Lakhs of families affected. Crores of money spent. At last nothing has come out from the poilicitians on Telangana.<br />
<br />
With the Congress battling allies, Anna Hazare team and its own folks .. it is unlikely Telangana will be formed anytime before 2014 elections.<br />
<br />
Come Parliament elections, Congress will realize the importance of '17 MPs' and might try to align with TRS / YSR cong to get the Seats. <br />
<br />
What should be the reaction of Telangana people? Should they vote again for Congress?Unknownnoreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3315800141440705996.post-87520797909384754232011-09-09T08:33:00.001-07:002011-09-09T08:33:17.457-07:00Pandarpur Yatra Title Song - Nice one<iframe allowfullscreen="" frameborder="0" height="345" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/_LZLwchi7TY" width="420"></iframe>Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3315800141440705996.post-75417469314425781802011-05-21T18:01:00.000-07:002011-05-21T18:01:20.607-07:00Narasimha Temple - Bidar (Karnataka)How to go to Zara Narashimha Temple, Bidar.<br />
<br />
Narasimha Jhira/Zara Water Cave Temple enshrines the powerful deity Lord Narasimha on the wall at the end of a cave. Better to go with Towels as Men are allowed inside with Towels only. There is a natural spring inside and you need to wade through the water and at the end Lord Narasimha's darshan awaits you.<br />
<br />
The temple is ten minutes drive from the busstand and there are lot of autos to take you there. This is a cave temple.<br />
<br />
there is also a Rama temple and a small bathing area opposite to that. It is a good time pass for the locals. <br />

Thereby, the party also wanted to give a 50-day leeway to the UPA Government to take steps, TRS president K. Chandrasekhar Rao told a news conference here. </p> <p>Mr. Rao said the TRS decided on resignations as a matter of warning to the Government that it would be forcing elections on people which could spell doom to the ruling Congress. Moreover, the move was aimed to mount pressure on the Government to concede the demand during the budget session which was the last opportunity available for it in the current term of Parliament. </p> <p>Beyond the session, the issue could not be settled due to constraints of time.</p> <p>He added that the composition of the present Parliament was ideally suited for creation of separate Telangana as over two-thirds of parties supported the demand in writing. </p>Unknownnoreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3315800141440705996.post-81373872665965013952007-09-17T19:35:00.000-07:002008-12-10T04:29:13.601-08:00Telangana Chief Minister Candidates - SRI P JANARDHAN REDDY (PJR)Here we take a dig @ the prospective Chief Ministerial Candidates for the Telangana State<br /><br />JANARDHAN REDDY, SRI P. <a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgJu1D4FF2poLDeFjVsTKKrgaRLQ9_WRR65KiDNqKILqC7fdI3MHTrpu4Tl2mVX9mBfslDUkeO8mXM36yfG0RUpBuV1RaqVMmf3ukZqleXJrNKak2eoz4_DkaUnoFTN1uHx_pVeWsjGZo0/s1600-h/PJR1.jpg"><img style="cursor: pointer;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgJu1D4FF2poLDeFjVsTKKrgaRLQ9_WRR65KiDNqKILqC7fdI3MHTrpu4Tl2mVX9mBfslDUkeO8mXM36yfG0RUpBuV1RaqVMmf3ukZqleXJrNKak2eoz4_DkaUnoFTN1uHx_pVeWsjGZo0/s400/PJR1.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5111368272140532370" border="0" /></a><br /><br />[210-Khairathabad (Hyderabad Dist.)

From the style, structure and appearance, it can be inferred that the temple was built half a millennium ago. Set in sylvan surroundings, the temple attracts thousands of pilgrims every year and is an ideal place for sequestered retreat and meditation. It enjoyed in the past, great days of pomp and glory.</span></p><p class="ChText1">The temple is one of the oldest in Telengana, having been built during the time of Akkanna and Madanna, the uncles of Bhakta Ramdas. According to tradition, a devotee who used to visit Tirupati every year could not do so on one occasion owing to serious ill-health. Lord Venkateshwara appeared in his dream and said, "I am right here in the jungle nearby. You don't have to worry." The devotee at once moved to the place indicated by the Lord in the dream and saw a mole- hill there, which he dug up. Accidentally, the axe struck Lord Balaji's idol covered by the mole-hill below the chin and on the chest, and surprisingly blood started flowing profusely from the "wounds", flooding the ground and turning it scarlet. The devotee could not believe his eyes when he saw this. Suddenly he could not believe his ears also when he heard a voice from the air which said,"Flood the mole-hill with cow's milk. "When the devotee did so, a Swayambhu idol of Lord Balaji accompanied by Sridevi and Bhoodevi(a rare combination) was found, and this idol was installed with the due rites and a temple built for it.</p><p class="ChText1">Sri Balaji venkateshwara, the Pratyaksha Daiva in kaliyuga, is thus available at Chilkur to shower blessings on His devotees who for any reason are unable to go to Tirupati. Many devout worshippers flock to the temple, to receive the blessings of the Lord and his consorts throughout the year particularly during the Poolangi, Annakota and Brahmothsavams</p><p class="ChText1">With the earnest desire to revive the former glory and importance of the temple, the idol of Ammavaru was installed in 1963 the year following the Chinese aggression, and when the aggression was unilaterally vacated, Ammavaru was given the name of Rajya Lakshmi, signifying this welcome event. The unique feature of this idol is that lotus flowers are held in three hands and the fourth hand is in such a position towards the lotus feet which signifies the doctrine of Saranagathi. </p><p class="ChText1">The temple has been visited by great Acharyas from time to time. A visit to the temple is a must for the Jeer of Sri Ahobila Mutt every time he visits the twin cities, and in the temple is installed the idol of the first Jeer. The Tilakayaths of Sri Vallabhacharya Sampradaya have been regularly visiting the shrine. Jagadguru Sri Sankaracharya of Sringeri Mutt and his disciple graced the efforts of the trustees in improving the temple.</p><p class="ChText1"> </p><p class="ChText1">Try also: <a href="http://allabouthyderabad.blogspot.com/2008/10/how-to-go-to-chilkur.html">How to Go To Chilkur</a><a href="http://allabouthyderabad.blogspot.com/2008/05/sri-venkateswara-temple-tirupati-from.html">Sri Venkateswara Temple Tirupati from Hyderabad</a><a href="http://allabouthyderabad.blogspot.com/2008/05/hyderabad-to-bhadrachalam-sri-rama.html">Hyderabad to Bhadrachalam Sri Rama Temple</a><a href="http://allabouthyderabad.blogspot.com/2008/05/hyderabad-to-kanipakam-varasidhi.html">Hyderabad to Kanipakam Varasidhi Vinayaga Temple</a><a href="http://allabouthyderabad.blogspot.com/2008/04/hyderabad-to-aragonda-hanuman-temple.html">Hyderabad to Aragonda Hanuman Temple (Arthagiri Hanuman Temple)</a><a href="http://allaboutmiyapur.blogspot.com/2008/03/sai-temple-miyapur.html">Sai Temple @ Miyapur</a><a href="http://allaboutmiyapur.blogspot.com/2008/03/hemadurga-temple-miyapur.html">Hemadurga Temple @ Miyapur</a><a href="http://allaboutmiyapur.blogspot.com/2008/03/durga-temple-alwynn-colony-miyapur.html">Durga Temple @ Alwynn Colony Miyapur</a><a href="http://telanganadeccan.blogspot.com/2007/09/telangana-temples-basar-saraswathi.html">Telangana Temples - Basar Saraswathi - Nirmal</a><a href="http://telanganadeccan.blogspot.com/2007/09/telangana-temples-peddamma-talli-temple.html">Telangana Temples - Peddamma Talli Temple</a><a href="http://telanganadeccan.blogspot.com/2007/09/telangana-temples-sri-ujjaini-mahakali.html">Telangana Temples - SRI UJJAINI MAHAKALI Temple</a><br /><a href="http://kondapur.blogspot.com/2008/11/sai-temple-annadanam-kondapur.html">Sai Temple - Annadanam - Kondapur</a></p>Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3315800141440705996.post-73812418725903182192007-09-17T19:23:00.000-07:002008-12-10T04:29:14.165-08:00Telangana Temples - Basar Saraswathi - Nirmal<span style="FONT-WEIGHT: bold; COLOR: rgb(255,102,0)">Temple of Basar, the abode of Goddess of Learning, Goddess Saraswathi.<br /><br /></span><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgkuK9KNHq5GlDRkqCNzccH0fgDPPwVvvZsfimy3kFr6MsSBBc37gFXi4pp5y76SuTyz3__tYoysvsJbewIUk0dWUbE7dI6hDH31J_8_vv8XOY8r9GT23t_uJlVYmPQg2O8jKlUkufve0M/s1600-h/basarSaraswathi.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5111364647188134514" style="CURSOR: pointer" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgkuK9KNHq5GlDRkqCNzccH0fgDPPwVvvZsfimy3kFr6MsSBBc37gFXi4pp5y76SuTyz3__tYoysvsJbewIUk0dWUbE7dI6hDH31J_8_vv8XOY8r9GT23t_uJlVYmPQg2O8jKlUkufve0M/s400/basarSaraswathi.jpg" border="0" /></a> <p class="MAIN">Basar is well connected by rail and road.
