  • Unique Roof Stone Drips Water on Shiva Linga 24 Minutes Thittai

    There are some astounding features in Indian temples.

    The construction of a temple is very complex and it hs to follow well laid norms in the Agama Sastra.

    In addition to this , many temples have special features.

    Idols growing.

    Idol which feels like Human at our touch.

    Shadow of the roof of the temple falling in its base(Thanjavur)

    The list is endless.

    Please read my posts on what is listed above and for more.

    Now there is a Temple in Thittai near Thiruvarur, Tamil Nadu, India, where a special stone called Surya/Chandra Kanthakal( Sun, Moon Stones) is fixed in the Vimana,roof of the temple over the Garbha Gruha.

    This stone absorbs moisture from the atmosphere and drips water on the Shiva Linga once in 24 Minutes.( Half Muhurtha)

    Vasishteswarar temple is situated in the village “Thittai” near Thanjavur.

    As the village is situated south of the Cauvery river, it is also called “Thenkudi Thittai”.

    The presiding deity is Swayambootheswarar and the Goddess, Ulaganayaki. As the main deity is a Swayambu Lingam he got the name “Swayambootheswarar”.

    The main deity is also called as Vasishteswarar as he was worshipped here by Saint Vasishtar.

    The unique feature of this temple is that a drop of water falls on the Shiva linga every 24 minutes from the ceiling.

    This is because of a very special stone called Chandrakanth kept on the roof.

    This stone absorbs moisture from the surrounding air and converts into a drop of water.

    This temple attracts huge crowds because of the above stone as well the presence of the temple for Raja Dakshinamoorthy.

    “Thittai”, the name of the village means “Thittu” in Tamil, (i-e) a Mound.

    When the whole world was surrounded by water because of “Pralayam”, Brahma & Vishnu worshipped the Lord Maheshara for protection. After wandering much for a safe place, they found this only mound, which did not drown in the Pralaya waters, where there was a Shiva Lingam.

    They performed Pooja to the Lingam and worshipped Lord Shiva, who appeared before them and delegated their duties of Creation and Protection.

    It is believed that this is the only place, which was not destroyed even during Pralayam( Dissolution of the Universe)

    Unlike many other temples, here the complete temple is built using the stone. Not only for the main deities, but also all other Sannidhi’s are constructed using stones, right from floors, pillars, walls and roof.

     

    *Two stones “Suryagaanthakkal” and “Chandragaanthakkal” which are placed at strategic points above the Vimana are the reasons for the droplets of water which falls on the deity.

    These 2 stones absorb moisture from the atmosphere, convert into 1 water droplet, performing a natural Abhishegam to the deity, every 24 minutes (1 Naazhigai), be it the day or night.

    A small piece of yellow cloth (Dhothi) which covers the Lingam is always wet because of this. If one can wait patiently, they can view this amazing act.

    The temple tank situated opposite the temple is called “Chakra Theertham” which is believed that it was created by the Chakra from the hands of Mahavishnu.

     

    The Goddess is called Ulaganayagi. It is said that a Vaisya girl got back her dead husband after worshipping Ulaganayagi.

  • Where Shiva Sacrificed Moon Chandra Mouleeswara Chandanbadi

    There is dearth of information about Shiva as Chandramouleswara.

    I came to know of Chandramouleeswara, when I was ver young, during the visit of Sringeri Jagadguru His Holiness Abhinava Vidya Theertha Swamigal, Sri Sringeri Sarada Mutt, to my Home at Srivilliputhur.

    The name was quite different and many did not know much about it.

    Shiva as Chandramouleeswara.

    Shiva without Moon on the Forehead.jpg Shiva without Moon on the Forehead.

    Our Puranas have it that Lord Shiva sacrificed Moon, Chandra from His Head on His journey to Amarnath.

    And the Moon awaited His return.

    This place is Chandanpadi, Jammmu & Kashmir, on the way to Amarnath.

    “the next place after Pahalgam is Chandanbadi. It is 16 kms from Pahalgam. According to beliefs, Lord Shiva did a very unique thing here. Also known as Chandramauli, Lord Shiva sacrificed the moon from his head here. The moon then waited for Lord Shiva to return here. This is how the name of this place became Chandanbadi’.

    Scroll down for Sivasarana Chandra Mouli Stotra.

    Chandanbadi, Pahalgam.jpg Chandanbadi, Pahalgam.

    How To reach Chandanbadi.

    Situated 16-km from Pahalgam, Chandanwari is the starting point of the Amarnath Yatra, which takes place every year in the month of Sawan (Rain). It is famous for snow sledging on a snow bridge.Taxi cabs can be hired from Pahalgam for a roundtrip. The trip takes about four-five hours on a semi-road that has the Lidder river meandering on the one side, and lofty, snow-capped mountains on the other. Some people prefer to do a day hike to Chandanwari.At Chandanwari, the Sheeshnag river is captivating with its sheer force and clear waters. You can get an opportunity to do sledge riding and get up to some heights, upto the fifth point which is also a route that yatris take to reach the Amarnath Cave. “Snow fights” is what people generally indulge in here before they sledge back down. Many prefer to sip a cup of tea of snack at the near by dhabas.Hajan, on the way to Chandanwari is an idyllic spot for a picnic. Filmgoers will recognize it instantly as it has been the location of several movie scenes.”Betaab Valley” is the place where they shot the famous scenes from movie Betaab.

    Chandanwari is also known for its natural attractions. It has some of the best picnic spots and is reachable by road. Mini buses operate from Pahalgam to Chandanwari. The weather can be very unpredictable at the place so do carry some warm clothes and rain coats as well.

    • Special Features : The Pony ride and the Palanquin rides are a must do however, if you do like trekking then a walk to the caves is a must do. The place is also famous for its picnic spots and its natural beauty.
    • Connectivity : The place is connected by road however, to go up to the caves you need to either walk or take a pony ride or a Palanquin ride.

    There is a Temple near Unkal circle and Unkal Lake on Old NH4 between Hubli and Dharwad.

    Chandramouleshwar is a 900-year-old temple from the Badami Chalukyan era. It was built on the lines of Badami, Aihole and Pattadakaltemples, is a Monument of National Importance, and is designated as a Protected Monument under the Ancient Monuments and Archaeological Sites (Act (1958)) by Archaeological Survey of India (ASI).

    • Unlike other Shiva temples in the North Karnataka region, the Chandramouleshwar Temple has four doors in as many directions, altogether accounting for twelve doors in the temple besides two Shivalingams and two Naandi statutes at the entrance. One of the two lingams is the ‘Chaturmukha Lingam’, a four-faced Shiva lingam, which is the speciality of the temple.

  • 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’

  • India In Antarctic Circle Daksha Underground Tunnel Antarctica?

    While searching for information on the spread of Sanatana Dharma throughout the world , I come cross, at times, very strange information that seems to contradict our Knowledge of things and they even looked idiotic.

    Now I have received information from a  source in the US, who does want to be identified, about an Underground Tunnel in Antarctic,

    with Map Co ordinates.

    Underground Tunnel in Antarctic?jpg
    Underground Tunnel in Antarctic?

    The Tunnel entrance is visible.

    I am aware that people would call this  glacier or an Ice formation.

    But there are some facts worth mentioning.

    India was near the Antarctic Circle about 255 Million Years ago.

    ”

    Geological survey reveals that the continents move constantly. Early on there was one large continent called Pangaea which later on split into two parts; Northern Pangaea (North America and Eurasia) commonly called as Laurasia and  Southern Pangaea (South America, Africa, India , Antarctica, and Australia ) which was called as Gondwanaland. After Pangaea split, Laurasia drifted northward and Gondwanaland drifted southward with the Indian sub-continent closer to the South Pole. The presence of divergent plate boundaries found in the middle of oceans or in the middle of a continent is proof of the existence of the large continent Pangaea. As the fragmented land masses moved away from each other sea water filled up the split and the continents as we know them now were formed. Ice age in Indian subcontinent and North America could be explained if these continents had been inside the polar or circumpolar zone; this would have happened when the Indian sub-continent was part of Gondwanaland. The Indian Sub-Continent was very near the South Pole and was inside the present Antarctic Circle. Refer to the following websites.

    http://www.thehindu.com/news/states/tamil-nadu/article2094202.ece  Indian Subcontinent was near South Pole.

    http://www.atlas.keystone.edu/research/geology/03HistoricalGeology.htm

    It is confirmed that the Indian Sub-continent was close to the South Pole during the Late Permian period which was around 255 MYA ago. There are many Rig Vedic hymns that describe the duration of day and night in the Polar regions. There are also hymns to describe the Polar dawn and other conditions that are unique to the Polar region. A question to explore would be, are the hymns referring to the period when Indian sub-continent was inside the Antarctic Circle or has there been a time in history when the Indian sub-continent was indeed inside the Arctic circle? Could it also be that the Indian sub-continent was inside the Antarctic Circle but there had been a 180 Deg flip in the poles with Antarctica situated at/near the North Pole? Science tells us that a 180 Deg flip in the poles is quite possible. Please refer  the following websites.

    http://istp.gsfc.nasa.gov/earthmag/reversal.htm

    http://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2011/11/111130171105.htm

    http://www.crawford2000.co.uk/mag.htm

    In summary, the Rig Vedic hymns which we will examine tomorrow might be referring to a remote point in history when the Indian sub-continent had been inside/near the Polar Regions. If we take it to be referring to the time when the Indian sub-continent was near the South Pole, we get the date for the Vedas in millions of years (Permian period – 255 MYA).  Either the Vedic Hymns are eye witness accounts of Polar conditions or geological studies were advanced enough during the Vedic period to have been able to explore the Polar Regions.

    I shall be writing on the Polar Days and Nights as described in the Vedas.

    Now to the tunnel.

    1.Thiruvannamalai in Tamil Nadu, South India is about 3 Billion years old.

    2.Tirupati, also in South India is 2100 Million years old.

    3.Ancient Tamil site of advanced civilisation dated a Million Years is in Chennai, also in south.

    4.Jwalapuram in Kurnool , which is about a Million years old is in Andhra Pradesh, also in the South Of India.

    5.Vaiwasvatha Manu(Satyavrata Manu) was from the South.

    6.Daksha Prajapathi is from the south.

    7.Shiva was worshiped in the South much before the Vedas period.

    8.While one can find the Patala Loka reference in Hinduism tallying with the presence of Mayan , Incas Civilisations and artifacts found in the US, Central Americas support the Patala Loka of Hinduism( Please read my post on these), there is a dearth of materail on this issue.

    9.Refernces are found scattered in the Puranas about the three Patala Lokas.

    10.Arctic being one of hte Patalas, can Antarctic be the other?

    11.Considering the worship of Shiva in the  South preceding the Vedic Texts, the presence of temples and Hills in the South relating to the older periods, The presence of Agastya in the South, Tamil worship of Shiva and Subrahmanyaaas Murugan as predominat deities, probable that the Antarctic could have been the place for Daksha( though this contradicts Himalaya Dakshaand Dakshyayani(Sati) where he hid from Veerabhadra, who was created by Shiva to destroy Dasha Yagnya?

    I have been forced to form a theory on these lines as there are more than One Daksha(he changes in every Manavatara) and there is a Temple in Kerala, Southern Tip of India where Daksha Yagnya is celebrated even today (Please read my Post on this)

  • Maths DNA Mitochondrial Base Pairs In Chamakam Rudram

    Maths DNA Mitochondrial Base Pairs In Chamakam Rudram

    Sri Rudram is a powerful Mantra, where Lord Shiva is worshiped in his aspect as Rudra.

    This is probably the only one Hymn of the Vedas where Shiva is directly mentioned , though in secret, while Hymns on Agni, Varuna,Narayana, Vishnu .. are many.

    I have written on this in a separate Post.

    The Portion Rudram praises  Rudra and in Chamakam the devotee asks Rudra for everything a Human being could wish for.

    There are many ways of chanting the Rudra, depending on intonation(Gana) and the results vary for each.

    And there are different types of conduction of Sri Rudram, in terms of how many people, and how much each one chants at the same time.

    This also determines the result of the Rudra Upasna.

    ‘

    Worshippers of Lord Siva recite Rudram with 11 sections followed by Chamakam with 11 sections as a routine prayer every day. This is called the daily nyasam or mode of worship. In the Rudram part, the devotee pays repeated obeisance to Lord Siva and prays for his blessings for human well being. But on special occasions, the number of times the recitation is done is increased.

    In Rudra Ekadasi, Rudram is recited 11 times and Chamakam is recited once. After Rudram is recited once, one section or anuvaka ofChamakam is recited in order.

    In Laghurudram, Rudra Ekadasi is done 11 times, that is, Rudram is recited 112  or 121 times and Chamakam is recited 11 times.

         In Maharudram, 11 Laghurudrams are recited; that is, Rudram is recited 113 = 1331 times and Chamakam 112 = 121 times.

    In Atirudram, 11 Maharudrams are recited; that is, Rudram is recited 114 = 14641 times and Chamakam is recited 113 = 1331 times.

    The Chamakam mentions completely the ideal of human happiness and defines in the highest degree the desires to be fulfilled without delimiting those to be asked for or to be granted..

    DNA and Mathematics in Sri Rudram.

    ‘

    In the Chamakam, in anuvakas or sections 1 to10, the devotee prays for almost everything needed for human happiness and specifies each item.  But in the 11th anuvaka or 11th section of Chamakam, the devotee prays for the desired things not specifically but in terms of numbers, first in terms of odd numbers from 1 to 33 and later in multiples of 4 from 4 to 48, as follows:

    “Eka cha me, thisrascha may, pancha cha may, sapta cha may, Ekadasa cha may, trayodasa cha may, panchadasa cha may, saptadasa cha may, Navadasa cha may, ek trimshatis cha may, trayovimshatis cha may, Panchavimshatis cha may, saptavimshatis cha may, navavimshatis cha may, Ekatrimshatis cha may, trayatrimshatis cha may, panchatrimshatis cha may, Chatasras cha may, ashtou cha may, dwadasa cha may, shodasa cha may, Vimsatis cha may, chaturvimshatis cha may, ashtavimshatis cha may, Dwathrimashatis cha may, shatstrimshas cha may, chatvarimshas cha may, Chatuschatvarimshas cha may, ashtachatvarimshas cha may”
    which means:

    “Let these be granted to me. One, three, five, seven, nine, eleven, thirteen, seventeen, nineteen, twenty one, twenty three, twenty five, twenty seven, twenty nine, thirty one and thirty three as also four, eight, twelve, sixteen, twenty, twenty four, twenty eight, thirty two, thirty six, forty, forty four and forty eight”.

    Traditional scholars and pandits explain the significance of these numbers as follows:

    ODD NUMBERS:

    1 = Nature or Prakriti

    3 = The three gunas, namely sattwa, rajas and tamas

    5 = The five mahabhutas, or the five basic elements, that is, prithvi, ap, tejas, vayu and akasha, (earth, water, energy or agni or fire, wind and space).

    7 = The five sensory organs and the mind and intellect

    9 = The nine openings in the human body, called the navadwaras.

    11 = The ten pranas and the Sushumna nadi

    13 = Thirteen Devas

    15 = The nadis or nerve centres in the human body

    17 = The limbs of the human body

    19 = Medicinal herbs

    21 = Important vulnerable parts of the body

    23 = Devas controlling serious diseases

    25 = Apsaras in heaven

    27 = Gandharvas

    29 = Vidyut Devas

    31 = Worlds

    33 = Devas

    MULTIPLES OF FOUR:

    4 = The four ideals of human life, namely dharma, artha, kama and moksha,

    (righteous way of life, wealth, desire, and salvation)

    8 = The four Vedas and the four upavedas

    12 = Six vedangas and six shastras.

    16 = Knowledge to be obtained from God

    20 = The Mahabhutas

    24 = The number of letters in the Gayatri metre

    28 = The number of letters in the Ushnik metre

    32 = The number of letters in the Anushtup metre

    36 = The number of letters in the Brihati metre

    40 = The number of letters in the Pankti metre

    44 = The number of letters in the Trushtup metre

    48 = The number of letters in the Jagati metre

       According to Dr Sasidharan, these numbers represent a polymer chain of molecules that form apa or water that enables evolution of life and intelligence, and apa is nothing but the nitrogenous base pairs of the DNA.   The numbers 1 to 33 represent the 33000 base pairs of mitochondrial base pairs of DNA.  The numbers 4 to 48 represent the 48 million nuclear bases of DNA.  The two sets of DNA bases combine to provide sustenance of human wellbeing and onward evolution of human life.  When the devotee prays for the blessing of these numbers, actually he is praying for bestowing on him all these DNA bases which conduce to sustenance of human wellbeing and happiness.
