HISTORY OF VISHWABRAHMINS......

Chari belong to Panchal Brahmans which is also known as Viswakarma Brahmans viswakarma created "sathyaloka", to reside brahma "vykuntha" for vishnu,"swarna lanka" to shiva,"swarga" for indra, "alakapuri" for kubera "dwaraka" for krishna likewise somany creations. all these gods are very powerful according to our puranas and they can create any thing just with a manthra, then why dont they create all these worlds without the viswakarma. viswakarma degraded surya's rays and then made "sudarshana chakra" for vishnu,"thrishul" for shiva,"vajrayudha" for indra "axe" for kalika.

They were also called as ‘Shivabrahman’. ‘Saiyadri Khanda’ of ‘Scanda Puran’ says that artist of ancient Goa is called as ‘Shaivagayatri Brahmans’. Those Chari who fled Goa during Portuguese time to prevent them being converted to Christianity & settled in Solapur district are still known as ‘Shiva Brahma Sutar’ . Chari has their origin from Manu & Maya two of the sons of Lord Vishwakarma, the Divine Architect and craftsman in ancient India. In ancient India Panchal were called as ‘Missionary of civilization, culture & religion’ since Panchal spread Vedic religion in other part of world

According to traditional belief, Vishwabrahmins are descended from five sons of lord Vishwakarma. They are Manu (blacksmith), Maya(carpenter), Thwastha (metal craftsman), Silpi (stone-carver) Vishvajnya (goldsmith). The community is spread widely throughout India and played a vital role in the village economy. Their socio-economic status varied from a very high level to the low level in different parts of India as they earned high wages in towns because of their factory employment and low in villages.

 About Vishwabrahmins Anand K. Coomaraswamy says ‘the Kammalar (i.e. Panchal) were known as Vishwa or Dev Brahman or Dev Kammalar. They spread gradually towards the south and then reached Ceylon, Burma & Java. The Kammalar claim to have been the spiritual guides and priests and their position in the society survives in the saying The Kammalar is guru to the world. They still have their own priests & do not relay on Brahman. They also perform priestly rites in connection with consecration of images. They both claim and possess various special privileges, which they always upheld with much vigour, in some cases they claim a rank equal to that of Brahmans.” He also mentions “throughout the rest of ceremony all priest officers had been performed by the craftsman themselves acting as Brahman priest”

Dr. Krishna Rao says “The most highly organized & efficient of the industrial classes was Virpanchal comprising of Goldsmith, coiner blacksmith, carpenter and mason. In finest period of Indian art particularly between eighth and ninth century, they claimed and enjoyed a social status in the community, equal to Brahmans. The art of engraving & sculpture had attained a high stage of development. It was exclusively cultivated by Panchals who wore sacred thread & considered themselves as Vishwakarma Brahmans. The craftsman being deeply versed in national epic literature always figured in the history of India as missionaries of civilization, culture & religion. The intellectual influence being creative & not merely assimilative was at least as great as that of the priest and the author”

Panchal are called as Missionaries of civilization, culture & religion because they spread Hindu Religion to the whole world through their art. Ernest B. Havell says “The northern quarter of (Patliputra) was assigned to Brahmans & certain of the higher craftsman such as armor, ironsmiths & workers in precious stones. The association of skilled craftsmen with Brahmans & Kshatriya is additional evidence that craftsmanship did not hold inferior status in Indo Aryan society.

The Stapathy or master builder is described in the Shilpa Shastra as officiating at religious ceremonies which preceded the laying out of the Indo Aryan town or village and some of the metal worker& carpenter of the south of India still retains as their caste indication the name Acharya which denotes a teacher of religion”. In ancient India Vishwabrahmins had great importance. Only Vishwabrahmins could hold the degree Jagatgur i.e. Guru to whole world which can be seen in the saying ‘Kammalar is guru to the world’.

Mahabalipuram Temples

History of Mahabalipuram Temples

Situated at a distance of 58-km from Chennai, Mahabalipuram has everything that creates a site memorable; tradition, history, piety, western annals, and current importance as a centre of tourism.

Mahabalipuram is situated near to Chennai (Madras) on the shoreline of the Bay of Bengal, along the Indian eastern coast. Known for its stones designs and monolithic statues it has the popular shore temple, the only one to have live through the problems of characteristics. Also known as the Seven Pagodas (temples), six now lie engrossed in the sea. Mahabalipuram temples whose structure was motivated by the Pallava Art were designed during the interval 830 - 1100 AD.

Mahabalipuram contains nearly 40 monuments of different kinds such as an "open air bas relief" which is the biggest in the world. For hundreds of years it has been a center of pilgrimage, and even today it attracts devotees and foreigners in large numbers.

There are two low mountains in Mahabalipuram, about 400m from the sea whose both factors have 11 excavated temples, known as Mandapas. Out of a big stone status no cost close by there is a "cut out" temple, known as a "Ratha". This type is unique to Mahabalipuram.

Out of the other mountain, much smaller and status about 200m to the south, are created five more rathas, and three big statues of a Nandi, a Loin and an Elephant. On the top of the larger mountain there is a architectural temple, and a little distance the spectacular origins of a Vijayanagar Gopura and also survivals of what is believed to be a palace.

The Five Rathas

The five Rathas consist of The Dharmaraja, The Bhima, The Arjuna, The Draupadi and The Sahadeva. The Five Rathas, about 200 m south of the primary mountain, were created out of less sized mountain sloping down from the southern. From the greatest aspect was created the biggest of the five rathas, the Dharmaraja. Then followed onwards north, in the descending order of height, the Bhima, the Arjuna and the Draupadi.

A little to the west of Draupadi there was a comparatively large rock and out of it the Sahadeva Ratha was made. Instantly at the front side of the Draupadi again two small stones were created into an elephant and a lion. Behind the Draupadi and the Arjuna, which stand on a common base, there is a Nandi.

The Shore Temple :

The Shore Temple occupies a most outstanding site at the very edge of the Bay of Bengal so that at high tide the waves sweep into it and the walls. Because of this their statues, have been eroded by the winds and waves of thirteen centuries.

The Shrines In The Shore Temple :

There are 3 shrines in the Shore Temple. Two of them are of Saiva and the third is of Vaishnava, with an picture of Lord Anantasayi created of live rock. There are Vimanas over the Saiva (also spelt as Shaiv or Shaiva) shrines, but none over the third; it seems to have disappeared with time. Designed by Narasimha Varman II Rajasimha, the maker of the Kailasanatha temple in Kanchipuram in the 8th century, this is one of the first architectural temples in Tamil Nadu.

Temple Of Sthalasayana Perumal :

To the north of the bigger hill there is the temple of Sthalasayana Perumal. To the west of the five Rathas there are three more rathas, two side by side. About 600 m north of Mahabalipuram, along the shore, is Saluvankuppam, where there are spectacular excavated temples and, near it, a stone Mandapa with competition leads along its outside, known as the "Tigers Cave". Between Saluvankuppam and Mahabalipuram, less than 200m from the sea, appears another architectural temple, the Mukunda Nayanar.

Each and every one of these monuments of different kinds, architectural temple, excavated temple "cut out" temple, "open air bas relief", in addition to statues and Mandapas to be found here and there, is important and exciting. The Coast temple, the famous "open air bas relief" known as "Arjuna's Penance", the Mahishamardhani and the Adivaraha "Cave" temples and the Five Rathas are the especial rewards of the visitor. All the monuments are Pallava except that the unique Sthalasayana Perumal temple was extended in Vijayanagar periods. To the Chola periods connected a Mandapa at the entrance to the township.

Mahabalipuram is one of the beautiful places in south India. It has dream world of tamil arts.Mahabalipuram was a 7th century port city of the South Indian dynasty of the Pallavas, 60 km south from Chennai in Tamil Nadu.

Animation film Mahabharat's movie trailer out

Producer Jayantilal Gada recently released the trailer of his ambitious 3D animation project: Mahabharat.

The grand epic that has seen countless versions over the years, has got its first ever animation makeover. This also marks the epic tale's first move towards the big cinema screen. 
The high budget film reportedly comes with an enviable cast of actors - Amitabh Bachchan has lend his voice to Bhishma, while Sunny Deol does the same for Bheem, Draupadi owes her voice to Vidya Balan, and Yudhistir to Manoj Bajpai. Actor Ajay Devgan too has lend his voice to Arjun, Anil Kapoor voices Karna, Jackie Shroff voices Duryodhan and Anupam Kher will be heard playing Shakuni. 

The other interesting bit about the film is the fact that the characters bear a strong resembalnce to the actors lending them their voices. This, of course, was a planned effort on the makers' side.

Considering this is Mahabharat we're talking about, it should come as no surprise that people are already unhappy. Why? Because reportredly Sita has been portrayed as a little on the plus side, and for generations who are only used to a slimmer version of the poster child for Indian brides, this bit has been hard to digest.

That aside, chew on this thought for a while. The film is reportedly the most expensive animated film made here.

Cautious Anna says he didn't speak to Kejriwal as his phone is being tapped

Arvind Kejriwal and Anna Hazare

Veteran anti-corruption activist Anna Hazare on Tuesday launched a veiled attack on the UPA government alleging that his phone was under surveillance.

Talking to Headlines Today, the Gandhian said he refrained from speaking to Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) leader Arvind Kejriwal and wrote him a letter instead to avoid the tapping of his phone.

"I did not speak with Arvind Kejriwal on phone because my phone is being tapped. I am very cautious, so I wrote letter to Arvind," Hazare said, adding, "There is no one stopping Arvind from meeting me."

He, however, said that he expected Kejriwal to directly communicate with him through letter rather than addressing his concerns before media or social media. "Arvind should not have gone open with the letter I had written to him," Hazare said.

He also questioned AAP's claims to ensure a strong Lokpal, saying, "How can Arvind bring Lokpal in Vidhan Sabha? He brought out pamphlets saying they will bring Lokpal."

Hazare feigned ignorance about protester Nachiketa, who had heckled Kejriwal at a press conference in Delhi on Monday claiming to be a BJP worker and supporter of the Gandhian. "I don't know who this Nachiketa is... I have never met him. I don't know him," he said.

"If I try to bring down Arvind or defame him then other parties will benefit. I am not doing any such thing... Kumar Vishwas (AAP leader) wanted me to give in writing that Arvind is good, but I refused," he said.

"I am against political parties. There is no provision in constitution also. I will never support any party or individual... There is no democracy in the country," Hazare said.

"Change can be brought only through andolan and not by political parties. Movement is the future of this country," he said.

Hazare, however, said, "I have no opposition to Arvind forming a party... What difference does it make with one more party when there are so many others?"

"Arvind is a nice person and honest... There are no differences between us, but my doubts should be cleared," he said.
