About Athirathram

It is well-known that the vedic rituals have come down to us in two broad types, the Grhya and the Srauta. The Grhya system is concerned with rites of passage of an individual such as the initiatory rite of the upanayana or marriage later. The Srauta ritual, on the other hand, is solemn and exalted, show casing in oral tradition the great learning of the Sruti literature, comprising, in other words, the three Vedas, (Rig-Yajur-Sama-vedas) and their ancillary texts. Whereas the Grhya system is still extant almost all over India, the Srauta type has survived in only isolated pockets of Brahman groups.

The Nambudiri Brahmans of Kerala from one such pocket, keeping up live traditions of the Srauta rituals. Three types of Srauta rituals from their repertory, the agnyadhana, the agnistoma, and agnicayana-atiratra, the first one setting up the three fires of a Srauta ritual and being initiatory to the latter two, both Srauta ritals of the Soma class. The agnistoma, or Somayagam as it is known among the Nambudiris, is the prakrti or paradigmatic model of the Soma ritual, lasting five days. The agnicayana-athirathra is a vikrti-modification-of the agnistoma, Agni to the Nambudiris, lasting twelve days, a great spectacle and display of learning.

It is with great honour that we announce that an Agni or Athirathram is planned in Panjal from April 4-15, 2011. Panjal was also the site of an Athirathram, in 1975 what has become the stuff of legend and romance, often viewed to have caused a resurgence of the Nambudiri Srauta culture in the following decades. We have had two Athirathrams since then one at Kundoor in 1990 and other at Kizhakkancherry in 2006 and more than five Somayagams in different years and different sites.

chilukuru balaji temple

Chilukuru Balaji temple is named as VISA balaji. This is an anciant temple, 500 years back this was constructed. Here we can see Lord balaji. In the olden days people would have to visit Tirumala Balaji with lot of expenditure and time. Poor people could not have chance to see the Tirumala balaji, or Venkateswara, for this one Archaka who came from Tamilnadu constructed this temple. In the begening the archaka family went on fast because no offerings were made by the devotees and also not recognized the god, but later on some Marvadee families recognized the God Balaji and gave financial assistance to the temple, like that by help of the Marvady community Chilukuru Balaji temple maintained, later on people rushed to the temple to have a darshan. Some decated the temple archaka family went on fasting because of no funds came out of the people. Like more than 500 years the temple has been run by the Archaka family with hope and believe on God. Later on the temple got good belief among devotees surrounding villages, with this recognistion the temple went on welcoming dovotess. In the year of 2000 and later on some youth believed that by offering poojas and going merry go round the temple would yeald luck to them, by luck one youth got VISA by God's grace, this message was forwarded to all youth. Then youth thronged to the temple, mainly youth who need a VISA would come to the Balaji temple and merry go round to the temple to fulfull their wish. This became a custum in the temple to go merry go round the temple to fulfull one's wish. Like CHILUKURU BALAJI named after VISA BALAJI. Now the temple is in the highstake, but the temple archakas never insists any money for a darshan, or any donation. The archaka family never demands any donation from the devotees. This is the only temple in India a devotee no need any money to have a darshan. At the same time here all commercial shops were given to villages for free of rent. No rent was colleted. This is another great thing here one can see. Every body one's in their life time must visit this temple. Half an hour journy from Hyderabad city, or Mehedipatnam centre of Hyderabad.

THOUSAND PILLAR TEMPLE

This foto show is THOUSAND PILLARS TEMPLE of warangal. It was an anciant shiva temple, constructed by Rudrama devi dynasty. Thousand years  ego this shiva temple was built. It has number of stone sculptures one can enchant while on seeing. Kakateeya dynasty kings were God shiva devotees, so they built so many shiva temple across their kingdom of Kakateeya. But now it is ready to ruin. One thousand pillers dance mandapam was ruined by the Archialogy department, to rebuilt it, but years were going on but nobody bother about the rebuilt of the mandapa. This temple is telangansa historical monument but it is neglected now. Here ancient pont is neglected and is dumped with garbage. Every Shivaratri time a festival is arranged by the govt. Then it forgets about the maintanance of the historical rememberence. One can visit this historical monument by bus or train. BY train it will take one hour journey from Hyderabad. It is between warangal and Hanamakonda twin cities. One can see Warangal fort,Ramappa and Pakala cheruvu as tourists spot. In weekends come and enjoy the anciant flavour.
