As today is ruled by Moon, dies Luna, Soma Var........ On 10th, Moon came within the Kala Sarpa arc. Before that She was cancelling Kala Sarpa, being in the other 180 degrees arc. She will be within this arc till 26th. O Mother Divine, please save Kerala from the deleterious effects of Kala Sarpa ! This is one of the most famous temples in Ernakulam District. Legend has it that this was once a dense forest and a tribal called Kannappan used to live here. He was a devotee of the Mother Divine and he used to sacrifice an animal daily to the Goddess. He had a cute daughter who had a pet, a cow. Kannappan used to sacrifice cows also. One day Kannappan could not find an animal to sacrifice and he told his daughter that he is sacrificing her pet cow. She entreated him to sacrifice her instead of her beloved cow. Kannappan changed his mind. He was a reformed man later on. He repented for the animal sacrifices done by him. Repentance is to cease from sinning. He and the pet cow stayed near the Temple that night. Next day the cow had turned into stone and Kannppan knew that the cow was indeed the Mother Goddess ! That day the Lord Vishnu gave Kannappan a vision, forgiving his sins ! The Lord promised that he will abide in the temple forever and the concept of Lakshmi Narayana ( a combination of Purusha and Prakriti, the male and female components of the Ultimate ) came into being here !

After Ten years I played a maiden : Sehwag

Image
The formidable Slinga Malinga can be proud of a unique feat, apart from his five for 13. That is bowling a maiden over to the most destructive batsman in world cricket , Sehwag. Sehwag admitted that he had played a maiden over after ten long years ! "Yes, I think after 10 years I played a maiden today. It was a plan. We lost two wickets so I thought let me play Malinga because others may not be able to pick him. We have 10 debutants in Delhi squad and it will take a little time for us to come together." said the formidable Indian opener. It was unfortunate that his side, DDD, crashed to an eight wicket defeat to MI, spearheaded by the outstanding slinger. DD were 40 runs short and their inexperience did them in. "A 140-150 is a good total here, but everything went Mumbai's way." Sehwag was bullish about their excellent fielding and bowling and hope to improve in the coming matches. "We have a good bowling unit and fielding. I am the only one who have playe...

Indian bowlers strike !

Image
Great bowling by Ishant ( 3/29 ), P Kumar ( 3/38), Bajji ( 2/51) and Mishra (2/51) reduced the West Indies to 173, giving India a lead of 73 runs ! Gavaskar was right when he opined that Ishant has come back into form and will spearhead the Indian attack in the years to come. Temporarily he was off form, trying to bowl fast, with the result he lost his swing. Now his swing is going, he can swing the ball both ways and can bowl at 150 kph, as West Indies found to their discomfiture ! Look at his figures yesterday. 17-6-29-3 ! What a great spell of bowling and WI all out for 173 ! India are 91/3, with Dravid unconquered with 45 not out. The Indian lead at the moment in 164 and since this is a low scoring match, it seems to be Advantage India ! But one can never say, as an Indian collapse can bring the West Indies back into the game. WI made inroads into the Indian batting, as they captured three wickets, but Dravid, known as Mr Wall, stood his ground and saved the innings. Ravi Rampaul t...
