It is believed that Tirumular arrived in Tamil Nadu from the great Himalayas around 200 BCE.</span></p><p><span style="font-family: verdana;"><br />Thirumoolar is one of the greatest mystics that India has produced in its long history, Tirumoolar, was a great saint, traditionally allotted a date of 3000 BC and said to have lived for 3000 years, but is assigned by historians to the period between the 1000 BC to 800 BC by scholars.<br /><br />A Shiva saint Sundaranathan, a Veda scholar from Kailash, wanted to visit and stay with sage Agasthyar in the Podhikai mountains which is modern-day Tamil Nadu(India). He started on his journey southwards, praying at holy temples - Kedar, Srisailam, Thirukkalththi, Alavanam, and Kanchi taking holy baths in sacred rivers like Ganga, and reached river Cauvery. After taking a bath in the holy river and praying at the temple Thiruvavaduthurai, continued his journey southwards and then went back to Srilanka to his destination Podhikai Hills.<br /><br />Once released by inner orders to depart, he proceeded on to Tiruvalankadu, from where he set out to Kanchipuram, in what is now Tamil Nadu, the land of the Tamil Dravidian people, one of the oldest Caucasian races on the planet. The first temple to be visited was a Siva sanctuary in Kanchipuram representing the earth element, where the healing powers of Lord Siva are pronounced, profound, and famous. It was at the earth temple that he realized that it was among the Tamil people his mission was to take place. Yet, he was troubled by the fact that his physical body was of lighter complexion, taller than the Tamils, and that he was considered to be an outsider by all, and an intruder by some. Rishi Sundaranatha was dismayed and asked Lord Siva, at the temple of the earth element, how to find his way among the people that he was sent to bring his message to–the great Vedic-Agamic truths, the synthesis of Vedanta and Siddhanta, which was later to become the treatise of all times, loved and cherished by the Tamil people from then to now, in the twenty-first century, written in cryptic poetic outpourings.<br /><br />Lord Siva said, “Wait. The solution shall be revealed.” Without a definite answer to his prayers, Sundaranatha trekked off to Chidambaram deeper in the South. At Chidambaram he stayed longer, having the darshans of God Siva’s Ananda Tandava dance. Here the young sannyasi’s heart and soul melted in love, and here, too, he moved daily with two other of his gurubhais, brother monks of Maharishi Nandinatha–sages Patanjali and Vyaghrapada. <br /><br />Patanjali, author of the Yoga Sutras, ultimate monist, and Vyaghrapada, foremost devotee and Siva bhakta, deeply impressed Sundaranatha, who embraced his fellow disciples who had been sent South by Nandinatha several years before. Thereafter, Sundaranatha was to become the foremost spokesman of monistic theism, the Saiva path which radiates both Patanjali’s yogic attainment and Vyaghrapada’s yogic devotion of total theistic surrender.<br /><br />His brother Sannyasins soon availed him of the ins and outs of the local area and community. One day, walking about as he was wont to do, he entered a dense forest. There he stumbled upon an ancient Sivalinga and immediately fell to the ground in spontaneous surrender. It was a potent Linga, but small, about 50 centimeters high in its black granite bana. Sundaranatha’s worship, so perfectly unself-conscious, so oblivious of anything but the object of his homage which was inclusive of himself in some inexplicably joyous way, empowered that once-neglected Siva icon. He continued the worship, and today this Sivalinga is enshrined in a small shrine within the 35-acre Chidambaram Temple compound.<br /><br />Leaving his brother monks in the sleepy village of Chidambaram, he crossed the Kaveri River and reached Tiruvavaduthurai, a Saiva center that has the honor of holding the samadhi shrine of this great Natha siddhar, though present-day managers of the sacred monastery say the disposition of his actual remains is not known. Lord Siva captured him here, and he was reluctant to leave.<br /><br />Walking one day on the banks of the Kaveri, he came upon a herd of cows bellowing in distress, mourning the death of their cowherd, whose body lay lifeless nearby. Sundaranatha’s compassion proved overwhelming as he felt the pain of these bereaved creatures. His soul reached out to assuage their distress. Rishi Sundaranatha wanted to bring solace to the cows. Being a great adept of Siddha yoga, an accomplished raja yogi, he conceived a strategy to assume the herder’s body. He first looked for a place to hide his physical body and found a hollow log. Then crawling into the log, where his body would be safe, he entered a mesmeric, cataleptic trance, stepped out in his astral body, walked over to the dead cowherd, whose name was Mular, lay down on top of the corpse, entered it and slowly brought it back to life. The first thing he saw upon reanimating Mular’s body was one of the most favored and intelligent cows, crying big tears from both eyes. These were tears of joy. All the cows now gathered around their beloved Mular, licking his face and body with their abrasive tongues and bellowing in bovine joy. After a time, being satisfied their cowherd was alive, they began to graze as usual, and the sight gladdened the heart of our Rishi. As evening fell, the cattle began walking back to the village, leading a newly embodied Mular behind them. Mular’s wife was waiting at the village gate for her husband, who was late. The woman was alone, with neither children nor relatives. She felt a strangeness in her husband and began to weep. Sundaranatha told her he had no connection with her whatsoever, and instead of entering the home, he went back to a monastery that he had passed on the way. Mular’s wife informed the villagers of her husband’s strange behavior, soliciting their aid. They approached the monastery, speaking with her supposed husband, whose deep knowledge and presence baffled them.<br /><br />Returning to Mular’s wife, they told her that far from being in a state of mental instability, as she had described, he appeared to be a Siva yogi, whose greatness they could not fathom. Mular’s wife was sorely troubled, but she was also a chaste and modest woman and reconciled herself to the fact that her husband was somehow no longer the same person, and she prayed to Lord Ganesha for help. Soon the villagers began to call the transformed cowherd Tirumular, or “holy Mular.”<br /><br />Eager now to be free of this unforeseen entanglement, Rishi Sundaranatha sought out the body he had left near the pasture. Returning to the hollow log, he looked inside and found that his body was not there. He searched for days and days, looking in every hollow log he could find, and even some logs that proved not to be hollow. Finally, in desperation, he sat in padmasana upon the hollow log where he had left his North Indian body. Entering deep yoga samadhi, he contacted his guru, Maharishi Nandinatha. They mentally communicated, and the explanation was that Lord Siva Himself, through His great power of dissolution, had dissolved the atomic structure of the North Indian body after he was well settled and adjusted to his Tamilian cow herder’s body, with the boon that he could now speak fluent Tamil. Tirumular then realized that this was the answer to the prayers he offered at Kanchipuram. He saw that now he could effectively give out to the world in the Tamil language the great truths of the Saiva Agamas and the precious Vedas, uniting Siddhanta with Vedanta for all time.<br /><br />Sitting under the shade of the Arasu tree in the ultimate Shiva yoga he gave the holy Thirumandhiram which consists of over 3000 verses each verse sung every year before he attained salvation. These verses given out by him spontaneously every now and then when he came back to consciousness from his trance, are his invaluable contribution to all future generations. The legendary beauty of it is that he came back to consciousness only once a year. The interesting legend about this is one of the greatest mysteries of ancient Tamil history.<br /><br />Thirumandiram is indeed a spiritual encyclopedia. It contains a synthesis of all knowledge right from the Upanishad times down to the then-modern days of devotional revival, goes through all the maze and mystery of yoga and tantra, contains very strong criticisms of idol worship, condemns external gymnastics of occult practices, and expounds the esoteric significance of almost every kind of ritual and tradition. He even wrote in Thirumandiram about the various stages of development of a baby in its mother's womb. It is profound to the core, set in a simple and cryptic style. The careful and rhythmic way in most of the verses can be enjoyed if one knows the Tamil language. He is said to have absorbed the teachings of Shri Patanjali Maharishi.</span></p>Abhiparhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00288042489623762358noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8601990273479526025.post-5937963916321065792023-08-14T14:48:00.000+05:302023-08-14T14:48:22.301+05:30Madhusudan Saraswati<p></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhFWfRFtKN4POVsbeIFYR3DCnpWuYilXsiobYcoiBGPBlfK6mNrl2kCjZpAHcWR-0mwBnqYAMDO_8T0uonsdQz58WJ4RDlLHYW1nBB2eRyUadYD5_Wsi6SVYyLMpt1yYTEdiKCZG_BoHko8XJxhbhW71euEE0g2HsxfLx1vTFecREBhQ_rhfD9FNyK2byK8/s1393/Madhusudana_Saraswati.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="970" data-original-width="1393" height="446" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhFWfRFtKN4POVsbeIFYR3DCnpWuYilXsiobYcoiBGPBlfK6mNrl2kCjZpAHcWR-0mwBnqYAMDO_8T0uonsdQz58WJ4RDlLHYW1nBB2eRyUadYD5_Wsi6SVYyLMpt1yYTEdiKCZG_BoHko8XJxhbhW71euEE0g2HsxfLx1vTFecREBhQ_rhfD9FNyK2byK8/w640-h446/Madhusudana_Saraswati.jpg" width="640" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><b><span style="color: red; font-size: medium;">“Madhusudan Saraswati"</span></b><br /><br />Sri Madhusudan Saraswati was born in the Kotalipara sub-division of Faridpur district (now in Bangladesh) in 1526. His father’s name was Purandaracharya, and he was a great scholar of Dharmasastra and Sanskrit literature. He was the fourth son of his parents. From a very early age, his profound knowledge of the Hindu Sastras and Sanatan Dharma spread all over the country.<br /><br />He was initiated into a life of renunciation and self-denial (Sannyasa) at a tender age and he led the life of a mendicant. He traveled throughout the country, defending the Vedic religion against all heretics and critics. Also, he inspired the people to a life of renunciation and earnest endeavor to achieve salvation.<br /><br />In the course of time, he come to be regarded as a great saint who was the object of veneration not only of his own disciples but also of people at large…In the later period of his life, people recognized him as a great Vedantic sannyasi after Shankaracharya and Swami Vidyaranya.<br /><br />He lived for 107 years and during this long period, he came in contact with the renowned Rishis, Viz. Sri Visweswar Saraswati, Goswami _Tulsidas (of Ramcharit Manas), Narayan Bhatta (of South India), Vedanta Kesari Swami Ramthirtha, Madhav Saraswati, etc.<br /><br />The chief characteristic of Madhusudan’s life was an assimilation of Advaita-Jnan with Bhakti, Dualism, and non-dualism and the practice of his yoga philosophy. He had composed many religious books of which the most important was “Advaita-Siddhi”. Also, he was a great commentator on Srimad Bhagavad Gita. Following his father’s instruction, he went to Nabadwip to learn Naya and other Shastras. He was initiated as a Sanyasi with the consent of his parents. At the age of eight „years, he became a scholar of Kavya, grammar, and Sanskrit literature—from the Nabadwip school. The teachers there taught not only Naya-shastra, Dualism (man and God) but also Sankarcharya’s Non-dualism (Advaita). He wanted to refute (free from) Sankara’s Advaitavad. For that purpose, he went to Varanasi, the center of Vedantism.<br /><br />At Varanasi, he became a student and afterward the disciple of Vedanta Kesari Swami Ramtirtha, who taught him the inner significance of, Advaitaism and Dualism. There he met Goswami Tulsidas and discussed with him the main aspects of religion. Here one day the incorporeal soul of Mahayogi Gorakhnathji met Madhusudan and blessed him in his life’s mission.<br /><br />Swami Satyananda—Saraswati’, the President of Nigamanda Saraswata Math’, expressed his desire for a discussion with, himself in the way of a disciple with Madhusudan Saraswati a Guru. Madhusudan Saraswati said that the Veneration for Acharya or Guru is not a temporary phase, but should remain everlasting. Thereby he obliquely hinted that he would regard Madhusudan Saraswati as Guru for the rest of his life and hereafter; Sankaracharya reserved his reverence for Guru throughout his lifelong activities. The illustrious Madhusudan Saraswati, the author of “Advaita-Siddhi” has established a magnificent synthesis between wisdom and devotion. His self-resignation or surrender, to Lord Krishna, is remarkable.<br /><br />In the commentary on the Srimad Bhagavad Gita, Madhusudan pointed out three stages of dedication :<br /><br />a) I belong to none but Him only ;<br />b) He is of none else but mine; and<br />c) He and I are one and the same, identical in all respects.<br /><br /><b><span style="color: #2b00fe;">List of Works</span></b><br /><br />Advaita-siddhi (अद्वैतसिद्धिः) <br />Advaita-manjari (अद्वैतमञ्जरी)<br />Advaita-ratna-raksana (अद्वैतरत्नरक्षणम्)<br />Atma-bodha-tika (आत्मबोधटीका)<br />Ananda-mandakini (आनन्दमन्दाकिनी)<br />Prasthanabheda (प्रस्थानभेदः)<br />Bhagavad-gita-gudhartha-dipika (भगवद्गीता-गूढार्थदीपिका)<br />Vedanta-kalpa-latika (वेदान्तकल्पलतिका) <br />Sastra-siddhanta-lesa-tika (शास्त्रसिद्धान्तलेशटीका)<br />Samksepa-sariraka-sara-samgraha (सङ्क्षेपशारीरकसारसङ्ग्रहः)<br />Siddhanta-tatva-bindu (सिद्धान्ततत्त्वबिन्दुः / सिद्धान्तबिन्दुः)<br />Pramahamsa-priya (परमहंसप्रिया - भागवताद्यश्लोकव्याख्या)<br />Veda-stuti-tika (वेदस्तुतिटीका)<br />Asta-vikriti-vivarana (अष्टविकृतिविवरणम्)<br />Rajanam-prtibodha<br />Isvara-pratipatti-prakasa (ईश्वरप्रतिपत्तिप्रकाशः)<br />Bhagavata-bhakti-rasayana (भगवद्भक्तिरसायनम्)<br />Krishna-kutuhala-nataka (कृष्णकुतूहलम्)<br />Bhakti-samanya-nirupana (भक्तिसामान्यनिरूपणम्) <br />Sandilya-sutra-tika (शाण्डिल्यभक्तिसूत्रटीका)<br />Hari-lila-vakhya (हरिलीलाव्याख्या)<br />shivamahimnastotra-TIkA (शिवमहिम्नःस्तोत्रटीका)<br /><br /><b><span style="color: #2b00fe;">Quotes on Madhusudana Saraswati</span></b><br /><br />Madhusūdana has so accomplished in Navya Nyaya (New logic) techniques that the following verse is quoted about him when he visited Navadvipa, the center for learning in Nyaya Shastra.<br /><br /><i><span style="color: #ff00fe;">नवद्वीपे समायाते मधुसूदनवाक्पतौ<br /><br />चकम्पे तर्कवागीशः कातरोऽभूद्गदाधरः</span></i><br /><br />Meaning: When MadhusUdana, the master of speech, came to navadvIpa, MathurAnAtha tarkavAgIsha (who was the foremost navya naiyAyika during those times) trembled (with fear) and GadAdhara (another logician of great repute) became afraid.<br /><br />A few words about the authors. MadhusUdana sarasvatI is a towering giant among advaitins. An oft quoted verse regarding him is,<br /><br /><i><span style="color: #ff00fe;">मधुसूदनसरस्वत्याः पारं वेत्ति सरस्वती पारं वेत्ति सरस्वत्याः मधुसूदनसरस्वती</span></i><br /><br />Meaning: (Only) the Goddess of Learning, Sarasvati knows the limits of (knowledge of) Madhusūdana Sarasvati. And Madhusūdana Sarasvati knows the limits of (knowledge of) Goddess Sarasvati.<br /><br /><b><span style="color: #2b00fe;">Follower of Bhakti Yoga</span></b><br /><br />Madhusūdana Sarasvatī was a great devotee of Lord Krishna. Just like Appayya Dikshita, who integrated Sivādvaita into advaita vedanta, Madhusūdana bridged the sAtvata school of Pancaratra Vaishnavism and Advaita Vedanta philosophy. Madhusūdana boldly differs from Adi Sankara in some of his interpretations of the Brahma Sutras and the Gītā, although he salutes Adi Sankara and Suresvara in the most reverential terms. Tradition also recounts that Viṭṭhalesa, the son of Vallabhacharya of the Suddhadvaita school, studied under Madhusūdana Sarasvatī, who thus forms a crucial link between Advaita Vedanta and many Vaiṣṇava sects in the north.<br /><br />It is also mentioned at some places that Madhusūdana Sarasvatī was one of the major judges on whether, Tulsi das ji's "Ramcharit Manas", written in AWADHI, should be allowed or should be discontinued. Madhusūdana Sarasvatī favored the idea of allowing "Ramcharit Manas". This is also seen as a major achievement towards popularising the BHAKTI movement. Being an Advaitin, this was considered a bold step in those days.<br /><br />He entered the maha samadhi in 1632.</div><br /> <p></p>Abhiparhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00288042489623762358noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8601990273479526025.post-75474637879119704732023-08-12T09:48:00.000+05:302023-08-12T09:48:26.622+05:30My Thoughts ....... 23<p><span style="font-family: verdana;"> </span></p><div class="gmail_default" dir="auto"><span style="font-family: verdana;"><br /></span></div><div class="gmail_default" dir="auto"><span style="font-family: verdana;">1) A baby in the womb needs a mother's womb to grow, but the same womb becomes a hindrance for its growth in the 10th month, nature has designed a beautiful system where the baby comes out and grows on its own, the same way we have to come out of our limited self and grow to unlimited one!</span></div><div class="gmail_default" dir="auto"><span style="font-family: verdana;"><br /></span></div><div class="gmail_default" dir="auto"><span style="font-family: verdana;">2) For some, Silence is Bliss, for some, it is a death knell, silence remains the same, it is the perception of the individual mind!</span></div><div class="gmail_default" dir="auto"><span style="font-family: verdana;"><br /></span></div><div class="gmail_default" dir="auto"><span style="font-family: verdana;">3) Independence from dependence is Moksha and Dependence on dependence is Samsara!

discipline, gratitude to God, and spiritual ethos. “Diya” means the auspicious
lamp lit in every Hindu house in India. It is believed to bring prosperity,
welfare, and positivity in and around us. This tradition is being followed by
Hindus since ancient times as part of Indian culture and tradition. Significance
of lighting a lamp or diya is simple, but deep – to spread the light, the light
of spiritual knowledge. In some places, diya is also called Jyothi.</p><p class="MsoNormal"><br />
The lighting of the lamp is an inevitable tradition in all Hindu festivals,
ceremonies, and even during puja. The significance of lighting diya is more if
it is in the morning. Most of the householders following the Indian culture and
tradition do light the lamp in the early morning hours and in the evenings.</p><p class="MsoNormal"><br />
Let us now look at the scientific reason and significance of lighting diya. The
lamp is lit by filling ghee or oil – either sesame oil or coconut oil. It
represents the negativity of the mind. One end of the cotton wick is burnt by
soaking it in oil or ghee. The oil or ghee will get exhausted as the wick
continues to burn by emitting light. The dirt in the mind vanishes with the
fire gradually. Fire represents the supreme knowledge to uplift the human mind
spiritually. It gives us an important message that spiritual knowledge alone
can purify our mind by destroying the negativities in the mind.</p><p></p><p class="MsoNormal"><br />
Logically too, a lamp lit in a dark room will remove the darkness.
Symbolically, it is leading the individual to the supreme knowledge. It is
ultimately the removal of ignorance, that is darkness with the help of light.
This very purpose is experienced by the devotee if the lighting of the lamp is
practiced every day. Following is the mantra explaining the significance of
lighting diya.<br />
<!--[if !supportLineBreakNewLine]--><br />
<!--[endif]--></p><p style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</p><p class="MsoNormal"><i><span style="color: #2b00fe;">Asato maa sad-gamaya (Lead us from Untruth to Truth)<br />
Tamaso maa jyotir-gamaya (From Darkness to Light)<br />
Mrytyor-Maa Amritam Gamaya (From Death to Immortality)<br />
OM shaanti shaanti shaanti (OM peace, peace peace)</span></i><br />
<br />
<br />Though we find a lot of decorated diyas, it is primarily representing the light
of knowledge by removing the darkness of ignorance. Most of the Hindus worship
the tulsi plant, the Pipal tree by lighting a lamp around the tree. It not only
helps to create a spiritual ambiance in and around the place but also shows
gratitude toward the plants, trees, and nature. We can experience the positive
energy after lighting the lamp at home, in our puja room.<br />
<br />
The significance of lighting the lamp can be easily experienced if the lamp is
regularly lit in the puja room every day. There is a belief among the Hindus
that the evening hours are filled with negative energies in the atmosphere. It
is considered that having food during this time and engaging in any other
entertainment activities is not good for the mind. This is the time mostly
recommended for puja by lighting the lamp.<br />
<br />
Every temple in India becomes spiritually active by lighting the lamp during
these hours. There are a lot of temples in India where the main lamp is never
turned down and is kept continuously lit. It depicts the significance of
lighting the lamp by spreading positivity. Continuous chanting of sacred
mantras is practiced in most of the temples in India for the welfare of the
world. Other than during festivals, pooja, and celebrations, people also light
the lamp during housewarming ceremonies, social functions, etc. Most of the
auspicious functions and ceremonies observed and celebrated by Hindu families
start by lighting the lamp.<br />

Most people use lamps made of brass in their puja room. It is a symbolic
expression of the “Knowledge Principle” – the source behind the energy
sustaining life in this whole universe. A lamp is always lit in front of the
favorite deity as a surrender to get blessings. It is also a symbolic act to
burn our ego in front of our favorite deity. Adding to this, the flame of a
lamp always burns upwards.<br />
<br />
Similarly, we should acquire such knowledge which helps us to live a life with
higher ideals and principles. Light is an inevitable part of our everyday life.
We always remember our teachers and gurus as the guiding lights. They are the
ones who inspired us. We always pray for a bright future. Spreading the light
by lighting the diya or lamp can be understood from various dimensions:<br />
<br />
There is a heritage of lighting the lamp in Indian values, tradition, and
culture. The lighting of the lamp symbolizes the victory of good over evil.
These instances can be found in all Hindu Puranas like Mahabharat, Ramayan,
etc. When lit at the entrance of our homes, it symbolizes inviting prosperity
and success in the life of family members. A peaceful atmosphere is created by
lighting the lamp in the evenings and early mornings. It should be noted that
if lit in the early morning hours, the positivity is retained in the puja room
throughout the day.<br />
<br />
Lighting the lamp during significant occasions and any new beginnings
symbolizes prosperity and welfare. Some people even lit the lamp in office
rooms too as a remembrance of God.<br />
<br />
It also helps to clean up the air, especially during some weather conditions.
Lighting diya in a clay pot is most recommended as they are
environment-friendly, and don’t leave a much harmful residue, which is the case
with many other forms of light.<br />
<br />
Lamps are lit at home for the welfare of the family, happy married life, etc.
Sometimes it is also for the birth of a child. The lamp also represents the
Goddess Rajarajeshwari – She is regarded as the combined force of Durga,
Lakshmi &amp; Saraswathi.<br />
<br />

The Laddu Prasadam is prepared by the Temple board Tirumala Tirupati Devasthanams within the temple kitchen known as Potu.<br /><br />The laddu is celebrating its diamond jubilee in 2015, had emerged in its present form of a ball in 1940 under the Madras Government. Though as prasadam in loose form was known to have appeared in the itinerary of Lord Venkateswara from about 1803. But in Inscriptions, Srivari temple indicated the presence of the Laddu prasadam and termed as ‘manoharam’ in 1480.<br /><br />During the time of Pallavas, prasadam was offered to the presiding deity. Later, Devaraya II gave a grant of three villages and a gift of 200 panam for certain daily offerings. In addition, another officer of the Devaraya II administration, Amatya Shekara Mallanna was made in charge of arrangements for Naivedyam and Nityadipam to Lord Venkateswara. He introduced the timetable for food offering to the Lord.<br /><br />The Tirumala Temple received liberal patronage under the Vijayanagara rulers. The name given in the inscription is Avasaram, the word Avas in Sanskrit means food. This term is noticed even in three previous inscriptions of the year 1554, 1579, and 1616. The inscriptions also made it clear that there was a similar food offering instituted by one Maharaja Sri Shudaji Bhanuji Pantulu.<br /><br />The architect of the ‘Laddu Empire’ is Kalyanam Iyengar. He was the brain behind making Laddu synonymous with Tirupati. He introduced the Mirasidari System to prepare Laddus. Those preparing laddus in the kitchen (potu) were called as Gamekar Mirasidars. The Mirasidars enjoyed the privilege to prepare Laddus and get their Share till AD 2001. Out of each lot of 51 laddus, 11 were given to Mirasi Brahmin families later AP government abolished the Mirasidari system in 2001.<br /><br />Dittam is the list of ingredients and its proportions used in making Tirupati Laddu More than 2.78 lakh sweet balls are rolled out every day by an all-male, all-Brahmin kitchen staff of 350. And you won’t believe the amount of ingredients they use! The kitchen uses around 10,000 kilos of ghee, 12,000 kilos of besan, 2,000 kilos of cashew nuts, 1,000 kilos of raisins, 300 kilos of cardamom, 600 kilos of sugar crystals, 25,000 kilos of sugar daily. <br /><br /><p><b>Types of Laddu</b></p><br /><span style="color: red;"><b>Asthanam</b></span><br /><br />This Laddu is prepared on special festive occasions only and weighs 750 Grams. It is prepared with more cashews, Almonds, and Saffron flowers than other laddus.<br /><br /><b><span style="color: red;">Kalyanotsavam Laddu</span></b><br /><br />These are distributed to devotees who participate in Kalyanotsavam and a few Arjitha seva. There is a huge demand for these laddus. These are prepared in very fewer numbers when compared to Proktham Laddu<br /><br /><b><span style="color: red;">Proktham Laddu</span></b><br /><br />This is normal laddu which is distributed to Common pilgrims. It is smaller in size out of three and weighs 175 grams. These laddus are prepared in huge numbers.<br /><br />As the lord Venkateswara Swamy temple is the world’s most visited temple. As a rule, one can have only two laddus, this was introduced to prevent black marketing of Tirupati Laddus, in 2008. The Tirumala Tirupati Devasthanams registered for a Geographical indication tag for Tirupati Laddu. So TTD is the only one who has the right to make and sell these Tirupati Laddus!</div><br /> <p></p>Abhiparhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00288042489623762358noreply@blogger.com0
