One is born from a woman, ends up in Earth.

 

Hinduism accords the respect these deserve.

 

A woman is called Gruha Lakshmi, one who brings Prosperity to Home.

 

Tamil calls her Illal, one who owns/rules the Home.

 

Similarly Earth is given the respect it deserves for it supports from Birth to Death.

 

Earth is eulogized as Mother and there are Vedic Sukthas in praise of the Earth, Bho Suktham.

 

There is Neela Suktham, Neela is considered to be the consort of Lord Vishnu.

 

Such being the case, there is no wonder in Hinduism calling the Sanctum Sanctorum of a Temple as Garbha Gruha, Gharbha meaning The Womb and Gruha, the Home.

 

Tamil calls The Gharbhagriha as Karuvarai, meaning ‘where the Foetus stays’

 

One’s first Home is the womb.

A Hindu temple consists of an inner sanctum, thegarbha griha or womb-chamber, where the primary idol or deity is housed along with Purusa. The garbhagriha is crowned by a tower-like Shikhara, also called the Vimana. The architecture includes an ambulatory for parikrama(circumambulation), a congregation hall, and sometimes an antechamber and porch.

 

The Hindu temple architecture reflects a synthesis of arts, the ideals of dharma, beliefs, values and the way of life cherished under Hinduism. It is a link between man, deities, and the Universal Purusa in a sacred space.

 

In ancient Indian texts, a temple is a place for Tirtha – pilgrimage.It is a sacred site whose ambience and design attempts to symbolically condense the ideal tenets of Hindu way of life. All the cosmic elements that create and celebrate life in Hindu pantheon, are present in a Hindu temple – from fire to water, from images of nature to deities, from the feminine to the masculine, from kama to artha, from the fleeting sounds and incense smells to Purusha – the eternal nothingness yet universality – is part of a Hindu temple architecture.

Garbhagriha or Garbha gruha (garbha gṛha) (Sanskrit: गर्भगॄह) is the sanctum sanctorum, the innermost sanctum of a Hindu templewhere resides the murti (idol or icon) of the primary deity of the temple. Literally the word means “womb chamber”, from the Sanskritwords garbha for womb and griha for house. Only ‘priests’ (pujari) are allowed to enter this chamber.

 

Although the term is often associated with Hindu temples, it is also found in Jain and Buddhist temples…

 

In temples with a spire or vimana, this chamber is placed directly underneath it, and the two of them form the main vertical axis of the temple. These together may be understood to represent the axis of the world through Mount Meru. The garbha griham is usually also on the main horizontal axis of the temple which generally is an east-west axis. In those temples where there is also a cross-axis, the garbha gṛha is generally at their intersection.

 

Generally the garbhagriha is a windowless and sparsely lit chamber, intentionally created thus to focus the devotee’s mind on the tangible form of the divine within it. Entrance to the garbha grha may be restricted to priests who perform the services there…

 

In the Dravida style, the garbhagriha took the form of a miniature vimana with other features exclusive to southern Indian temple architecture such as the inner wall together with the outer wall creating a pradakshina around the garbhagriha. The entrance is highly decorated. The inner garbhagriha or shrine became a separate structure, more elaborately adorned over time.

 

More often garbhagriha is square and sits on a plinth, its location calculated to be a point of total equilibrium and harmony as it is representative of a microcosm of the Universe. In the centre is placed the image of the deity.

 

But sometimes, for the temples of feminine deities, the garbagriha is rectangular. For example in the temple of Varahi Deula in Chaurasi.

 

The present structure of most of these temples is a two-storeyed vimana with a square garbhagriha and a surrounding circumambulatory path, an ardha-mandapa and a narrower maha-mandapa.

I treat other people the way I want to be treated by...

If you don't live in Alabama, chances are you won't get this shot. But we may have severe (which means tornados to us) weather tonight and early tomorrow morning - and this is one of our local meteorologists. He is extremely proactive when it comes to severe weather. Some say over the top. Thanks to him, all our local TV stations will go to live weather broadcasting if a tornado warning is issued. Now, James Spann will start out with his suit coat on, but the longer and more severe the event, the jacket comes off (and he always wears suspenders). And, if he rolls up his sleeves, better take cover! May be dramatic but when we are looking at scary weather, he's the one I tune in to.

The Fleur-de-lis because it is "the closest to heaven that I'll ever be." Did you know it was the iris and not the lily that inspired the symbol? This highly respected emblem taken on by the French monarchy is still seen by many as the logo of heraldry.

 

But the adoption of the Iris by the French was far from the flower's beginning as a hallmark. In fact long before royalty took their royal crest from the iris this flower was a symbol of both the essence and the renewal of life. The emblem of Saints for American football fans, the iris has appeared on flags, tapestries, shields and armor for many centuries and first became a symbol of life in ancient India and Egypt. That regard extends to present day Jordan where the flower continues as a national symbol of growth, renewal and change.

 

The goddess Iris dates back to Greek mythology but did not have purple, yellow or blue flags. Instead she had golden wings and was the goddess of the rainbow, traveling on the rainbow's arc, carrying commands and messages from the ancient gods to mankind. Iris was a beloved messenger of the gods, especially of Hera, who became Juno to the ancient Romans.

 

The power of myth is strongest in threes that represent a beginning, middle and end. The ancient Egyptians, who used the iris to decorate the funeral temples of the pharaohs, believed that the three dominating petals stood for faith, wisdom and valor. In Greek mythology there were the three Fates, the three Graces and Cerberus. In Christianity, the three rises and three falls of the petals has often been associated with the Father, the Son and the Holy Ghost.

 

The nature of the iris and where it grows might explain the long fascination humans have with this flower. The iris being the dominating beauty of those places where fresh water meets dry land is a place where ecologies are always in tension. That place of change that some animals depend on for life giving water and other lie in wait to eat visitors is about both death and survival. In agriculture the iris represents that source of life sustaining irrigation and the water’s edge has been a place of courtship rituals since prehistoric times. Taking root at the water’s edge, the place that that supports most life on land can capture the human imagination.

 

This particular flower is called The Japanese Water Iris. This purple flower does not greet spring but beautifies the warmest of summer days. The flower first blooms in early June, long past the season of the iris. That seems so appropriate for such a majestic flower. Not an ending but a sign of rejuvenation for the ancient symbol that was also once a sign of retreat and regroup. Folklore or true I can't be sure but in medieval times the flower supposedly once pointed out shallow water to a vastly outnumbered army with its back to the riverbank. And then there’s the Goo Goo Dolls.

In Armenian mythology, the pomegranate is celebrated as a symbol of life and is also believed to keep us safe from evil spirits. It has religious connotations to Christianity and is seen as the blood of Christ. The mythology of ancient Greece regarded this fruit as the symbol of life, marriage and rebirth. The fruit is also used as a holy symbol and respected in zoroastrian worshipping ceremonies and rituals.The pomegranate symbolises the soul’s immortality and the perfection of nature for Zoroastrians. For Muslims, the pomegranate is also a symbol of beauty, it is said to give beauty to those who eat it. Prophet Mohammed has advised pregnant women to eat pomegranates if they wanted beautiful children. Placement of pomegranate trees in the gardens of Eden, brings meaning for Muslims, who as a result believe that it is a holy tree. The Jewish mysticism called Kabbala reveres the pomegranate in many of its rituals. In modern Turkey today, many families throw a pomegranate on the floor and “crack” it on the New Year’s Eve to have a plentiful new year. Pomegranate still life. London, UK. July 22, 2019.

Photograph taken at an altitude of Sixty three metres at 12:45pm on an overcast summer afternoon on Thursday 15th July 2021, off Chessington Avenue in Bexleyheath, Kent.

  

Here we see an adult European starling (Sturnus vulgaris) proudly prancing around the garden with a feather that it flew off with, presumably to help line a newly crafted nest. Also known as the common starling or simply starling, these are medium sized passerines known for being loud and up for a squabble in British gardens. With a lifespan of two to three years, they are omnivores measuring up to nine inches in length and a wingspan of up to seventeen inches. They are common to Europe, India and North Africa and possess the ability mimic other bird songs, noises and even human speech. They can also have an individual repertoire of more than thirty variable song types and fourteen clicks.

  

Sadly, despite a UK breeding population in excess of 1.8 Million, their demise in other areas sees them currently on the red list for UK conservation status.

Palkhi is a 1000 — year old tradition which was started by some saints of Maharashtra (India). and is still continued by their followers called as Varkaris (people who follow a Vari, a fundamental ritual). People collectively go singing and dancing, chanting Dnyanba-Tukaram in what are called as Dindis (organised group of Varkaris) to the holy town of Pandharpur (a small town in the district of Solapur) in Hindu months of Ashadh (June-July) and Karthik (November-December).

 

The Palkhi starts in the month of Jyeshth (June) and the whole process lasts a total of 22 days. Every year on the eleventh day of the first half of the month of Ashadh, the Palkhi reaches Pandharpur. Every saint, right from Sant Dnyaneshwar to Sant Tukaram was following the Vari tradition.

 

In the year 1685, Narayan baba, the youngest son of Tukaram was a man of innovative spirit and decided to bring about a change in the dindi-wari tradition by introducing the Palkhi, which is a sign of social respect. He put the silver padukas (footsteps) of Tukaram in the Palkhi and proceeded with his dindi to Alandi where he put the padukas of Dnyaneshwar in the same Palkhi. This tradition of twin Palkhis went on every year, but in 1830 there were some disputes in the family of Tukaram, concerned with rights and privileges. Following this, some thoughtful persons decided to break-up the tradition of twin Palkhis and organise here after, two separate Palkhis Tukaram Palkhi from Dehu (Pune Maharashta) and the Dnyaneshwar Palkhi from Alandi (Pune Maharashta).

 

From that time till date, both the Palkhis meet in Pune for a brief halt and then diverge at Hadapsar to meet again at Wakhri, a village nearby to Pandharpur.

 

In course of time, this tradition is becoming popular day by day. A total of approximately 2 lakh devotees proceed along with the Sant Tukaram Palkhi from Dehu village, while a total of 4 lakh devotees march along with the Sant Dnyaneshwar Palkhi from alandi village. At present a total of 43 Palkhis including the above two visit Pandharpur village every year.

 

Thousands of people called ‘Varkari’ reach Pandharpur from Alandi or Dehu after walking for about 250kms in Aashad (a hindu month which coincides with June/ July) Ekadashi (11th day of the moon). They walk with palkhis (chariots) carrying paduka (sandals) of the saints singing sacred songs. Varkaris are a Hindu religion sect who workship Vithoba (or Vitthal), an incarnation of Krishna.

 

Devotee chants the name of “Mauli Vittal” all the way & completes the yatra by feet on Ashadi Ekadashi at Pandharpur. Around 8 lakhs of warkaris flocked the city and their chants of “Ram Krishna Hari, jai jai Ram Krishna Hari” and Dnyanba-Tukaram (the famous Maharashtrian saints, Dnyaneshwar and Tukaram) reverberated on the streets.

This photograph pays respect to the countless number of Taj Mahal shots with its wondefully expansive fountain lying in the foreground.

 

Now don't get me wrong, I'm not seriously trying to compare the neighboring Taj Mahal to Pakistan's Mazar-e-Quaid! (Especially since this fountain is near water-free!) But since India rejected my visa years back, I don't know when I'll be able to see that wonderful Mughal building in person.

 

Until then, I guess, this other white marble mausoleum in the subcontinent will have to do :D

In picture is Mr. Khasapa. He was untangling the white prayer flags to let them fly freely in the wind.
