) in Daksha’s Yajna and gave up her life, Shiva is said to have performed the Rudra Tandava to express his grief and anger. The Shivapradosha stotra says when Shiva performs theSandhya Tandava, the other gods like Brahma, Vishnu, Sarasvati, Lakshmi and Indra play musical instruments and sing Shiva’s praises.[4] Ganesha, the son of Shiva, is depicted as Ashtabhuja tandavsa nritya murtis (Eight armed form of Ganesha dancing the Tandava) in temple sculptures.[7] The Bhagavata Purana talks of Krishna dancing his Tandava on the head of the serpent Kaliya. According to Jain traditions, Indra is said to have performed the Tandava in honour of Rishabha (Jain tirthankar) on the latter’s birth.’

    ‘

    The LHC is a particle booster, built to beam up protons in very high speed and opposite directions, until they collide creating a huge amount of energy capable to reproduce similar cosmic conditions that have creating such phenomena as dark matter, antimatter and ultimately the creation of the universe billions of years ago. The scientist team keeps the beam up speed, between 3.5 and 7 TeV (Teraelectron Volts) to reach a collision energy around 90 times to over 500 TeV. They plan increase the speed of beam up around 12 TeV until 2012.

    Under the radar:

    1) According to Prof Irina Aref’eva and Dr Igor Volovich, both mathematical physicists at the Steklov Mathematical Institute in Moscow, the energies generated by the subatomic collisions in the LHC may be powerful enough to rip space-time itself, spawning wormholes.

    2) According to Fermilab director, Pier Oddone, 7 TeV of beam up speed could cause a collision with energy enough to reproduce to reproduce the conditions of the universe one second after the Big Bang. (Remember that the scientists want reach 12 Tev until 2012)

    3) According to a team of brainiac scientists as the Nobel physicist Frank Wilczek, the Astronomer Martin Rees, the physicist Adrian Kent of Cambridge, the space engineer Richard Wagner and the chemist and physicist Ph.D Otto Rossler, the LHC could “turning the planet into a smoking asteroid the size of a baseball park” or “to create a micro black hole swallowing the Earth from the core outwards, if not the sun”, through the generation of a huge amount of energy equivalent to a thermonuclear bomb per second…

    Above you see a statue of the Hindu “god” SHIVA, right in front of the CERN building, (European Center for Research in Particle Physics) in Geneva. We know that scientists of world wide have been working on LHC development, including Indian scientists, but a 2m high statue of the most feared hindu deity EVER, in front of the LHC facility, seems too odd…

    That’s weird… The pictures you  were taken within the LHC facility… Strange panels with ancient writings assembled onto a structure with some kind of blue beam light surrounding it,..

    that seems to be a movement sensor or something. They could be just fancy messages left by foreign scientists, representing their nations. Some panel seems ancient Mandarin, other some Arab characters, but one particular panel has very strange characters, that don’t seem nothing I’ve seen before and other panel has Sanskrit characters…

    This device is also linked to Osiris’s Device and Annunaki.(Osiris Ta-Wer)

    This can be traced to Shiva.

    I shall be writing on this.

  • Nataraja Chidambaram Represents Orion Super Nova Explosion 1054 AD

    The details that have been taken into account to construct a Temple in India of the olden days is amazing.

    These details reveal not only the depth of Devotin to the Deity/ies,but also the deep knowledge they had of the universe and its principles.

    Lord Nataraja.jpeg
    Lord Nataraja.

    The designs of these temples are narrated in the Agama sastra.

    Please refer my Posts on this.

    The Building of the halls, breaking them up into Praharas(outer Corridor),Mandapas(halls),Artha Mandapas( halls of half the measurement of the Mantapas),Pillared Halls, Sabha Mantapas and the Sanctum, Garbha Gruha…..

    all these follow either geological or magnetic , electromagnetic, astronomical principles or all of these put together.

    I shall be writing on these aspects of some great temples of India.

    I shall start with the Thillai Natarja temple, Chidambaram, Tamil Nadu, India.

    More than the well-known Temples, it is the less known temples which have astounding characteristics.

    I have written on some of these.

    For the present Let me concentrate on Nataraja, Chidambaram.

    Nataraja,a form of Shiva, temple in Chidambaram is one of the Pancha Bhutha Sthalas(,Earth, Water, Fire,Air and Ether)

    representing the Ether.

    There is Empty Space in the enclosure adjacent to Nataraja idol in the temple.

    Aarthi is performed to this Space after an Aarthi is offered to Nataraja.

    This empty Space reflects the Abstract principle Brahman, the Reality.

    Researches  have been conducted on this temple on various aspects, its construction, Roof, Pillars, Magnetic Radiation,

    Natarja’s Big Toe is presumed to represent the center of the universe.

    It is also stated that Lord Nataraja ‘s big toe is the Centre Point of World ‘s Magnetic Equator.

    Chidambaram ,Kanchipuram and Sri Kalahasti lie in a straight line at 79* 41 East Longitude.

    Curious as these happen to be among the Panchabhuta Sthalas, Places of Five Elements, Earth, Water, Fire, Air and Ether.

    The temple for water is in Thiruvanaikaval, fire is inThiruvannamalai , air is in Kalahasti ,  earth is  in  Kanchipuram  and The temple for space/sky is in Chidambaram.

    Earth is nestled between Sky/Ether/Space, Aakasa( Chidambaram) and Air,Vayu(Kalahasti).

    Earth is surrounded by Space and Air.

    Ans Vishnu’s Nabhi, Navel of Vishnu has been validated as the  Center of Our Galaxy.

    Read here.

    The Southern Cross and Canopus tally with Trishanku Swarga and Agasthya Star respectively.

    Hence I did not want to dismiss the point that Chidambaram being the Centre of earth’s /universe’s Magnetic field.”

    Research into the Idol of Lord Nataraja  scholars indicate and confirm that the Idll’s design represents the Crab super Nova Explosion of 1054 AD!

    ‘Although the Nataraja metal icon with right leg extended was regarded as a tenth century Chola innovation, this study suggested that two fine Nataraja bronzes previously classified as Chola better fitted the metallurgical profile of Pallava bronzes of about 800 AD (Srinivasan 2001, 2004). The likely worship of Nataraja by the Pallava period at Chidambaram with ideas of cosmic creation and destruction is suggested in Manikkavachakar’s Tiruvachakam, which says, ‘Let us praise the Dancer (kuttan) who in good Tillai’s hall dances with fire, who sports (vilaiyatu), creating, destroying, this heaven and earth and all else’ [Dehejia (2002: 103)]. For me, it has been rather lovely and apt, that what had not really been discerned by conventional art history had been revealed through the dance of science and its patterns of elemental and isotopic particles. …

    There seem to be astronomical connotations to the rituals associated with Nataraja worship at the Chidambaram temple. Arudra/Ardra darisanam is a ten-day annual festival in December related to the moon being full in the lunar asterism of the naksatra ardra (the reddish star Betelguese or Alpha Orionis), associated with the wrathful aspect of Siva. The constellation of Orion and surrounding stars is bathed in the soft glow of the full moon when it is high in the sky at Chidambaram. A thousand years ago, devoid of the present smog and light flares, the stars must have been even brighter in the tropical night sky.

    Another annual festival at Chidambaram, the Brahmotsavam of Ani Thirumanjanam, which is related to the lunar asterism of Uttara Nakshatra around June-July, seems to have begun in the mid-eleventh century from inscription. The Indian zodiac of 360 degrees is divided into 27 parts based on the moon’s sidereal period such that a nakshatra denotes the longitudinal position of the moon within 13 degrees 20 minutes. Thus, by using astronomical software, Dr. Raghavan could ascertain that in 1054 AD the moon would have been full in Uttara Nakshatra on 11 July. This is uncannily close to the date that Chinese astronomers recorded the crab supernova explosion of 4 July! Although this is a preliminary finding, it could suggest a perceived metaphoric link between an observed cosmic phenomenon and notions of cosmic dance.

    Indeed, a drawing from a Tamil manuscript sourced by Raja Deekshitar of Chidambaram shows how the Nataraja icon itself was probably traditionally visualized within the stars around Orion. In an exciting collaborative study with Dr. Raghavan, we took some photographs of Nataraja images dated from archaeometallurgical fingerprinting and plotted star charts for the constellation Orion of that corresponding era onto them. As reported in Orientations (Srinivasan, 2006), the star positions were found to a fair extent to correlate with iconometric design as noted in an image in the British Museum attributed from archaeometallurgical fingerprinting to the Pallava period (c. 800 AD). Moreover, the star chart for 1054 AD fitted well the iconometric design of a Nataraja image from Kankoduvanitham archaeometallurgically fingerprinted to the mid-eleventh century AD. Here, the hypothetical position of the crab supernova which exploded in 1054 AD lies near the top left of the head, close to the crescent moon. Chinese records suggest that the crab supernova came into view with a morning crescent moon near it and was visible for 23 days, being four times as bright as Venus. Even American Indians are believed to have made cave paintings of a supernova with a crescent moon. Could it be that the iconometric design of this icon had indeed taken into account the observation of
    the supernova explosion?

    At any rate, the above studies suggest scope for further investigation into the history of astronomy. No less than celebrated astronomer Carl Sagan suggested that the Nataraja imagery conveyed ‘a premonition of modern astronomical ideas’

    Read here.

    The Southern Cross and Canopus tally with Trishanku Swarga and Agasthya Star respectively.

    Hence I did not want to dismiss the point that Chidambaram being the Centre of earth’s /universe’s Magnetic field.

    A magnetic field is the magnetic effect of electric currents and magnetic materials. The magnetic field at any given point is specified by both a direction and a magnitude (or strength); as such it is a vector field.[nb 1] The term is used for two distinct but closely related fields denoted by the symbols B and H, where H is measured in units of amperes per meter (symbol: A·m−1 or A/m) in the SI. B is measured in teslas (symbol:T) and newtons per meter per ampere (symbol: N·m−1·A−1 or N/(m·A)) in the SI. B is most commonly defined in terms of the Lorentz force it exerts on moving electric charges.

    Magnetic fields can be produced by moving electric charges and the intrinsic magnetic moments of elementary particles associated with a fundamental quantum property, their spin.[1][2] In special relativity, electric and magnetic fields are two interrelated aspects of a single object, called the electromagnetic tensor; the split of this tensor into electric and magnetic fields depends on the relative velocity of the observer and charge. In quantum physics, the electromagnetic field is quantized and electromagnetic interactions result from the exchange of photons…(http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Magnetic_field)

    Magnetic Equator.

    Magnetic dip results from the tendency of a magnet to align itself with lines of force. As the Earth’s magnetic lines of force are not parallel to the surface, the north end of a compass needle will point downward in the northern hemisphere (positive dip) or upward in the southern hemisphere (negative dip). The range of dip is from −90 degrees (at the South Magnetic Pole) to +90 degrees (at the North Magnetic Pole). Contour lines along which the dip measured at the Earth’s surface is equal are referred to as isoclinic lines. The locus of the points having zero dip is called the magnetic equator or aclinic line.’

    And Shiva personifies Motion and Rhythm as expressed in His Cosmic Dance.

    Can there be any link?

    I found that Equatorial Geophysical Research Laboratory (EGRL), the regional centre of IIG, is at Thirunelveli  because,

    ‘ Situated close to the magnetic equator (the dip angle being 1.75oN) (8.7oN, 77.8oE geographic) over an area of more than 35 acres near the village, Krishnapuram, the Centre was intended to house multi-disciplinary experiments for the measurements of electric and magnetic fields originating in the near-Earth environment.’

    Now the coordinates of Thirunelveli is 8.73°N 77.7°E, 2 * dfference from Chidambaram  at  79* 41 East Longitude.

    I surmise that there is some truth in the statement that Chidambaram being the Centre of Magnetic Field.

    This needs verification.

    To who assert Magnetic Fields do not have Equator..

    I am reproducing a study on this subject.

    Note that there is an an Anamoly in SE Asia .

    One might remeber that the present location of the South and for that matter the Indian Sub Continent was further down south about 255 Millin years ago.

    And the present Chidambaram might have been located there.

    I am investigating.

    ‘Southeastern Asia region. This means the magnetic field is unexpectedly strong there compared to the magnetic fields measured over the rest of the earth’s surface. The following diagram shows these anomalies. Blue indicates weaker magnetic field strength; the darkest blue regions identify the SAA. Orange indicates stronger magnetic field strength; the maximum field strength along the magnetic equator lies in the greenish area over SE Asia—this is the area of the SE Asian anomaly.
