Lord Shiva’s birthday star is Thiruvadirai in the month of Margashi and this day is also the longest night in a year.
Arudra Darshan means darshan of the cosmic dance of Lord Shiva. The cosmic dance of Lord Shiva represents five activities -Creation, Protection, Destruction, Embodiment and Release. In essence, it represents the continuous cycle of creation and destruction. On this day Nataraj form of Lord Shiva is worshipped during Arunodaya along with holy chanting from Vedas.

2)Velli Sabhai (Silver) at Madurai,
3)Ratnasabha (Ruby) at Tiruvalankadu,
4)Tamrasabha (Copper) at Tirunelveli,
5)Chitrasabha (Pictures) at Kutralam.
In Thillai Chidambaram 10 day Festival is held during Thiruvathirai. On the 9th day night (i.e., 10th day very early morning) Maha Abhishekam will be done to Lord Nataraja and Goddess Sivakamasundari at Raja Sabhai at around 3 am.
The MahaAbhishekam will be held for about 3–4 hours.
Then special Thiruvabaranam (Sacred Jewels) Alankaram, Rahasiya Pujai will be done to Sri Natarajar. Pancha Murthi Thiruveethi Ula, will be held at around 12 pm Noon.
Soon after Pancha Murthi Ula in the afternoon Lord Natarajar and Goddess Sivakami will bless devotees with Aarudra Darisanam and enter Kanaka Sabhai (Golden Sabha).

Gandhi Recited Quran Verses in the Temple of Valmiki Basti near Delhi

  Once Mohandas. K. Gandhi was reciting Quran in the temple of Valmiki Basti near Delhi.   Then a woman from the crowd got up and asked Gandhi not to do so. Gandhi asked: Why?   Then that woman said that it is against our religion.    Gandhi said. I don't believe so. ..The woman replied that we do not consider you worthy to give order in religion..   Gandhi said that the vote of the people present here should be taken. The woman replied whether religion could be decided by votes?.   Gandhi said that you are obstructing my religious freedom. The woman replied that you are interfering illegally in the religion of crores of Hindus.   Gandhi said: I wish to listen to the Quran, now.  The woman said: And I will oppose it inside our temple.   And then hundreds of Valmiki youths stood by the side of the woman and started saying that before getting the Quran recited in the temple, show us by reciting Gita or Ramayana in a mosque and then we will allow this.   Seeing the growing protests, G

Carnatic Musicians Aiding for Christian Conversion Efforts – Courtesy: Naithrupan

Nithyashree Mahadevan , Aruna Sairam , OS Arun , Unnikrishnan , Anuradha Shriram , Tippu & Saindhavi – names that you’re most familiar with Carnatic music who are supposed to be a role model for younger generatons .  The above mentioned singers  stooped down to the lowest level possible. They all signed up to sell their music, Thyagaraja Kirthanas to christian mission by simply changing few words and singing in praise of Jesus. It is highly condemnable that they chose to replace the word Rama with Yesu and sang all the kirthanas . It is that same Rama and Krishna who showered their blessings and made them popular and these scumbags have decided to sell our kirthanas to churches who will use them ONLY to do more conversion. What a shame! On the contrary, Isaignani Ilayaraja that he will not score for the movie “ Periyar ” even if he is offered any number of crores – that is conviction! I see some people asking some stupid question “Haven’t we a

Nationalism – National Flag, National Anthem and National Song

Ancient India was called as Bharatavarsa meaning thereby – the country ( varsa ) of Bharata – Emperor Bharata , the son of Shakuntala and Dushyanta Maharaja. Further, Bharata in Sanskrit means Bha – Light and Knowledge and Rata – Devoted and hence Bharata means ‘Devoted to light/knowledge’. In view of such loaded cultural and spiritual background about our ancient country, the constitution of India in its Article 1 (1) confirmed the name of India as Bharat and the actual wording runs thus: “India, that is Bharat, shall be a Union of States” and hence Bharat is officially acknowledged as the name of our country – though the ‘ sickular liberals’ do not want to acknowledge this fact – but, they want our country to be called as ‘India’ only. Because this name of our country leads to the historical evidence that Bharat’s territories extended to a large parts of present neighboring countries which ancients called as Akhand Bharat, Leftists Leaning Literates and Sicku
