 Festival of kerala culture

Mahabali and the asuras are sent to the netherworld, and Indra is given back control of the three worlds (Patala). But Vamana granted Mahabali's one wish—to visit his country once a year—after seeing how much the monarch cares for his subjects. Kerala celebrates this homecoming of Mahabali annually as Onam.

[talonabraxas]

“Om Namo Narayanaya” Cosmic Vishnu Talon Abraxas Lord Vishnu God Vishnu is a manifestation of the eternal and endless Parabrahmn. He is the prime mover that powers the objective world. He is the guardian that sustains this universe. God Vishnu is the substrate of all things. He is the origin of the tiniest atoms and the mightiest galaxies.

His abode lies in Kshirsagar, a timeless place far beyond the mortal world, where He likes to rest on his magnificent lotus throne. He walks with Devi Lakshmi, the goddess of wealth and good fortune.

Significance and Role: Vishnu is one of the Trimurtis; and the one most involved in the day-to-day affairs of this world. Because of His unbounded power, He never descends to the mortal world as himself. His will, however, still shapes the events, both on the granular and the cosmic scales. He takes countless avatars throughout history for this purpose. When the need arises, He appears as a mortal, to tip the scales of balance between the good and the evil.

God Vishnu is generally represented either seated or standing, on a bed of lotus, floating in the cosmic ocean of milk, the Kshirsagar. The thousand hoods of the Sheshanaga, the king of all serpents and the primal snake, form a protective parasol over the head of God Vishnu.

It’s a long-held tradition to represent Vishnu with light blue skin and four arms.

Avatars of Vishnu: Matsya, the fish, was the first avatar of Vishnu. In this form, he guided Manu during the great deluge. Kurma, the turtle, was the second and Varaha, the boar, was the third. The fourth avatar of Vishnu is Narasimha, the half-man half-lion being, that broke out of existence from within the pillars of the dungeons where Hiranyakashipu was torturing his son, Vishnu-bhakta Prahlada.

The fifth avatar was Vaman, the dwarf Brahman, who went to ask for alms from the great Asura king Bali (also referred to as Mahabali, or Maveli). Next are Parashurama, Rama, and Krishna. The ninth avatar of Vishnu depends on the tradition you choose to follow. Some people believe it to be Balarama, the son of Krishna’s foster parents, others say it’s Gautama the Buddha.

Kalki is the future avatar, slated to appear at the fag end of Kaliyuga, for the final battle between the good and the evil.

Benefits of Worshipping Him: God Vishnu is worshipped in thousands of names. Vishnu Sahasranama is a list of over a thousand names of God Vishnu. Each of these revered names describe a distinct aspect of the ultimate reality.

Boons from God Vishnu, while benefiting the devotee, also has a way of doing good for the world at large. Vishnu not only grants you what you ask for but what you really need. Being a Parabrahmn, God Vishnu can grant his devotees, true bliss and knowledge, when sought appropriately. If deemed worthy, a touch of Vishnu can provide a candidate, instant enlightenment, or the moksha. Mukti from Samsara Varta and vicious cycle of births and deaths.

God Vishnu is an object of reverence for gods and mortals alike. His avatars were heroic personalities, born to correct the wrongs of the world, and to provide courage and inspiration to the denizens of Mrityu-Loka, or the mortal Earth.

His Powers: God Vishnu is omnipotent. He can travel instantly to anywhere in any direction. He can see anything he turns his eyes towards. Nothing is hidden from him. He makes the world run. Vatam, or the movement of air, is the most expressive form of his influence. Through the breaths of life that mortals take, the Vatam enters their bodies, subtly changing their hearts and minds. He is the original magician and trickster. No one can grasp his true intentions unless he intends them to.

His Vehicle: Vishnu rides the mighty eagle, the Garuda. The Garuda is special because its original form is not part of this Brahmand. Similar to his master, Garuda also has taken many avatars in the lower worlds. One of them was Vainateya (son of Vinata) whose life was riddled with countless tales of valor, grit, and wisdom. Garuda embodies the wisdom of the Vedas themselves. It’s also a lesser-known fact that Eagles always play crucial cameos in all of God Vishnu’s incarnations in the lower worlds.

In his benevolent depiction, God Vishnu is represented sleeping on the coils of Sheshanaga, the primal thousand-headed serpent, who like the Garuda exists apart from this Brahmand or the universe. Shesha is considered both a servant and a manifestation of Vishnu and has descended to the Prithvi-Loka as Lakshamana in the Ramayana era, Balarama during the Mahabharata era, and Ramanujacharya, the proponent of Vishishtadvaita School of Vedanta, during the Kaliyuga.

Weapons and Artifacts: Vishnu wields many weapons. Chief among them is the Sudarshana Chakra, the deadly discus of death, swirling around his forefinger. Sudarshana Chakra, being an invincible weapon, is used rarely. There are zero, five, eight, and sixteen weapon depictions of Vishnu in some of his popular representations like Narsimha, Mahavishnu, Ashtabhuja, and Shodasayudha.

Vishnu is the bearer of the conch of divine knowledge, the Panchajanya. Vishnu and his avatars are known to blow the conch shell to herald both good times and wars.

Vishnu, in his four-armed representation, is shown holding a mace and a lotus, apart from the chakra and the conch. The mace is named Kaumodaki and is a mark of authority. Padma, the lotus symbolizes purity and transcendence.

In some of his less common representations, Vishnu is sometimes also represented as wielding the celestial bow Sharanga or the Nandaka sword. The Nandaka sword is believed to be a sentient weapon with the ability to descend to the lower Lokas as avatars in service of its master, Vishnu.

In the Vaishnavite traditions, it is held that it was God Vishnu who created Brahma and taught him about Vedas. It is the knowledge of Vedas that allowed God Brahma to create the universe and its myriad aspects. While Brahma may be the architect, it’s Vishnu who was the ultimate supplier of the building blocks.

Ganesh puja on Vaman Dwadashi 🙏🏼

To celebrate the Vamanji lila, Ganeshji is wearing a yellow prasadi khes from HH Gokulottsavji’s Soma Yagna and has a kamandal (water pot) with him. Four birds represent the four Vedas who have come to sing his praise.

In the Trivikram lila, Vamanji’s foot reached the outermost edge of the universe! Brahma and the sages washed his toe that came up to the Brahma Lok and the water spilled in the firmament of space as Akash Ganga - the Milky Way.

Pichoi at the back alludes to that lila and its darshan 🙏🏼

"I don’t believe that experimental theatre is different or commercial theatre is different. I only think theatre is either good or bad." – Dr. #ShreeramLagoo. On his birth anniversary (16/11/1927), we remember Dr. Shriram Lagoo, the renowned film and theatre actor in Hindi and Marathi. Dr. Lagoo began his journey in acting while studying medicine. He co-founded the theatre group “Progressive Dramatic Association” with friends. After earning a degree in ENT surgery in Mumbai during the early 1950s, he practiced medicine in Pune for six years before pursuing further training in Canada and England. In the 1960s, he worked as a doctor in Pune, India, and Tabora, Tanzania, all the while continuing to act in India. In 1969, he transitioned to becoming a full-time theatre actor in Marathi plays, debuting with Vasant Kanetkar’s play Ithe Oshalala Mrityu. Dr. Lagoo gained widespread fame for his role in the iconic play Natsamrat, written by Kusumagraj (Vishnu Vaman Shirwadkar). He also made a significant impact in Marathi cinema, starring in acclaimed films such as Sinhasan, Pinjra, and Mukta. His wife, Deepa Lagoo, is a celebrated actress in theatre, TV, and films. Together, they had two sons and a daughter. To honor his late son, Dr. Lagoo instituted the Tanveer Samman award, which recognizes emerging talents in Indian theatre. Dr. Lagoo also left his mark on Hindi cinema, often appearing alongside Rajesh Khanna in films like Thodisi Bewafai, Maqsad, and Souten. He delivered memorable performances in other notable films such as Devata, Des Pardes, and Sadma.

The Seller of Masks

Valahri Vamane was far more travelled than most, in or out of his country. He had been west of the Great Desert of Myzria and north of the Empire of Niram. He had even seen the Cave of the Blasphemy.

And in all that time and place he had never seen cause to believe that the name of his country was remembered outside of it.

They called it many things, in foreign lands. The Masked Land. Terra Persona. The faceless country.

But he knew what it was actually called.

He came from Teyvīka Muttam, the crumbling Jewel of the West, as it had once been known. Supposedly, according to the ancient legends, the Goddess of Beauty herself had knelt down and kissed the earth in that exact spot, leading the ancients of Terra Persona, the founders of the Old Empire, to build their capital there and name it in her honour.

Even now, it was still the largest city on the peninsula. Even now, the various factions that fought for power in the disunited land considered holding Muttam to symbolize legitimacy.

Valahri had not been back in a long time. There was only one reason he would consider returning, and it had not yet happened. He wasn't sure it ever would.

—

In that year he was living and working in the north, mainly as a seller of masks. They were mostly unadorned, so people could add their own identifying marks. They weren't the fancy ones custom-made by the blind maskmakers for anyone who could afford them, but they did the job all the same.

The masks he wore, the kind he had worn since his return from his travels, were distinct in their own way. He put his own sigil on the forehead of each one, because he wanted to be recognized no matter what he was wearing. In this, he had his reasons.

—

Foreigners to the peninsula never really knew how to blend in. Valahri understood why better than most, since he had been to their lands. They were not cursed and did not have to wear masks unless they wanted to.

So he knew the woman he encountered travelling south in the dry season had to be a foreigner.

That she wore a mask was wise. He had heard stories that foreigners who came to the masked land could sometimes carry the effects of the curse with them for a time after leaving. It was better to get used to a mask now.

"Hello, stranger!" He waved as he rode nearer, calling to her in the common traders' language.

She stopped her horse. When she spoke, it was more cautiously. "And to you as well."

"We don't get many foreigners this far north and east. They usually travel straight to the capital."

"How did you-"

"Your mask. And your accent. You sound like a Westerner."

"Oh..." She sounded disappointed.

"I take it you wanted to blend in more? It's not an easy thing for a foreigner to pose as a native here."

"I suppose I should have expected that. But there's little information available about the specific customs of this land. No one wants to think about it."

"Oh, I've travelled a lot of places. This is a cursed land and a cursed people. It's better if no one thinks about us."

Valahri had his suspicions about what reasons the woman might have for coming to Terra Persona. Most of the foreigners were merchants, and he knew merchants.

This woman was no merchant. Very few casual travellers bothered to visit the cursed land. Which meant she was most likely here for a reason.

And those people... well. Those people generally wanted to discover the secrets of the cursed land – a pursuit that rarely ended well.

Valahri decided that right now, he was going to try and stick with this traveller. "But, if you're so interested, you might want a guide."

The woman's body language was hesitant, but then she nodded. "Are you offering?"

"Yes. Selling masks is, in all honestly, just a side job."

"Then let me introduce myself. I am Karas of Galahra, scholar."

"Well met. Valahri of Muttam. A pleasure to make your acquaintance."

The two continued down the road together. Karas had questions about the accuracy of the map she had brought along with her.

Valahri wondered, in the privacy of his own mind, just how dangerous the scholar's quest would prove to be. The curse made even knowledge of the masked land dangerous outside its bounds.

Well, if push came to shove, perhaps her search could benefit him as well. And perhaps more than just him...

In yoga teacher training, students often practice Sutra Neti and Kunjal in the early morning. Sutra Neti involves threading a thin rubber or waxed string through the nostrils to cleanse the nasal passages, enhancing respiratory health. Kunjal, or Vaman Dhauti, is a cleansing technique involving drinking saline water and inducing vomiting, aiding digestion and detoxification. These practices promote physical purification and mental clarity, fostering a holistic approach to well-being.
