God Who Drinks Jaggery Water Panakala Narasimha

Usually I do not watch Television in the afternoons.

Today I just switched on the TV, a Tamil Channel which was set earlier by some one at my Home.

The screen opened with the Giant Image of Anjaneya baring his chest to reveal Lord Ram.

It was the Producer's Logo for His Film in Tamil!

When I went for my usual nap, as is my habit, I hunted for any book or magazine.

I came across a Tamil Magazine of June 2006(Gnana Aalayam), which featured my article.

As I skipped through it , I came across a brief outline of Panakalu Narasimha temple, where The God Narasimha drinks Panaka, Jaggery water Daily.

I want to share this with my readers.

At the individual level it is called Avidya or Ignorance and at the Cosmic level it is Called Maya.

Awareness, the fundamental of Knowledge is removal of Ignorance , not acquisition of any thing new or from outside.

This Maya will be explained later in the Vedas and Purans as the Attribute of Vishnu.

The concept of Mortality , as Knowledge is,a Negative one.

The absence of Immortality is Mortality is Mortality according to Hinduism for Immortality is permanent.

The Reality which is called Purusha is immanent in all these and yet goes beyond them.
