Thulukka Naachiyaar, Sri Rangam

  The Saga of Thulukka Naachiyaar, Sri Rangam             20 Votes I wonder how many people who visit the gigantic temple at Thiruvarangam, the first of the 108 Divyadesas and the very heart of the ShriVaishnava cult, know that the lord of the temple, Sri Aranganathan, got married to a muslim princess out of her love for him. And still fewer do actually know the tide of events that lead to this divine union and the series of interesting events that followed it. Here I lay forward the story of this strange marriage, a story that spans over sixty years, a story that transcends all religions to prove once again that God is indeed one. It was a time when the atrocities of the Muslim inveders were reaching new heights. Their hatred for idol worship made the hindus tremble, not in fear for their lives, but in fear of the possible damages that the holy idols in their hallowed temples would suffer.

Panihati Cida Dahi Preparations - Recipes by Srila Jayapataka Swami Guru Maharaj

Panihati Chida-dahi Recipes The recipes sent before, I hope you got it! They are for Mayapur and Bangladesh, because here in Mayapur, it is more like fruits of tropical origin – like mango, jack fruit, litchi etc.  But for other countries like UK, USA, I thought they could make a Berry Pot with all varieties of berries – strawberry, raspberry, blueberry, blackberry, even may be cherries, or you can make a pot by berry with cherries, or make a pot with stone fruits like peach, plum, nectarine cherry, all the stone fruits. In some countries those may be available. Like in Malaysia they have rambutan, and other fruits which are not available in other places. Anything  that fits! In the western countries they have different kind of melons – musk melon, cantaloupe, so they could make a mix with melon in little circles. . Similarly like in South India, they may have passion fruit and different fruits available, so they could use that. Wherever they have avocado available, they can make them
