  • AZHWARS – 12 Vaishnavite Saints Who Had Totally Surrendered Unto the Holy Feet of Sriman Narayana
    AZHWARS – 12 Vaishnavite Saints who had totally surrendered unto the Holy feet of Sriman Narayana. The below mentioned song is the benedictory verse of Manavala Mamunigal in his work Upadesa rathina malai.. Contd..2 -2- AzhwArgal vAzhi aruLichcheyal vAzhi thAzhvAdhumil kuravar thAm vAzhi – yEzhpArum uyya avargaL uraiththavaigaL thAm vAzhi seyyamaRai thannudanE sErndhu Meaning : May the divine azhwars live long! May their works, the divya prabandhams, live long! May the spotless poorvacharyas live long! May their accurate commentaries, which were generously offered so that people of the seven worlds can benefit from them; live long along with the sanskrit vedas! AZHWARS Azhwars are divine poets absorbed in Bhakti towards Sriman Narayana. Since they are always immersed (Azhndhu, tamil word for "in depth") in kalyana gunas (the most auspicious attributes) of Sriman Narayana, they are called Azhwars. Azhwars are known as Nityasuris or Divyasuris; those who reside permanently with the Lord in His Heavenly abode. They had incarnated as Vasihnavite Saints to propagate Bhakthi Marga - devotion towards Lord Vishnu in the 4th-9th centuries A.D. Contd..3 -3- There are 12 Azhwars, who are the main authors of Naalayira Divya Prabandham - 4000 poetic hymns sung in praise of Sriman Narayana, at various sacred shrines known as "Divya Desams" (108 in total). Divya Prabandham, in its present form was compiled by Nathamunigal during the 9th – 10th centuries. They are an incredible synthesis of poetic beauty, rhythmic magnificence, literary brilliance, spiritual loveliness and philosophical wisdom appealing to the head and heart of the masses. The Twelve Azhwars are : 1. PoigaiAzhwar 2. BoothathAzhwar 3.

    IRJA-Indian Research Journal, Volume: 1, Series: 6. Issue: November, 2014. ISSN: 2347-7695 Online Available at www.indianresearchjournal.com TOURIST SATISFACTION WITH HILL STATION DESTINATIONS - A CASE STUDY OF SHIMLA TOWN Author NIKITA CHADHA* Senior Research Fellow, Himachal Pradesh University Shimla. ABSTRACT Himachal Pradesh has been one of the hilly states of India. The state has numerous diversities in its geographical appearance. It ranges from plains of Una,Solan, Sirmaour districts, passing through mid altitude districts like Mandi, Kullu, Kangra and Shimla up to high altitude mountanious districts like Lahaul-Spiti, Kinnaur, Chamba and upper reaches of Shimla district. The capital city of the state i.e. Shimla was inhabited by Britishers in earlier times and was their summer capital . Thus, there have been numerous buildings, temples and attractions having heritage value. It is important to understand why Tourists are attracted to hill stations. The reasons are linked to Tourism as an activity and how it can be sustained in the long run. The present study has utilized primary data collected through survey method. The survey used twenty statements on five point likert scale filled by tourists on questionnaires. The Non-parametric test i.e. Chi-square was used as a statistical technique for analysis. The results indicate that the chi-square value is significant it shows that overall tourists are satisfied with their visit to Shimla. Further the study reveals, that natural scenery are cherished while local traffic and parking of vehicles are major problem in Shimla. Last but not least this paper explains the findings and suggestions of the study.

  • A Pilgrim's Diary to Badri, Jyoshi Mutt Etc Visited and Penned by Sri
    A Pilgrim’s diary to Badri, Jyoshi mutt etc Visited and penned by Sri Varadan NAMO NARAYANAYA SRIMAN NARAYANAYA CHARANAU SARANAM PRAPATHYE SRIMATHEY NARAYANAYAH NAMAH SRI ARAVINDAVALLI NAYIKA SAMETHA SRI BADRINARAYANAYA NAMAH SRI PUNDARIKAVALLI NAYIKA SAMETHA SRI PURUSHOTHAMAYA NAMAH SRI PARIMALAVALLI NAYIKA SAMETHA SRI PARAMPURUSHAYA NAMAH SRIMATHE RAMANUJAYA NAMAH Due to the grace of the Divya Dampadhigal and Acharyar, Adiyen was blessed to visit Thiru Badrinath and other divya desams enroute during October,2003 along with my family. After returning from Badrinath, Adiyen also visited Tirumala-Tirupati and participated in Vimsathi darshanam a scheme which allows a family of 6 members to have Suprabatham, Nijapada and SahasraDeepalankara seva for any 2 consecutive days in a year . It was only due to the abundant grace of Thiruvengadamudaiyan adiyen was able to vist all the Divya desams without any difficulty. Before proceeding further, Adiyen would like to thank all the internet bhagavathas especially Sri Rangasri group members and M.S.Ramesh for providing abundant information about these divya desams. I have uploaded a Map of the hills again downloaded from UP Tourism site for ready reference . As Adiyen had not planned the trip in advance, it was not possible to join “package tour” organised by number of travel agencies and could not do as it was Off season. Adiyen wishes to share my experience with all of you and request the bhagavathas to correct the shortcomings. Adiyen was blessed to take my father aged about 70 years a heart patient , to this divya desam and it would not be an exaggeration to say that only because of my acharyar’s and elders’ blessings , the trip was very comfortable.

  • The Land in Gorkhaland on the Edges of Belonging in Darjeeling, India
    The Land in Gorkhaland On the Edges of Belonging in Darjeeling, India SARAH BESKY Department of Anthropology and Watson Institute for International and Public Affairs, Brown University, USA Abstract Darjeeling, a district in the Himalayan foothills of the Indian state of West Bengal, is a former colonial “hill station.” It is world famous both as a destination for mountain tour- ists and as the source of some of the world’s most expensive and sought-after tea. For deca- des, Darjeeling’s majority population of Indian-Nepalis, or Gorkhas, have struggled for sub- national autonomy over the district and for the establishment of a separate Indian state of “Gorkhaland” there. In this article, I draw on ethnographic fieldwork conducted amid the Gorkhaland agitation in Darjeeling’s tea plantations and bustling tourist town. In many ways, Darjeeling is what Val Plumwood calls a “shadow place.” Shadow places are sites of extraction, invisible to centers of political and economic power yet essential to the global cir- culation of capital. The existence of shadow places troubles the notion that belonging can be “singularized” to a particular location or landscape. Building on this idea, I examine the encounters of Gorkha tea plantation workers, students, and city dwellers with landslides, a crumbling colonial infrastructure, and urban wildlife. While many analyses of subnational movements in India characterize them as struggles for land, I argue that in sites of colonial and capitalist extraction like hill stations, these struggles with land are equally important. In Darjeeling, senses of place and belonging are “edge effects”:theunstable,emergentresults of encounters between materials, species, and economies.

  • VIRUDHUNAGAR DISTRICT Minerals and Mining Irrigation Practices
    VIRUDHUNAGAR DISTRICT Virudhunagar district has no access to sea as it is covered by land on all the sides. It is surrounded by Madurai on the north, by Sivaganga on the north-east, by Ramanathapuram on the east and by the districts of Tirunelveli and Tuticorin on the south. Virudhunagar District occupies an area of 4288 km² and has a population of 1,751,548 (as of 2001). The Head-Quarters of the district Virudhunagar is located at the latitude of 9N36 and 77E58 longitude. Contrary to the popular saying that 'Virudhunagar produces nothing, but controls everything', Virudhunagar does produce a variety of things ranging from edible oil to plastic-wares. Sivakasi known as 'Little Japan' for its bustling activities in the cracker industry is located in this district. Virudhunagar was a part of Tirunelveli district before 1910, after which it became a part of Ramanathapuram district. After being grafted out as a separate district during 1985, today it has eight taluks under its wings namely Aruppukkottai, Kariapatti, Rajapalayam, Sattur, Sivakasi, Srivilliputur, Tiruchuli and Virudhunagar. The fertility of the land is low in Virudhunagar district, so crops like cotton, pulses, oilseeds and millets are mainly grown in the district. It is rich in minerals like limestone, sand, clay, gypsum and granite. Tourists from various places come to visit Bhuminathaswamy Temple, Ramana Maharishi Ashram, Kamaraj's House, Andal, Vadabadrasayi koi, Shenbagathope Grizelled Squirrel Sanctuary, Pallimadam, Arul Migu Thirumeni Nadha Swamy Temple, Aruppukkottai Town, Tiruthangal, Vembakottai, Pilavakkal Dam, Ayyanar falls, Mariamman Koil situated in the district of Virudhunagar.

There are a few centers of sacredness, which are held at high esteem by the ardent devotees who dream to travel and worship God in these holy places. All these holy sites have some mythological significance attached to them. When people go to a temple, they say they go for Darsan – of the image of the presiding deity. The pinnacle act of Hindu worship is to stand in the presence of the deity and to look upon the image so as to see and be seen by the deity and to gain the blessings. There are thousands of Siva sthalams- pilgrimage sites - renowned for their divine images. And it is for the Darsan of these divine images as well the pilgrimage places themselves - which are believed to be the natural places where Gods have dwelled - the pilgrimage is made.
