    Hey! Dears..something for you’ll to ‘Relish and Rejuvenate’ upon over the week-end:

    I’m sure you’ll know Goddess Saraswathi as the ‘Ultimate Diva of Learning’..but She also has been instrumental in ‘Removing Myths’ that have been fabricated..by a few unwanted ‘social elements’:

    *A case in point is that of Her ‘Nakshatram’-Moolam-
    Even till date this particular Nakshatram is considered taboo for women. But by taking that for Her Star, She has loudly and clearly contradicted the ‘inauspicious halo’ surrounding it.’..


    *Not just this the ‘Navagraha’{Planet} for the star,Moolam is none other than Kethu or the Gnanakaragan,{one who bestows Knowledge},again going to re-iterate on the ‘Intellectual Aura’ encapsulating Moolam..


    *An interesting facet in the religious arena is also that Lord Hanuman too, born in Moolam star proves his bit that the star carries with it a host of virtues such as perseverance, courage, moral growth and a never-say-die-attitude!!!!


    *Again, the ‘thithi’-‘Navami’ is considered inauspicious for the performance of rituals et al..but here too, the Goddess, ‘Loved Herself', being born in this particular thithi-all done with the aim of adding a tinge of ‘Her Divinity’ to the otherwise forbidden thithi!!!!


    *Well! when talking about Anjaneya here-one cannot but help in recollecting yet another fascinating aspect:
    In a particular Shrine for Easwaran-

    *‘Thiruvalangadu’-there’s this very rare idol of Hanuman….playing the Veena-In fact it is said that He had rendered the ‘Amirthavarshini’ Raga..as a tribute to the Lord, Singeeswarar and His Consort, Pushpakujambal..

    Hundreds of musicians flood this temple to invoke the ‘Veenai Vaasikum Anjaneyar’s Blessings!

    Myths debunked through this post of yours Saras..
    He/She shows us the way, but we adamantly cling on to the superstitions and forget to cast our eyes on these 'positive facts'.

    Had a good darshan of Lord Hanuman with his veena too..

    Dear Bhargavi,

    Glad to get a first from you-and yes! at times we tend to overlook the halo of positivity around us!!

    Actually wanted to add a few more images of Lord Hanuman but let me do so in a subsequent blog..
    Thanks for visiting!!

    Dear Saras,
    Your blog should be printed in millions and be distributed to those heartless idiots who have rejected a girl because she was born on the Moola star. That's ridiculous.
    And you have given many interesting details - the Anjaneya playing the veena, and that too the Amirthavarshini Ragam, (not an easy task, for I too have tried to play that ragam on the Veena - it's a very heavy ragam and you will have to strain your fingers to give the gamakam effect in Veena)
    On the whole enjoyable read, Saras. I loved it.
    love,
    sridhar
