Hanuman Jayanti Special - Sri Anjaneyam by Brahmasri Samavedam garu

Hanumanh Jayanti or Hanumath Jayanti is celebrated to commemorate the birth of Hanuman, the Vanara god, widely venerated throughout India. The event is celebrated on the 15th day of the Shukla Paksha, during the month of Chaitra (the Chaitra Pournimaa).

Hanuman is an ardent devotee of Lord Rama and is worshipped for his unflinching devotion to that god. From early morning, devotees flock Hanuman temples to worship him.

Hanuman Jayanti is an important festival of Hindus. Hanuman is the symbol of strength and energy. Hanuman is said to be able to assume any form at will, wield rocks, move mountains, dart through the air, seize the clouds and rival Garuda in swiftness of flight. He is worshipped as a deity with magical powers and the ability to conquer evil spirits.


The devotees visit temples and apply tilaka of sindoor to their foreheads from Hanuman's idol as Hanuman himself was of that color. A few thousand years before Ramayan time (in the latter part of Tretayuga – 2 million years ago), several divine souls came to Earth and modified the bodies of ape like creatures through evolutionary methods (genetic mutation) so that the animals could play the role of vehicles for these divine souls. That's how the Vanara race with reddish orange color (hues of deep orange and light red) was established before the Ramayan. In South India, especially Tamil Nadu Hanumaan jayanthi is celebrated on the Margazhi month of Moola nakshathram. It is said that Hanumaan was born on the moola nakshathra in Marghazi month.

Hanuman Jayanti in Telangana and Andhra Pradesh is on May 31, 2016. Hanuman Jayanthi is celebrated for 41-days which starts on Chaitra Purnima and ends on the tenth day during Krishna Paksha in Vaishakha month. In Telangana and Andhra Pradesh devotees begin 41-days Deeksha on Chaitra Purnima and conclude it on Hanuman Jayanthi day (May 31, 2016).

In Maharashtra, Hanuman Jayanti is celebrated on the full moon day (pūrnima) of the Hindu lunar month of Chaitra. A special feature of Hanuman Jayanti is that according to some religious almanacs (panchāngs) the birthday of Hanuman falls on the fourteenth day (chaturdashi) in the dark fortnight of the month of Ashvin while according to others it falls on the full moon day in the bright fortnight of Chaitra. On this day, in a Hanuman temple spiritual discourses are started at dawn. Hanuman was born at sunrise. At that time the spiritual discourse is stopped and the offering of food (Prasad) is distributed to everyone.

Spiritual discourses are organised in most of the Hindu temples on this day. Hanuman was the most powerful in the three people the Heaven people, the Hell people, and the Land people. All these Gods had blessed him when he was just a 1/2-year-old child.

Pothuluri Veerabrahmam (or Pothuluri Veerambotlayya or Veerappayacharyulu or Veerabrahmendra Swamy) & Brahmamgaru was a well-known sage in the 16th century. He has been credited to be the "future predictor (fore-teller)" of his time[by whom?] '. He is the author of 'Kaala Gnanam' which is the work of chanting poems with future predictions where most of the predictions came true and continuing to happen. He had thousands of disciples who followed his principles and theories.

There is no historical evidence about Veerabrahmam's exact date of birth but believed to be in 1608. The legend born to religious couple 'Paripurnayacharya' and 'Prakruthamba' of a vishwabrahmina family near the river Saraswathi in Brahmandapuram village. The couple sacrifed Swamy's birth and Veerambotlayya was brought up at Atri Mahamuni Ashram near Kashi. Later, Veerabhojayacharya, Head of the Paapagni Mutt, Chikballapur, Karnataka, was on his pilgrimage tour with his wife. The couple visited the Sage Atri Ashram, and Sage Atri gave the child to the Veerabhojayacharya and Prakruthamba couple. The Veerabhojayacharya couple took the child as God's gift, and returned to Paapagni Mutt. The child was named as 'Veeram Bhotlaiah'. Veerabrahmendra Swamy, as Veerambhotliah at Paapagni Mutt, at the age of 11, authored the Kalikamba Sapthashathi (the manuscript written in praise of goddess Kalikamba). A few days later, Veerabhojayacharya sacrifed and Veerambhotlayya told his step mother that he has refused to take homage responsibilities and started his spiritual journey. His prime disciple was 'Siddaiah', who was a Muslim by birth.

People started listening to his chantings and philosophical poems and with due respect, called him 'Srimadvirat Pothuluri Veera Brahmendra Swami'.Thousands of people gathered to hear his famous Kaalagnanam(Over 14000 Prophecy's). He predicted that amrutam will come out from bark of a tree which took place near markolpalli . For 3 days from trees bark and the interesting thing is no human could touch it or drinkthe moment someone placed their hands amrutam would disappear or stop coming out It is credited that he predicted Ramakrishna Hegde, M.G.R and NTR to rule in democracy. He predicted the Kurnool floods. According to his followers, almost 90 percent of his predictions came true. The much publicized Yaganti Basavaiah to live and shout is yet to happen. There are many stories in Andhra Pradesh about his life, but very few of them are backed with historical evidence.

Sri Veerabrahmendra Swamy went into 'Jeevasamadhi' in year 1694 AD, equivalent to Kaliyug 4694 on Vaishak Shudha Dashami.

In later period of Kaliyug end, Veerabrahmendra Swamy would take re-birth as Veerabhogavasantharayulu and rule for 1008 years.

Kaliyuga’s 5000 years hence starting from the years by name ‘Prabhava’ to ‘Pardhiva’ there would be many cataclysms all over the world. Mass deaths of people, animals, and soldiers would happen. Fire bursts, poisonous gases, volcanic eruptions, torrential rains, tornados, world wars, landslides, explosions in mountains, killings by lifeless machines, deluges in rivers and oceans would wipe out lives on a large scale. World War-II ended in last Pardhiva (1945); again the next Pardhiva was 2005 before which we had seen Tsunami which claimed 230,210lives. When Saturn enters Zodiac sign Gemini, many sinners would be killed. And in the year named ‘Ananda’ ‘Kali Dharma’ would decline. (This means again loss of lives to relieve the burden of earth). When Saturn enters a zodiac he remains there for 2.5 years as per astrological calculations; but when he enters Gemini, due to the effect of Kalagyana, that period remains devastating to the world. Saturn entered Gemini in the years 1913, 1943, 1973, and 2003. In 1913 (created World War-1 where causalities were 37 million), 1943 (killed 50-70 million in World War-2), 1973 (Famine of 1974 in Bangladesh claiming 1,000,000 lives, Cyclone named 'Super Typhoon Nina' in China claiming 210,000 lives), 1973 (Dhaka Tornado of 1973 claimed 681 lives, & Banqiao Dam failure- China in 1975 claimed 231,000 lives), 2003 (Bam earthquake- Iran claiming 26,271 lives, European heat wave claiming 40,000 lives, Indian Ocean Tsunami of Indonesia in 2004 claimed 230,210 lives, Kashmir Earthquake of 2005 claimed 79,000 lives). The year named ‘Ananda’ repeated itself in 1915 and 1974 whose death tolls have been mentioned above. “Fair faced (Sweta Mukhi) people would rule this country. This verse foretells about British rule on India.

Sri Madvirat Veerabrahmendra Swamy Charitra Telugu Full Length Movie - NTR, Bala Krishna
Sri Pothuluri Veera Brahmendra Swamy a Hindu mystic, born in 1610 in Kadapa district of Andra Pradesh state in India. He is the author of Kaalagnaana, a collection of predictions about future or prophecies, a Telugu text that predicts the arrival of Kalki in the form of Sri Veerabhoga Vasantaraaya.

According to Vedas (Hindu scriptures), the Almighty is Viswakarma (the Creator of Universe and The Father of Vedas (Vedapitha)) and His Wife is Gayathri (Mother of Vedas (Vedamatha)), and their five sons (who are be called Pancha Brahmas) are Lord Manu Brahma (Lord Siva), Lord Maya Brahma (Lord Vishnu), Lord Thwashtru Brahma (Lord Brahma), Lord Shilpi Brahma (Lord Indra) and Lord Viswagna Brahma (Lord Surya).

Out of the Pancha Brahmas, Lord Maya Brahma (Lord Vishnu) had taken many incarnations whenever the world is at stake and in turmoil. Ten incarnations of Lord Maya Brahma (Lord Vishnu) are given much importance and the forthcoming incarnation is Lord Kalki/Lord Veera Bhoga Vasantha Raaya. Before taking incarnation as Lord Kalki/Lord Veera Bhoga Vasantha Raaya, it is evidently believed that Lord Maya Brahma (Lord Vishnu) has taken incarnation as Sri Pothuluri Veera Brahmendra Swamy, who will come into action as Lord Kalki/Lord Veera Bhoga Vasantha Raaya.

Kalagnanam(Kalajnan), literally meaning 'Knowledge of Time' was written by Sri Pothuluri Veera Brahmendra Swamy, who lived in Andhra Pradesh State of India, about 400 years ago and went in Jeeva Samadhi (entry into grave alive) (still alive and prosecuting penance in Jeeva Samadhi) at Kandimallayapalle (popularly known as Brahmamgari Matham (Mutt) (Lat. 14N50 Long. 78E50), in Kadapa District of Andhra Pradesh State, Bharat(India).

Kalagnanam was written in Telugu Language and 'Sandra Sindhu Veda' on palm leaves, and Sri Veera Brahmendra Swamy's sayings and ballads are being sung by wandering minstrels and mendicants. They are in the oral tradition. Most of his predictions have come true and rest is yet to come true. It is stated that Kalagnanam of the entire World contains 3,32,000 volumes. A small part of Kalagnanam is available in Brahmamgari Matham at Kandimallayapalle, Siddhayyagari Matham at Mudumala, Rangarajugari Matham at Nagaripadu, and the remaining major part is kept in the inner pit of Banaganapalle Mutt under tamarind sprout which has grown into a big tree now. In every village and town of Andhra Pradesh, and in some parts of South India, we find a shrine in the name of 'Brahmamgari gudi'and we don't find a single person in Andhra Pradesh, who does not mention Sri Veera Brahmendra Swamy's name and his Kalagnanam, at least once in his lifetime. His devotees call him as Jejinayana(Great-Grand Father) also. The impact of His Teachings and World predictions is beginning to be felt in other parts of India too and it would not be surprising if he and his predictions become internationally known very soon.

Sri Veera Brahmendra Swamy wrote in his Kalagnanam that he was incarnation of Lord Vishnu and would come again as Lord Kalki/Lord Veera Bhoga Vasantha Raaya to restore dharma and peace on the earth. And devotees believe that he would rescue them whenever they plead him; and he will come out from the Jeeva Samadhi when the blood of thousands of people, who beheaded with frustration when the calamities reach peak stage, touches his Jeeva Samadhi. (It may be noted that like Lord Rama came to earth when Lord Parasurama is still in existence, Lord Veera Bhoga Vasantha Raaya came to earth while both Lord Parasurama and Lord Veera Brahmendra Swamy are still on the earth. The date of Sri Veera Brahmendra Swamy's coming out from Jeeva Samadhi and of Lord Kalki/LordVeera Bhoga Vasantha Raaya is different).

Some of the highlighted points from the Kalagnanam of Sri Veera Brahmendra Swamy are, according to my calculations, as follows and I may be forgiven if errors are found in interpretation of Kalagnanam.

Unbelievable Facts about India

"India is, the cradle of the human race, the birthplace of human speech, the mother of history, the grandmother of legend, and the great grandmother of tradition. Our most valuable and most instructive materials in the history of man are treasured up in India only."

These are not our words. These are the words of the great Mark Twain. And here are Indians facts to support his statement.

Shri Madhvacharya

Madhva Acharya (1238–1317 CE), also known as Purna Prajña and Ananda Tīrtha, was a Hindu philosopher and the chief proponent of the Dvaita (dualism) school of Vedanta. Madhva called his philosophy as "Tattvavada" meaning "the realist viewpoint".

Madvacharaya was born on the west coast of Karnataka state in 13th-century India. As a teenager, he became a Sanyasin (monk) joining Brahma-sampradaya guru Achyutapreksha, of the Ekadandi order. Madhva studied the classics of Hindu philosophy, particularly the Principal Upanishads, the Bhagavad Gita and the Brahma Sutras (Prasthanatrayi). He commented on these, and is credited with thirty seven works in Sanskrit. His writing style was of extreme brevity and condensed expression. His greatest work is considered to be the Anuvyakhyana, a philosophical supplement to his bhasya on the Brahma Sutras composed with a poetic structure. In some of his works, he proclaimed himself to be an avatar of Vayu, the son of god Vishnu.

He was a critic of Adi Shankara's Advaita Vedanta and Ramanuja's Vishishtadvaita Vedanta teachings. He toured India several times, visiting places such as Bengal, Varanasi, Dwarka, Goa and Kanyakumari, engaging in philosophical debates and visiting Hindu centers of learning. Madhva established the Krishna Mutt at Udupi with a murti secured from Dwarka Gujarat in 1285 CE.

Madhvācārya's teachings are built on the premise that there is a fundamental difference between Atman (individual soul, self) and the Brahman (ultimate reality, God Vishnu), these are two different unchanging realities, with individual soul dependent on Brahman, never identical. His school's theistic dualism teachings disagreed with the monist teachings of the other two most influential schools of Vedanta based on Advaita's nondualism and Vishishtadvaita's qualified nondualism. Salvation, asserted Madhva, is achievable only through the grace of God. The Dvaita school founded by Madhva influenced Vaishnavism, the Bhakti movement in medieval India, and has been one of the three influential Vedānta philosophies, along with Advaita Vedanta and Vishishtadvaita Vedanta. Madhva's historical influence in Hinduism, state Kulandran and Kraemer, has been salutary, but not extensive.

Cheppalani Vundhi - Kandhadai Ramanujacharya gari interview

H e is a walking encyclopaedia on ancient thought and tradition, be it religion, philosophy, literature, arts or ancient science. His deep understanding of Vedic concepts and their applicability, relevance and universality are something to marvel. He can convince the most rational mind by sheer dint of logic and reason. One has to meet Kandadai Ramanujacharya before concluding that ancient customs are obsolete off-springs of blind belief and superstition and original religious thought of this land is steeped in casteism and rigid rules that no longer hold the sect together. Usually many a modern mind is beset with such ideas and actually ashamed to own allegiance to ancient Indian system of thought and practices. He has the most cogent, convincing answer to every query. This former principal of S.V.V.V. Sanskrit College is a born teacher who can crack the toughest philosophical point and literary concept and put it across in the most lucid manner. His scholarship remains unrivalled as his many books proclaim. They range from the metaphysical to the ritualistic forms of day-to-day living; the gatherings at his discourses which span across administrative institutes to religo-scientific conferences to temple talks bear testimony to his stupendous power of explanation. Music is divine and its origin is the Sama Veda. Beyond this, many of us have no clue as to what exactly is the essence of this third Veda. Says Kandadai, “Of the four Vedas, Rig is stotra (verses), Yajur is yagna (ritual) Sama is gaanam (music) and Atharva is karma (duties). While in the other three Vedas there is scope for an element of sorrow either in the doer or in the spectator, there is nothing but bliss in Sama Veda ( sarvada anandamayam sama). The Bhagvad Gita eulogises this Veda as ‘Swami Vedanam Sama Vedosmi...' which means all the three Vedas exist in Sama.”

Elucidating it further, he says, “the path to salvation (moksha) in Vedic philosophy imbibes only two swaras (syllables): ha representing space or aakaash and vu standing for the element fire (agni). The vayu or air element is nevertheless existent between these two. When the space and air are compressed using force (agni) there emanates sound. This sound when stretched for a short/long interval of time and elongated forms a raga (musical syllables). The time frame of this process of elongation can broadly be termed naadam. This naadam is the ultimate reality or Brahman. A number of sounds with meaningful words together forms music or sangeetham as we term it.

The lyric is sung to syllabic series wherein the meaning gains and varies in its different diction. For instance, in the kriti ‘Samaja vara gamana..' (Hindolam), the meaning of samaja is varied in Sanskrit. It means an elephant, a bird (Garuda) or even an ox (Nandi). Vara means pure one (shresta) and gamana is travel/walk. The syllabic structure the line when sung in mandra sthayi (lower octave), denotes the slow majestic walk of the elephant carrying the deity Indra or if the same is sung to the middle octave will denote the Nandi carrying Lord Shiva and a flight of swara series in tara might connote Lord Vishnu on Garuda. Thus the meaning emerges with the way the same line is dealt with in musical parlance. Thus this one line of the Thyagaraja kriti has 16 notes and connotations emanating from one raga. The raga is meant to convey the content to the right divinity with the right intention. The fire within our body (lying in the stomach region wherein all food is digested) is kindled by sound and offered as music at the altar of the Brahman.,” he concludes.

As an afterthought Dr. Kandadai adds, “not all music leads to moksha or salvation. If music is utilised for selfish means it may create hell within us though we may be blessed with a materialistically wonderful life; if it is sung with dedication and involvement and yet used for material gains too, it will be heavenly; if it is sung in utter surrender to the creator then it leads to moksha or salvation".

NASA's Kepler Mission Discovered 1,284 New Planets

This artist's concept depicts select planetary discoveries made to date by NASA's Kepler space telescope.

NASA's Kepler mission has verified 1,284 new planets – the single largest finding of planets to date.

“This announcement more than doubles the number of confirmed planets from Kepler,” said Ellen Stofan, chief scientist at NASA Headquarters in Washington. “This gives us hope that somewhere out there, around a star much like ours, we can eventually discover another Earth.”

Analysis was performed on the Kepler space telescope’s July 2015 planet candidate catalog, which identified 4,302 potential planets. For 1,284 of the candidates, the probability of being a planet is greater than 99 percent – the minimum required to earn the status of “planet.” An additional 1,327 candidates are more likely than not to be actual planets, but they do not meet the 99 percent threshold and will require additional study. The remaining 707 are more likely to be some other astrophysical phenomena. This analysis also validated 984 candidates previously verified by other techniques.

"Before the Kepler space telescope launched, we did not know whether exoplanets were rare or common in the galaxy. Thanks to Kepler and the research community, we now know there could be more planets than stars,” said Paul Hertz, Astrophysics Division director at NASA Headquarters. "This knowledge informs the future missions that are needed to take us ever-closer to finding out whether we are alone in the universe."

Kepler captures the discrete signals of distant planets – decreases in brightness that occur when planets pass in front of, or transit, their stars – much like the May 9 Mercury transit of our sun. Since the discovery of the first planets outside our solar system more than two decades ago, researchers have resorted to a laborious, one-by-one process of verifying suspected planets.

This latest announcement, however, is based on a statistical analysis method that can be applied to many planet candidates simultaneously. Timothy Morton, associate research scholar at Princeton University in New Jersey and lead author of the scientific paper published in The Astrophysical Journal, employed a technique to assign each Kepler candidate a planet-hood probability percentage – the first such automated computation on this scale, as previous statistical techniques focused only on sub-groups within the greater list of planet candidates identified by Kepler.

"Planet candidates can be thought of like bread crumbs,” said Morton. “If you drop a few large crumbs on the floor, you can pick them up one by one. But, if you spill a whole bag of tiny crumbs, you're going to need a broom. This statistical analysis is our broom."

In the newly-validated batch of planets, nearly 550 could be rocky planets like Earth, based on their size. Nine of these orbit in their sun's habitable zone, which is the distance from a star where orbiting planets can have surface temperatures that allow liquid water to pool. With the addition of these nine, 21 exoplanets now are known to be members of this exclusive group.

"They say not to count our chickens before they're hatched, but that's exactly what these results allow us to do based on probabilities that each egg (candidate) will hatch into a chick (bona fide planet)," said Natalie Batalha, co-author of the paper and the Kepler mission scientist at NASA's Ames Research Center in Moffett Field, California. “This work will help Kepler reach its full potential by yielding a deeper understanding of the number of stars that harbor potentially habitable, Earth-size planets -- a number that's needed to design future missions to search for habitable environments and living worlds.”

Of the nearly 5,000 total planet candidates found to date, more than 3,200 now have been verified, and 2,325 of these were discovered by Kepler. Launched in March 2009, Kepler is the first NASA mission to find potentially habitable Earth-size planets. For four years, Kepler monitored 150,000 stars in a single patch of sky, measuring the tiny, telltale dip in the brightness of a star that can be produced by a transiting planet. In 2018, NASA’s Transiting Exoplanet Survey Satellite will use the same method to monitor 200,000 bright nearby stars and search for planets, focusing on Earth and Super-Earth-sized.

Ames manages the Kepler missions for NASA’s Science Mission Directorate in Washington. The agency’s Jet Propulsion Laboratory in Pasadena, California, managed Kepler mission development. Ball Aerospace & Technologies Corporation operates the flight system, with support from the Laboratory for Atmospheric and Space Physics at the University of Colorado in Boulder.

Kepler measures the brightness of stars. The data will look like an EKG showing the heart beat. Whenever a planet passes in front of its parent star as viewed from the spacecraft, a tiny pulse or beat is produced. From the repeated beats we can detect and verify the existence of Earth-size planets and learn about the orbit and size of the planet.

The scientific data from Kepler come in a different way than most astronomy missions. The Kepler spacecraft will not produce pretty pictures or even colorful spectrograms, but rather light curves derived from brightness changes collected from transits.
