The life and work of Sri Sankara

The life and work of Sri Sankara
Prof. P. Sankaranarayanan

Among the renowned personalities celebrated in the hagiographies of the world, by far the most distinguished for all time is Sri Sankara, reverently referred to as Sri Sankara Bhagavatpada, or simply as the Bhagavatpada. Whether considered, as tradition and the Puranas would have it, as an incarnation of Lord Siva Himself or only looked upon as a surpassing human being, either way, he is pre-eminent among the prophets and religious leaders of all times. His achievements during the little over three decades of his earthly life constitute a marvel of uncommon rate.

He was an intellectual prodigy who attained a phenomenal mastery over the scriptures even when he was less than eight years of age. Using the Sanskrit language with a felicitous clarity all his own, he wrote elaborate commentaries on the tripod of Hindu religion and philosophy evincing a dialectical skill which even to this day is the despair and envy of his adversaries. The original treatises that he produced on Advaita Vedanta ranging from a single verse to a thousand for all grades of mental comprehension live even today as fresh as ever, in the thoughts and tongues of men. His triumphal digvijaya to all parts of our land more than once had a double purpose, to vindicate the truths of Advaita Vedanta against the onslaughts of its disputants and to purify our religious theories and practices out of the accretions that had gathered round them by the lapse of time and the inroads of perverted minds. Mere sacerdotalism which went by the letter ignoring the spirit and the corruption of designing people had for long fouled the clear springs of our pristine religion, resulting in the adoption of ways of worship which were neither civilised nor moral. All this had happened before Sri Sankara came on the scene. He accomplished the stupendous task of ridding our religion of its unfortunate excrescence and raised it to a pedestal of worshipful dignity. Buddhism, the rebel child of the Vedic religion and philosophy, denied God and the soul, laid the axe at the very roots of Vedic thought and posed a great danger to its very survival. This onslaught was stemmed betimes, compelling Buddhism to seek refuge in other lands. While the credit for this should go primarily to the Mimamsaka, Kumarila Bhatta, it was because of Sri Sankara's dialectical skill and irrefutable arguments that it ceased to have sway over the minds of the inheritors of Vedic religion.

Having thus enthroned our ancient religion and philosophy in the hearts and minds of his countrymen, Sri Sankara established in several parts of the country guardians of his teachings to preserve and propagate it to countless generations of the future. While these should have been numerous when he established them, five stand to this day as pontificates bearing his name, and function at Kanchi, Sringeri, Puri, Dwaraka and Badri, covering the whole of Bharata Varsha. There is not in legend or in history a life like Sri Sankara's so short in years and yet so packed with achievements in the realm of the spirit and whose glory extends beyond the bounds of space and time. No wonder that even today, much as protagonists of other schools may regret and protest, Vedanta is identified with Advaita which Sri Sankara drew out of the Upanishads, distilled out of the Bhagavad Gita and described in his commentaries on the Brahma Sutras, and that this school of Vedanta has compelled the conviction and obtained the assent of the thinking minds of the West.

It is unfortunate that no biography of Sri Sankara was written by his contemporaries. For details about his life, we have to depend on Sankara Vijayas composed at different times long after he lived. They do not agree in all particulars about his life. The traditional date of Sri Sankara varies from that assigned to him by modern historians. While the latter fix him as having lived from 788 to 820 A.D., the tradition determined by the pontifical succession in the celebrated Pithas that he established take him to a time long before the Christian era. Be that as it may, we may glean from the different biographies extant today a generally accepted account of his life and work.

It is agreed on all hands that Sri Sankara belonged to a Nambudiri Brahmana family of Kerala in the hamlet of Kaladi situated on the banks of the Churna river. His father was a pious wealthy person called Sivaguru and his mother was Aryamba. Not blessed with a son for a long time, the devout pair went to worship Lord Siva in the nearby celebrated temple at Trichur. The story goes that, pleased by their devotion, the God appeared before them in a dream and asked them to choose between a number of long-lived sons who would remain ignorant and stupid and one who would live for eight years only, but would be possessed of phenomenal intellectual gifts. Sivaguru and his wife had no hesitation in choosing the latter. According to the legend, it was conveyed to them that Lord Siva Himself would condescend to be born to them.

In fullness of time, Aryamba bore a child carrying such divine marks on its person that those who beheld it proclaimed it an incarnation of Lord Siva Himself. It was given the significant name of Sankara, calculating by the season, the day and time of its birth and also as if to predict the great service the child was destined to render to the world. (Sam Karoti iti Sankarah: 'Sankara' is one who does good). As ill-luck would have it, Sivaguru passed away before the child was five years old and it was then brought up with care and affection by his mother. With the assistance of her kinsmen, Aryamba got the upanayanam ceremony performed for her precocious boy who then mastered all the Vedas and Sastras which seemed to wait on his lips, eager to be uttered by him for their own sanctification.

The eight years of the boy's allotted life were drawing to a close. The fateful day dawned. On that day it happened that Aryamba and Sri Sankara went to the Churna river to bathe. The mother finished her ablutions and was resting on the bank of the river. Suddenly she heard a cry of distress from her son telling her that a terrific crocodile had got his leg in its mouth and was dragging him down. The agony of the mother was indescribable.

Then Sri Sankara told her that he could free himself from the grip of the monster if, then and there, he assumed the Sannyasa asrama bringing about thereby the 'death' of his former condition and the start of a new life. Else, the crocodile would devour him and that would be the end of his physical life. 'Choose' said he, 'this instant; for there is no time to lose. Shall I pass away devoured by the crocodile or shall I live converting myself into a sannyasin?' Aryamba was in a dilemma; but her maternal instinct made her consent to Sri Sankara to live as a sannyasin if thereby she could keep him alive. Then and there, standing in the water, the boy Sankara uttered the incantation which automatically admitted him into the holy order of mendicant sannyasins. And, for a wonder, the crocodile loosened its grip and disappeared from water to appear again on the sky, so the story goes, as a celestial Gandharva released from his erstwhile curse by which he was condemned to be an aquatic monster. Thus Sri Sankara 'died' as a Brahmachari at the ordained age of eight and obtained a further lease of another eight years.

Upon Aryamba quite innocently bidding her son accompany her home, Sri Sankara reminded her that he had become a sannyasin, that he had betaken to an itinerant life and must take leave of her. The mother was anguished at this, grieving as to who could take care of her son. She wailed in disappointment that it was not given to her to see her son grow up, marry and raise a progeny for the continuation of his line. Sri Sankara consoled her by saying: 'Mother dear! Do not grieve. The whole world will be my home hereafter. All those who will initiate me into the sacred lore will be my fathers. All women who give me bhiksha (alms) will be my mothers. The peace that shall be mine by the realisation of the Atman will be my consort. All my disciples will be my sons.' He however promised to be at her bedside in her last moments and speed her way to heaven by his presence. Aryamba then gave him unwilling leave to depart. Sri Sankara traveled on foot from Kaladi to the Narmada banks visiting many a sacred spot on the way. There, in a place called Omkar Mandhata on the bank of river Narmada which from then on is called Sankara Ganga, he met Govinda Bhagavatpada who formally admitted him into the sannyasin order according to the prescribed rituals and imparted the Brahma Vidya to him. After serving his guru, for some time, obeying his command. Sri Sankara went to Kasi (Varanasi) and engaged himself in writing commentaries on the tripod of Hindu philosophy, namely, the Upanishads, the Bhagavad Gita and the Brahma Sutras. At this time an interesting incident happened in the life of Sri Sankara. One morning, he was returning to his monastery after a bath in the Ganga. Leading four dogs an outcaste, who should not approach him, came along.

He was bidden by Sri Sankara to go away from his path. Upon this, the outcaste queried him as to what he bade to go away; if it was the outcaste's body or his Atman. If it was the former, he said, it was compacted of the same five elements as Sri Sankara's own body and was not different. So it need not go away. If it was the Atman, then according to the Advaita that Sri Sankara taught, the Atman of all persons, brahmana or outcaste, was one only and, being identical and all-pervasive, it cannot move away. Sri Sankara immediately understood that his questioner was no ordinary outcaste, but a realised soul and broke forth into a pentad of verses acclaiming the outcaste's greatness. Sri Sankara said in the verse that he deemed a person of such spiritual realisation to be his Guru, be he an outcaste or a brahmana. According to the legend, it was Lord Siva Himself who appeared as this outcaste. The dogs were the four vedas. The outcaste and his retinue vanished and Lord Siva appeared and blessed Sri Sankara exhorting him to finish writing his commentaries.

Another incident occurred some time later. While Sri Sankara was instructing his disciples in his Vedantic commentaries, an aged brahmana appeared before him with a request that he would be pleased to resolve some of his doubts. A vigorous discussion followed between the Master and the brahmana who disputed for a number of days with elaborate arguments Sri Sankara's interpretation of one of the tersest of the Brahma Sutras. This went on for eight days, each side vindicating its stand and there was no prospect of its conclusion. At this time, one of Sri Sankara's disciples, Padmapada by name, wondered who the doughty debater was. In an intuitive flash it struck him that he must be the great Bhagavan Vyasa, the author of the Brahma Sutras. He exclaimed: 'Sankara is Siva and Vyasa is Narayana Himself. When these gods themselves dispute, what can a mere mortal like me do?' Sri Sankara then realised who his disputant was. Prostrating before him he begged to be blessed. Sage Vyasa there upon lauded the fidelity of Sankara's commentaries and gave them the imprimatur of his approval. Now the extended eight years of Sri Sankara's life were about to be over. Adding another sixteen years to the span of his life, Vyasa bade him propagate the Advaita Sastra in the far reaches of India.

III
Then began the triumphant digvijaya of Sri Sankara. The first opponent of Advaita which is the philosophy of the Upanishads (known as the Uttaramimamsa) was the Purvamimamsaka who believed in the primacy and the immediacy of the Vedic Karmic rituals as the means to Moksha. One of the staunchest protagonists of this school was Kumarila Bhatta who lay on the banks of the Ganga at Prayag (modern Allahabad) at the point of death, having immolated himself by fire for the sin of gurudroha (being a traitor to one's Guru), which he acquired by furtively learning the tenets of Buddhism from a Buddhist savant in order to controvert them later. Kumarila, according to the legend, was an incarnation of Kumara, son of Lord Siva. He told Sri Sankara of his predicament which disabled him from debating with him. He bade him go to his own disciple, Mandana Misra living in Mahishmati, saying that he (Mandana) was a more uncompromising ritualist than himself.

Sri Sankara hastened to Mandana's place. On arriving at the city, he was at a loss to discover Mandana's house. He enquired of a woman who was passing by and was told that in the verandah of a house two parrots would be chirping between themselves whether the Vedas were true in their own right or if their truth was derived. That, she said, was Mandana's house. Arriving there, Sri Sankara found the door closed against intruders as a sraddha ceremony was being then performed by Mandana. The story is that Sri Sankara let himself in by his yogic powers. Parrying the abuses of the householder who was wroth at a sannyasin interposing himself in a sraddha ceremony, Sri Sankara said that he did not come there for anna bhiksha (alms of food) but made him agree to a vada bhiksha, (alms of knowledge) after the sraddha ceremony was over. The disputants agreed that Mandana's wife Sarasavani who was said to be an incarnation of the Goddess Sarasvati, (Mandana being Brahma himself), should act as umpire to the debate. The wager was that if either was defeated, he should adopt the asrama of the other, that is, either Sri Sankara should become a householder or Mandana should take to monastic discipline. Leaving them to debate between themselves, Sarasavani went to attend to her domestic chores. Before doing so, she adorned each disputant with a garland of flowers saying that the person whose garland showed signs of fading must be considered to have been defeated.

The debate went on for a number of days. At the conclusion of the sessions on a particular day, Sarasavani invited both of them together for bhiksha signifying that her lord Mandana had become eligible for alms as only a monk is, in other words, that he had been defeated and should, according to the wager, become a sannyasin. This he did, adopting the name Suresvara and thence forward accepted the supremacy of Advaita. He became one of the foremost disciples of Sri Sankara who had earlier, when he was in Kasi acquired a disciple in the person of Sanandana. This disciple came to be known as Padmapada because the river Ganga caused lotuses (padma) to bloom at every step of his foot (pada) to give support to him, when once in his ecstatic devotion to Sri Sankara, he walked right on the stream to fulfil a command of the master on the other bank.

IV
Sri Sankara then traveled to Badri on the Himalayas where His guru Govinda and His guru's guru Gaudapada were living in the enjoyment of nirvikalpa samadhi. He made them revert to world conscious-ness by singing the famous Dakshinamurti Stotra. He received their blessings and went to Kailas. According to the story he was affectionately received by his Great Original, Lord Paramesvara who blessed him with five Siva Sphatika Lingas, the oval emblems of Siva made of transparent crystals and a transcript of Soundaryalahari, a century of hymns in praise of the Divine Mother. As ill-luck would have it, he lost the later fifty nine of these verses which he subsequently replaced by his own composition. The five lingas given by Siva were known as Mokshalinga, Varalinga, Bhogalinga, Muktilinga and Yogalinga. Sri Sankara then returned to Kedara where he installed the Muktilinga and established one of his pontificates, in the nearby Badri, which is called the Jyotish Pitha. Proceeding thence to Nepal, he vanquished the Buddhists who denied the soul and God. He installed the Varalinga at Nilakanta Kshethra which is even now in worship at Nepal.

Wending his steps southward the Bhagavatpada went to Dwaraka in the Western corner of India, sacred to the memory of Sri Krishna. He established the Kalika Pitha there and also a pontificate. Crossing the country travelling eastward, he came to Puri where he founded the Vimala Pitha after worshipping Lord Jagannatha. Thence he went to Srisailam in the Andhra Pradesh where he composed the famous hymn Sivanandalahari and installed a Srichakra in front of the shrine of the presiding goddess Sri Bhramarambika. It was at this time that Sri Sankara vanquished the Kapalikas and put down the homicidal practice to which they were addicted to in their religious worship.

It was at this time that Sri Sankara's supreme spirit of self-sacrifice and his boundless compassion towards even an enemy with murderous intent was evidenced. (The sage of Kanchi used to narrate the incident with his deep feeling of Guru Bhakthi). The chief of the Kapalikas wanted to do away with Sri Sankara. But he knew that such a divine person could not be done away with unless he himself gave his consent for that. The Kapalika, in addition, also knew the loving heart of Sri Sankara and his self-sacrificing nature. So he made bold to request Sri Sankara himself to give permission to behead him! He further said that he would offer the head to his god Kapali, the dreadful form of Siva, and by this offer of the head of a true monk he would reach the heaven of Kapali.

Without a moment's hesitation Sri Sankara gave his hearty approval for the atrocious request! He said, "Till now I had been thinking that the human body alone is incapable of being of service to fellow beings. The hide of the sheep serves as blanket, that of the cow for making musical instruments. The nerves of many animals find use as strings. So on and so forth. But the human body, once dead is just burnt or buried, without being of any use to anybody. I have been thinking so till now. But now, dear man, you say that my head would serve to confer Kalpali's heaven itself on you. I am glad to be utilised thus. If you are sure that I am a true monk do quickly chop off my head before my disciples turn up".

Unmoved by even such an exalted expression of love the Kapalika aimed his sword on Sri Sankara. But before it could touch the neck of Sri Sankara, the Kapalika himself fell dead due to the outburst of the wrath of the Almighty Vishnu in the Man-lion form of Narasimha.

Traversing thence to the Western Ghats, Sri Sankara worshipped Sri Mukambika. There he discovered the dumb prodigy who, on being cured of his defect, became his disciple and attained the name Hastamalaka. Another of the disciples was one Giri by name, generally considered to be backward by his fellow-disciples. Receiving a special mark of grace from Sri Sankara, he broke forth into a soul-stirring hymn of eight verses in praise of his guru, celebrated as the Totakashtaka, himself getting the sannyasa name of Totakacharya.

Resuming his travel, Sri Sankara went to Karnataka and reached Sringagiri (Sringeri). Here he erected a shrine to Sri Sarada, established another pontificate known as the Sarada Pitha and installed there the Bhogalinga from among those that he had brought from Kailas.

V
Meanwhile, Sri Sankara's mother was on the point of death. True to his promise to her, Sankara hastened to her bedside and invoked the grace of Vishnu to take her to Vaikuntha. As a sannyasin should not engage in any kind of ritual, his kinsmen refused to permit him to perform the lady's obsequies himself. Upon his insisting that the duty to one's mother overrode all rules and that he would himself perform his mother's cremation, they all to a man, withheld their co-operation. Sri Sankara carried the dead body to the backyard of his house unaided by anybody and lighted the funeral pyre by invoking his spiritual prowess. Sri Sankara went thence to Tirupati where he established the Dhanakarshana Yantra which, to this day, draws vast sums of wealth from pious devotees. Reaching Jambukeswaram in modern Tiruchirapalli, he tempered the ferocity of Akhilandeswari, the presiding Goddess by installing a shrine to Sri Vighneswara in front of Her, and fixing on the ears of Her person two rings known as Tatankas in the mystically designed Srichakra pattern. He then went to the land's end in Rameswaram to worship Lord Ramanatha in the Linga that he celebrated in his Dvadasalingstotra. in praise of the Lingas installed in the twelve (dvadasa) foremost temples of Siva. Returning, he visited Chidambaram and left the Mokshalinga, another of those he got in Kailas, to be worshipped there.

Travelling through the length and breadth of the country over, Sri Sankara ultimately reached Kancheepuram near Madras. Kanchi is known as one of the seven Mokshapuris of our sacred land (places which confer Liberation) and has had, through the ages, a memorable political, literary, cultural and religious history. Scholars and saints of all denominations and sects have either visited it in their time or taken permanent residence there. It has been the venue of philosophical disputations of all schools of thought. No religious leader considered his mission fulfilled or his victory complete unless he vanquished rivals of other faiths in that famous city. As its name signifies, Kanchi is the waistline of the earth and its central spot. It was but appropriate that Sri Sankara also should go to this place to proclaim the Advaita Vedanta vindicating it against other schools of religion and philosophy. Acclaimed by everyone as the supreme master of all that is to know, Sri Sankara ascended before a large assembly the throne of omniscience known as the Sarvajna Pitha at Kanchi.

He then mitigated the ugrakala, the fierce aspect of the Goddess Kamakshi drawing it into a Srichakra which he placed in front of Her and consecrated it. After renovating the temple to Lord Vishnu in the person of Sri Varadaraja, he asked the reigning king of Kanchi to fashion the city in the form of a Srichakra giving the central place to the shrine of Sri Kamakshi.

A few things are noteworthy in this connection. Kanchi is famous for its numerous temples in honour of Vishnu and Siva. But the main tower of all of them, howsoever distant they may be from the temple of Sri Kamakshi, face it without exception. The processional idols of all these shrines are taken round this Kamakshi temple when their annual festivals are celebrated. In none of the Siva temples of Kanchi is there a shrine for Siva's Consort, that of Kamakshi doing service for all of them. The city is famous as the place where Brahma himself performed a yajna attended by all the celestials.

VI
No wonder that Sri Sankara chose Kanchi to establish the pontificate known as the Kamakoti Pitha there. Of the five Lingas which he got from Kailas, he reserved the Yogalinga for worship by himself here in the Kamakoti Pitha. Entrusting the four chief maths that he had established in the important religious centers of the country in-charge of each of his four eminent disciples, Sankara chose the fifth that he established in Kanchi known as the Saradamatha, for his own stay and ministration. These five maths function to this day as bastions of our ancient Sanatana Dharma in general and of Advaita Vedanta in particular. They have had since Sri Sankara's time a long and illustrious line of pontifical successors who bear his hallowed name and continue to discharge the great mission that he entrusted to them. The Math associated with the Kanchi Kamakoti Pitham has a special significance by reason of its being the place where Sri Sankara spent his last days and finally shed his mortal body merging into the beautitude of Brahmanubhava.

VII
The text of the Srimukhas (pontifical epistles) granted by the Jagadgurus of the Kanchi Kamakoti Pitha since time immemorial refers to Sri Sankara as Nikila-Pashanda-Kantakotgha patanena visadi- krta-Veda-Vedanta-Marga-Shanmatha-Pratishthapa-kacharyah: i.e. describes him as 'one who swept off the thorns that encumbered the various forms of worship of the six manifestations of God'. Worship of these deities had waned in our land due to the inroads of Buddhism and Jainism. It was Sri Sankara who rescued them from oblivion and rid some of them of their unholy encrustations. Particular mention may be made of the vamachara practices in the Sakta religion and the abhorrent rituals of the Kapalikas. Hence Sri Sankara is gratefully spoken of as Shanmathapratishtapakacharya, which means, not one who established the six forms of worship for the first time but one who revived and gave strength and stability to the existing ones. Nor were they to Sri Sankara six different, and much less, opposed forms. They are six alternative ways in which the same Supreme God is worshipped according to the preference of the worshipper. Each chooses his Ishta devata among them, determined by his family tradition (kulachara) and his inclination (ruchi), and accommodates the rest also in a subsidiary way in his pattern of worship. Thus Sri Sankara was a great integrator within the fold of the Vedic religion and he brought about intra religious amity among all those who professed the Hindu faith.

Such was the life and work of the illustrious Sankaracharya who packed within a brief period of thirty-two years a series of achievements which are unequalled both in their content and their variety. Judged by any test, as a writer, as a poet, as a thinker and debater, as a prophet and mystic, as a religious organiser, and by any aspect of his diversified personality Sri Sankara is unique among the great men of the world. He holds a pre-eminent position among the Master Minds that have shaped the thoughts and actions alike of their contemporaries and of posterity. Above all, the Advaita Vedanta that he expounded to such artistic perfection is the one and only philosophy that will effectively make for personal liberation from the shackles of life on the one hand, and for universal amity and peace liquidating social and national rivalries on the other. The Vedanta associated with his name belongs not to one section of the Hindus only. It is the philosophy of the entire humanity and deserves to be carefully studied and scrupulously practised by men in every part of the globe. Most truly, Sri Sankara is referred to with love and devotion as Lokasankara, the most brilliant among the benefactors of mankind for all time and in all times.

Not blessed with a son for a long time, the devout pair went to worship Lord Siva in the nearby celebrated temple at Trichur.

(Sam Karoti iti Sankarah: 'Sankara' is one who does good).

Sri Sankara went to Kasi (Varanasi) and engaged himself in writing commentaries on the tripod of Hindu philosophy, namely, the Upanishads, the Bhagavad Gita and the Brahma Sutras. At this time an interesting incident happened in the life of Sri Sankara. One morning, he was returning to his monastery after a bath in the Ganga. Leading four dogs an outcaste, who should not approach him, came along.

He was bidden by Sri Sankara to go away from his path. Upon this, the outcaste queried him as to what he bade to go away; if it was the outcaste's body or his Atman. If it was the former, he said, it was compacted of the same five elements as Sri Sankara's own body and was not different. So it need not go away. If it was the Atman, then according to the Advaita that Sri Sankara taught, the Atman of all persons, brahmana or outcaste, was one only and, being identical and all-pervasive, it cannot move away. Sri Sankara immediately understood that his questioner was no ordinary outcaste, but a realised soul and broke forth into a pentad of verses acclaiming the outcaste's greatness. Sri Sankara said in the verse that he deemed a person of such spiritual realisation to be his Guru, be he an outcaste or a brahmana. According to the legend, it was Lord Siva Himself who appeared as this outcaste. The dogs were the four vedas. The outcaste and his retinue vanished and Lord Siva appeared and blessed Sri Sankara exhorting him to finish writing his commentaries.

Another incident occurred some time later. While Sri Sankara was instructing his disciples in his Vedantic commentaries, an aged brahmana appeared before him with a request that he would be pleased to resolve some of his doubts. A vigorous discussion followed between the Master and the brahmana who disputed for a number of days with elaborate arguments Sri Sankara's interpretation of one of the tersest of the Brahma Sutras. This went on for eight days, each side vindicating its stand and there was no prospect of its conclusion. At this time, one of Sri Sankara's disciples, Padmapada by name, wondered who the doughty debater was. In an intuitive flash it struck him that he must be the great Bhagavan Vyasa, the author of the Brahma Sutras. He exclaimed: 'Sankara is Siva and Vyasa is Narayana Himself. When these gods themselves dispute, what can a mere mortal like me do?' Sri Sankara then realised who his disputant was. Prostrating before him he begged to be blessed. Sage Vyasa there upon lauded the fidelity of Sankara's commentaries and gave them the imprimatur of his approval. Now the extended eight years of Sri Sankara's life were about to be over. Adding another sixteen years to the span of his life, Vyasa bade him propagate the Advaita Sastra in the far reaches of India.

III
Then began the triumphant digvijaya of Sri Sankara. The first opponent of Advaita which is the philosophy of the Upanishads (known as the Uttaramimamsa) was the Purvamimamsaka who believed in the primacy and the immediacy of the Vedic Karmic rituals as the means to Moksha. One of the staunchest protagonists of this school was Kumarila Bhatta who lay on the banks of the Ganga at Prayag (modern Allahabad) at the point of death, having immolated himself by fire for the sin of gurudroha (being a traitor to one's Guru), which he acquired by furtively learning the tenets of Buddhism from a Buddhist savant in order to controvert them later. Kumarila, according to the legend, was an incarnation of Kumara, son of Lord Siva. He told Sri Sankara of his predicament which disabled him from debating with him. He bade him go to his own disciple, Mandana Misra living in Mahishmati, saying that he (Mandana) was a more uncompromising ritualist than himself.

Sri Sankara hastened to Mandana's place. On arriving at the city, he was at a loss to discover Mandana's house. He enquired of a woman who was passing by and was told that in the verandah of a house two parrots would be chirping between themselves whether the Vedas were true in their own right or if their truth was derived. That, she said, was Mandana's house. Arriving there, Sri Sankara found the door closed against intruders as a sraddha ceremony was being then performed by Mandana. The story is that Sri Sankara let himself in by his yogic powers. Parrying the abuses of the householder who was wroth at a sannyasin interposing himself in a sraddha ceremony, Sri Sankara said that he did not come there for anna bhiksha (alms of food) but made him agree to a vada bhiksha, (alms of knowledge) after the sraddha ceremony was over. The disputants agreed that Mandana's wife Sarasavani who was said to be an incarnation of the Goddess Sarasvati, (Mandana being Brahma himself), should act as umpire to the debate. The wager was that if either was defeated, he should adopt the asrama of the other, that is, either Sri Sankara should become a householder or Mandana should take to monastic discipline. Leaving them to debate between themselves, Sarasavani went to attend to her domestic chores. Before doing so, she adorned each disputant with a garland of flowers saying that the person whose garland showed signs of fading must be considered to have been defeated.

The debate went on for a number of days. At the conclusion of the sessions on a particular day, Sarasavani invited both of them together for bhiksha signifying that her lord Mandana had become eligible for alms as only a monk is, in other words, that he had been defeated and should, according to the wager, become a sannyasin. This he did, adopting the name Suresvara and thence forward accepted the supremacy of Advaita. He became one of the foremost disciples of Sri Sankara who had earlier, when he was in Kasi acquired a disciple in the person of Sanandana. This disciple came to be known as Padmapada because the river Ganga caused lotuses (padma) to bloom at every step of his foot (pada) to give support to him, when once in his ecstatic devotion to Sri Sankara, he walked right on the stream to fulfil a command of the master on the other bank.

IV
Sri Sankara then traveled to Badri on the Himalayas where His guru Govinda and His guru's guru Gaudapada were living in the enjoyment of nirvikalpa samadhi. He made them revert to world conscious-ness by singing the famous Dakshinamurti Stotra. He received their blessings and went to Kailas. According to the story he was affectionately received by his Great Original, Lord Paramesvara who blessed him with five Siva Sphatika Lingas, the oval emblems of Siva made of transparent crystals and a transcript of Soundaryalahari, a century of hymns in praise of the Divine Mother. As ill-luck would have it, he lost the later fifty nine of these verses which he subsequently replaced by his own composition. The five lingas given by Siva were known as Mokshalinga, Varalinga, Bhogalinga, Muktilinga and Yogalinga. Sri Sankara then returned to Kedara where he installed the Muktilinga and established one of his pontificates, in the nearby Badri, which is called the Jyotish Pitha. Proceeding thence to Nepal, he vanquished the Buddhists who denied the soul and God. He installed the Varalinga at Nilakanta Kshethra which is even now in worship at Nepal.

Wending his steps southward the Bhagavatpada went to Dwaraka in the Western corner of India, sacred to the memory of Sri Krishna. He established the Kalika Pitha there and also a pontificate. Crossing the country travelling eastward, he came to Puri where he founded the Vimala Pitha after worshipping Lord Jagannatha. Thence he went to Srisailam in the Andhra Pradesh where he composed the famous hymn Sivanandalahari and installed a Srichakra in front of the shrine of the presiding goddess Sri Bhramarambika. It was at this time that Sri Sankara vanquished the Kapalikas and put down the homicidal practice to which they were addicted to in their religious worship.

It was at this time that Sri Sankara's supreme spirit of self-sacrifice and his boundless compassion towards even an enemy with murderous intent was evidenced. (The sage of Kanchi used to narrate the incident with his deep feeling of Guru Bhakthi). The chief of the Kapalikas wanted to do away with Sri Sankara. But he knew that such a divine person could not be done away with unless he himself gave his consent for that. The Kapalika, in addition, also knew the loving heart of Sri Sankara and his self-sacrificing nature. So he made bold to request Sri Sankara himself to give permission to behead him! He further said that he would offer the head to his god Kapali, the dreadful form of Siva, and by this offer of the head of a true monk he would reach the heaven of Kapali.

Without a moment's hesitation Sri Sankara gave his hearty approval for the atrocious request! He said, "Till now I had been thinking that the human body alone is incapable of being of service to fellow beings. The hide of the sheep serves as blanket, that of the cow for making musical instruments. The nerves of many animals find use as strings. So on and so forth. But the human body, once dead is just burnt or buried, without being of any use to anybody. I have been thinking so till now. But now, dear man, you say that my head would serve to confer Kalpali's heaven itself on you. I am glad to be utilised thus. If you are sure that I am a true monk do quickly chop off my head before my disciples turn up".

Unmoved by even such an exalted expression of love the Kapalika aimed his sword on Sri Sankara. But before it could touch the neck of Sri Sankara, the Kapalika himself fell dead due to the outburst of the wrath of the Almighty Vishnu in the Man-lion form of Narasimha.

Traversing thence to the Western Ghats, Sri Sankara worshipped Sri Mukambika. There he discovered the dumb prodigy who, on being cured of his defect, became his disciple and attained the name Hastamalaka. Another of the disciples was one Giri by name, generally considered to be backward by his fellow-disciples. Receiving a special mark of grace from Sri Sankara, he broke forth into a soul-stirring hymn of eight verses in praise of his guru, celebrated as the Totakashtaka, himself getting the sannyasa name of Totakacharya.

Resuming his travel, Sri Sankara went to Karnataka and reached Sringagiri (Sringeri). Here he erected a shrine to Sri Sarada, established another pontificate known as the Sarada Pitha and installed there the Bhogalinga from among those that he had brought from Kailas.

V
Meanwhile, Sri Sankara's mother was on the point of death. True to his promise to her, Sankara hastened to her bedside and invoked the grace of Vishnu to take her to Vaikuntha. As a sannyasin should not engage in any kind of ritual, his kinsmen refused to permit him to perform the lady's obsequies himself. Upon his insisting that the duty to one's mother overrode all rules and that he would himself perform his mother's cremation, they all to a man, withheld their co-operation. Sri Sankara carried the dead body to the backyard of his house unaided by anybody and lighted the funeral pyre by invoking his spiritual prowess. Sri Sankara went thence to Tirupati where he established the Dhanakarshana Yantra which, to this day, draws vast sums of wealth from pious devotees. Reaching Jambukeswaram in modern Tiruchirapalli, he tempered the ferocity of Akhilandeswari, the presiding Goddess by installing a shrine to Sri Vighneswara in front of Her, and fixing on the ears of Her person two rings known as Tatankas in the mystically designed Srichakra pattern. He then went to the land's end in Rameswaram to worship Lord Ramanatha in the Linga that he celebrated in his Dvadasalingstotra. in praise of the Lingas installed in the twelve (dvadasa) foremost temples of Siva. Returning, he visited Chidambaram and left the Mokshalinga, another of those he got in Kailas, to be worshipped there.

Travelling through the length and breadth of the country over, Sri Sankara ultimately reached Kancheepuram near Madras. Kanchi is known as one of the seven Mokshapuris of our sacred land (places which confer Liberation) and has had, through the ages, a memorable political, literary, cultural and religious history. Scholars and saints of all denominations and sects have either visited it in their time or taken permanent residence there. It has been the venue of philosophical disputations of all schools of thought. No religious leader considered his mission fulfilled or his victory complete unless he vanquished rivals of other faiths in that famous city. As its name signifies, Kanchi is the waistline of the earth and its central spot. It was but appropriate that Sri Sankara also should go to this place to proclaim the Advaita Vedanta vindicating it against other schools of religion and philosophy. Acclaimed by everyone as the supreme master of all that is to know, Sri Sankara ascended before a large assembly the throne of omniscience known as the Sarvajna Pitha at Kanchi.

He then mitigated the ugrakala, the fierce aspect of the Goddess Kamakshi drawing it into a Srichakra which he placed in front of Her and consecrated it. After renovating the temple to Lord Vishnu in the person of Sri Varadaraja, he asked the reigning king of Kanchi to fashion the city in the form of a Srichakra giving the central place to the shrine of Sri Kamakshi.

A few things are noteworthy in this connection. Kanchi is famous for its numerous temples in honour of Vishnu and Siva. But the main tower of all of them, howsoever distant they may be from the temple of Sri Kamakshi, face it without exception. The processional idols of all these shrines are taken round this Kamakshi temple when their annual festivals are celebrated. In none of the Siva temples of Kanchi is there a shrine for Siva's Consort, that of Kamakshi doing service for all of them. The city is famous as the place where Brahma himself performed a yajna attended by all the celestials.

VI
No wonder that Sri Sankara chose Kanchi to establish the pontificate known as the Kamakoti Pitha there. Of the five Lingas which he got from Kailas, he reserved the Yogalinga for worship by himself here in the Kamakoti Pitha. Entrusting the four chief maths that he had established in the important religious centers of the country in-charge of each of his four eminent disciples, Sankara chose the fifth that he established in Kanchi known as the Saradamatha, for his own stay and ministration. These five maths function to this day as bastions of our ancient Sanatana Dharma in general and of Advaita Vedanta in particular. They have had since Sri Sankara's time a long and illustrious line of pontifical successors who bear his hallowed name and continue to discharge the great mission that he entrusted to them. The Math associated with the Kanchi Kamakoti Pitham has a special significance by reason of its being the place where Sri Sankara spent his last days and finally shed his mortal body merging into the beautitude of Brahmanubhava.

VII
The text of the Srimukhas (pontifical epistles) granted by the Jagadgurus of the Kanchi Kamakoti Pitha since time immemorial refers to Sri Sankara as Nikila-Pashanda-Kantakotgha patanena visadi- krta-Veda-Vedanta-Marga-Shanmatha-Pratishthapa-kacharyah: i.e. describes him as 'one who swept off the thorns that encumbered the various forms of worship of the six manifestations of God'. Worship of these deities had waned in our land due to the inroads of Buddhism and Jainism. It was Sri Sankara who rescued them from oblivion and rid some of them of their unholy encrustations. Particular mention may be made of the vamachara practices in the Sakta religion and the abhorrent rituals of the Kapalikas. Hence Sri Sankara is gratefully spoken of as Shanmathapratishtapakacharya, which means, not one who established the six forms of worship for the first time but one who revived and gave strength and stability to the existing ones. Nor were they to Sri Sankara six different, and much less, opposed forms. They are six alternative ways in which the same Supreme God is worshipped according to the preference of the worshipper. Each chooses his Ishta devata among them, determined by his family tradition (kulachara) and his inclination (ruchi), and accommodates the rest also in a subsidiary way in his pattern of worship. Thus Sri Sankara was a great integrator within the fold of the Vedic religion and he brought about intra religious amity among all those who professed the Hindu faith.

Such was the life and work of the illustrious Sankaracharya who packed within a brief period of thirty-two years a series of achievements which are unequalled both in their content and their variety. Judged by any test, as a writer, as a poet, as a thinker and debater, as a prophet and mystic, as a religious organiser, and by any aspect of his diversified personality Sri Sankara is unique among the great men of the world. He holds a pre-eminent position among the Master Minds that have shaped the thoughts and actions alike of their contemporaries and of posterity. Above all, the Advaita Vedanta that he expounded to such artistic perfection is the one and only philosophy that will effectively make for personal liberation from the shackles of life on the one hand, and for universal amity and peace liquidating social and national rivalries on the other. The Vedanta associated with his name belongs not to one section of the Hindus only. It is the philosophy of the entire humanity and deserves to be carefully studied and scrupulously practised by men in every part of the globe. Most truly, Sri Sankara is referred to with love and devotion as Lokasankara, the most brilliant among the benefactors of mankind for all time and in all times.

A brand new type of rock has formed from our plastic waste

Scientists have announced a new, trash-based rock type: plastiglomerate.

According to a new study, the new type of material will stay in the Earth’s rock record forever and will one day act as a geological marker for humanity’s impact on the planet.
Research from the University of Western Ontario in Canada has revealed plastiglomerates form when melted plastic rubbish on beaches mixes with sediment, lava fragments and organic debris to produce a new type of rock.
So far the material has only been found at Hawaii’s Kamilo Beach, which is considered one of the dirtiest in the world. Still, the unique geological material likely exists in many other locations, as Joseph Castro reports for LiveScience.
Research on the plastiglomerates from Kamilo Beach has found two types: In situ and clastic. The results are published in GSA Today.
The in situ variety is rarer and forms when “plastic melts on rock and becomes incorporated into the rock outcrop,” lead author Patricia Corcoran told LiveScience. Clastic plastiglomerates (pictured above) instead form as loose rocky structures, when a combination of shells, coral, basalt, woody debris and sand are glued together by melted plastic.
Plastiglomerate was first discovered by oceanographer Captain Charles Moore, who thought that molten lava had melted the plastic to create the new rock material. But, as LiveScience reports, the researchers revealed that the lava hadn’t flowed since before plastics were first invented, suggesting our waste was definitely to blame.
It’s not great news, especially given that today is World Environment Day. Hey Earth, to celebrate, we’ve made you a new type of rock that will NEVER break down. You're welcome. But perhaps there will be some practical uses for the material in future?

A new robot knows your emotions

Pepper is the first robot who knows what mood you're in, and can change his behaviour accordingly.

The robot, developed by Japanese company Softbank, uses sensors to read your mood and will be released next year for under US$2,000.
Pepper was introduced to the world last week, and marks a historic moment in robot design.
The 1.2m, 28kg humanoid robot gets feedback about our moods via facial-recognition technology, cameras, audio records and sensors in its head, CNN reports
And instead of being programmed, Pepper learns how to behave over time to make you happy. Their feedback is also uploaded to cloud storage so other units can modify their behaviour accordingly.
The rolling robot can also speak in 17 languages.
The inventors imagine Pepper will be useful as a household robot, but there's no word on whether it'll be for sale outside Japan as yet.

Controlling thermal conductivities can improve energy storage.

Controlling the flow of heat through materials is important for many technologies. While materials with high and low thermal conductivities are available, materials with variable and reversible thermal conductivities are rare, and other than high pressure experiments, only small reversible modulations in thermal conductivities have been reported.

For the first time, researchers at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign have experimentally shown that the thermal conductivity of lithium cobalt oxide (LixCoO 2 ), an important material for electrochemical energy storage, can be reversibly electrochemically modulated over a considerable range.

"This work is the first experimental demonstration of the electrochemical modulation of the thermal conductivity of a material, and, in fact, the only demonstration of large variable and reversible thermal conductivities in any material by any approach, other than very high pressure experiments," explained Paul Braun, a professor of materials science and engineering (MatSE) at Illinois. The results of research have been reported in the article, "Electrochemically Tunable Thermal Conductivity of Lithium Cobalt Oxide," appearing in Nature Communications .

One technology that may be directly impacted by this work is the field of electrochemical energy storage. Understanding and controlling heat evolution and dissipation in rechargeable batteries is critical. Yet prior to this work, it was not even known that the thermal conductivity of materials commonly used as cathodes changed significantly as a function of the state of charge.

"Our work opens up opportunities for dynamic control of thermal conductivity and additionally, may be important for thermal management in electrochemical energy storage devices which use cathodes based on transition metals oxides such as lithium cobalt oxide," added MatSE professor David Cahill, one of the paper's co-authors.

A better understanding of the thermal properties of battery electrodes may help in the design of batteries that can be charged more rapidly, deliver more power, and operate with a greater margin of safety, since the heat generated during fast cycling and temperature variations in general are very detrimental to lithium-ion batteries.

Indian Classical Music Instrumental - Nadaswaram by Dr.Sheikh Chinna Mou...

Video awaited by everyone


Karukurichi Arunachalam- Singare Velane Deva-Nadhaswaram(live audio)



When Karukurichi Arunachalam passed away in 1964 at the age of 43—survived by his wife, seven daughters and four sons—the world of Carnatic music, the nagaswaram fraternity in particular, mourned his loss as that of the worthiest successor of TN Rajaratnam. A potentially spectacular career was cut short prematurely, though Arunachalam had achieved quite a bit in his relatively short career.

Karukurichi Arunachalam did not hail from a traditional nagaswaram family. His father Balavesam was so fascinated and impressed by the artistry and prestige of Koorainadu Natesa Pillai that he attempted to learn to play the instrument and become a performing artist. Unfortunately he did not quite make it as a musician, but found solace in his son Arunachalam’s talent for the instrument. Arunachalam learnt nagaswaram from Kattumalli Subbiah Kambar and vocal music from Kalakkad Subbiah Bhagavatar and his son Ramanarayana Bhagavatar. (Some accounts have it that he learnt vocal music from Kallidaikurichi Ramalinga Bhagavatar). A great fan of nagaswaram wizard Rajaratnam, Karukurichi constantly dreamt of training under him. Through a fortuitous opportunity to accompany him on stage when TNR’s aide Kakkayi Natarajasundaram Pillai fell ill before a concert at Karukurichi, he did fulfil his dream.

Arunachalam did gurukulavasam shadowing TNR at home and concerts and learning the nuances of his music largely by osmosis. Soon he assimilated the best facets of Rajaratnam’s music in abundance, and became renowned in equal measure for the beauty of his handling of ragas and compositions.

At the height of his fame, Arunachalam had a large fan following, hugely enhanced by his nagaswaram contribution to the film Konjum Salangai, in which he played pure classical music as well as raga-based songs composed for the movie. The song Singaravelane deva in which the playback singer S Janaki sang in tandem with his nagaswaram playing repeating every phrase of his became a runaway hit, still remembered and enjoyed by audiences fifty years later. Once he became well settled in his music career he left Karukurichi in Tirunelveli district where he was born and settled down at Kovilpatti town in the same district.

A tribute in the Indian Express on 7 April 1964 said, “Sri Arunachalam’s renderings of ragas, kritis and pallavis were noted for their tonal purity and melodic beauty.” Natabhairavi, Kharaharapriya, Pantuvarali, Shanmukhapriya, Nata and Gowla were described as his favourite ragas, while rare ragas like Chandrajyoti and Takka were his forte, too. According to a charming story, Rajaratnam, who was a fan of his disciple’s music, once sat down on the road in T’Nagar to listen to Arunachalam’s Huseni raga alapana in a temple procession, refusing to move even though he was causing a disruption of the traffic.

Karukurichi Arunachalam’s death at the Palayamkottai Government Headquarters Hospital on 6 April 1964 marked the end of a distinct era in nagaswaram music of the Rajaratnam school. It would not be unrealistic to speculate that he would have reached great heights in music, even achieved the Sangita Kalanidhi title at the Music Academy where he often electrified audiences.

ஆன்ட்ராய்ட்(ANDROID) என்றால் என்ன?

இது பலருக்கு தெரிந்து இருக்கும். தெரியாத நண்பர்களுக்காக இந்த பதிவு .
ஆன்ட்ராய்ட்(ANDROID) என்பது ஒரு இயங்குதளமாகும்.

அதாவது கணினிகளுக்கு இயங்குதளங்கள் (Operating system)இருப்பதைப் போன்று மொபைல்களுக்கென கூகிள் உருவாக்கிய புதிய வகையான ஒரு இயங்குதளமே ஆன்ட்ராய்ட்.

ஆன்ட்ராய்ட் இயங்குதளமானது Linux Kernel என்ற இயங்குதளத்தை அடிப்படையாகக் கொண்டு, சிற்சில மாற்றங்களுக்கு உட்படுத்தப்பட்டு புதிய மொபைல் இயங்குதளமாக பரிணமித்தது.

ஆன்ட்ராய்ட் இயங்குதளமானது இதுவரை எட்டுக்கும் மேற்பட்ட பதிப்புகளாக வெளியிடப்பட்டிருக்கிறது.

ஆன்ராய்ட் இயங்குதள பதிப்புகள் ஒவ்வொன்றிற்குமே இனிப்பு வகையான cupcake, Donut, Eclair, Froyo, Gingerbread, Honecomb, Ice Creame Sandwich போன்ற பெயர்களைக் கொண்டுள்ளது.
ஆன்ராய்ட் இயங்குதளத்தின் சிறப்புகள்:

* நாம் விரும்பியபடி மொபைலின் முகப்பு பக்கத்தை வைத்துக்கொள்ளும் வசதி - Customize Home Screen

* வழக்கமான தோற்றத்தில் SMS கள் இருக்காமல் புதிய தோற்றத்தில் இருக்கும். அதாவது ஒருவர் அனுப்பிய SMS திறக்கும்பொழுது, அவர் அனுப்பிய அனைத்து SMS களையும் அதே வரிசையில் தொடர்ச்சியாக பார்த்துக்கொள்ளும் வசதி. அதற்கு Threaded SMS என்று பெயர்.

* ஆண்ட்ராய் வலை உலவி. இது கணினியில் நாம் பயன்படுத்தும் Browser போன்ற முழுமையான வசதிகளை உள்ளடக்கியுள்ளது. YouTube வீடியோக்கள் பார்க்க Flash வசதியை கொண்டிருக்கிறது.
கூகிள் வழங்கும் அனைத்து பயன்பாட்டு மென்பொருள்களும் இதில் நிறுவப்பட்டிருக்கும்.

* குரல் மூலம் மொபைலை இயக்கும் வசதி.

* ஸ்கிரீன் ஷாட் எடுக்கும் வசதியைக் கொண்டிருக்கிறது. அதாவது கணினியில் Screen shot எடுப்பதைப் போன்றே இந்த ஆன்ட்ராய்ட் மொபைல்களிலும் ஸ்கிரீன் சாட் எடுக்கும் வசதியைக் கொண்டிருக்கிறது.

ஆன்ட்ராய்ட் பயன்பாட்டை எப்படி பயன்படுத்துவது?

நீங்கள் Tablet pc அல்லது புது மொபைல் வாங்கியவுடன் அதனை கூகிள் கணிக்கில் இணைக்கச் சொல்லிக் கேட்கும். உங்கள் கூகிள் கணக்கைப் பயன்படுத்தி இணைக்கும்பொழுது, அதில் Android Application Market உள்ள வசதிகள் அனைத்தையும் நீங்கள் பயன்படுத்த முடியும்.

உங்களுக்குத் தேவையான அப்ளிகேஷன்களை தரவிறக்கிப் பயன்படுத்த முடியும். இதற்கு Android market பயன்படுகிறது. இதில் பணம் கொடுத்து அப்ளிகேஷன்களை வாங்க முடியும். இலவசமாகவும் ஒரு சில அப்ளிகேஷன்கள் உங்களுக்கு கிடைக்கும்.

தகவல் தொழில்நுட்பத் துறையில் கணினிக்கு அடுத்தபடியாக மிகப்பெரிய சந்தைப் பொருள் மொபைல் போன்கள் ஆகும். கணினிகளில் நாம் செய்யும் கிட்டத்தட்ட அனைத்து வசதிகளும் தற்போது மொபைல்களில் வந்துவிட்டன. மொபைல் சந்தைகளின் எதிர்காலத்தை ஓரளவு கணித்த கூகுள் நிறுவனம் ஆன்ட்ராய்ட் என்னும் இயங்குதளம் மூலம் மொபைல் சந்தையில் களமிறங்கியது.
ஆன்ட்ராய்ட் என்பது மொபைல் (Smartphone) மற்றும் டேப்லேட் கணினிகளுக்கான (Tablet PC) இயங்குதளமாகும். இது லினக்ஸ் கெர்நெல் (Linux Kernel) என்னும் இயங்குதளத்தை அடிப்படையாகக் கொண்டது. ஆனால் இதில் சில மாற்றங்களை செய்து வெளியிட்டது கூகுள்.

ஆன்ட்ராய்ட் பதிப்புகள் (Android Versions):

ஆன்ட்ராய்ட் இயங்குதளம் தொடர்ந்து மேம்படுத்தப்படும். ஒவ்வொரு தடவை மேம்படுத்தப்படும் போதும் பழைய பதிப்பில் உள்ள பிழைகள் களையப்பட்டு புதிய வசதிகள் அறிமுகப்படுத்தப்படும். ஒவ்வொரு பதிப்பிற்கும் இனிப்புவகை உணவுகளின் பெயர்களை வைத்துள்ளது கூகுள்.

இதுவரை வந்துள்ள பதிப்புகளின் பெயர்கள்:



சமீபத்திய பதிப்பு Ice CreamSandwich (V4.0) ஆகும். ஆன்ட்ராய்ட் புதிய பதிப்பு வந்தவுடனேயே நீங்கள் அதனை பெற முடியாது. நீங்கள் வைத்திருக்கும் மொபைல் மாடலுக்கு உங்கள் மொபைல் நிறுவனம் அந்த வசதியை கொடுக்கும் போது தான் நீங்கள் பெற முடியும்.

ஆன்ட்ராய்ட் சிறப்பம்சங்கள்:



1. Customize Home Screen - மொபைலின் முகப்பு பக்கத்தை நம் விருப்பப்படிWidget-களை வைத்துக் கொள்ளலாம்.

2. Threaded SMS - நாம் அனுப்பும் எஸ்எம்எஸ்கள் வழக்கமான தோற்றத்தில் இல்லாமல், Threaded SMS என்ற புதிய தோற்றத்தில் இருக்கும். Chat-ல் இருப்பது போன்று ஒருவருடன் நாம் அனுப்பும்/பெறும் எஸ்எம்எஸ்கள் ஒரே வரிசையில் இருக்கும்.

3. Web Browser - கணினிகளில் பயன்படுத்தும் உலவி போன்றே இதுவும் பயன் தருகிறது. முழுமையான FLASH வசதி இருப்பதால் யூட்யூப் போன்ற விடியோக்களை பார்க்கலாம். தற்போது வந்துள்ள ஐஸ்க்ரீம் சான்ட்விச் பதிப்பில் க்ரோம் உலவியின் தொழில்நுட்பம் பயன்படுத்தப்படுகிறது.

4. Google Apps - கிட்டத்தட்ட அனைத்து ஆண்ட்ராய்ட் மொபைல்களிலும் கூகுள் அப்ளிகேஷன்கள் Default-ஆக நிறுவப்பட்டிருக்கும்.

4. Voice Action - இது கூகுள் அப்ளிகேசன் ஆகும்.  உங்கள் குரல் மூலமாகவே உங்கள் மொபைலை இயக்கலாம். அதாவது கால் செய்யலாம், எஸ்எம்எஸ் அனுப்பலாம், பாடல் கேட்கலாம். இது ஆங்கில மொழிக்கு மட்டும் தான். (ஆங்கிலத்தில் பேசினாலும் என் குரலை புரிந்துகொள்ளவில்லை. :) :) :)

5. ScreenShot - மொபைல் திரையில் தெரிவதை எளிதாக ஸ்க்ரீன்ஷாட் எடுக்கலாம். (மேலே உள்ள படம் அப்படி எடுத்தது தான்).

மேலும்  பல சிறப்பம்சங்கள் இதில் உள்ளன. முழுமையாக படிக்கவிக்கிபீடியாவில் பார்க்கவும்.

ஆன்ட்ராய்ட் பயன்பாடு:

ஆன்ட்ராய்ட் மொபைல் (அல்லது டேப்லட்) வாங்கியவுடன் அதனை உங்கள் கூகுள் கணக்குடன் இணைக்க சொல்லும். அப்படி இணைத்தால் தான் Android Application Market உள்பட மேலதிக வசதிகளை பயன்படுத்த முடியும்.

ஆன்ட்ராய்டில் பல வசதிகள் இருந்தாலும் இது அளவில்லாத இணைய இணைப்பு (Unlimited Internet Connection) உள்ளவர்களுக்கு மட்டுமே பயனாகும். ஏனெனில் பல அப்ளிகேசன்கள் இணைய இணைப்பில் தான் வேலை செய்கிறது.

Android Market:

ஆன்ட்ராய்ட் மார்க்கெட் என்பது ஆன்ட்ராய்ட் அப்ளிகேசன்களை பதிவிரக்குவதர்கான சந்தை ஆகும். இங்கு இலவசமாகவும், பணம் கொடுத்தும் பதிவிறக்கிக் கொள்ளலாம். நீங்கள் பணம் கட்டி வாங்கும் அப்ளிகேசன்கள் உங்களுக்கு பிடிக்கவில்லை என்றால், பதினைந்து நிமிடத்திற்குள் திரும்பக் கொடுத்து பணத்தை திரும்பப் பெற்றுக் கொள்ளலாம்.

ஆன்ட்ராய்டில் பல சிறப்பம்சங்கள் இருந்தாலும் இதிலும் குறைபாடுகள் இல்லாமல் இல்லை.

பென்ரைவ்வில் மறைந்து இருக்கும் தகவலை எடுப்பது எப்படி?

நிறைய பேருக்கு இந்த பிரச்சனை ஏற்பட்டு இருக்கலாம். எப்படி என்றால்? தாங்கள் கல்லூரி மற்றும் பள்ளி அலுவகங்களில் உள்ள கணினியில் இருந்து எதேனும் டேட்டா [அ] தகவலை தாங்கள் பென்ரைவ்வில் காப்பி செய்து வைத்து இருப்பிர்கள்.

அந்த பென்ரைவை வீட்டில் வந்து நமது கணினிகளில் செலுத்தி திறந்து பார்த்தால் அந்த பென்ரைவ்வில் ஒன்னும் இருக்காது காலியாக காணப்படும். அதே சமயம் பென்ரைவ் மெமரி அளவை பார்த்தால் நாம் ஏற்றிய தகவலுக்கான இடம் அப்படியே இருக்கும் ஆனால் திறந்து பார்த்தால் ஒன்னும் இருக்காது ?

அந்த பென்ரைவில் உள்ள தகவல் மறைய காரணம் வைரஸ் தான்
எந்த வைரஸ் மறைத்து வைத்து இருந்தாலும் அந்த தகவலுக்கான மெமரி அளவு சரியாக இருந்தால் போதும் . தகவலை சுலபமாக மீட்டு விடலாம் இதற்க்காக எந்த மென்பொருளும் பயன்படுத்த போவதில்லை !!!
கீழ்காணும் விதி முறையை பின்பற்றவும்

தகவலை மறைத்து வைத்து இருக்கும் பென்ரைவ் கணினியில் செலுத்தவும் பின்பு அந்த ட்ரைவ் வை திறக்கவும் பென்ரைவ் மீது டபுல் கிளில் செய்யவும் மேலே MENU வசதியில் TOOLS ( ALT +T ) என்கிற பக்கத்திற்க்கு செல்லவும் பின்பு FOLDER OPTION என்பதை கிளிக் செய்யவும் அடுண்து ஒரு பாப் அப் விண்டோ தோன்றும் அதில் VIEW என்கிற டேப்பை கிளிக் செய்யவும் பின்பு அதில் SHOW HIDE FILES AND FOLDER என்பதில் டிக் போட்டுக் கொள்ளவும் பின்பு அப்படியே அதன் கீழே HIDE PROTECTING OPERATING SYSTEM என்கிறதில் டிக் இருக்கும் அதில் டிக்கை எடுத்து விடவும் உடனை பின்பு YES அல்லது NO என்று கேட்க்கும் YES என்று கொடுக்கவும் பின்பு அந்த பாப் அப் விண்டோவில் OK என்பதை கொடுக்கவும் பிறக்கு தங்கள் பென்ரைவை திறந்து பார்க்கவும் மறைந்து உள்ள தகவல் தெரியவரும் !!!

இப்படி செய்வதின் மூலம் கணினியில் வன்தட்டில் மறைந்து இருக்கும் தகவலை கூட மீட்கலாம் இத்துடன் இயங்குதளத்தில் இயங்கி கொண்டு இருக்கும் DESKTOP.INI என்கிற சில பைல்கள் தெரியவரும் அவற்றை அழிக்காதிர்கள் அவை எல்லாம் இயங்கு தளம் வேலைகள் இயங்க அடிப்படை புரோகிராம் ஆகும் ஆதலால் நமக்கு வேண்டிய தகவல் கிடைத்த உடன் மீண்டும் நான் மேல கூறிய படிtools->folter option-> viewல் சென்று கீழே RESTORE SETTINGS என்று இருக்கும் அதை ஒரு முறை கிளிக் செய்து OK கொடுத்து விடவும் அவ்வளவு தான் !

மைக்ரோசாப்ட் அலுவலர்களால் கூட விடையளிக்க முடியாத கணினி புதிர்கள்

1. CON என்ற பெயரில் போல்டர் ஒன்றை உருவாக்கிப் பாருங்கள். விண்டோஸ் ஏற்றுக் கொள்ளாது. ஏன்? என்ன காரணம்? அது சிஸ்டத்தில் பயன்படுத்தப்படும் சொல் என்பதாலா? மைக்ரோசாப்ட் அலுவலர்களால் உறுதியாகப் பதில் சொல்ல முடியவில்லை.

2. விண்டோஸ் பயன்படுத்துகிறீர்களா! அதனுடன் சிஸ்டம் புரோகிராமாகத் தரப்பட்டிருக்கும் நோட்பேட் புரோகிராமினைத் திறக்கவும். அதில் “Bush hid the facts” என்று (மேற்கோள் குறிகள் இல்லாமல்) டைப் செய்திடவும். பின் அந்த பைலை ஏதேனும் ஒரு பெயரில் சேவ் செய்திடவும். பின்னர் இந்த பைலை மீண்டும் திறந்து பார்க்கவும். இப்போது நீங்கள் டைப் செய்த டெக்ஸ்ட்டைப் படிக்க முடிகிறதா? இல்லை என்றால் காரணத்தைச் சொல்லுங்கள்.

3. மைக்ரோசாப்ட் வேர்ட் தொகுப்பினைத் திறந்து கொள்ளுங்கள். பின் முதல் வரியில் =rand (10, 9) என டைப் செய்திடவும். இந்த வரியை டைப் செய்து என்டர் தட்டி கீழே வரவும். என்ன நடக்கிறது அங்கே? என்று பார்க்கவும்.

டேபிளில் பேக் ஸ்பேஸ் / டெலீட் கீகள்

வேர்டில் அட்டவணை ஒன்றைத் தயாரித்துள்ளீர்கள். இதில் செல்கள், நெட்டு வரிசை அல்லது படுக்கை வரிசைகளை முற்றிலுமாக அழிக்க என்ன செய்கிறீர்கள்? அழிக்க வேண்டியதைத் தேர்ந்தெடுத்த பின்னர் டெலீட் கீயினை அழுத்துகிறீர்களா? என்ன நடக்கிறது? அழிய மறுக்கிறதா? இதற்குத்தான் மெனு வழி இருக்கிறதே. டேபிள் தேர்ந்தெடுத்து எந்த வகை வரிசையோ அதனைத் தேர்ந்தெடுத்து டெலீட் கொடுத்தால்தான் அழிந்துவிடுமே என்று நீங்கள் எண்ணுவது தெரிகிறது. ஆனால் இத்தனை படிகள் தாண்டவேண்டுமே என இன்னொருவர் கூறுவதும் கேட்கிறது. இதற்கு மாற்று கீயாக (மருந்தாக) இன்னொரு கீ உள்ளது. அதுதான் பேக் ஸ்பேஸ் கீ. தேவையான வரிசைகளைத் தேர்ந்தெடுத்து பேக் ஸ்பேஸ் கீ அழுத்தினால் வரிசைகள் நீக்கப்படும். டேட்டா முதற்கொண்டு அனைத்தும் அழிந்துவிடும்.

புற்று நோய்க்கு மருத்துவ சிகிச்சையோடு கீழ்கண்ட பூஜையையும், விரதத்தையும் தவறாது செய்து வந்தால் நல்ல பலன் கிடைக்கும்.

புற்று நோய்க்கு மருத்துவ சிகிச்சையோடு கீழ்கண்ட பூஜையையும், விரதத்தையும் தவறாது செய்து வந்தால் நல்ல பலன் கிடைக்கும். தினமும் விரதமிருந்து காலை, மாலை இரு வேளைகளிலும், தொடர்ந்து ஸ்ரீ மந்திர ராஜபத ஸ்தோத்திரமும், ஸ்ரீ மிருத்யுஞ்ஹஜய ஸ்தோத்திரமும் சொல்லி வர வேண்டும்.

உங்கள் வீட்டுப் பூஜையறையில் வழக்கமாக ஏற்றி வைக்கும் தீபத்துடன் பரிகார தீபமாக கூடுதலாக ஒரு நெய் தீபம் ஏற்றி வரவும். மாலையில் இந்தக் கூடுதல் தீபத்தை ஏற்றி வந்தால் போதும். ஆறு மாதங்களுக்கு இதுபோல் விரதமிருந்து தீபம் ஏற்றி வரவும். இது மிகவும் சக்தியுள்ள பரிகாரமாகும்.

பெண்கள் காமத்தை அடக்க என்ன செய்ய வேண்டும்?

ஒருவரது ஜாதகத்தில் 3ஆம் இடம் இச்சைக்குரியதாக கொள்ளப்படுகிறது. இதில் இச்சை என்ற வார்த்தைக்கு காமம் என்று மட்டும் பொருள் கொள்ளக் கூடாது. ஒரு சிலருக்கு பணத்தின் மீது இச்சை இருக்கும். மற்றொருவருக்கு உணவுப் பண்டங்களின் மீது இச்சை இருக்கும். சிலருக்கு தங்கள் தொழில் மீது இச்சை இருக்கும். உடல் இச்சையும் இதில் அடங்கும்.

பொதுவாக 3வது வீட்டில் நல்ல கிரகங்கள் இருப்பது சிறப்பான பலனைத் தரும். ஆனால் 6வது, 8வது, 12வது வீட்டிற்கு உரிய கிரகங்கள் 3இல் அமர்ந்திருந்தால் தினசரி உடலுறவு கொள்ளக் கூடிய நிலை அல்லது ஒரே நாளில் பலமுறை உறவு கொள்ளும் எண்ணத்தை அது ஏற்படுத்தும். இவர்களுக்கு லக்னாதிபதி சரியாக இருந்து விட்டால் இந்த எண்ணங்களை ஒழுக்க நெறிகள் மூலம் அவர்கள் கட்டுப்படுத்துவர்.

எனவே, 3வது வீட்டில் ஒருவருக்கு என்ன கிரகம் உள்ளது என்பதைப் பார்ப்பதுடன், லக்னாதிபதி யாருடன், எந்த வீட்டில் இருக்கிறார் என்பதையும் பார்க்க வேண்டும். ஏனென்றால் உடல், அழகு, எண்ண ஓட்டங்கள் ஆகியவற்றை நிர்ணயிப்பது லக்னாதிபதி.

காம இச்சை அதிகம் உடையவர்கள் இந்தக் கோயில் வழிபாடு அல்லது பரிகாரங்களை மேற்கொண்டால் பலன் கிடைக்கும் என்று பொதுவாகக் கூறிவிட முடியாது. அவரவர் ஜாதகத்தில் உள்ள கிரக அமைப்புகளைக் கொண்டு தனிப்பட்ட முறையில் பரிகாரங்களை வகுக்க வேண்டும்.

லக்னாதிபதி பலவீனமாக, மறைந்து பாவ கிரகங்களுடன் சேர்ந்திருந்தால் முரண்பாடான இச்சைகள் மனதில் தோன்றும். உடலுறவில் திருப்தியற்ற நிலை ஏற்படும். மனைவியைப் பொறுத்த வரை கணவருக்கு போதுமான இன்பம் கொடுத்திருப்பார். ஆனால் கணவருக்கு அதனால் மனத்திருப்தி ஏற்படாமல் போகலாம். இதனால் சபலம் ஏற்பட வாய்ப்புள்ளது.
