HOMAGE TO THE DEPARTED SOUL DR.A.P.J. ABDUL KALAM

A lovely and endearing personality, an intellectual of high stature, a great scientist of the century, a great humanitarian, a model for the youth, dynamic, bold and a self-made man, Dr. A P J Abdul Kalam with his parting has a left a void. However, his struggles, achievements, interests continue to influence and inspire us. Hats off to his great achievements. May his soul rest in peace. Let us peep into his thrilling story of life.

The story of Dr. A P J Abdul Kalam is a thrilling saga of Independent India’s struggles for technological self-sufficiency and defensive autonomy. He gave a new dynamism to the research establishment. His dynamism and dedicated professional struggles made India a missile power of International reckoning.

Avul Pakir Jainulabdeen (APJ) Abdul Kalam [15th October, 1931 – 27th July, 2015] was the 11th President of India from 2002 – 2007. This Scientist turned statesman was born and bought up in Rameshwaram (Tamil Nadu). He studied physics and graduated from the University of Madras. Then he did his Aerospace Engineering in Madras Institute of Technology.

He worked as a scientist and science administrator at the Defense Research and Development Organization [DRDO] and Indian Space Research Organization [ISRO]. He was intimately involved in India’s Civilian space programme and military missile development efforts. Between 1970 and 1990, he made an effort to develop a Polar Satellite Launch Vehicle [PSLV] and SLV-III projects and both the projects proved to be successful. He served as the Chief Scientific Advisor to the Prime-Minister and the

secretary of the Defence Research Development Organization from July 1992 to 1999. He also played a pivotal, organizational, technical and political role in India’s Pokhran-II nuclear tests in 1998. He came to be known as the Missile Man of India for his work on the development of ballistic missile and launch vehicle technology.

Dr. Kalam was elected president of India in 2002. During his term as president he was affectionately known as the people’s president.

Dr. Kalam was the recipient of several prestigious awards including Bharat Ratna, India’s highest civilian honour.

After laying the office of president, Dr. Kalam became a visiting professor at the IIM (Indian Institute of Management) in Shillong, Ahmedabad and Indore and an honorary fellow of Indian Institute of Science, Bangalore. He served as the chancellor of the Indian Institute of Space Science and Technology, Thiruvanantpuram and professor of Aerospace Engineering of Anna University.

In May 2012, Dr. Kalam launched a programme for the youth of India called the ‘What Can I Give Movement’ with a central theme of defeating corruption.

He was a lover of music and a keen reader of spiritual books. He wrote several books; India 2020; Ignited Minds; The Luminous Sparks; Mission India; Indomitable Spirit. Dr. Kalam’s autobiography ‘Wings of Fire’ is a touching literary work. It inspires, moves and shakes the readers. Till his last breath, Dr. Kalam was engaged with joy in igniting the imagination of the children and students and in preparing them to work for a developed India.

May his memory stir us for actions.

History of Somavamsha Shasrarjun Kshatriya. paNCHaNGa SummaRY9. aaSHleSHa NaKSHatRa

Murlidharsa F. Kalburgi

In the previous issue, you have learnt about the Nagai Inscription and shree Nageyallamma temple in Nagai village in Chitapura taluk of Kalburgi district.

We have other Inscriptions --- Sumanagad Inscription, Hathingumpha Inscription and

Aihole Inscription. The founder of the Rashtrakuta King (which later became the vast Empire) Dantidurga belonged to Manyakhetwe (Katwe) family of Somavamsha. He came out of Chalukya’s sovereignty and built an Independent Kingdom. The preceding five generations had owed allegiance to the Chalukya Kings who were their blood relations. During the reign of the Chalukyas when the Arabs had invaded Gujarat region, Rashtrakuta, Dantidurga was a powerful warrior and had helped the Chalukya Vikramaditya II. After the demise of Vikramaditya II, Kirtivarma II came to throne. Dantidurga rejected the allegiance to him and declared that he was a free king and founded his own kingdom in 754 A.D. His Kingdom was extended upto the Malava region in the North. The Rashtrakutas originally belonged to the Marathawada of today’s Maharastra. The Inscription says so. They were called the masters of Lattur. They had the titles “ Lattur Puravareshwara and Paramanbhattarike” The then Lattur is todays Latur in Maharastra. Dantidurga ruled only for four years. He was a tactful ruler, shrewd and courageous. He was a good organizer. He had no male children and after his death, his uncle Krishna I came to the throne. During his reign, prince Govind invaded the Kingdom of Vengi Chalukyas. The Chalukya King Vishnuvardhana IV was defeated. Many battles were fought between the Rashtrakutas and the Vengi Chalukyas.

The greatest contributions of Krishna I was the building of Kailasanath Temple in

Ellora (Maharastra). This temple is a rock-cut shrine. The Elephanta caves and its architecture and paintings are the great contributions. The temple of Kailasa at Ellora is the most extensive and sumptuous. This temple was hewn out of a rocky hill-side by Krishna I in the 8th century. It is hewn out of a great rectangular quarry. It measures 27 feet long and 154 feet wide with a scrap of 107 feet deep at the back. The Kailasa at Ellora is an example of rock architecture that is unrivalled. The sculptures in the Elephanta cave are Life-like creations. The Somavamsha Kshatriyas have contributed rich heritages all through Karnataka, Maharastra and Gujarath and elsewhere in India. Many more researches have yet to be done. Our people should try to understand their rich historical background and enhance their self-esteem.

Two hundred kilometers from Latur are towns of Nanded and Parabhani. The Indrajeetasa families (sooth-sayers) of Parabhani are called ‘Bhats’. They were the inhabitants of Parabhani. They used to visit Kalburgi, Chittapur, Gadag, Gajendragad, Gudur, Bagalkot, Hanumasagar, Guledgudda and Hubballi once in Four or Five years and used to collect lineal details. Even now Ugrashenasa, the descendent of the Bhat family of Parabhani comes here frequently to collect the lineal details of the various SSK families.

The ninth star in the horoscopic chart is the Aashlesha Nakshatra.

It is a congregation of six stars in circular form. It is in the degree from 106-140 to 220. The deities regulating this star are Adishesha (Nag devata), Ganapathi and Subramanya. In the comity of nine stars (Navagrahas) Rahu and

ketu are the deities of this Nakshatra. Rahu represents

the head of the serpent and Ketu the body. The westerners

call Rahu as dragon-head and Ketu as dragon-tail. Lakshamana and Shatrughna, brothers

of Shri Ram were born in this Nakshatra. It is symbolic of the nails and glands that are supposed to be the sources of complicated diseases. The first four phases of this star are covered in the Karka rashi (Cancer). This is potentially a watery star.

The specialty of the Aashlesha Nakshatra is that if a female child is born in this Nakshatra, peace-homa has to be performed. This is supposed to be equal to the birth of a serpent and held that there would be ‘sarpa-dosha. Similarly if all the planets are surrounded by Rahu and Ketu, it is said to be the ‘Kaala Sarpa-dosha’. If one planet lies outside, it is said to be ‘partial kaala-dosha’. If the things are so, ‘peace-homas’ have to be performed

on the day of Aashlesha Nakshatra. On that day Aashlesha sacrifice ritual has to be performed and the consecration of naga has to be performed (This is called ‘kaalasarpa shanti or kaala Rahu shanti).Also should be done Champa Shrusti pooja.

Aashlesha Nakshatra is propitious for performing consecration of Subramanya Manikantha Aiyappaswami Nag deity and for performing ferocious planets’ shanti and for ferocious sort of Homa and Havanas.

The persons born in the Aashlesha Nakshatra possess attractive and infatuating body structures. They are quick-tempered and express ill-tempers before others. They are hard-hearted, ambitious, roaming and proud.

The persons born in this Nakshatra can undertake the manufacture of chemicals, alcoholic drinks, hotel industry, rice hoarding and trade and can act as agents in any business or Trade. This Nakshatra is propitious for sale and business of artificial and ready-made items, steel and stainless steel manufacture or sale.

The Janmaksharasa of the persons born in the Aashlesha Nakshatra are-‘di’ for the first phase, ‘du’ for the second phase’, ’de’ for the third phase and ‘do’ for the fourth phase.

For the person born in Aashlesha

Nakshatra --- Magha, Moola, Ashwini are the wealth stars. They can undertake business, trade, money-lending and any good tasks.

Krittika, Uttara, Uttarashadha, are the welfare stars. They can undertake welfare activities and other ambitious and important deeds.

Mrigashira, Chitta and Dhanista are the achievement stars. They can undertake new businesses, adventurous and enterprising tasks.

Punarvasu, Vishakha, Purvashadha, Pushya, Anuradha and Uttara Bhadrapada are the friendly stars. They can undertake partnership ventures with the persons of the same nakshatra.

GOOD DEEDS LEAD TO GOOD AND EVIL DEEDS TO EVILThe good deeds man does and sins he commits are

weighed and accordingly rewarding the humans is the work of God. He follows the moral laws. Whenever we are troubled and tortured we abuse God. We say that God is unkind to us; our fate is not good. We accuse the God as being in favor of the rich.

Long ago, there lived a wealthy man. He had endeared himself by his charities and good deeds. People loved and respected him and followed his dictates and advices. The wealthy man had five sons and a daughter. His house was the biggest in that village. It had a storey. Beside the house was a cowherd. Grass and hay was piled up sufficiently. He gave food to the needy and hungry. The wealthy man decided to arrange the wedding for his children. In the nearby town was a college. The newly appointed principal was a young man. He was from a good family. He had no parents, sisters or brothers. The wealthy man thought he was the suitable prospective son-in-law. He consulted the senior members of the village. They okayed the proposal. The river near the village was in spate. The elders suggested that they could go when the tides receded. Two days later they went to the town and the young man consented to marry the wealthy man’s daughter. The wedding was a grand event. The wealthy man gave gifts to people. The daughter and her husband were happy and days passed happily. The daughter conceived a child and the wealthy man performed the ritual of Seemanta in a grand manner. He gave his son-in-law a gold chain and dresses. The daughter gave birth to a male child and after five months went to her home and lived with her husband happily. Four years later she again become pregnant. Her husband had gone to Bangalore on office work. One night their house was burgled.The burglars had taken away all the things at home. The husband came and when he saw how the house was ravaged, he fell unconscious. People sprinkled water at his face and he woke up. He accepted the fate’s test and decided to face the difficulties boldly.

Days passed. The pregnant wife had to go to her parent’s home. They had no money. They had decided to go on foot to cover the ten kilometer distance. When they had gone half the way their four year son felt hungry. It was a rainy day and the dark clouds had gathered all over the sky. The wind began to blow and the sky sparkled lightnings and there was a sound of thunders. The mother wanted to cook some rice. Presently it began

to rain and did not stop for two hours. They needed the dry wood to cook the food. The husband went to find the wood. There was semi darkness in the jungle. He trod on the black serpent that had coiled the dry tree. It bit him and he fell down and soon died. The woman asked her son to go and fetch his father. The boy went into the forest and lost his way. The woman went in search of her husband and son. Soon she found her husband dead. She cried loudly. After a while she collected the wood there and set fire to her husband’s corpse. The missing son made her still more pathetic and sad. Soon she felt the delivery pain and gave birth to twin male babies. She started towards her parents’ home carrying the twin babies. The river was flowing with force and in the knee-deep water she had to cross the river. She took one child and left the other on the bank. While crossing the river, she was glancing at the child on the bank. Suddenly she saw the child being carried away by a wolf. She felt very sad and horrified. The child in her hand also fell down and the flowing water took it along. On the other bank of the river people had gathered for a funeral. The people recognized this woman as the daughter of their rich man. Her parents had sent their servant to bring their daughter home. But the previous night fire had caught the piles of their hay and their house was also burnt and they were all dead. The people of the village had gathered on the bank of the river for their funeral.

The people of the village took the woman to the nearly Ashram Parnakutira. The Guru listened to her pathetic story and consoled her. The Guru meditated for

a while and told her that her present predicament was due to her bad deeds in the earlier life. In her previous life she had destroyed a family. As an elder daughter-in-law, she had killed all her in-laws by burning. She had stolen all their wealth. The evil deed done then resulted in her present fateful tragedy. The guru said that good deeds yield good rewards and the evil deeds lead onto destruction and unhappiness.
