Aadi Pooram (also called Aandal Jayanthi or Aadi Puram) is a major Hindu festival celebrated during the Tamil month of Aadi (July–August). It commemorates the birth of Andal, the only female Alvar saint and a revered devotee of Lord Vishnu.
Also Aadi Pooram bangles are a beautiful Tamil tradition, especially associated with Amman worship during the Aadi month.
On Aadi Pooram, women often receive or offer colourful glass bangles (valayal) as a symbol of auspiciousness, prosperity, feminine energy, and blessings for family well-being. In many temples, bangles are specially decorated and distributed as prasadam to women devotees.
Happy Aadi Pooram!
A year of waiting… A day of divine blessings..
On the sacred occasion of Aadi Krithigai, Lord Murugan graces devotees with His divine presence at Pavazhakunru, nestled within the historic Ardhanareeswarar Temple, Tiruvannamalai.
A truly rare and blessed darshan that devotees eagerly await every year.

Sir, with due respect, since when have armed forces become bigger than God that we should shy away from wearing uniform in front of Him ? Even British, who some try and emulate, given our colonial past, never hesitated in going to Church and getting blessed in uniforms. By accepting someone’s respect, as is the case here, we simply honor their support to armed forces. And that’s how it should be.
Also, it’s more than a Baba ( in your words ) validating Armed forces. Its Armed forces subtly and slowly shedding colonial mindset and owning civilisation heritage. You might be atheist, entire Army is not. We still cry Jai Maa Kali before the attack. We still pray in uniforms in unit sarv dharm sthal. So how’s being in uniform at a stage where Raksha Mantri is present, be wrong ? The function is to extend respect and honor the forces. Why shouldn’t armed forces representatives be dressed smartly and sharply in uniform and invoke pride amongst all attending and watching ?
The officers present there are being honoured for their work in defence forces. It’s justified and fair that they appear in uniform to receive that honor. Moreover, as serving personnel, I’m 100% sure that they took clearance before attending the event. Bound by uniform code, they know what to wear when. So if it isn’t logically, technically and culturally wrong, what exactly is wrong ?
Also would like to add that the real mockery of uniform is being made by the veterans. Eveyone in fraternity knows that medals, caps etc are to worn at formal functions only. But you’ll find veterans across the ranks and services, wearing all sorts of ridiculous looking assortments for TV debates, private functions, political rallies etc. That’s where we should outrage. But we don’t.
A senior officer, who knows very well where he needs to wear what, and then wearing uniform proudly at a stage where the RM himself is standing, is not wrong. And as far as Sadhguru is concerned, I think he’s the only one who speaks for armed forces, stands by them, and has a strong nationalist and India centric approach. Armed forces have enough critics in the country. Such selfless supporters should be respected, not demonised.
Jai Hind, sir.

As human beings become more empowered, there is a fundamental need for us to become more conscious and responsible, rather than reactive and compulsive. #SadhguruQuotes
மனிதர்கள் அதிக வல்லமை பெறும்போது, நாம் எதிர்செயல் செய்பவர்களாகவும் கட்டாயத்தால் செயல்படுபவர்களாகவும் இல்லாமல், அதிக விழிப்புணர்வாகவும் பொறுப்பாகவும் மாறுவதற்கான அடிப்படையான தேவை இருக்கிறது.
