 A Very Brief Write-up On Satavahanas

https://ramamohanraocheruku.blogspot.com/2022/10/a-very-brief-write-up-on-satavahanas.html

Satavahana dynasty (230 BCE to 220 AD) kings have ruled for almost 400 years giving stability to ancient India by decisively stopping Greek invasions into Indian Mainland. They not only tried their level best but also succeeded to a maximum extant to keep the concept of 'Akhanda Bharata' (of their Mauryan overlords).

They didn't just ruled Telugu lands but have ruled aa very vast empire.They held entire Deccan region (along with Eastern & Western Coasts) as part of their core kingdom and at times conquered beyond Vindhyas and entire south of Vindhyas.

The '*Nasika Prasasti*' inscription of emperor 'Gautamiputra Satakarni' clearly mentions that

Satavahanas during time of GPS made great conquests (from their mainland of Andhraka-Asmaka-Mulaka) kingdoms as far in Northwestern India Kukura (Rajputana), Saurashtra (Gujarat-Kutch), Akara-Avanti (eastern-western Malwa including Ujjain), central indian kingdoms like Anupa (Narmada valley) and Vidarbha-Berar and western regions like Aparanta (northern Konkan with capital of Sopara (present Nalasopora near Thane-Kalyan) and south western regions V(B)anavasi (chutes kingdom) and Kadamaba kingdom (northern Karnataka). In the same inscription they also describe conquerred land between various Hill-Mountains like Vindhyas, Pariyatra (eastern Vindhyas between Ganga-Yamuna), Krishnagiri or Kanhagiri (Kanheri), Sahyadri (MH), Malaya (TN-KL border), Mahendragiri (Tirunelveli) and Sreshtagiri and Chakora parvata (in AP).

In order to administer their vast empire, they stuck to Prakrit language majorly in their inscriptions - as it was the ‘lingua franca' of most part of peninsular Indian mainland in the ancient times after the end of ‘Mauryan empire'.

The scholors and Historians stated the administrative language of the Satavahanas to be Prakrit. The inscriptions by this dynasty found at various places are in both the Prakrit language and the Brahmi script. However we can presume Satavahana's have used the Telugu in its vowel ending prevalent in their bilingual coins.

In fact we should be indebted to Mr. Balakrishna illustrious Telegu Actor who who dug history and manifested Goutami Putra Satakarni to the present day Telugu subjects of both the states.

Frog Mentality

Frog Mentality

Human Beings and frogs are the two creatures in nature who have tremendous power to adjust. Put a frog in a vessel of water and start heating the water. As the temperature of the water rises, the frog is able to adjust its body temperature accordingly. The frog keeps on adjusting with increase in temperature. Just when the water is about to reach boiling point, the frog is not able to adjust anymore. At that point the frog decides to jump out. The frog tries to jump but is unable to do so, because it lost all its strength in adjusting with the water temperature. Very soon the frog dies.

.What killed the frog? Many of us would say the boiling water.

.But the truth is what killed the frog was its own inability to decide when it had to jump out.

.We all need to adjust with people and situations, but we need to be sure when we need to adjust and when we need to face. There are times when we need to face the situation and take the appropriate action.

.If we allow people to exploit us physically, emotionally or financially, they will continue to do so. We have to decide when to jump. Let us jump while we still have the strength! ?

Right plan at the right time, Right decision at the right time and perfect execution at the perfectly right time makes you a victor.

POSITIVE THINKING

 

POSITIVE THINKING

 

Positive Thinking focuses on the bright side of life and aims at positive results.

It is a mental and emotional attitude.

A person who is having a positive attitude spreads positive vibes all around and always achieves happiness, success and sound health.

He has the confidence to surmount any obstacle or difficulty in life.

On the contrary, a negative person pollutes the atmosphere in a group and spreads negative vibes among those around him.

Negative thoughts, words and attitude, create negative and unhappy feelings, moods and behaviour.

Optimism breeds success.

Pessimism breeds failure.

A positive/ optimistic person who before crossing the road looks on either side of the road and actually crosses over to the other side.

A negative or pessimistic person also looks on either side of the road before crossing but doesn't cross for fear of being run over by vehicles.

Face life's challenges with Optimism and ride like a Colossus towards the path of success.

The INGÁ Stone

 

The INGÁ Stone

https://ramamohanraocheruku.blogspot.com/2022/06/t-he-ing-stone-ing-stone-is-rock.html

The Ingá Stone is a rock formation near the Ingá River in northeast Brazil which includes symbols and glyphs thought to have been produced by the pre-Columbian indigneous inhabitants of the region.

is near the town of Ingá in northeast Brazil. The meaning of the carvings remain uncertain, but may allude to astronomy, animals and fruits.

The INGÁ Stone Located in Brazil, it is a World archaeological wonder.

It is over 6,000 years old and has hundreds of strange symbols. Scientists around the world have tried to figure it out without success, all you know is that you have Egyptian, Phoenician and Sumerian characters also similar to the Easter Island rongorongo and mainly symbols of the nostalgic language, the oldest and rarest of humanity. On the stone appears the constellation Orion, the road Milk, messages of a world disaster to come. in the future, methods of opening mental doors and traveling to dimensional worlds, mathematical formulas, equations and many other shocking things. Who left such knowledge in writing 6,000 years ago? on this stone? How is it possible that they knew all this in the past?

Pedra de Ingá is an archaeological monument, identified as "itacoatiara", which consists of a rocky terrain with rock inscriptions carved in the rock, located in the municipality of Ingá in the state of Paraíba. The term "itacoatiara" comes from the Tupi language: itá ("stone") and kûatiara ("crossed out" or "painted")

It is a chewing stuff for the mind to assess whether it has any connection with the Ancient Indian Civilisation. This thinking is for the reason that India is a country, well advanced in many faculties of shastras like astronomy, Astrology, Trigonometry, Geometry, Calculus and many sorts of the like which were widely used in Yagnas. As the available history tells that ours is the most ancient civilisation. Hence the thought.

Ho ever it is for the Archeological Experts to determine the fact.

Srinivasa Santhanaraghavan I will write briefly for you.

It is a tribute to my father who lost my mother at one year of my age and did not marry again, who begged my Mother's Mother to stay back for my brought up was so friendly with me as I was growing. He played marbles ttops gillidanda what nnot every game I was to play with boys of my age. He was not that rich to spend on my education but, though he was an attender in Commercial Taxes Department, with a note to people who respect him, he used to take along with me and allowed me to ask for contributions. Thus I completed my Post Graduation In Mathematics. My clothes he provided were like that of a big executive's son. As there was no Uniform Restrctio he used to send me with Bush Coat and Pant though I was 12, 13 yeras age. I wrote my notes in the school with golden tipped pens like, Swan Watermans Pilot etc. I don't know to provide all this whether he ate properly or not. these things he used to get at cheaper rate, or a contribution by virtue of his good will and for a noble cause but never as a bribe.

My Mother's Mother also brought me up more than my mother.

It will be a brutal callousness on my part if I forget them for any reason as long as I live.

thank you for evencing interest to know.

PHENOMENAL 2 LETTER WORD!!

 PHENOMENAL 2 LETTER WORD!!

https://ramamohanraocheruku.blogspot.com/2022/04/phenomenal-2-letter-word.html

I'm sure you will enjoy this. I never knew one word in English language that can be a noun, verb, adj, adv, prep.

UP

Read until the end ... You'll laugh.

This two-letter word in English has more meanings than any other two-letter word, and that word is UP.' It is listed in the dictionary as an [adv.], [prep], [adj], [n] or [v].

It's easy to understand UP, meaning toward the sky or at the top of the list, but when we have awaken in the morning, why do we wake UP?

At a meeting, why does a topic come UP? Why do we speak UP, and why are the officers UP for election (if there is a tie, it is a toss UP) and why is it UP to the secretary to write UP a report? We call UP our friends, brighten UP a room, polish UP the silver, warm UP the leftovers and clean UP the kitchen. We lock UP the house and fix UP the old car.

At other times, this little word has real special meaning. People stir UP trouble, line UP for tickets, work UP an appetite, and think UP excuses.

To be dressed is one thing but to be dressed UP is special.

And this UP is confusing: A drain must be opened UP because it is blocked UP..

We open UP a store in the morning but we close it UP at night. We seem to be pretty mixed UP about UP!

To be knowledgeable about the proper uses of UP, look UP the word UP in the dictionary. In a desk-sized dictionary, it takes UP almost 1/4 of the page and can add UP to about thirty definitions.

If you are UP to it, you might try building UP a list of the many ways UP is used. It will take UP a lot of your time, but if you don't give UP, you may windUP with (UP to) a hundred or more.

When it threatens to rain, we say it is clouding UP. When the sun comes out, we say it is clearing UP. When it rains, it soaks UP the earth. When it does not rain for awhile, things dry UP. One could go on and on, but I'll wrap it UP, for now . . . My time is UP!

Oh . . . One more thing: What is the first thing you do in the morning and the last thing you do at night?

UP!

Did that one crack you UP?

Don't screw UP.. Send this on to everyone you look UP in your address book . . . Or not . . . it's UP to you.

Now I'll shut UP!

Who are Andhras?

Who are Andhras?

https://ramamohanraocheruku.blogspot.com/2022/03/who-are-andhras-it-is-not-easy-rather.html

 It is not easy rather impossible to confirm the origin of any culture and the date of its origin. Different tribes, classes, and societies gradually combined over a period of time and transformed society had evolved. This is the evolution of a society. I have written this article basing on the research work of Brahma Sri Kota Venkatachalm garu who is a resplendent diamond

Andhra society is one of the ancient societies of India. One can encounter several tales about Andhras in Ithihasas like Mahabharata and Ramayana, in Puranas, and Budhdhist Jataka Tales. This confirms the ancient nature of Andhra society.

Andhras and Kalingas supported the Kauravas during the battle between Kauravas and Pandavas (The Mahabharata Yudhdham). Sahadeva defeated the kingdoms of Pandya, Chola, Odhra, Chera, Andhra, and Kalinga while performing the Rajasooya yajna, as depicted in the Mahabharata Chanoora was killed by Srikrishna in Madhura. Harivamsapuranam corroborates the fact that Chanoora was the king of Karoosa Desa (KarooSa dESam) (on the North side of Vindhya and on the North banks of Yamuna River) and was an Andhra  too.

There is a misconception that Viswamitra condemned the "Naramedha Yagam", freed Sunassepu, the Yajna paSuvu, and adopted him as his son. He asked his children who were hundred in number to consider him as their brother. While the first fifty accepted the proposal the rest lead by his son Madhucchanda opposed it and received the curse from him to become Aatavikas (Forest Dwellers). They became Andhra (not Aandhra) tribal people. They were cursed to be Vedabahyas (Not entitled to lead the life as prescribed by Vedas. This is a story happened in Yaivaswata Manuvantara i.e. 11, 98.24,226 approx. before.

Then who are Andhras? Yayati who ruled Bharata Khanda some 3, 10, 31, 034 approx. had a son by name ‘Anuvu’ in whose dynasty ‘Bali’ was born (Not Balichakravarthi related to Vamana Story). He had 6 Sons by name ‘Anga’ Vanga’ ‘Kalinga’ ‘Sumha’ Pundra’ ‘Aadhra’.

Bali divided his kingdom into 6 and each son started his own kingdom by his own name. Thus the subjects of Andhra became ‘Aandhras’ and not otherwise. Thus Aandhras are followers of Vedic culture and not tribal people who cannot create Chatur Varnas as per Vedas. As they being forest Tribals will not have access to come to towns and cities to learn Vedas from scholars, to learn ruling from Kshatriyas to learn tread from Vaishyas and to learn various services to the society by Shudras. Is it not ridiculous to imagine their going to all these varnas earn and equip themselves and build Kingdoms for ruling?

The following Sloka from Vyasa Bhagavata (9-23-Sloka 5,6) confirms the said fact:

అంగ వంగ కళింగాద్యాః సుంహ పున్డ్రాంధ్ర సంజ్ఞితాః l

జజ్ఞిరే దీర్ఘ తమసో బలేః క్షేత్రే మహేక్షితః ll 5

చక్రుస్ప్వనామ్నావిషయాన్ శాదిమాన్ ప్రాచాకామ్శ్చ్యతే l 6

Meaning, Raja “Bali’ with the blessings of Sage Dirghatama had six sons as said above and they created their own kingdoms to the South-East of Vindhyā in their own names.

Jataka tales were written during 200-250 BC. Tel River is a subriver of Mahanadi in Orissa. This confirms that Andhras ruled the region of ‘Tel River’ and might have been called as Teluguvaru (తెలుగువారు)

Andhra tribes established relationships with Naga, Yaksha, and Dravida (Deep South surrounded by Seas and not any separate sect or dynasty) tribes of Vindhya mountains who already were living there then. Telugu, Tamil, and Kannada are Dravidian languages. Rayalaseema was the first settlement of Tenugu (identify here! TENUGU is used here) people. Later Telangana was occupied. The name "Tenugu" transformed into "Telugu". From "Telugu" words like "Telagalu", "Telangana", "Telanganyulu" (a subsect of Andhra Brahmins), and "Teligiri" originated. A tribe called "Tailang" (taila'ng) in Burma is proposed to be related to Telugu people.

Tenugu (Tenugu) is the meaning for those who travel towards south. In Tamil and Kannada "ten" means south side (Dakshina Dikku).

One more thing to bring to the notice of the readers is that there is nothing like Aryan Theory as no races like Aryans and Dravidians what so ever have ever existed. Please continue reading the following facts the excerpts of which were taken by me from Smt. Satya Sarada Kandula.

 Swasti.
