During Shiv Pooja By Shri Kashyap Shastri IN Kutch , Gujarat. Suddenly a Snake Entered the Temple And Sat Near The Shivlinga . The People witnessing this were really amazed.
I Posted an image showing a Snake performing Archana with Bilva Leaves in Thepperumanallur ,Thanjavur District in 2010/12.
Abnormal sexual Behavior, Taboos, Fratricide, Matricides, Patricides galore, to cite a few incidents from their History, explains it all.
At the beginning of the chronicle (see History of Sri Lanka) the King of Banga (Bengal) is married to the daughter of the King of Kalinga. Their daughter, Suppadevi, was not only ‘very fair and very amorous’, but was also prophesied to consummate a ‘union with the King of beasts‘[5] – in the Mahavamsa, a lion.
Mahavamsa
When this duly happened, she gave birth to two children – Sinhabahu and Sinhasivali. ‘Sinhabahu’ means ‘lion-armed’ and the young prince himself is described as having ‘hands and feet…formed like a lion’s’.[5]
The family lived together in the lion’s cave, blocked in by a large rock the lion had placed to prevent their exit.
Eventually, however, Suppadevi and her two children flee the cave.
Later Sinhabahu kills his father with an arrow.
Tamil Women raped and Killed Sri Lanka.
Then, marrying his sister, he establishes a kingdom based on a city called Singhapur. Sinhasivali bears him a series of twins; their eldest child is named Vijaya, and his younger twin brother Sumitta
. However, a critical twist and serious study by scholars and researchers with further references suggest that the King of Sinhpur/Sinhapura ( Sihor ), region’s very ancient telltales and references about Prince Vijaya, his exile, his route, are the ones which connect strongly to the History of Sri Lanka and Sinhala/Sinhalese people and culture.
Vijaya is described as indulging in ‘evil conduct, and his followers were…(like himself), and many intolerable deeds of violence were done by them’.
So antisocial were his activities that the people of the kingdom eventually demanded that the (now aging) King Sinhabahu have him executed.[5]
Instead Sinhabhu had half their heads shaved (a sign of disgrace) and exiled Vijaya with his followers, their wives and children, from the kingdom – traditionally said to number a total of 700 souls. After resting in several places they are found to be hostile, and the wayward prince and his associates eventually ‘landed in Lanka, in the region called ‘Tambapanni.[5]
Later research by Sinhala linguist W.S. Karunatillake supports the hypothesis that the Sinhalese originated in the Eastern India and that many words (over 50%) resemble Bengali language.[6]
At the same time, the fact can not be denied for it was rise and origin of sub languages from Sanskrit in the times of Middle India where a great volume of syntax and material were common to all the newly emerging Indian Languages.
And yet they were few at that time. This is to ask for a serious comparison and conclusion for Prince Vijaya’s origin, whether it was from Singhpur, Kalinga or it was from Sihor, Gujarat, despite references weigh more in favor of Vijaya’s origin to lower Indus, and Sihor, which was officially known as Sinhapur in Kathiawar peninsula in ancient times.
Another critical point of observation is that, the last and, now only home to Asiatic Lions (locally referred as ‘Sinh’ or ‘Sinha’) is Gir Forest falls under Kathiawar peninsula in Gujarat and approach to core Gir territory is just some miles away from Sihor. In fact, till date as in year 2011, Lions are sighted in rural areas adjoining Sihor.
The author of I is Mahanama, of II.1, Dhammakitti,
of II. 3, Sumangala ;the author of II. 2 is unknown. I need not say that, if we try to inquire into
the question of the trustworthiness of the chronicle,
each part must be treated separately. As to the first
part (chs. 1--37,50) I shall confine myself to a few
remarks, as the matter has been fully dealt with in
the Introduction to my translation of the poem.(1) 1. There is a good number of fables, legends and
tales of marvels in the Mahavamsa, and we must in
each particular case attempt to find out whether
there is in the narrative an historical kernel or
not....

‘Idli (and the process of steaming) was known in India by as early as 700 CE. The process of steaming was influenced from Indonesia subsequently between 800-1200 CE, giving rise to the modern-day Idli.(Wiki)
This famous south Indian Delicacy has attracted a lot of controversy.
There is a serious contention between Tamil Nadu and Karnataka as to who can lay claim to the invention of Idli.
Idli
Karnataka origin Vaddaradhane by Shivakoti Acarya ( Rashtrakoota times)of the 10th century names Iddalige ( Idli ), Holige (Poli) and Savige ( Vermicelli). The 12th century encyclopedia Manasollaasa of Somashekhara Ballala III (Kalyani Chalukya) is a veritable treasure house of recipes and cooking styles. Lets not forget that these were empires with catholic tastes and wide trading hinterlands.
This has been reported by King Homeswara around 1000 AD and only Black Ural Dal was used;it was soaked in buttermilk.
Only the 17th Century Rice was added into the Recipe.
“‘iddalige’, first mentioned in a Kannada work Vaddaradhane of Sivakotyacharya in 920 AD. The Sanskrit Manasollasa of 1130 AD has ‘iddarika’. Tamil apparently only first mentions ‘itali’ in the 17th century.”
There is also an Indonesian Twist.
‘Acharya notes:the use of rice grits along with urad dhal,the long fermentation of the mix, and the steaming of the batter to fluffiness. Only after 1250 AD are there references to what seem to be idlis as we know them. Achaya’s contention is that this absence from the historical record could mean that idlis are an imported concept — perhaps from Indonesia which has a long tradition of fermented products, like tempeh (fermented soy cakes), kecap (from where we get ketchup) or something called kedli, which Achaya says, is like an idli. This is plausible enough given the many links between Southeast Asia and South India, through rulers and traders. Acharyra also adds many legendary stories ,but there is no basis for them. When we look forward to literary evidences in Indian literature , Acharya does not give any in Indonesia.
Heuan tsang says no steaming vessels south india in seventh century.But steaming vessels are not required for steaming dishes , steam can be produced using cloth over the vessel, still this method is used in south India.’
Gujarati origin
Gujarat have IDADA which is steamed dhokla made from same ingredients as Idly.Namely Urad dhaal and Rice which are fermented overnight and next day steamed.Gujarathis claim Idaly is a dish which came to south from Gujarat during 10/12th century AD.when lot of silk weavers from saurashtra came to south via Maharashtra.The dukkia is first mentioned in AD 1068 in Gujurathi Jain literature, and dhokla appears in AD 1520 in the Varanaka Samuchaya. Besan flour is fermented overnight with curd, and steamed in slabs which are then cut into pieces and dressed with fresh coriander leaves, fried mustard seeds and coconut shreds. A coarser version is khaman and both are popular breakfast and snack foods in Gujurat. But we have to note that Gujart was ruled by chalukyas and Rastrakutas for many centuries before that and Idada may be from iddalige. Since we dont find references to that before that.’
‘Tulu and kannada dishes
Many old words appearing in the Vaddaradhane,but extint now in modern Kannada, are existing still in Tulu even now.Like “muttukadi”,”baikam”(Baikampadi) etc. Hale(Old) Kannada and Tulu shared many words. They also should have shared rice dishes like iddli(<-iddalige). We are handicapped by the absence of Tulu texts dating back to 10th C. AD or older ones.Compare this with the numerous leaf based steam cooked Tulu rice dishes similar to iddli in technology.However it is difficult to trace the antiquity of these leaf-wraped precursors of iddlis. Since,leafy vessels are more primitive designs than the more modern iddli cooking vessels, Tulu disheslike moode,gunda,kotte etc., can be said to be actual ancestors of the modern iddlis.’
So in terms of Date Karnataka is the Inventor of Idli and Not Tamil Nadu.

In the wake of allegations of shadow individuals fronting BJP Gadkari’s Company,the RSS confirmed its support of Gadkari when the report of Kejriwal surfaced by a terse statement that’ there is nothing for the RSS to say ,Gadkari has agreed for a probe.
Now RSS ideologue Gurumurthy who is reported to have conducted an audit into the allegations against Gadkari has stated.
BJP chief Nitin Gadkari should choose between his party post and his love for social enterprise to avoid conflict and embarrassment to the party in future even as he said he stood by the “legal and moral” clean chit he gave to Gadkari last week in connection with his alleged improper business deals.
“I personally feel that no party president should be in business as that always invites problem and creates perception,” Gurumurthy said in a series of tweets.
“I care very little whether Nitin remains president or not,” he tweeted, adding that his audit of Gadkari’s controversial businesses was done in good faith.
Last week, the findings of Gurumurthy’s audit were used by the BJP to reaffirm its faith in Gadkari and quell the murmurs of dissent against him. On Tuesday, Gurumurthy seemed to be indicating that even though he had found Gadkari not to be in the wrong in connection with the allegations that surfaced in the media, the “perception” that has stuck with him is a “political problem” the BJP should deal with.”
It is glaring that the constitution of the Companies that ploughed in funds into Gadkari’s Company are shady.
The Sangh Parivar and BJP denied on Monday that GujaratChief MinisterNarendra Modi had a hand in encouraging the allegations that BJP chief Nitin Gadkari was involved in improper business practices.
RSS veteran M G Vaidya fanned the perception of a power struggle within the BJP with his remarks on Sunday in a Marathi blog that the “needle of suspicion in the campaign against Gadkari points to Modi”. Both the Sangh and BJP rejected the “insinuation” Monday; Gadkari himself issued a statement saying the claim was “totally unfounded”.
“The BJP completely rejects such insinuation,” Gadkari said, referring to Vaidya as a “senior journalist” and avoiding reference to his association with the RSS altogether. “All central leaders of the party and its chief minister have been working cohesively and unitedly for the cause of the party.
We are fighting the Gujarat assembly elections with complete unity of purpose and total mutual confidence,” he added.
The biggest mystery of Narendra Modi’s life is his relationship status. The world knows him as a ‘bachelor’ but it has been contested by some of his critics who point out that he was once married to ‘Jashodaben’. A magazine published a story in 2009 that claimed Jashodaben to be Modi’s wife. The fact that Modi never contested the facts of the story gives credence to the content of the article. The woman in question is a school teacher and lives in Rajosana village of Banaskantha district. She is said to be married when she was 18. She had studied up to class VIIII only and that is supposed to have spoiled their relationship. It is said that Jashodaben does not like to be photographed as she believes she is not good looking. Not only this, she is conscious of Modi’s high position and does not want to create any embarrassment to Modi although she is hopeful that someday Modi will come to her and publicly accept her as his wife.
Narendra Modi is a patriot since childhood. During Indo-Pak war of 1965, Modi, as a 15 year old boy, volunteered to serve the soldiers in transit at the railway stations. Similarly, in 1967 at an age of 17 years, he served the flood affected people of Gujarat.
Modi was born in an OBC family of grocers in Vadnagar of Gujarat. Modi wanted to become a sanyasi when he was a child. In fact, he was always fascinated with Sadhus, different forms of worship and meditation. He ran away from home after completing his school education. He visited many places including Ramkrishna Ashram of Belur in West Bengal. Finally, he reached Himalayas and wandered aimlessly and stayed with unknown but yogic Sadhus for months.
After returning from Himalayas, Modi ran a tea stall with his brother at the State Transport Office in Ahmedabad. Modi sold tea for many years. That was the time when Modi learnt what hardship really meant. It made him more determined and resolute in his approach towards life.
Modi with his Mother.
Narendra Modi is very particular about his appearance in public. He prefers trimmed beard and hair. As for his clothes, his favourite cloth store used to be Jade Blue of Ahmedabad. He ensures that he looks elegant whenever he moves out.
Narendra Modi has done a three-month course in US on public relations and image management. This could be one reason why he has succeeded in positioning himself as one of the most affable and sought after politicians in India.
Narendra Modi adores his mother and never forgets to take her blessings whenever he undertakes any new initiative- political or otherwise. In fact, she is his only closest relation. He has got all traditional virtues of an Indian man. He is a teetotaler. He doesn’t drink, doesn’t smoke. He is a complete vegetarian. In nut-shell, he is miles away from even minor vices.
Women all over India and cutting over age bracket adore Modi. In his home state, he is seen as a sex symbol among women. A close look at his public meetings makes it abundantly clear that women outnumber men among attendees. Analysts say this is mainly because of his emperor like image exuding absolute power and authority.
Modi is a prolific writer and poet.He writes in Gujarati language and his favourite topics include life and teachings of Hindutva icons. Narendra Modi is a big fan of Swami Vivekananda. His most recent election campaign was christened as ‘Vivekanand Yuva Vikas Yatra’.
Narendra Modi is not liked by the sister organisations of BJP like ‘VHP’ and ‘Bajrang Dal’. The hatred is so intense that ‘sangh parivar’ outfits are said to be working tirelessly to overthrow his government in upcoming assembly elections.
