Hyderabad Blasts----Comment Required???



There are certain aspects about the blasts that seem to be ignored in the media. Some of them are given below:

First time children have been targeted (Lumbini Park is essentially a Children's Park). It has always been religious places or localities with large populace of particular communities that have been targeted. Presuming that terrorists are actually behind the blast what brings about this change in strategy?

Gokul is a very busy place. Gokul Chat Bhandar is a place always crowded with people. You would not find an inch of space to stand in the place. How could someone plant a bomb without anyone noticing? It should not be difficult to find out form the people about any suspicious objects placed at Gokul

How was a ‘terror-hand’ unearthed within an hour of the blast? What is the info that prompted the police to ‘declare’ terrorist intent behind the blast?

Explosives found at 16 other places. What the heck are the police and indeed the political establishment doing? Intelligence agencies have warned time and again that Hyderabad had become a beehive for a lot of terrorist sleeper cells. Yet, no action or efforts were visible at the ground level of any efforts made to unearth the sleeper cells.

Why does no one ever get caught for such blasts?

Why do such acts always happen in Congress regimes? This is no outlandish claim but perfectly verifiable fact (You could browse the net for a chronology of the incidents). Hyderabad was prone to communal riots and terror attacks before NTR became the chief Minister. While NTR was the CM hardly any incidents of this nature happened. However, once NTR lost power and the Congress came back, the incidents of communal and terror disturbances resumed again. They stopped when the TDP party of NTR came back to power. Hyderabad saw a long period of peace for 9 years under the TDP regime (Chandrababu Naidu replaced NTR as the Chief Minister after a year). Unfortunately, the TDP lost power again and guess what? The communal disturbances and Bomb blasts have resumed again. Who is in power? The Congress Party.

This comes as no surprise to the Hyderabadis for most of them know where the priorities of the Congress lie. The people here have a special phrase to describe the Congress regime – “Mana Rajyam” or ‘our government.’ The ‘our’ in this phrase, however is not the common man but the powerful businessman, leader, politician or a powerful goonda or a terrorist. These sections have great freedom to do what they want that is why they call it their government (‘Our Government’).

Let us pray for all those who lost their lives in the blast and also for those who engineered the blasts.

Tadipatri--Home for temples--Chintala Venkataramana temple

Tadpatri got its name from Tatipatri which means garden of palm trees. Another version is that Tataki (demon lady who tried to kill Sreeram on his way to save the yaga of Viswamitra) was killed by Sreeram at this very place and hence the name.

Tadpatri has 2 very famous temples within the town. Chintala Venkata Ramana Swamy temple and Bugga Rama Lingeswara Swamy temple. The sthala puranam (Local History) says that these two temples were built in a one day by two brothers. One of them was completed by the next morning but the other one (Bugga Rama Lingeswara Swamy temple) was in complete. The belief is that if this temple was complete it would have been Dakshina Kaashi. The architecture of these two temples to Dravidian and reflects the Vijayanagara style of architecute.

Chintala Venkata Ramana Swamy temple is located in the heart of the town and it is situated in about 5 acres. It is very well maintained and the vimana (Main Gopuram) is recently rebuilt (which was damaged in one of the earth quakes).

Ramayana, Bhagavata and Mahabharata epics are carved around the Garbha Griha. The epics are sculptured so nicely that when we see these sculptors it is as good as reading the story. There is a belief that there is a secret tunnel (sorangam) from this temple to Gooty Fort. The face of the tunnel is still seen though it is blocked by a stone by Archeological Survey of India.













Legends Of Raksha Bandhan

Indra and Indrani:
In the Vedic period, on a 'Shravan Poornima' day (Full Moon Day of the Hindu month of Shravan), the deities and the demons were fighting a battle against each other. Unfortunately the demons were in a stronger position as compared to the deities. The king of the deities, Lord Indra, was very much worried about the result of the battle. His wife Indrani (also known as Shashikala) could not see him worried and prayed to the almighty. Indrani was a religious lady so she prepared a Talisman with her religious power and tied it around Indra's right wrist. She believed that this Talisman will safeguard Indra from the attack made by the demons. She was actually right about her belief as that day the deities won the battle and Lord Indra escaped unhurt.

Yama and Yamuna:
Yamuna was the sister of Lord Yama, the God of death. On every "Shravan Purnima" Yamuna used to tie a sacred thread (Rakhi) to Lord Yama. Since then it has become a tradition for the sisters to tie Rakhi to their brothers on this day. And the brothers bestow blessings on their sisters.

King Bali and Goddess Laxmi:
According to the mythology Raja Bali was such a great devotee of Lord Vishnu that Lord Indra felt insecured and he prayed Vishnu to help him save his throne. Vishnu accepted Indra's prayer and overthrew Bali beneath the earth. When Bali asked Lord Vishnu about such treatment, Vishnu gave him boon of immortality and also promised to take care of his kingdom. To keep his promise Vishnu left his residence, 'Vaikunthdham' to safeguard Bali's kingdom. Then the Goddess Laxmi, wife of Lord Vishnu, went to Raja Bali as a poor brahmin lady and requested him for shelter. She regarded Bali as her brother and therefore tied a Rakhi on to him on the 'Shravan Poornima' day. When Bali wished to give her some present she told him her true story and also told him that she came here because Lord Vishnu is here to guard his kingdom. So if he can, he should send Lord Vishnu back to Vaikunthdham. Raja Bali immediately requested Lord Vishnu and Goddess Laxmi to return.

King Porus and Alexander's wife:
The ancient history of India tells us that when Alexander the great came to India with a purpose to make India a part of his kingdom, he was resisted by the brave king Porus. Bravery of Porus led the wife of Alexander doubt the safety of her husband. Then the lady addressed Porus as her brother and thus became his sister. And a bond of Rakhi was established between them. That is why Porus never harmed Alexander.

Maharani Karnawati and Emperor Humayun:
In the Medieval Indian History the tale of Maharani Karnawati and the Mughal Emperor Humayun relates to the tradition of Rakhi. Maharani Karnawati was the queen of the Rajput Kingdom, Chittor, in Rajastan. When Chittor was threatened by Bahadur Shah of Mewar, the Maharani sent a Rakhi to Humayun, the Mughal Emperor of Delhi, and called him for help. Humayun was aware of the significance of Rakhi in the Hindu community so he immediately accepted her request to protect her. Nobody forced him to do so but he did so only out of his respect for the tradition of Rakhi.



Cousins Went To Buy Rakhis But Never Returned

Fourteen-year-old Saravanthi and her cousin Srilekha, 17, had gone out with their aunts to buy rakhis here but stopped for a bite at a popular eatery on their way back home. And they never returned to express their love for their brothers.

Their dreams came to an abrupt end Saturday evening when the powerful blast rocked Gokul Chat - theirs were among the 32 lives that were snuffed out. Saravanthi, Srilekha and their aunt Susheela were killed in the terror attack while another aunt Deepika was injured.

'She had told me that she would buy a colourful rakhi while I was planning to give her a surprise gift. Who will tie me a rakhi now?' asked Venu, her only brother, crying inconsolably.

A pall of gloom descended on two houses in Uppal neighbourhood. Saravanthi, daughter of Anjanyeulu, was a Class 9 student and dreamed of becoming a chartered accountant.

Anjanyeulu's brother Shankar too lost his only daughter. Srilekha, 17, who was waiting for admission in an engineering college, had also gone to buy rakhis for her two brothers.

It was a triple tragedy for Anjanyeulu and Shankar. They also lost one of their sisters. Like every year, Susheela and Deepika were making preparations for the festival. Susheela bore the brunt of the blast and her body was badly mutilated.

Working as an agent for an insurance company, Susheela was married to a bus conductor. 'We were eating samosas when the huge explosion destroyed everything. I did not know what happened and when I regained consciousness I found myself in hospital,' said Deepika, who received minor injuries.

Another family lost two young members in the blast. The temptation to have the crispy snacks drew Mohammed Rizwan, 16, and his cousin Yahiya Abdul Qader, 17, to their death.

The duo, students of Class 12, stopped at the famous eatery on their way to Rizwan's house in New Malakpet. They were returning from Yahiya's house in Vijaynagar Colony. The two boys were buried late Sunday.

KAILASH KUND PILGRIMAGE

Indian Hindu pilgrims are on their way to the Kailash kund or Kailash Lake near Ram Tung, some 215 km from north Indian city of Jammu. Every year, the 22-km Kailash pilgrimage begins from a temple in Bhaderwah town in Doda district of Jammu and Kashmir, which is 3,000 years old.

The Kailash pilgrimage is scheduled in August every year when the weather is rough, rains make the track slippery, but despite that thousands of people throng the shrine in the upper Himalayas in Bhaderwah area of Jammu region.

Devotes walk on foot to reach to the Kailash kund (Kailash Lake), which is at a height of 14,500 feet in the Mid-Himalayan region. Hindus revere Kailash pilgrimage for the fact that according to Hindu scriptures, the temple of Vashukhi Nag, a cobra, which is believed, to be attached with the neck of lord Shiva is situated at Kailash kund (Kailash Lake).

A tour to Tajmahal


















Necklace Road Statues


The Necklace Road runs the perimeter of Hussain Sagar, the 400 year-old artificial lake that separates the cities of Hyderabad and Secunderabad. It's one of the prettier urban spaces in the city, in part because of all the public art. Spaced at intervals of about half a city block are stunning black statues of gods and historical figures of relevance to the city. There are many grassy areas to rest, plenty of trees for shade, and long pedestrian walks by the lakefront and also on the statue side.
