Poem 1 - Lost in
between
Gazed
did I, at the stars above
Trying to find you roaring in love
Just
in a jiffy, as I closed my eyes
you
disappeared into the vast skies
filling
my life with emptiness and dreams
No
memory to convince by any means
Search
did I, into the cosmic rays
Felt
the warmth, in the splendid ways
formless
love that shined to bestow
upon
my thoughts as I always know
you
appeared within my spiritual quest
proving
to be the aspirational best
Loved
did I, the spaces that I adore
elements
of life and ecstasy unknown
with
the inner consciousness raised
everything
emptied itself with love base
Is
this the divine will or the space between?
For
sure, Lost did I, in love left in between!!!
Poem 2 – Expressionless
This is my space, my tranquillity
Peace, Love and Harmony within!!!
Poem
3- Stars that never shined!!
Tiny
silver dots in the sky
that
shimmer spectacles in the night
As
the canopy of night darkness lay
these
pollock dots of sky shine bright
So
far, so small and so uncared for
Yet,
there is something significant to adore
Amid
darkness, they shined undaunted in sky
forgotten
when they fell on earth for a while shy
They
were stars that withstood the test of times
waves
through the strongest waves of life
Beckoning
the home of hope for untravelled miles
Yet,
there is something significant as they did fly
Powerful
specked light of the tiny dots
rose
amidst the merciless human rots
No
amount of darkness removes the spark
for
each one of them, did place their mark
Yes,
they are the women stars that never shined!
Yet,
the connecting dots of lives well lived!!!

treasons

The ebb and Flow of life
A Woman, A Warrior and
A Mighty Queen Called Velu

survived surpassing all
the hurdles
Wins the destiny
Etched her name in the

Poem Title
2: Alluri Sita Rama Raju
The name that brought fear
with the terror in his
eyes
and the valour in his arms
Rama Raju, the Telugu Son
A National Revolutionary
With wisdom, pride, and
courage
Saving his traditional
forms of agriculture
taking over
non-traditional guerrilla wars
Mustering the forces of
tribals
As the Hero of the jungles
British thirst to quench
the rebellion
unstopped manhunts chasing
Raju
He left behind his lady
love Sita
to embrace sacrifices to
his first love India
familiar with the
struggles of his Nation
The sounds of his fierce
horse rides
leaving behind spiritual tutelages
sent shrills down the
spines of British
Messiah, the tribals
called him
The Charisma that influenced
many
Educating the people of
their rights
And engaging in fearless
fights
touring the deadly forest
terrains
taking a control of
geographical plains
A rebel, truly honest to
his land
Martyred tied to a tree
blind
People cried beating drums
singing songs in their
hero’s praise
Bows, Arrows and Spears
Continued the movement he
began!
Heroes like Rama Raju do
not die!!!
They live in every miniscule
soil
Liberated, Free, and
rightfully owned
Homages paid to the
bravery and scarified
A life short- but well
lived
As the one and only Alluri
Sita Rama Raju!!!
The Gallant Son of Andhra
Pradesh
The Matsya Narayana Perumal Temple, also known as the Vedanarayana Perumal Temple, is a historic and significant Hindu temple located in Nagalapuram, a town in the Chittoor district of Andhra Pradesh, India. This temple is dedicated to Lord Vishnu in his Matsya (fish) avatar, one of the ten primary incarnations known as Dashavatara.
The Matsya Narayana Perumal Temple is believed to have been constructed during the early 16th century by the Vijayanagara emperor, Krishnadevaraya, who ruled from 1509 to 1529 CE. The temple’s history is closely tied to the Vijayanagara Empire, known for its patronage of art, architecture, and Hindu temples.
Nagalapuram itself was named after Krishnadevaraya's mother, Nagala Devi, highlighting the king's devotion to his family and his efforts to honor them through grand architectural projects. The temple stands as a testament to the architectural grandeur and the religious fervor of the Vijayanagara period.
The significance of the Matsya Narayana Perumal Temple lies in its dedication to the Matsya avatar of Lord Vishnu. According to Hindu mythology, Vishnu took the form of a fish to save the sacred Vedas from the demon Hayagriva during the great deluge (Pralaya). This avatar signifies the protection of knowledge and the restoration of cosmic order.
The temple is particularly renowned for its annual festival known as Surya Pooja. During this festival, the rays of the setting sun fall directly on the presiding deity, Vedanarayana Perumal, illuminating the sanctum sanctorum. This celestial event is a major attraction and draws numerous devotees.
The primary deity of the temple is Matsya Narayana, also known as Vedanarayana Perumal. The idol of the deity is depicted with the upper body of a human and the lower body of a fish, reflecting the Matsya avatar. The deity is flanked by Sridevi and Bhudevi, the consorts of Vishnu.
Other deities worshipped in the temple include:
Worship and rituals at the Matsya Narayana Perumal Temple follow traditional Vaishnavite practices. Key aspects of worship and rituals include:
Daily Pujas: The temple follows a strict schedule of daily rituals, including Suprabhatam (early morning awakening ritual), Abhishekam (sacred bath), Alankaram (decoration), Naivedyam (offering of food), and Deepa Aradhana (waving of lamps).
Festivals: The temple celebrates various festivals with great fervor. The most notable is the annual Brahmotsavam, celebrated over several days with various religious activities, processions, and cultural events. Surya Pooja, where the sun's rays illuminate the deity, is another significant festival.
Prayers and Offerings: Devotees offer flowers, fruits, coconuts, and other items as part of their worship. Special prayers and rituals are performed for personal and communal well-being.
Vedic Chanting and Discourses: Recitations of the Vedas and discourses on the Ramayana, Mahabharata, and other scriptures are a regular feature, emphasizing the temple's role in the preservation and dissemination of sacred knowledge.
The architecture of the Matsya Narayana Perumal Temple reflects the grandeur of the Vijayanagara style, characterized by intricate carvings, majestic gopurams (towering gateways), and spacious mandapas (pillared halls). The temple's layout is designed to facilitate the grand rituals and processions that are integral to its religious life.
The temple complex includes several mandapas and shrines, with the sanctum sanctorum (garbhagriha) housing the main deity. The outer walls and pillars are adorned with exquisite sculptures depicting various episodes from Hindu mythology, particularly those related to Lord Vishnu's incarnations.
Vellore Fort is a large 16th-century fort situated in heart of the Vellore city, in the state of Tamil Nadu, India built by Vijayanagara kings.
The fort was at one time the headquarters of the Aravidu Dynasty of the Vijayanagara Empire.
The fort is known for its grand ramparts, wide moat and robust masonry.
Vellore Fort was built by Channa Bommi Nayaka and Thimma Reddy Nayaka, the Chieftains under the Vijayanagara ruler Sadashiva Raya. This granite fort happens to be one of the best examples of military architecture in South India and among the unique forts in India.
Its history has been affected by two decisive political battles- the Battle of Talikota (1565) and the Battle of Toppur (1616-1617 CE).
The fort of Vellore is at once an architectural marvel, a historical legacy, a military stronghold and an important site for the articulation of the Indian freedom struggle. It represents the skills of our artisans as well as our composite culture. There is indeed no exaggeration in stating that it is one of the most important and fascinating forts in the Indian subcontinent.
Tamil Nadu is a state deeply held in religion, which can be seen through its culture, architecture, temples and rituals. The Jalakandeswarar Temple in the state is a living example of how faith in God ceases every hindrance that halts its union with the divine. The temple dedicated to Lord Shiva, is located inside the Vellore Fort, in heart of the Vellore city, and has an interesting story of restoration. The temple is known for its marvellous architecture of the Vijayanagara period, and today is maintained and protected by the Archaeological Survey of India.
The temple also hosts the idol of Sri Akhilandeshwari Amma, the consort of Jalakandeswarar. The Temple is a highly regarded landmark that not only highlights the architectural skill of ancient times but also showcase the significance of special traditions upheld by the worshippers to invoke the feelings of peace and a connection to the divine.
According to folktales that circulate among the natives, the Jalakandeswarar Temple has initially been a prominent ant-hill. The ant-hill was was circumscribed by rainfall water. A Shiva Lingam (a symbol of Lord Shiva, a Hindu deity), was placed at this position and consequently worshipped by devotees. Soon a chieftain of the region, Chinna Bommi Nayaka, who was in charge of the fort, saw a dream where he claimed that Lord Shiva had asked him to construct a temple. As a result, Chinna Bommi Nayaka went ahead to follow the divine instructions he received and built a temple at the place in the sixteenth century. Since the Lingam was surrounded by water (Jalam), the deity was called as Jalakandeswarar (translated as "Lord Siva residing in the water").
The temple was fabricated during the reign of the Vijayanagaram king Sadasivadeva Maharaya. Unfortunately, during the Muslim invasion of the region, the temple was vandalised to a very poor state. The idol of the presiding deity was salvaged by devotees and shifted to the Jalakanda Vinayakar Temple in the meantime in Sathuvacheri, where it remained till the last quarters of the twentieth century.
The idol was then secretly returned to the fort in 1981, and the site was officially reinstated as a Hindu temple, open for public access. The temple is currently maintained and well-looked-after by the Archaeological Survey of India under the guidance of the Government of India.
The Jalakanteshwara Temple is a fine example of Vijayanagara Architecture. With exquisite carvings on its gopuram (tower) and richly carved stone pillars, large wooden gates and stunning monoliths and sculptures, the temple exhibits the capabilities of Indian architects to make the greatest of all temples.The Main Gopuram is tall enough over a hundred feet in height. The temple also consists of a Mandapam, with a hall elaborated by carved stone pillars of religious figures in the Hindu tradition.
The temple itself is built in middle of a water tank, which surrounds the temple like a garland. The water used for bathing the deity (abishekam) is drawn from an ancient well called the Ganga Gouri Thertam, within the temple complex.
Behind the Nandi statue, a feature seen in most of the South Indian temples dedicated to Lord Shiva, there houses an earthen lamp. The lamp is said to revolve when people place their hands over it. The revolving is a symbol to indicate that their wishes have been granted. The golden and silver lizard sculptures of the temple are also worshipped by devotees, while the snake sculptures are also prayed reverence in order to get relief from 'sarpa dosham'.
Previously the temple was managed by a private trust called Sri Jalakanteswarar Dharma Sthabanam. The takeover was opposed by the private trust every time by approaching the Madras High Court. However, after nearly ten years of legal proceedings, the court ruling favoured the Government of Tamil Nadu. Although the temple complex is owned and maintained by the Archaeological Survey of India, the administration is taken over by the government.
Chitra Poornima, Aadi Pooram, Vinayaka Chaturthi, and Navratri are all celebrated with full religious fervour at the temple. Other festivals of Mahashivratri and Diwali are also celebrated as major events of the temple, with decorations and cultural performances making them the ebst time to visit the temple.
