Sree Guruvayurappan Temple, Kolkata 🙏🕉️

Sree Guruvayurappan Temple holds a special place in my heart, as it was here in the divine presence of Lord Sree Guruvayurappan that my son’s Annaprashan ceremony was performed in 2006 🍚✨. The temple, located at 3/1/1A, Nakuleswar Bhattacharjee Lane, Kolkata - 700026, near the iconic Kalighat Kali Temple, is a serene spiritual haven 🌸. Established through the efforts of Thirunamacharyyan Br. Sree Anjam Madhavan Namboodiri 🙌, the temple’s foundation stone was laid by H.H. Kanchi Kamakoti Sri Jayendra Saraswathi Swamigal on January 17, 1987 🪔, and the Pratishta ceremony was conducted on January 31, 1995 🌿.

Marking a major milestone, the temple will host the Inauguration of its Renovated Wing and Punar Pratishta of Goddess Durga, coinciding with its 30th Pratishta Anniversary and the Maha Sahasra Kalasam, from 22nd to 29th January 2025. Highlights include:

Inauguration: 22nd January 2025, 5 PM to 8 PM

Punar Pratishta: 25th January 2025, 6:30 AM to 7 AM

Maha Sahasra Kalasam: 29th January 2025, from 7 AM onwards

Cultural Programs: Daily from 6 PM onwards 🎶

Dedicated to Lord Sree Guruvayurappan (Krishna) 🕊️, the temple also enshrines Lord Ganapathy, Lord Ayyappa, Goddess Bhagawathi, and Lord Hanuman 🙏. Reflecting traditional Kerala temple architecture 🌴, it serves as a vibrant hub for spiritual and cultural activities 💖.

I invite all to participate in these auspicious events, embracing the divine blessings and vibrant heritage of this temple 🌺.

"A Bronx Tale" is a compelling crime and coming-of-age drama directed by and starring Robert De Niro, released in 1993. The film is a powerful narrative set in the 1960s Bronx, New York, revolving around the life of a young Italian-American boy, Calogero Anello, who is torn between his admiration for a local mob boss, Sonny, and his hard-working, honest father, Lorenzo. The story kicks off when Calogero witnesses Sonny, the charismatic yet feared gangster, commit a murder. When the police arrive, Calogero chooses not to identify Sonny as the shooter, beginning a complex relationship between the boy and the mobster. Sonny takes Calogero under his wing, nicknaming him "C," and introduces him to the ways of organized crime. This mentorship provides Calogero with a seductive glimpse into a world of easy money and respect, contrasting sharply with his father's values of hard work and honesty. Lorenzo, portrayed by De Niro, is a bus driver who goes to grea...

In 1945, amidst the vibrant yet recovering streets of Paris, a French woman named Marie set off on a journey that would become a legendary tale among the locals. Armed with a baguette under her arm and a basket filled with six bottles of wine, she ventured through the post-war cityscape. Despite the city bearing the scars of conflict, Marie's resolve stood firm. The war had deeply affected Paris, yet the unbreakable spirit of its residents shone brightly.

Her small gestures of kindness reminded everyone that even in the darkest times, joy could be found in the simple things. Soon, tales of Marie's generosity with her bag...

Swadesamitran, a pioneering Tamil newspaper, was founded in 1882 by the visionary and social reformer G. Subramania Iyer, a man who dedicated his life to the ideals of nationalism, social justice, and progressivism. Born in Thanjavur in 1855, G. Subramania Iyer was not only a journalist but also an ardent supporter of India's freedom struggle and a firm believer in social reforms. He was the founder-editor of The Hindu newspaper as well, before parting ways with it to focus entirely on Swadesamitran. Through his journalistic endeavors, Iyer wielded the pen as a weapon against injustice and colonial oppression, setting an exemplary standard of fearless, ethical journalism. G. Subramania Iyer’s deep involvement in the Indian independence movement was evident through his editorials in Swadesamitran, which often critiqued British colonial rule and highlighted the importance of Swaraj (self-rule). His writings inspired a sense of political...
