Restoration work of Cholakkara Durga temple in Malappuram is proceeding inspite of the attempts by Moplah encroachers to block the same.

The upper portion of the temple is dismantled. The laterite stones were found to be crumbling and unusable. The granite stones will be numbered and reused where possible.

The foundation of the temple is found disturbed due to roots of trees and alignment also needs to be corrected.

The Supreme Court should just declare the administration and interferences in Hindu temples by the govt appointed bodies as unconstitutional.

There is no need to make this contingent upon a foolproof system of administration for Hindu temples. Infact no administrative mechanisms are foolproof.

Once govt vacates, administrative mechanisms suitable for each temple will emerge. And it will refine over time.

The land and temple is successfully reclaimed with the construction of boundary walls and Garbagriha. Rest of the process will also happen and daily worship will restart during next Uttarayana.

People tend to encroach on land when the temple is in ruins, but not when temple is live with worship.

Thousands of Hindu temples are in ruins across Bharat, there should be a focused effort to revive them.

Thanks to all who are joining hands to #ReclaimTemples

The stone work of Odappallam Kirata Shiva Parvati temple in Wayanad is proceeding at workshop in Tamilnadu. The major work will happen here and micro design and setting will happen at temple site.

The construction of stone temples has become easier and faster due to usage of heavy machinery.

Also usage of granite stone will ensure that the construction remains for a minimum of few centuries.

Mahishasura was killed by the Goddess in three kalpas, as eighteen armed Ugracanda, sixteen armed Bhadrakali and as ten armed Durga.

Goddess Durga is considered the most compassionate as upon prayers of Mahishasura , She allowed him a place under Her feet and with a share of the sacrifices.

The worship of the Goddess in this three forms are different and also the Yoginis associated with each forms.

May the Great Goddess strengthen us for the battles ahead.

Criminal trial against Kunheen for destroying temple boundary stones to encroach Cholakkara Durga temple in Malappuram, deferred to 24 Jan 2024

Our people have to attend each hearing as witness, even though case gets adjourned for one reason or another. The magistrate was kind enough to award compensation last time as the accused didn't appear. Many times it's a loss of livelihood for our people.

The only solace is that restoration of the temple has started.

What would Lord Sriram have done if 40,000+ temples in his Kingdom were destroyed and occupied by foreign invaders?

Would He settle with liberating one temple in His name and ignore all others? He would have liberated all temples and restore Dharma.

An eye for an eye makes the whole world blind is a fallacy spread by Mohandas Gandhi.

If retribution is guaranteed, a person will think twice before first taking an eye of another.

Hence an eye for an eye will make the world a better place to be.

Bharat followed Gandhi and even tiny nations like Qatar and Bangladesh insult us on the world stage.

Israel doesn't follow ahimsa or Gandhi, and like all strong nations has a policy of disproportionate response.

When a bullet is fired, they respond with missiles; when a plane is blown up they take out an airport; they wipe out cities which enemies use to stage invasions.

This is exactly what Bharat needs to be, not a weak nation whose leaders crawl before the sheikhs of Arabia, but a nation who can bring enemies to their knees.

Our ancestors conquered lands far and wide, decimated enemies who stepped inside our borders, this should propel the nation and its character.
