Kudakkoothu is a traditional dance performed by Krishna and is vividly described in classical Tamil literature. The Silappadhikaram lists it among the eleven principal forms of dance. As the name suggests, the performance is executed with a kudam (pot), showcasing remarkable balance, agility, and artistic skill.
According to tradition, Krishna performed Kudakkoothu in the streets of Sonitapura after liberating his grandson Aniruddha, who had been held captive by Banasura.
The Azhwars celebrate this divine dance in several of their pasurams. Andal, in particular, praises Krishna as:
“குடத்தை எடுத்தேறவிட்டு கூத்தாடவல்ல எம் கோவே”
(“O my Lord, who is adept at tossing the pot aloft and dancing with it!”)
The popularity of Kudakkoothu is also reflected in temple art across Tamil Nadu, where numerous sculptures depict Krishna gracefully performing this distinctive dance with a pot.
That one former official is this fat hijabi woman, Mahvash Siddiqui.
She claims "90% of Indian H-1B applications contain fraudulent documents" 🤡
Laughable claim.
No investigation.
Zero evidence.
Prove the claim, or whites and Muslims are a bunch of liars.
I'm inclined to believe that the Pakistani's and Khalistani Agenda accounts, have something to do with this @elonmusk
I'm not preaching hate, that's not my thing.
One thing New Yorkers like me must remember—as per New York caste activists, the entire slate of the @DemSocialists in the state senate and assembly supported the failed caste bill.
They were willing to support a bill that would uniquely single out our community for policing based on a “caste” construct & deny us equal protection.
The DSA was willing to add a redundant category to state law that would allow Hindu & Indian origin New Yorkers to be investigated for “caste discrimination” claims that would almost never apply to other New Yorkers.
Yudhishthira's question to Bhishma in Vishnu Sahasranama points towards Namperumal - Sriranganatha

Who is the foremost deity? Whose adoration & worship will lead to Auspiciousness+
⚠️ DISASTER AT MADRAS MUSEUM! ⚠️
Priceless ancient artifacts dating back to the 3rd century & earlier are being treated like worthless junk. Rushed renovation work is happening directly on top of & around these irreplaceable treasures, leaving beautiful historical sculptures buried under construction pipes, rubble, and heavy machinery as seen in attached images and videos!
The country that gave safe haven to America's most wanted terrorist - Bin Laden for decades, is now funding and forming opinions in American politics.
@elonmusk and @nikitabier pretend to ignore the fact that this is happening on their platform.
Bro @nikitabier you can’t stay silent on this.
The entire Indian side of X is blowing up over the exposé of the TF-2990 syndicate running numerous Telegram groups to coordinate mass anti-India spam, dehumanization, algo gaming, and hate on YOUR platform.
It looks incredibly suspicious because what exactly does “DM Nikita” mean here especially when a regular X user doesn’t have that option? Why does this syndicate think they have a *personal line to you* to silence an exposé?
P.S.: The last image is still up on X as of 9:32 am pst
'Nail biting' is prohibited in the sastras. But this truly was a nail bitingcontest! Watch this clip of 25 participants (who cleared round 1) participating in round 2 of Swami Vedanta Desika's 'raghuvEragadyAvadhAnam' ❤️ What is so special about this round? This was Round 5 in the contest, the toughest of all.
Eg: The jury member will utter a word from the middle of any passage (chUrnikA) say पुण्डरीक. The contestant can take a maximum of 7 seconds to think.
He/She must NOT answer like this: चण्ड-कर किरण-मण्डल बोधित पुण्डरीक वन रुचि लुण्टाक लोचन RATHER this way:
चण्डकर (1) लोचन (8) किरण (2) लुण्टाक (7) मण्डल (3) वनरुचि (6) बोधित (4) पुण्डरीक(5). So the contestant has to run the words L->R & R->L in turns. And guess what? MANY answered this round too! This is the biggest gift to Swami Vedanta Desika from the students! This contest was about memory, retention and delivery! Well, there was a tie-breaker quiz too! Parents & Grandparents must watch this ENTIRE video on my Youtube channel!
We made a movie about him in the name #Draupathi2.. Faced lot of troubles in reviews and even in OTT purchase.. Waiting for good things happen to our project and may people know about Veera Ballala |||
This 1995 Telugu movie appeared without much expectations, no big star hero, not much hype.
But the movie was not just a success, it was a sensation. Ammoru's story was quite old, the Devi coming to the rescue of her devotees.
It was the narration that made the difference. Just imagine a 90s Telugu movie coming up with this kinda VFX, it just stunned audiences.
The climax where the Ammoru kills the evil Tantrik sheer goosebumps. Theaters became mini temples, ladies got a free saree and sindoor.
Ammoru was also a turning point for it's two leading ladies, Soundarya became a leading start. Ramya Krishna till then known mostly for glam roles, showed a new aspect of hers and became the first choice for all those Devi roles.
The movie was the vision of 2 people, producer M.Shyam Prasad Reddy who wanted to make a movie with Hollywood style graphics in Telugu and director Kodi Ramakrishna whose usage of VFX in Ammoru, followed by Anji, Devullu, Devi, Devi Putrudu and Arundhati was top notch and an inspiration for many other directors.
இவனுக்காக வீட்டை விட்டு வெளியேறினாரா அமைச்சர் கீர்த்தனா?! பெயர் மதன்..
ஏம்மா இவனை ஏம்மா இரவு பகலாக கூட்டிட்டு சுற்றிகிறீர்? அமைச்சர் தனி பாதுகாப்பு அதிகாரிகளை விட்டு விட்டு இவனுடன் சென்று அமைச்சர் என்ன செய்கிறார் என்பதை ஆளும் விஜய் தரப்பு விளக்கம் அளிக்க வேண்டும்.
ஏன் எனில் ஒரு சின்ன அரசின் கொள்கை முடிவு கூட பல ஆயிரம் கோடி வரத்தகத்தில் பாதிப்பு ஏற்படுத்தும் அளவுக்கு அரசு அமைச்சரவை பாதுகாப்போடு இருப்பது அவசியம். அது கசிந்தால் போது பங்கு சந்தையில் சூதாட்டம் உச்சம் தொடும். அப்படி சென்சிட்டிவான துறையில் இருந்து கொண்டு இப்படி இருப்பது தமிழகத்தின் தலைகுனிவு..
தொடர்ந்து தமிழகத்தின் முதலீடுகள் ஆந்திராவை நோக்கி செல்வது பெரும் சந்தேகத்தையும் - கீர்த்தானா நடவடிக்கைகள் பெரும் கேள்விகளையும் எழுப்புகிறது..
இந்த கீர்த்தனாவிற்கும் விஜய் ரசிகர் மன்றத்திற்கும் எந்த தொடர்பும் இல்லை. இவர் முழுக்க முழுக்க ஆதவ் வட்டத்தில் இருந்த நபர்.
Was Arasu (2003) one of the earliest Tamil films to have spoken about lack of temple funds due to "politically connected" deliberate rent defaulters on temple land? Which temple was the film shot at?
