Golden Boy Jeremy Lalrinnunga: He manifested his vision into reality


Jeremy was born in 2002 in Aizwal, Mizoram. Sports was in his genes as his father was a boxer. Jeremy has always been obsessed with shiny things and as a child, growing up in Aizawl, he had a couple of ‘ shiny  toys’. Which were the medals of his father, Lalneihtluanga. His father won two golds at the sub-junior national level.

 “They were mounted on the wall of our house. But my brothers and I would play with them all the time. We would pretend we were champions. We even lost one of his medals while playing,” Jeremy said.
He has a poor background and hence his family condition kept him away from pursuing his aspirations. He started working with the neighbourhood Power Works Department as a laborer.

He started boxing  before lifting weights. According to some reports, he learned to lift weights by lifting heavy bamboos. He then made history by becoming the first Indian to win a gold medal at the Youth Olympics in the men’s 62kg division in 2018. Before participating in an international competition, he was a member of the Army’s Boys Sports Company and there he earned multiple medals.

Pingali Venkayya was an Indian freedom fighter and a follower of Mahatma Gandhi who designed a flag, based on which Indian National Flag was designed later. 

He belonged to a Telugu brahmin family,  born at Bhatlapenumarru, near Machilipatnam (in present day Andhra Pradesh). 

He completed high schooling in Madras and graduation in Cambridge University and was posthumously awarded the Bharat Ratna in 2011.

Members of Indian Independence movement had used several national flags before India’s independence in 1947. 

National Flag was designed by Pingali Venkayya, which he presented to Mahatma Gandhi on April 1, 1912 when he visited to Vijayawada city. 

In 1921, Mahatma Gandhi approved the design at Indian National Congress meeting in Vijayawada. 

The Flag had two stripes viz., green and red along with a Gandhian charkha at the centre. 

Later, he added white strip on the top following Mahatma Gandhi’s suggestion. 

This became the original Tricolour and became a symbol of non-violent freedom movement of Mahatma Gandhi.

Swaminarayan Gopinath Temple: An interesting story…

There is an idol of Thakur ji in Swaminarayan Gopinath temple of Gharpur Gujarat. A watch is tied on the wrist of this idol of Thakur ji. This watch was tied on Thakur ji’s wrist more than 50 years ago by an Englishman. When he came to know that there is life in Thakur ji’s idol, he tied a watch on Thakur ji’s wrist to test the truth in it. The clock started running as soon as it put on his wrist.

This clock runs on the pulse rate not from the cell. This clock has been running for more than 50 years and still gives accurate time. When you take off the clock during the makeup of Thakur ji, the clock stops. It starts working again as soon as it is put on Thakur ji’s hand.

Ever growing Shivling at Matangeshwar: Mystery still waiting to be solved

India has been called the land of mysteries for decades, whether for its mysterious natural phenomena or bizarre cultures.  One such enigmatic natural phenomenon occurs at Matangeshwar Mahadev from immemorial time. You will be surprised to hear that the Shrine in Matangeshwar, which is the only living Shivling. And What’s more interesting about the Matangeshwar Shivling is that its size increases little by little each passing year.

The reason for this is still unknown.

Ever growing Shivling at Matangeshwar Temple: Mystery still waiting to be solved
Matangeshwar Temple, Khajuraho Monument Madhya Pradesh

Khajuraho is mentioned in the seven architectural wonders of India and listed on a world heritage site by UNESCO.  The Khajuraho monuments represent outstanding testimony of  Chandela Rajput dynasty.  There were several temples in Khajuraho and were built between 885 AD to 1050 AD, now only a few left. Among the various temples of Lord Shiva in Khajuraho, the most notable and surprising temple is the Matangeshvara temple located here. Huge number of devotees visit the temple to seek blessings from Lord Shiva.

This Shivling is about 9 feet long now and  is still growing by an inch on the occasion of the autumn full moon, measured by the priest of the temple. It is also believed that the Shivling is equally below the ground as above the ground, i.e. this Shivling grows on both sides.

Story behind this Shivling

There are millions of Shivlings in India and each one holds old beliefs behind it. The Shivling is built around a place where a mani was kept by Matang Rishi.  Lord Shiva had Mani, which he gave to Yudhishthir.

Yudhisthir gave it to Matang Rishi, who then gave it to Harshvardhan. Harshvardhan buried it in the ground, since there was no one to take care of it and after time passed, shiving started developing around the mani. Since the Mani was with Matang Rishi, it was named Matangeshwar. 

Hence, it is believed that due to the expensive power of that mani, the shivling grows every year and it is believed that even today the Mani lies below the huge Shivling. Shivaling is growing with the exact pace as humans grow. 

Beliefs

The temple priest believes that it symbolizes Kalyuga, the top head growing towards Swarg-lok and the bottom towards Patal-lok. When the Shivling will finally reach the Patal-lok, the Kalyuga will end.

However, somewhere it is inscripted that Kalyuga will end in the year 428,899 CE.  Whom to believe is still a question.

Others believe that Bholenath married Maa Parvati in this temple. 

Shivling at Bhuteshwar Mahadev also increases in size

Another such Shivaling which increases in size every year is at Bhuteshwar Mahadev Temple at Maroda village of Gariaband district in Chhattisgarh. Bhuteshwar Mahadev Shivling is about 18 feet tall and the spherical width from surface of the Shivling is about 20 feet.
