Murlidharsa F. Kalburgi

History of Somavamsha Sahasrarjun Kshatriya

4. ROHINI NAKSHATRA

PANCHANGA SUMMARY

Murlidharsa F. Kalburgi

The SSK race has its own dialect with its own speciali-ties. It is intimately related to the Devanagari script as is said by the Bhuteshwarnath Swamiji. If we view our dia-lect scrupulously now we find that we almost identical with the Gujarati language. Our

ancestors hailed from Gu-jrat, Rajsthan, Khatmandu (Nepalk) and Mundagod (the rulers of Gad who owned al-legiance to the kings). The forts are called Killa Gad. This race (SSK) has been us-ing the Hemad Panthi (Nag-modi) script since ages and in course of time, it has in-corporated the vocabulary of the regional languages. In Maharastra the marathi words, in Karnataka the kannada words and in An-drapradesh the telugu words beside the Islam words and

so on. Thus, the SSK tongue has taken on various forms in different regions.

The SSK tongue now called popular as ‘Pattegar’ language. There has been variations depending on the regional differences and in-fluences. Mark certain word endings – sa/cha. Kava aay-os? (When did you come?) and kava aayoch? In Souras-tra (Gujrat) sa is used but in kachch (Gujrat) cha is used. In Kachch region ‘avache’ is in vogue and in Souras-tra aayose or aawase are in

practice. Thus there have been regional differences. The reasearchers of languag-es and experts in the field of dilacts should throw light on these issues. The dialect is mixed with the regional lan-guage and the vocabulary has grown diversely. The unity and the integrity of the SSK Samaj at the national level needs the awareness of the regional differences and unified script is our dire need of the hour.

THE SSK DIALECT

In Bhaga chakra, Rohini Nakshatra is the 4th one. It is ranging from 40-00 to 53-20. It is a cluster of 5 stars. This nakshatras 1, 2,3 and 4th padas come in Vrush-abha (Taurus) rashi. The Adi deva of this nakshatra is Brahmadeva. Sri Vishnu’s great avatar Srikrishna told

Bhagvadgita in this nak-shatra only. Mahabharat’s Bhima also born in this nak-shatra. People who will born in this nakshatra will destroy evils.

Pura, Gram (Village), Metro City primary works, House Opening ceremo-nies, Lake, Well and Dam’s constructions starts in this naksjatra. This nakhsatra is good to start big buildings, big entrepreneurial start ups and all good works.

People who will born in this nakshatra will lead a com-manding and rich life. Roh-inians are sweet tongued, good character, clever and smart.

Incase of Rohini Nak-

shatra, the names start with: 1st pada O, 2nd pada Vaa, 3rd pada Vi, 4th pada Voo.

People born in 1st pada should wear Havala, 2nd pada Diamond, 3rd pada Emerald Green, 4th pada pearls, total 2 carrot or more weighed pearls should be used.

Things to do for Rohin-ians:

Mrugshira, Chitta, Dhanistha are best for you to get Dhan Sampattu (Mon-ey). So this is the suitable time to do business, em-ployment and other money related tasks.

Ounarvasu, Vishakha, Purvashadh are best to bring welfare, so welfare related works can be started this time.

Ashlesha, Jestha, Revati

are best to bring success. So it is the suitable time to start works related to new businesses, big factory pro-jects, communication relat-ed works and adventurous works.

Hubba, Purvashadh, Bha-rani are friendly stars. This is the suitable time to start partnership ventures, rela-tionship works.

Continued...

Unity and Co- operation is necessary for our sur-vival as also for our devel-opment. This requires the enlargement of our vision. We need a broad outlook of life. We must shun our petty selfishness and greed and jealousy . We must try to appreciate others and their achievements. We must try to help others and lift others and motivate oth-ers. We must try to become the role-models for others. Mere money, power and position will not fetch us a position to advise others. If only what we say what we do and if only mean what we say, we become lead-ers.

We need such leaders now. Moral excellence can alone make us leaders. The ssk samaj requires such leadership now to trans-form our samaj in to a solid part of the broader samaj of our country.

We earnestly appeal our organizations to conduct leadership camps, training sessions and workshops emphasizing the moral ex-cellence in all out dealings, and in our interpersonal in-teractions.

We appeal to our vari-ous organizations to con-duct workshops to lnte-grate the skills that are required for the various vo-cations and jobs. We have to strive hard to enhance the levels of general com-petancy as part of the vo-cational training. The needs of the younger generations in empowering themselves to achieve success in the face of stiff competitions, should become our priority.

If only we make concerted efforts in this regard, we can do the best services to our community.

The leaders and the en-thusiastic organizers should devise the priorities of the social services besides the religious functions; we also have to think of doing ser-vices to our community. We have to assertain the prob-lems that afflict our com-munity and make ourselves conscious of the bogging issues. And that works like a magic. We must prepare the fertile ground for our younger generations to grow meaningfully and to the expected standards. Bring about an expected social change .

We should not merely depend on will come to our aid or help, if we do not make an effort ourselves. If we have the determination to do something , we are sure to find a way of doing will turn out to be easy to accomplish if we go on with determination. All difficul-ties or obstacles melt be-fore a strong will of a man. What is the use of a brain if it is not put to use? God-dess Durgamata will come to our help only when we make an effort.

So, let us start debating the vital issues and prob-lems afflicting our commu-nity today on the social and educational planes. We ap-peal to the connoisseurs of our samaj to air their views and remedies. We invite your opinions, responses.

Samasta Sanmangalani

Bhavantu.

LET US TOGETHER WORK FOR THE UPLIFTMENT OF OUR SAMAJ.

RANGATARANG-ANNAUL SOCIAL GATEHRING @ SRI RANGANATAH INTERNATIONAL SCHOOL

Sree Venkatesh Kalburgi writes on Late Shri B.S. Ran-ganath (ICON BY NAME AN-NADAATHA PRABHU) like this:

The Adulation, love and respect that Ranga mama re-ceived during the cremation was phenomenal. There was a large mob gathered at the cremation ground, I have not seen such a huge mob in my life. The Rudrabhoomi was filled with mourners and hom-age seekers; everyone was trying to make sense of what they have lost or what samaj have lost. Many might have taken him for granted now will miss him irreplaceably.

By his deeds in his life he had already reserved a very high place for his Atma, The amount of Homage seekers and mourners visited have made him Reach highest place pos-sible where he will be among Gods. What pulls another Atma towards a Departed, whether it is obligation, bondage, duty or Love I personally feel it has to be his lifetime earnings, how much money he has earned, how much properties he has acquired all becomes immate-rial when nobody misses him or remembers him.

Let me tell u a conversa-tion between two close friends, where one friend is depressed and frustrated by his failure in his life, tries to commit suicide wherein the other friend res-cues him and slaps him and says “you have no right to die, what you have achieved? No worries, if you have not earned money, you have only earned me, your only friend, at least earn three more friends before you die, four of us can carry you after your death, I alone cannot carry you”. This shows Ranga mama had earned the whole samaj and also other friends in his lifetime. By his deeds he has motivated many to do things beyond their abili-ties; he had faced looming large adversities in young age and had risen to the occasion reaching the stage of Karma yogi.

Swami Vivekananda said “Religion is not for the emp-ty stomach”, I can safely say

when Ran-ga mama was around n o b o d y had empty s t o m a c h . Annadaata Suk i bhava is what the inner voice of everyone says when they receive good and tasty food as there’s a say-ing “Easiest way to win heart is through stomach” and An-nadaatha Prabhu Ranga Mama was in each and everyone’s heart. He has left his family a great legacy and responsibility to fulfill and definitely they will carry forward the baton ahead. God bless their family.

Listening patiently to the el-ders and their experiences will teach us a lot and we can be-come wiser and wiser day by day and gain the knowledge of handling the situations in a better way. I have been lucky in that sense have been listen-ing to community elders with intent since the past ten years.

There’s a saying ‘’ Paapi Chi-rayu ‘’ means a PAAP Atma will get another day to live but a PUNYA Atma like Ranga mama is called by Gods as early as possible saying “Hey your work is done here, you have done enough you are urgently re-quired elsewhere where paapis are increasing” where as PAAP Atma is spared to suffer here longer where he is a headache to god as well to take him and put him again elsewhere. Swa-mi Vivekananda said “Silence of good people is more dam-aging then the actions of bad people” therefore vacuum cre-ated by Ranga mama in SSK Society has to be filled with able and efficient people as the SSK Society is more vulnerable than ever before as the antiso-cial elements monopoly might result in liquidating all the good work done by previous elders who had the tenacity to keep our community together. Now it is our entire community’s prerogative to choose wisely and make Ranga mama and all our elders proud.

TOUR AND TRAVEL TIMES

Gotagodi village, Shiggaon Taluk, Haveri District, Karna-taka Utsav Rock Garden- which is located in the midst of nature with beautiful nature and hillocks. A place blended with modern and contemporary art which portrays our ancestral life style, culture and tradition. “Utsav” the word itself defines the meaning- festival of joy and happiness. It is not only a lei-sure/amusement park but a hub of art, culture and education.

Garden has more than thousand sculp-tures where one will definitely give a sec-ond look thinking it to be real. As we enter into the garden we can the Sculptures of one of the pioneer personality of Kannada film industry Dr.Raj Kumar, portraying his several famous roles in cinema. Next, we can see the beautiful water fountain where a sculpture of children depicts the different phases of child growth.

Rural village like atmosphere is set up where we can the sculptures of rural pro-fessions involved in their daily household activities. It gives us a feeling like we have entered into our ancestral phase where sculptures narrates us the beautiful story of our culture and tradition and how they lived together sharing common facilities and which helped them to support each other even in amidst of thousands of odds.

Illustration of Traditional farming tech-niques right from ploughing the fields to harvesting their yield has been wonder-fully represented through sculptures. Here they have also showed us the phases of change in the transport system. Differ-ent professions of village like Goldsmith, Astrologer, Blacksmith, Cobbler, Carpen-ter, Tailor, Farmer etc have been displayed

through sculptures. Garden is designed in such a way that

people won’t get exposed much to sun-light as they have planted number of trees which gives us shade and cool breeze. Artists have worked so beautifully that even the minute things like body posture, dressing style and the way of communi-cation is also wonderfully designed and have infused the life into these sculptures. I suggest one should definitely visit it once during their life time because this is the place where it showcases our culture and tradition to our young generations which has been vanished in this fast paced envi-ronment.

The thought behind this beautiful con-cept is given by Prof T B Solabakkanavar who is one of the renowned artists in Kar-nataka and Prakash Dasanur who is the Managing Partner of this garden.
