History of Somavamsha Sahasrarjun Kshatriya The Chalukya Dynasties

paNCHaNGa SummaRY11. HuBBa (puRVa) NaKSHatRa – SimHa RaSHi

Murlidharsa F. Kalburgi

Our ancestors, the Chalukyas have contributed richly to our Country’s art, architecture, education, literature, music, religion and culture, political and social developments. We can enumerate the various contributions of the different Chalukya dynasties as follows:

The Chalukyas of Badami and Kalyani and the Kalachuries belonged to Somavamsha. They contributed great and memorial heritages covering all the varied aspects of life to India as a whole and particularly to the history of Karnataka. Though these facts are well known, it is very unfortunate that our own people are still ignorant of these. The kings and emperors belonging to Somavamsha Kshatriya cult have ruled over the entire Karnataka and parts of Andhra Pradesh, Maharashtra, Gujarat, Madhya Pradesh and Konkan. They have given to our country rich, wonderful and amazing architectural and sculptural heritages and memorable literary works of arts.

Chalukya art and architecture forms a great bulk of the heritage of Karnataka and South India. Agriculture was the major occupation during the reign of the Chalukyas. Home Industries were given priority over other occupations. There were occupational organizations and associations which acted like our modern banks. There was communal harmony and people of all religions lived together harmoniously and peacefully. The Shaiva cult had become popular. The temple of Mahalaxmi in Kolhapur was the centre of the worship of Shakti.

The Chalukyas gave importance to education and literature. Puligeri (Laxmeshwara), Banavasi, Badami, Ihole were the centers of

education. ‘Koumudi Mahotsava’ written by Vijayanka Mahadevi (daughter-in-law of Pulikeshi II) was a good literary work of art. She was called ‘Karnataka’s Saraswathi’. Kannada and Sanskrit were studied. The Kings themselves were scholars of vedas and writers. Education and Literature was held in esteem and the scholars and writers were given the royal support. Kotumuchagi and Nagavi (the small towns in Gadag district) were the centers of higher education which worked like modern universities.

The ‘Gadayuddha’ and ‘Ajit Purana’ by kavi-chakravarthi Ranna have been great literary works ‘Lokopakar’ authored by Chavundaraya II, contain first-rate information about sculpture, astronomy and astrology and medicine. ‘Govaidya’ written by Kirtivarma (son of Someshwara I), ‘Jatak Tilakam’ (the first kannada prose work) authored by Sridharacharya, ‘Mallinatha Purana’ and ‘Ramachandra Charite’ written by Nagachandra (during the reign of the Someshawara IV) have been the great literary works. Besides these many good books on logic, poetry, grammar, music especially Karnataka music were written. The Chalukyas have contributed substantially to the fields of literature, art, architecture and music.

The eleventh star in the horoscopic chart is the Hubba

(Purva) Nakshatra. It is a congregation of the

two groups of stars in the shape of cot (bedstead). It is in the degree from 133-20 to 146-40. The sun is the deity

of this Nakshatra. He symbolizes mortal

body and spiritual wealth. Bhaga (The sun) is the other

form of fire and he is called the distributing deity of wealth, good

fortune and happiness and joy. This Nakshatra indicates the lips and sexual organs of human body. The first four phases (1 2 3 4) of this Nakshatra fall in Simha Rashi.

This Nakshatra is propitious for the destruction of the enemies, tracing of the enemies, preparation of medicines for the deadly diseases and of magical medicine.

The persons born in Hubba (Purva) Nakshatra posses shining physique. They understand the language of love. They are healthy and charitable, generous in giving away to those in need. They are religious, knowledgeable and humble and are capable of enjoying all comforts and luxuries. They

are experts in the dancing-art, worshippers of beauty. They are cute and are eloquent in speech and are interested in political administration.

Hubba (Purva) Nakshatra is auspicious for works related to water. So, this Nakshatra is auspicious for undertaking pond construction, well and bore-well digging works. This Nakshatra is good for undertaking the manufacture and making and selling of art works, manufacture and sale of tobacco items, crusher Industry-related machineries and spare parts, crackers and matches boxes, diesel and petrol Industry, electricity, cement, paints etc.

The Janmaksharas of the persons born in the Hubba (Purva) Nakshatra are - First phase – Mo; Second phase – Ta; Third phase – Ti; Fourth phase – Tu.

Nakshatras are wealthy stars. They can undertake business activities, money lending business etc. Mrigashira, Chitta, Dhanistha Nakshatras are welfare stars. They can undertake welfare activities and ambitious projects and works. Punarvasu, Vishakha, Purvashadha Nakshatras are achievement stars. They can undertake new enterprising works and new employments, contacts and communications with the big factories and companies and ambitious projects.

editorialLET US REMEMBER BAPUJI

THE FATHER OF OUR NATION Mahatma Gandhiji, the father

of our Nation is a great soul. A man is judged by his conduct and character and not merely by the opinion he holds or even the doctrine to which he devotes his life. So, the title ‘Mahatma’ rests on the greatness which Gandhi won by his lofty character and that’s our pride.

When Gandhiji led our freedom struggle during the twenties of the last century, political freedom took a new shape and acquired a new content. The essence of his teaching was fearlessness and truth and action allied to these, always keeping the welfare of the masses in view.

The British rule had created a terrible fearsomeness in our psyche. The fear of the army, the police, the wide-spread secret service, fear of the official class, fear of laws and of prison, fear of the landlord’s agent, fear of the money lender, fear of unemployment and starvation and in such a situation of all-pervading fear, Gandhiji gave a call to become fearless. This electrified the masses. Gandhiji influenced millions of people in India in varying degrees. Some changed the whole texture of their lives and carried on his message by becoming themselves the Gandhis. Gandhi brought about a complete change in the constitution of Indian National Congress. He made it more democratic and a mass organization.

Gandhi was an odd kind of pacifist, for he was an activist full of dynamic energy. He resisted all that was untrue or evil. He challenged and resisted the foreign rule through peaceful non-cooperation. He also fought our own social evils. National unity, solutions to the minority problems, raising of the depressed

classes and ending of the curse of untouchability were his major planks of action. He sent the volunteers to villages across the country and the rural parts were hummed with the activities of innumerable messengers of the new gospel of action. The peasants were shaken up and made to resist the British Raj openly. He emphasized that the means were more important and even if the end in view was right, the means could not be ignored. Every reform that he suggested, every advice that he gave to others, he applied to himself. He strove to restore the spiritual unity of the country. He fascinated the masses of India and attracted them like a magnet. He was a man of great vision and thus shook the very strong foundations of the British Empire and made the freedom movement stronger and intense day by day and finally made the British quit our country.

Gandhiji constantly subjected himself to rigorous self-examina-tion and became an almost perfect man. He was very modest. We look up to his conduct and character as that towards which we should constantly strive. Gandhi’s utter selflessness, his forgiveness, his courage, his piety are the models worthy of being emulated.

Gandhi attached great importance to personal hygiene and clean surroundings. He along with the volunteers set out to clean the dirty areas and set an example for us to follow him. So to pay our sincere homage to him, we should involve ourselves in the ‘Swachcha Bharat Abhiyan’. Our Pradhana Mantri Sree. Narendra Modiji has begun this Abhiyan anew and let’s all together make our India a clean, decent and prosperous country.

Readers’ ResponsesListen to me, please…………..!

My dear brothers and sisters of our Community,

Namaskaras At the outset, I congratulate the proprietors of THE SSK TIMES

for bringing out the monthly in English and paving the way for the integrity and unity of the SSK Samaj at the National level. Even in its just budding phase, it brings us the news of our brothers and sisters in the far corners of our country. Reading the news and events, knowing the programs and functions and acquainting ourselves with the achievers and accomplishers, we do become all the more humble and find inspiration in and through the achievements of the ambitious people.

We have but to give up our egotism and work hard and co-operate with our own chosen leaders in all the fields. Our collective work and co-ordinated efforts alone can help us to achieve excellence.

When I was very young, my friend used to ask me about the menace of dowry in our samaj and I used to say with pride that our community is free from the menace of the dowry. That is a matter of pride for all of us even today. But today’s considerations and expectations of our people relating to marriage are quite disturbing. Up to the eighties of the last century, education was of least priority for boys and girls but today education is given utmost importance and that again is quite heartening. The parents of the girls today expect that the prospective bride-grooms should be highly educated and should have good employment and should have no dependents on them and so on. This is not a good development.

My own husband has only passed 8th standard and I have passed a Diploma in Fashion Designing. But we are a happy couple. My husband has flourished in business and has tripped to eleven countries and has taken me to seven countries. So, I think that the criterion of selection of the bridegroom should be his abilities, his motivations, aptitudes and his attitudes and nature rather than his educational qualifications and employment. Compared to the girls, the boys in our community are lagging behind in education. This has been posing a threat to the careers of the younger generations. Our elders should think of overcoming these bogging problems in the years to come. Ours is a business community and our children should be taught to respect filial relationships and develop the spirit of collective living. Respect for elders can make a happy family. Inter-caste marriages should be discouraged, as such marriages will alienate us from our parents, relations and community people and make us unhappy.

I have said these things not to criticize any one in particular but because I have a dream about the growth and prosperity of our community

Thank You.Smt. Roopa K. Pawar Vice-President Aadarsha Mahila Mandal Ranebennur. st-Kar.

I have been a regular reader of the SSK Times. It covers a wide range of the news of the community far and near. Please see that the paper covers the news of all the States in India and of the news of the SSK people living in different countries. The community supports your enterprise. Kudos, Congratulations and Good Wishes for your excellent work.

SSK Times is good in appearance, quality and coverage of the news and the write-up. Your editorials are thoughtful. The history of SSK race is quite useful, informative and instructive. But how many common people read and be inspired?! Why shouldn’t you try to publish SSK Times in kannada also for the exclusive benefit of the kannadigas? I may sound queer, but try as you can do it.

SSK Times is no less impressive than other English papers. Good captions, wonderful news cast in good and easy language, good photographs and good finish. Your efforts are praiseworthy! You are doing a good service to the community. Thank you, keep it up!
