सरस्वती का पुष्कर ह्रद के मध्य से श्वेतकमल पर आविर्भाव हुआ। इंद्रदेव गदगद होकर प्रणाम किए। देवी ने उन्हे शब्दशास्त्र का सम्पूर्ण ज्ञान प्रदान किया। उसी दिन से माघ शुक्ल पक्ष पंचमी को वाणी पंचमी के रूप से मनाया जाता है।
(ब्रह्मवैवर्त पुराण , प्रकृति खंड )

जब त्रिदशाधिप महेंद्र ने देवगुरु बृहस्पति को शब्दशास्त्र के ज्ञान बारे में पूछा तब ब्रह्मर्षि अंगिरापुत्र ने उन्हे देवी सरस्वती के उद्देश्य से पुष्कर क्षेत्र में दिव्य सहस्र वर्ष तपस्या करने कहा। सहस्र वर्ष तपः करने के पश्चात तपः मास (सूर्य मकरस्थ) के शुक्ला पंचमी को देवी

Seshachalam Forest is not merely a forest; it is the sacred abode of Lord Balaji, blessed by the seven holy hills. And here, in this divine place, a heinous crime is being committed against our nation, our economy, our faith and our environment.

We speak of the Red Sanders tree. This incredible wealth, this Rakta Chandanam, is found nowhere else on Earth. It is a unique treasure, and it carries the spiritual weight of our people. Legends say it emerged from the divine blood of Lord Venkateswara himself! To cut this tree is not just a forestry crime—it is a spiritual desecration!

These trees are not lifeless wood. We know from the work of the great Indian scientist, Sir Jagadish Chandra Bose, that plants feel pain and shock. They live in a community, what the German forester Peter Wohlleben calls the "Wood-Wide Web." They share, they communicate, they protect each other.

When a mother tree is felled, the entire network shudders with an agonizing electric shock. The criminals who wield the axe are tearing apart a living, sacred community! They see only the red treasure, but we see the wounded faith of millions!

The recent inspection of the godowns at the Mangalam Depot reflected a chilling testament to the plunder of the last few years. It is a silent graveyard. 2.6 lakh logs—the severed remains of an estimated 1.3 lakh Mother trees—stolen, butchered, and stacked as numbered inventory. The financial theft alone is staggering: ₹2,000 crore, perhaps ₹5,000 crore, stolen directly from the State Exchequer and our national future! This is money that belongs to our people, money that should be building roads, schools and hospitals.

But this raises critical questions

How can a few people encroach on forest lands so easily?
Who gives them the audacity to cut down the red sandalwood trees without fear?
How do they smuggle them in broad daylight, escaping from the police, the security, the government agencies, and the community around the forest?

The answers point to systemic failure and a terrible lack of political will in the past. We must stop asking why and start demanding justice.

It’s time all those culprits faced the law and its consequences! No more can individuals treat these ancient forests as gardens in their backyards or treat the Endangered Red Sanders as their personal property.

Our coalition government will not tolerate the smuggling of Red Sanders any longer. We are identifying the smugglers, kingpins and all culprits involved. We will not just arrest them; we will seize their assets under the Forest Act!

A special, full-fledged operation, similar to the Centre's 'Operation Kagar,' to wipe out every single individual involved in this illegal trade shall be initiated soon. We will ensure fear among the smugglers so that no one, no one, dares to touch a single Red Sanders tree again.

The Red Sanders is a life that feels, it is our national wealth, and it is sacred. We are watching, and we will protect the wealth of our nation and the divine sanctity of Seshachalam!

Thirupparankundram is the First of the Six Abodes of Lord Murugan (Kartikeya). The practice of lighting lamps atop the hill during the Tamil month of Karthigai is an ancient tradition of Hindus. It is sad and ironic that today the Hindus in Bharat have to seek judicial interventions to practice their faith and perform their rituals. If, even after winning a decisive legal battle, devotees cannot perform a simple, peaceful ritual on their own property, then where, in their own country, shall they truly find constitutional justice?

In short and simple, let all the Hindus in Bharat understand this - The bitter truth is - The Chennai High Court affirmed our right to light the Deepathoon - first by a single judge, then upheld by a higher bench. Legally, the battle was won. Yet, practically, we were forced to adjust.

Ask yourself - Can any religious festival be moved a week late? Can a holy day's celebration be shifted to a different time? No. Because the sanctity of religious time and the integrity of every religious calendar is non-negotiable.

Yet, for Sanatana Dharma, the moment—the sacred Karthigai Deepam—was stolen, vanished forever. Why? Because Hindus can be taken for granted. Sometimes it's the governments, sometimes it’s the executive, sometimes it’s the NGOs, sometimes it’s a random pseudo intellectual groups – but every time, it is Hindus who accept the loss and adjust. We secured the right, but lost the ritual. This repeated, systemic denial is why a time has come to demand more than just court victories - We need the Sanatana Dharma Raksha Board where devotees actively manage their own temples and religious affairs.

Mockery of Hindu traditions and rituals has become a norm for certain groups. Do they dare to do the same for other religious events?

Does Article 25 become an optional right instead of a fundamental right to the Hindus? Can a Police Commissioner or a District Magistrate unilaterally nullify a specific High Court Directive? If the High Court confirmed the Deepam lighting was a "harmless religious act" on legally owned land, who decides that this practice constitutes a threat to "communal harmony," and by what legal mechanism? How come HR&CE Department consistently and repeatedly act against the interests of Hindu devotees and their temple's traditions, and how do these officials evade serious accountability?

Hindus should observe the collective spirit and solidarity shown by practitioners of Abrahamic religions (religions of Arabian origin) when religious issues arise. They overcome their ethnic, regional, and linguistic differences for the sake of their faith.

As long as Hindus remain divided by caste, regional, and linguistic barriers, the mockery, insults, and abuses against the Hindu religion and its practices shall continue. If Hindus in our nation don't unite under a common minimum program with the collective spirit of Hindu Dharma (or Aram in Tamil), this spirit will be lost.

I hope for a day when every Hindu from Kashmir to Kanyakumari and Kamakhya to Dwarka wakes up to the humiliation Hindus face in their own land.
