What is Sengol ?

Sengol is a gold sceptre, installed in India's new Parliament House in 2023. This Sengol was handed over to the first prime minister of the Republic of India, Jawaharlal Nehru, in 1947 by two sannyasis from Sri Amblavana Desigar in Thanjavur, who believed it apt that the first head of the new government of Free India be presented with a symbol of power and authority. Though Sengol is a generic term for sceptre in Tamil, the term got wider national attention after the Government of India decided to install the 1947 sceptre in the New Parliament House. On 28 May 2023, during the inauguration of the New Parliament House, Prime Minister Narendra Modi installed the sengol near the chair of the Speaker of the Lok Sabha.

A solemn and sacred Tamil tradition of Sengol (Dharma Danda) vesting ceremony accompanied by a recital of 11 verses from the Theveram text invoking the blessings of Shiva for the ruler took place on August 14, 1947, symbolising the transfer of power from British Viceroy Lord Mountbatten to Indian Prime Minister Pandit Nehru. It happened just before Pundit Nehru hoisted the national flag and addressed the nation at midnight.

Vesting the Sengol in the hands of the new ruler by Rajaguru is the Tamil Chola Empire tradition of anointing a new ruler. An ancient Tamil Shaiva Adheenam (Math) performed the ceremony and vested the Sengol in the hands of Pundit Nehru. The Sengol - which symbolises virtual and ethical rule – is highly spoken of in the ancient Tamil texts, and saint-poet Tiruvalluvar has written 10 verses celebrating Sengol and "Songonmai" – which means rule based on "Aram" – the Tamil world for Dharma.

How Ganga Came to Earth ?

BHAGIRATHI was a super Civil engineer who made it possible to bring the Ganga to Plane lands from trapped mountain hills. He did a tremendous civil engineering job of making passage for the Ganga by cutting the mountains trap. The vast boulders which were cut through the hill tops are still present at the Gangotri and downstream passage of Ganga. In our ancient scriptures this mega job is described as Tapa of Bhagirathi, which indeed was his Tapa, and the mountain traps were symbolized as Jata of Shiva.

What is "Maya"?

Maya is a fundamental concept in Hindu philosophy, notably in the Advaita (Nondualist) school of Vedanta. Maya originally denoted the magic power with which a god can make human beings believe in what turns out to be an illusion. By extension, it later came to mean the powerful force that creates the cosmic illusion that the phenomenal world is real. For the Nondualists, maya is thus that cosmic force that presents the infinite brahman (the supreme being) as the finite phenomenal world. Maya is reflected on the individual level by human ignorance (ajnana) of the real nature of the self, which is mistaken for the empirical ego but which is in reality identical with brahman.

Kurthala Siddheswarananda Bharati Swamy Story

Sruti Smritis, Vedas, Upanishads and Puranas prophesy that there are no virtues beyond rituals. There can be no room for any doubt that the Indian Sanatana Dharmas and customs are applicable to all. This India is like God himself incarnated to destroy evil and is like Sanatana. That means Hinduism is orthodox. Who founded it; when and where established; Who named it; No one can say who propagated it. #Hindudharma has remained intact no matter how many tides it has been exposed to, unlike religions that have merged in the womb of time, it has remained intact even today.

The World's Most Notorious Prison

Alcatraz Island, byname The Rock, rocky island in San Francisco Bay, California, U.S. The island occupies an area of 22 acres (9 hectares) and is located 1.5 miles (2 km) offshore.
The island had little vegetation and was a seabird habitat when it was explored in 1775 by Lieutenant Juan Manuel de Ayala, who named it Isla de los Alcatraces (“Isle of the Pelicans”). Sold in 1849 to the U.S. government, Alcatraz was the site of the first lighthouse (1854) on the coast of California. Thereafter other buildings were erected on the island, and the first permanent army detachment was garrisoned there in 1859. In 1861 the island was designated a residence for military offenders. Later prisoners included some 19 Hopi Indians from the Arizona Territory who passively resisted government attempts to assimilate them and American soldiers fighting in the Philippines who had joined the Filipino cause in 1900. In 1907 the island was designated the Pacific Branch of the United States Military Prison.
From 1934 to 1963 it served as a federal prison for some of the most dangerous civilian prisoners. Among its famous denizens were Al Capone, George (“Machine Gun”) Kelly, and Robert Stroud, the “Birdman of Alcatraz” (the subject of the 1962 film of the same name). Although the Alcatraz penitentiary was able to house 450 convicts in cells that measured about 10 by 4.5 feet (3 by 1.5 metres), no more than 250 prisoners ever occupied the island at one time. Escape attempts were rare, but a few inmates did escape from the island; whether they survived the currents of the bay is unknown. One daring escape was popularized in the film Escape from Alcatraz (1979). Eventually the necessity of transporting fresh water to and waste away from the island resulted in its abandonment in 1963.

Alcatraz, the world’s most notorious prison, reveals its deepest secrets after the deadly waters that surround it are drained away.
