You may know about the Great Freedom Fighter "Veera Pandiya
Kattabomman".
His Real name was "Kattabommalu" and was called as King
"Kattabommalu Nayakkar" during his Period.
Kattabommalu was a Great Devotee of Lord Murugan and he was a
Great Upasaka of his 'Kula Dheivam' - 'Shree Jakkamma'.
He Used to took his break fast,when he hears the message
that,the day time pooja at Thiruchendur Murugan sannidhi was
over.
To know this Message he constructed Bell towers from
Tiruchendhur to PanchalanKurichi.
We all know that He Refused to pay tax to British
Government,Fought with them and finally with the help of his
relation,"Ettappan - King of Ettayapuram", he was arrested and
hanged at Kayathar under a Tamarind Tree which is in front of
Shiva Temple - which was worshipped by Shree Rama and
Lakshmana[You can see this Temple on the Way to Thirunelveli).
Now I am going to Tell about 'How Kattabommulu caught?' Which
was not told in the History,hidden by Historical analysts and
Teachers.Because Historical teachers won't accept Mysterical
events that happened really.
As already Mentioned, Kattabommalu was the Great Devotee and
Upasaka of 'Dhevi shree Jakkamma'.
He has the Capacity and qualification and could able to Talk
with Jakkamma.
At First Attempt of war, the Britishes invaded his Fort Made of
sand , Clay,Stone mixed with 'kaddukkai' and fired with
Powerful Weapons on his Fort.
Nothing Happened, and , not able to victory Kattabommalu.
British Army Returned.
At Second Attempt,Britishes easily broke his fort made of sand
,clay and stone and defeated kattabomalu in the war,and,with
the help of his minister,kattabommulu escaped from battle
field.
Do You Know Why Kattabommulu got defeated in the second attempt
of war ? Read the Following;
After Short period of his first time victory over Britishes,he
heard the news that ,Second Time,the britishes again invaded
his fort.
He got so much Emotional and filled with anger. He ordered his
army to get ready for the war.He also prepared for the war.
At this time, "Dhevi Shree Jakkamma" spoked to him,Not to Go
for War,Because his time is not good. And She told him, at
present, pay tax to britishes and go in peace with them.At
Present Moment, act as a obeying person and After wards you can
win them,when your time comes good.
Kattabommulu who was filled with Emotion and Anger refused the
advice of 'Dhevi Shree Jakkamma' and went for war.
Since kattabommulu refused the advice of Jakkama,she left
kattabommulu,his Palace and Fort.
That's why in second attempt of war Kattabommulu got
defeated,His Fort made of sand and clay which was not able to
broken by powerful weapons at first time, was brokened easily
by the britishes in the second attempt.
Giving Respect to God[any Form] is most important.
Where there is emotion,the presence of Knowledge will not be
there.
When there is God's Grace and wish ,No body and nothing can't
shake even the tip of a Grass.
If not, Even a Big Mountain,Big kingdom,Biggest technology or
any thing powerful, will go none.

BRAHMACHARYAM - CELIBACY
The Following Article is From the 'Teachings of Swami Sivanandha' ;
"Brahmacharya or spotless chastity is the best of all penances; a celibate of such spotless chastity is not a human being, but a god indeed... To the celibate who conserves the semen with great efforts, what is there unattainable in this world ? By the power of the composure of the semen, one will become just like Myself."
- Sri Sankaracharya
INTRODUCTION
Brahmacharya is a divine word. It is the sum and substance of Yoga. Brahmacharya is the Achara or conduct by which you attain or reach Brahman (God). It is life in the Absolute. It is movement towards God or the Atman (Self).
Brahmacharya is absolute freedom from sexual thoughts and desires. It is the vow of celibacy. It is control of all the senses in thought, word and deed.
Brahmacharya is not mere bachelorhood. There should be strict abstinence not merely from sexual intercourse but also from auto-erotic manifestations, from masturbation, from homosexual acts and from all perverse sexual practices. It must further involve a permanent abstention from indulgence in erotic imagination and voluptuous reverie.
In a narrow sense, Brahmacharya is celibacy. In a broad sense, it is absolute control of all the senses. The door of Nirvana (liberation) or perfection is complete Brahmacharya.
Celibacy is to a Yogi what electricity is to an electric bulb. Without celibacy no spiritual progress is possible. It is a potent weapon and shield to wage war against the internal evil forces of lust, anger and greed. It serves as a gateway for the bliss beyond, and opens the door of liberation. It contributes perennial joy and uninterrupted bliss. It is the only key to open the Sushumna (the chief among astral tubes in the human body running inside the spinal column) and awaken the Kundalini (the primordial cosmic energy located in the individual).
There cannot be any language without words. You cannot draw a picture without a canvas or a wall. You cannot write anything without paper. Even so, you cannot have health and spiritual life without celibacy.
An established celibate will not feel any difference in touching the opposite sex, a piece of paper, a block of wood, or a piece of stone. A true celibate only can cultivate Bhakti (devotion). A true celibate only can practice Yoga. A true celibate only can acquire jnana (wisdom).
Brahmacharya is meant both for men and women. Bhishma, Hanuman, Lakshmana, Jesus, Mirabai, Sulabha and Gargi were all celibates.
THE VITAL ENERGY
One of the students of Dhanvantari approached his teacher after finishing his full course of Ayurveda (the ancient Indian science of medicine) and asked: "O Bhagavan, kindly let me know the secret of health now."
Dhanvantari replied: "This seminal energy is verily the Atman. The secret of health lies in preservation of this vital force. He who wastes this vital and precious energy cannot have physical, mental, moral and spiritual development."
Veerya (seminal energy) is God in motion. Veerya is dynamic will. Veerya is soul-force. Veerya is the essence of life, thought, intelligence and consciousness. Always remember this.
The vital energy, Veerya which supports your life, which is the Prana (life-force) of Pranas, which shines in your sparkling eyes, which beams in your shining cheeks, is a great treasure to you. It is the quintessence of blood.
From food, chyle is manufactured; out of chyle comes blood; out of blood comes flesh; out of flesh comes fat; out of fat comes marrow; out of marrow comes semen. Semen is the last essence. It is the essence of essences.
Just as sugar pervades sugar-cane and butter pervades milk, so also semen pervades the whole body. It exists in a subtle form throughout the body. It is withdrawn and elaborated in a gross form in the sexual organs under the influence of the sexual will and sexual excitement.
SEXUAL EXCITEMENT AND ITS EVIL CONSEQUENCES
When a man is excited by passion, the Prana is set in motion. The vital air or Prana moves the internal sap or semen. The semen is put into motion. It falls downwards, just as the clouds burst into the rain water; just as the fruits, flowers, and leaves of the tree drop down by the force of the blowing winds.
Note carefully the evil after-effects, once the Veerya is lost. Prana gets unsteady. It gets agitated.. The body and mind refuse to work energetically. There is physical and mental lethargy. Exhaustion and weakness are experienced. You have to take recourse to milk , fruits and other articles to make good the loss of energy. Remember, these articles can never, never repair loss. Bad memory, premature old age, impotence, various sorts of eye diseases and nervous diseases are attributable to the heavy loss of this vital fluid.
Those who have lost much of their semen become easily irritated. They lose their balance of mind quickly. Little things upset them. Those who have not observed the vow of celibacy become slaves of anger, laziness and fear. If you do not have your senses under control, you venture to do foolish actions which even children will not dare to do.
Man, with his boasted intellect, has to learn lessons from birds and animals. Even animals have more self-control than men. It is only the so-called man who has degraded himself much by indulgence. At the heat of sexual excitement, he repeats the same ignoble act again and again. He has not a bit of self-control. He is an absolute slave to passion. He is a puppet in the hands of passion. Like rabbits he procreates and brings forth countless children to swell up the number of beggars in the world. Lions, elephants, bulls and other powerful animals have better self-control than men. Lions cohabit only once in a year. After conception, the female animals will never allow the male animal to approach them till the young ones are weaned and they themselves become healthy and strong. Man only violates the laws of nature and consequently suffers from innumerable diseases. He has degenerated to a level far lower than that of animals in this respect.
Indulgence in the sexual act is exhausting to the female system and a drain upon their vitality as in the case of man. The nervous strain it imposes is very great indeed. The female system, being more delicate and high-strung, is often more affected than that of the male.
NEED FOR CELIBACY
What do we see these days? Boys and girls, men and women are drowned in the ocean of impure thoughts, lustful desires and little sensual pleasures. It is highly deplorable indeed. It is shocking to hear some of the stories of boys. Many college boys have come to me and personally narrated their pitiable lives. Their power of discrimination has been lost owing to sexual excitement and lustful intoxication. Why do you lose the energy that has taken many weeks and months to gain for the sake of a little, momentary sensual pleasure?
In olden days, boys of the Gurukula (ancient educational system of India) were healthy and strong. Today there is no real ethical culture in modern schools and colleges. The present system of education needs a drastic and radical change. Modern civilization has enfeebled our boys and girls. They lead an artificial life. Children beget children. There is racial degeneration. It is impossible to be strong and healthy unless males and females, boys and girls, try their level best to keep up Brahmacharya or the vow of celibacy.
Pure air, pure water, wholesome food, physical exercise, outdoor games like tennis - all contribute to the maintenance of good health, strength and a high standard of vigour and vitality. There are, indeed, many ways to gain health and strength. These ways are, doubtless, indispensable requisite. But, celibacy is the most important of all. It is the only specific that keeps up true manliness.
BENEFITS OF THE PRACTICE OF CELIBACY
The practice of celibacy is not attended with any danger or disease, or undesirable results such as the various sorts of 'complex' wrongly attributed by the Western psychologists. They have no practical knowledge of the subject on hand. They have a wrong and ill-founded imagination that the ungratified sex-energy assumes the various forms of 'complex' such as touch-phobia. The complex is due to some other causes. It is a morbid state of mind due to excessive jealousy, hatred, anger, worry, and depression brought about by various causes.
On the contrary, even a little of self-restraint or a little practice of continence is an ideal 'pick-me-up'. It gives inner strength and peace of mind. It invigorates the mind and nerves. It helps to conserve physical and mental energy. It augments memory, will force, and brain power. It bestows tremendous strength, vigour, and vitality. It renovates the system or constitution, rebuilds the cells and tissues, energizes digestion, and gives power to face the difficulties in the daily battle of life. One who has perfect control over sexual energy attains power unobtainable by another means.
If a man leads a life of celibacy even in his householder's life and has copulation occasionally for the sake of progeny only, he can bring forth healthy, intelligent, strong, beautiful, self-sacrificing children. The ascetics and saviours of ancient India, when married, used to follow this excellent rule very carefully for this purpose, and also used to teach by example and practice how to lead a life of a Brahmachari even as a householder.
It is worth repeating that a true celibate possesses tremendous energy, a clear brain, gigantic will-power, bold understanding, retentive memory and good Vichara Sakti (power of enquiry). Swami Dayananda stopped the carriage of a Maharaja (great king). He broke the sword with his hands. This was due to his power of celibacy. All the spiritual leaders have been true celibates. Jesus, Sankara, Jnana Deva and Samarth Ramdas were all celibates.
THE IMPORTANCE OF RIGHT DIET
Diet plays a prominent part in keeping up celibacy. There are different compartments in the brain and each food produces its own effect on each compartment and of the general system. A confection of sparrow produces aphrodisiac effect. It directly stimulates the reproductive organs. Garlic, onions, meat, fish, and eggs stimulate passion.
Give proper attention to food. Have moderation in diet. Take Sattvic (pure) food such as milk, fruits, and wheat. Occasional fasting checks passion, calms the emotions, controls the Indriyas (senses), and helps in the practice of celibacy.
THEORY AND PRACTICE
People talk of celibacy; but practical men are rare, indeed. A life of continence is really beset with difficulties.
It is easy to tame a tiger or a lion or an elephant. It is easy to play with a cobra. It is easy to walk over the fire. It is easy to uproot the Himalayas. It is easy to get victory in the battlefield. But, it is difficult to eradicate lust.
You need not despair even a bit, however. Have faith in God, in His Name and in His grace. You are bound to succeed if you have faith in Him. Mere human effort alone will not suffice. The divine grace is needed. Lust cannot be completely uprooted from the mind except by the grace of the Lord. God helps those who help themselves.
Lack of spiritual Sadhana is the main cause for all sexual attractions. Mere theoretical abstention from sensuality will not bring you good results. You must mercilessly cut off all formalities in social life and lead a pious life. Leniency to internal lower tendencies will land you in the region of suffering. Excuse will not be of use in this respect. You must be sincere in your purpose for the sublime life of spirituality. Half-heartedness will leave you in your old state of misery.
HOW TO GET ESTABLISHED IN CELIBACY
Do not think of the opposite sex. Do not look at the opposite sex. Looking at the opposite sex will create desire to talk to them. Talking will create a desire to touch them. Eventually you will have an impure mind and will fall a victim. Therefore never look at the opposite sex. Never talk intimately with them. Do not be familiar with them.
The look must be perfectly chaste and pure. Lord Jesus says: "If you have a lustful look, you have already committed adultery in the heart." Lustful look, lustful thinking, wet-dreams are all failures or breaks in celibacy. Be chaste in your look. Be chaste in your talk. See mother in all women. Cultivate sublime, divine thoughts. Repeat the Lord's Name and meditate regularly. You will be established in celibacy.
There are four processes in the practice of celibacy. First control the sex-impulse and sex-Vasana (sex-desire). Then practice conservation of sex-energy. Shut out all holes through which energy leaks. Then divert the conserved energy into proper spiritual channels through Japa, Kirtan, selfless service, Pranayama (practice of breath-control), study, vigilance, self-analysis, introspection and Vichara. Then have conversion or sublimation of the sex-energy. Let it be converted into Ojas (spiritual energy) or Brahma-tejas (spiritual halo) through constant meditation or Brahma-Chintana (remembrance of God).
According to Yogic science, semen exists in a subtle form throughout the whole body. It is found in a subtle state in all the cells of the body. It is withdrawn and elaborated into a gross form in the sexual organ under the influence of the sexual will and sexual excitement. An Oordhvareta Yogi (one who has stored up the seminal energy in the brain after sublimating the same into spiritual energy) not only converts the semen into Ojas, but checks through his Yogic power, through purity in thought, word and deed, the very formation of semen by the secretory cells or testes or seeds. This is a great secret. Allopaths believe that even in an Oordhvareta Yogi, the formation of semen goes on incessantly and that the fluid is reabsorbed into the blood. This is a mistake. They do not understand the inner Yogic secrets and mysteries. They are in the dark. Their Drishti or vision is concerned with the gross things of the universe. The Yogi penetrates into the subtle hidden nature of things through Yogic Chaksu or the inner vision of wisdom. The Yogi gets control over the astral nature of semen and thereby prevents the formation of the very fluid itself.
DANGER OF REACTION
You will have to be very careful of reaction. The senses that are put under restraint for some months, or for one or two years, become rebellious if you are not always vigilant and careful. They revolt and drag you out when opportunities arise. Some people, who observe celibacy for one or two years, become more passionate and waste the energy considerably in the end. Some people become incorrigible, moral wrecks also.
You must not labour under the delusion that you have eradicated lust completely by adjusting the diet a bit, by practicing Pranayama, and by doing a little Japa, and that you have nothing more to do. Temptation may overcome you at any moment. Eternal vigilance and rigorous Sadhana are very essential.
You may be able to stop copulation for months and years, but there should not be any sexual craving or attraction for the opposite sex.
The state of mental celibacy must be kept up even amidst temptations and sickness. Then only you are safe. The senses begin to revolt during times of ailment and also when you come in contact with sense-objects.
You cannot attain perfect celibacy by limited effort. Just as a machine-gun is necessary to kill a powerful enemy, so also, constant, rigorous and powerful Sadhana is necessary to annihilate this powerful enemy, lust. You must not be puffed up with pride for your little achievement in celibacy. If you are put to test, you will hopelessly fail. You must be ever conscious of your shortcomings and you must constantly strive to get rid of them. The highest effort is necessary. Then you will have sanguine success in this direction.
"Brahmacharya or spotless chastity is the best of all penances; a celibate of such spotless chastity is not a human being, but a god indeed... To the celibate who conserves the semen with great efforts, what is there unattainable in this world ? By the power of the composure of the semen, one will become just like Myself."

PANGUNI UTHRAM
Happy Wedding Day to Lord Murugan.
Today "Panguni Uthram" ;
Lord Murugan Married 'Shree Dheivayanai Ambigai' in this Wonderful day.This is not an ordinary Marriage.It's a divine Marriage.Goddess "Dheiva Yanai" is represented as "Icha Sakthi".Goddess "Dheiva Yanai" grown under the Supervision of "Iravadham" - the Divine Elephant[Dheiva Yanai] of Lord Indhra and hence She got the Name as Dheiva Yanai.Goddess Dheiva yanai is the daughter of Indhra - King of Dhevalogam.As a result of victory of 'Dhevargal' over demon 'Soora Pathuman',Lord Indhra gave his daughter 'Dheiva yanai' to Lord Murugan.
At Previous Birth 'Goddess Dheivayanai' was the daughter of Lord Vishnu and her previous birth name was 'Amudha Valli' and her sister name was 'Sundhara valli'.Both of them originated from the blissful tears of Lord Vishnu when he thinked about Lord Muruga with Great Devotion.Both the Sisters, Amudha Valli and Sundhara Valli did Penance[Tapas] to Marry Lord Muruga.As a Result of the Penance,Lord Murugan Appeared before both the Sisters,He Promised and gave a Boon that he will marry them at their next Birth.At Next Birth Amudha valli took birth as 'Goddess Dheiva yanai' and grown in Dhevalogam.Sundharavalli took birth as Valli and grown as a daughter of a Forest king[Kuravargal]. As per Given Promise and Boon,Lord Murugan Married "Dheiva Yanai" in the Way of Karpu Manam[Arranged Marriage]. And, Married Valli in the way of Kandharva / kalavu Manam[Love Marriage].We should not think Marriage of Lord Murugan as Cheap as Human Does.Human Marriage is due to Ignorance,Desire, and so many Expectations.But Lord Muruga's Marriage is For World Sake,to Give Pleasure and hapiness for all beings both in Worldly Life and Spiritual Life.Goddess Dheiva yanai is the Power[Sakthi] of Lord Murugan to Give "Para Sugam" - Joy/Anandham/Happiness which is due to Liberation/Mukthi/Moksham.Goddess Valli is the Power of Lord Murugan to Give "Iga Sugam"-Success and Happiness in Worldly Life.Every one needs both 'Para Sugam' and 'Iga Sugam'.
Three Sakthis:
'Vel' is Considered as "Gnana Sakthi"Goddess "Valli" is represented as "Kiriya Sakthi".As Mentioned Above,Goddess "Dheiva Yanai" is represented as "Icha Sakthi".
1."Kiriya" Means 'Action'.2."Icha" Means 'Wish'.3."Gnanam" means 'Knowledge'.Murugan is the 'Anandha Swarupam'.
With out these three Sakthis[Powers] nothing will happen in this world.Based on these three Powers all the things are happening.
The Mahima and Keerthi of Lord Muruga could not be expressed in a small page and could not be expressed in words by nobody.
Enjoy This Holy Day - Panguni Uthram by sweetly Thinking him and Praying him.
"Solla Solla Inikuthada Solla Solla Inikuthada , Muruga Ullamellam un Peyarai Solla Solla Inikuthada ........."

TEMPLE -THE HOLY PLACE
Temple is the Holy Place.
There is abundant energy Spreaded every where in the Cosmos.
The Tower[Gopuram/Vimaanam]in the Temple attracts these energy and transmit it in to the statue situated in the Karpagraham.We have to recieve the energy needed for us from these statues inside the karpagraham.For that we should follow certain rules.So that we could recieve this cosmic energy.And when we see with the Bakthi baavam - our 'Ego' is Vanished,Mind is set to Free and We could Get Peace/Santham in our Mind.
"Santhamu Lethu Sowkyamu Lethu" - As Said by the Great devotee of Rama - Sath Guru Shri Thyagaragar,Shantham/Peace is most important in our Life.
As we know Sound waves Produces vibration in the atmosphere.Good Sounds produce Good Vibration[For ex :Reciting Manthras].
"In Music Some ragas have the capacity to cure diseases,to bring rain,to bring happiness.But most of the Music in today's cinema produces sound that causes harmful vibration which cause diseases" - Told by Singer Thiru.S.P.Balasubramaniam in Febraury Last week which was issued in Daily Thanthi.According to Science this universe and objects are the physical form of sound.Sound is produced when there is a motion/Movement.Even in atom there is motion - Electrons & protons are moving.Some Sounds are audible and Some are not audible to human ear[For ex - Sounds produced due to the movement of protons and electrons].
Temple is the Good Place to Tune up our mental Health.
Every thing has certain rules.By following the rules we could get good benefits.If there is a rule not to put semicolon next to for loop [for(conditions);{}],we should not do that,then only we could get correct result.At the same time, if there is a rule to put semicolon at the end of the statement,we should follow that, to get correct result.
Like that in Temple also, there are certain rules to get good benefits;
1. Not to Speak un necessarily inside Temple: a.Sound waves that are produced by us has a chance to disturb the sorrounding. Some people talk about food,Serials,Business,comments,Cinema and various unnecessary topics.2. Avoid Unneccessary thoughts Since thought waves also works, and that may cause disturbance to the frequency inside the temple3.Avoid Non-Veg Every emotion has seperate compartment in our brain.Non-Veg food items has the capacity to stimulate the compartment of emotional feelings like Anger,greed,and so on., in our brain.Our thoughts are coming in to action and words.Good thoughts do good to us but in case of bad thoughts;Those thoughts may hidden in our mind,which does not come in to action immediately,but, one day or another day it comes in to action and spoils our life,relation ship,health,wealth and all good things.So we should be very care ful regarding thoughts and Food.Because food has close relation ship with our thoughts.
4.Avoid Cell phones The frequency used by cell phones affect the good sound vibrations inside the Temple.
5.Avoid Cameras.
The Flash/light emitted from camera also affects the frequency inside the temple.
6.Avoid Electrical Lights.
The Light emitted from electrical tubes affects the atmosphere.In turn,Please,lit the earth lamp with Ghee which is Good for the Temple atmosphere and Frequency inside the Temple.
By Following Some of these Rules we could get good benefits.

Avoid Drooling, inside the Temple.
Temple is not a Park,Cinema theater,or a Picnic spot.
I am Saying this,Why Because Some People due to Ignorance they don't know how to use and behave inside the Temple.Because of their disturbance, they also not getting good benefit and not allowing others to get good benefits.They are Spoiling the Good ambience found inside the Temple.
