Life at Graduation

Ha.. My graduation BCA ( Bachelor Of Computer Applications) most memorable days of my life, I made few good friends which is an everlasting friendship.. Yeah that’s true. 

In the college last bench my favorite place to sit and enjoy, couple of them making absolute noise, couple of them observing girls and throwing comments(including me), the others enjoying. Yeah I am a rascal those days and my friends too are the same. The other interesting thing those days is singing songs.. a guy good(not very good) at singing and the other playing music with his fingers on the  bench accordingly in-sink with those songs.  

Travelling in the APSRTC bus(the govt operated corporation) daily, 40 km nearly, along with my other couple of friends, another memorable one attached to my life. Always hanging at the door, acting like a cleaner helping people getting on to the bus.. yeah real funny things. Same repeating thing in the return journey and then hang out with my local friends, reaching home by 7 or 8PM daily and dad’s regular scolding. 

Didn’t get a chance to involve in romance with a girlfriend, “no girl friends.. absolutely no girl friends” and I believe most of my girl classmates hated me.

Not even a single class I paid attention.. still managed to pass all the exams. Special thanks to my dear friend Suresh Motukuri who is wokring, now as a lecturer in Nalanda College vijayawada, helped me with mathematics that I scored the highest in the class. Days passed by and we all finished our exams and passed out.

It was a really good and fun time for me, not only my self all of my friends are somehow managed and struggled a bit to get my degree certificates. which has again created a good repo at my college principal.

After all every one of my class has dispatched and they are busy with their plans and preparations to their post graduation. some of them are choosed MBA and Some of them are choosed MCA and legends like me had choosed MSC Infomation Systems.

Lord Subrahmanyeswar Temple, Mopidevi

According to a legend, the Lingam is a self manifested (Swayambhu) one. Veerarapu Parvathalu was a potter, who was a great devotee. Pleased with his devotion the Lord once came in his dream and asked him to dig up the anthill to find his Lingam in the village of Mopidevi. Parvathalu told about his dream to the villagers and dug up the anthill at the place indicated in his dream. Surprisingly, they found the Lingam which was placed on the anthill and they began to worship. He prepared the idols of Horse, Nandi, Cock and Garutmanthudu which are very dear to Subramanya Swamy with clay. He also prepared the idols of great Rishis with clay. He prepared the idols and baked them in the Bhatti in such a fashion that they never lost their original forms.
Lord Subramanyeswara is considered to be the principle deity of the royal family of Challapalli, which is running the temple at present.There is another temple Sri Sakaleswara Swamy (Lord Eeshwara) temple located just beside this temple, it is also a Self Manifested Lingam. The name came from Sagara Chakravarthy who is grand father of Sri Rama, worshipped this lingam. The Lingam was discovered when floods washed Mopidevi in year 1783 and the temple was constructed by Adusumilli Gangubhotlu, who was a Land Lord. There is a legend that the Lingam's depth is still unknown. Now the temple is running at present by Adusumilli Family.

Natives suffering from Sarpa dosha, Rahu, Ketu dosha and Anapathya dosha, if they worship Lord Subrahmanyeswar at Mopidevi will definitely nullify the negative affects according to texts. The Mopidevi temple is situated at a distance of nearly 70 kms from Vijayawada in Andhra Pradesh. It is well connected by flights and trains from many parts of the country.

Four Deva rishis viz., Sankara, Sanakasa, Sanatkumara, Sanatsujata are known for their un-wavering devotion and saintly knowledge. They are immoral and always appear at the age of five years to others. They remained so detached from the awareness of worldly matters that they remain naked without covering their bodies. Once, they came to Kailash, the above of Lord Shiva to worship Him. At the same time, Sachi Devi, Swaha Devi, Goddess Saraswathi and Goddess Lakshmi also arrived. Lord Subrahmanyeswar was sitting in the lap of his mother Goddess Parvathi by that time. Lord Subrahmanyeswar as a child was bewildered at the two contrasts of fully clad gods and goddesses on the one hand and the nude Deva rishis on the other, he giggled innocently in a childish way. Goddess Parvathi chided Lord Subrahmanyeswar for his folly. Later, Lord Subrahmanyeswar realized his lapse and took permission to do penance to get rid of the blemish. Lord Subrahmanyeswar did the penance in disguise, in the form of a snake for many years and successfully cleansed Himself of the folly. The place where Lord Subrahmanyeswar did penance later became popular as Mopidevi.

According to holy texts, Vindhya mountain at one time became over confident of its strength and began to grow upwards. It went up to the planet Ravi. With this, darkness surmounted all over and all mortals and immortals including every flora and fauna suffered in darkness. Gods prayed to Sage Agasthya to humble the Vindhya mountain somehow or the other. Sage Agasthya is known to have attained divine powers through severe penance. He was staying in Varanasi at that time. He, accepting the request of Devas, Sage Agasthya started towards the mountain Vindhya from Northern India. Vidhya mountain is the boarder between North India and South India. Knowing in advance about the arrival of Sage Agasthya, the Vindhya mountain humbled himself to the lowest level so as to give way to the sage. While crossing the Vindhya mountain, Sage Agasthya took promise from Vindhya to be in that humbled state, till he returns from his tour of Southern India. Bud the sage did not return. He settled in South India only. Waiting ages together, Vidhya mountain remained humbled even today.

Sage Agasthya along with his retinue had the occasion to pass through the place, where Lord Subrahmanyeswar did severe penance. He identified the place and said that this area is covered by Tigers and from here if we go towards the Eastern direction, one can find the divine temple of Lord Kumaraswamy known as Subrahmanyeswar. By visiting this temple with devotion, one can get earning all through the life and also attain salvation. It is pertinent to note that the presiding deity of Vijayawada Kanaka Durga rides on Tiger.

Lord Subrahmanyeswar is the son of Lord Shiva and Goddess Parvathi. While Lord Subrahmanyeswar was in her womb, Goddess Parvati could not bear the power of the foetus and hence transferred the same to Ganga Devi. Ganga also could not bear the power of the foetus and hence the foetus slipped into the reed grass. Six female minor deities called Krittika took care of the embryo. Imbibing the strengths of both Lord Shiva and Goddess Parvati, Lord Subrahmanyeswar was born in the the month of Margasiramasam on Shashti day of waxing Moon with six heads, twelve hands, lot of brilliance, luster and the radiance of Sun. Devotees specially worship Lord Subrahmanyeswar on the days of Ashada Sukla Panchami, Naga Panchami, Nagaula Chaviti and Shashti. Pujas for Rahu and Ketu are performed regularly at Mopidevi Temple. Devotees get tonsured as part of fulfillment of their vow. Some get children's ears bored to get relief from Sarpa Dosha. Females who wants children make a crade with a new Saree to the sacred tree here. People who want to get married soon offer Pongal made of rice and jaggery. People suffering from poor sight, ear ailments, skin diseases, lack of progeny due to previous births' misdeeds etc., get relief by worshiping Lord Subrahmanyeswar in Mopidevi. In particular, natives suffering from Sarpa dosha, Rahu-Ketu dosha and Anapathya Dosha worship of Mopidevi Subrahmanyeswar will be highly beneficial.

Hamasaladeevi (Swan Island)

Hamsaladeevi one of the finest village in diviseema and very near to the sea ‘bay of bengal’ and is on the edge of our state infact the end of the state. By now  you must be thinking why I am again mentioning the same thing and that this is known to everyone in the state since it is an older version. I will tell you, the other specialty of the place, two important things about this. 

One is the ‘River Krishna’ straight away going into the Bay of Bengal. There is another name for this place – ‘China Kasi’ and people here say that taking a bath in such places is a holy thing

Second is a temple built by devatas(gods and goddesses),

Ok now, as I told you I belong to this place, and somebody wants to reach this place has to pass on another village where my grand-parents used to stay and there is no other route as such. I heard a lot many stories about this place from my grandma and a priest as well, saying that there was temple of Lord Sri Venu Gopala Swamy the one which was built  by devatas. It is a 1100 to 1200 years old temple. They said the temple is built in the deep waters and no route is available for someone to travel and such temples can only be built by devatas and not by common man. Yes to the best of my knowledge it is impossible to build such structures with out a means of transport by a common man. In the deep waters of the sea(Bay of Bengal) full of heavy water currents, and even now, local management of the temple used to build bridge made up of bamboo sticks and people used to come for the holy bath by crossing the bridge over. Yes in such circumstances building a normal bridge or making another way will not be possible for a common man and only Devatas can make it happen.

The Actual Story goes like this…..

You know Ganga mata, right, people visit the lord Sri Kasi Vishwanatha in the Kasi, and then take a holy bath in the river Ganga and then get relieved from all their sins. Because of this river Ganaga ma turns to black, by taking-in all the sins of the people, after some time. Ganag ma went to Brahmarushi saying about this and took a suggestion from him that taking a bath before the Sun rises on the day of Magasudhapournami(one of the holy day) in the river Krishna where river Krishna goes into the the Sea(Bay of Bengal) then Ganga will get back its own lost features and purity. That’s the reason this place has been as Hamsaladeevi and also called as China Kaasi.

Even now people from all the corners of Andhra Pradesh comes here on the special day of “magha sudda pournami” and takes a holy bath in these waters and to seek blessings of lord Sri Venu Gopala Swamy. This particular event is popularly called as Hamsaladeevi samudrasnanam and this is in the month of February every year.
