I will a few examples of pledges later in the morning.
There is a temple called Sivapuri, in Sivaganggai District, about 40 km from Madurai. Its name is Thiru Thaan ThonRiisvaram. It is dedcated to the Siva of the same name. It is an ancient temple. It is actually a treasure house of rare historical information which is contained in itself and its inscriptions.
There are four inscriptions there which are noteworthy and one of them has often been quoted by historians.
The Empire of the Imperial Cholzas comprised of several kingdoms and many feudal lordships. In the north Pandya country there were several of such feudal lordships.
During Raja Raja Cholza's time, the Pandya country was almost entirely conquered. But the Pandyas were holding out in several places. Rajendra Cholza finally vanquished them and established Cholza rule directly. The Pandyan dynasty was abolished and in its place the Cholza princes were crowned as the Pandya kings. They took the name of the Pandyas for themselves. They were called Cholza-Pandyas. Rajendra Cholza took the extreme measure of Cholziyanisation of even the names - Pandyanadu became Rajaraja Pandi Mandalam, KeraLa Singga VaLa naadu became Rajendra Cholza VaLa naadu, Nirubha SEkhara ChathurvEdha Manggalam became Cholza MaarththaaNda ChathurvEdha Manggalam.
Throughout the rule of himself and his three sons and his grandson, this system was maintained, lasting for about 50 years. After that the Cholza lineage passed to the maternal grandson of Rajendra Cholza called Rajendra III or better known as KulOththungga I.
During the course of his rule, he relinquished direct control over several of the parts of Cholza Empire and gave greater autonomy to several other kingdoms. He also reestablished Pandya rule over Pandya country. In such places, he established military garrisons called 'padaiveedu's and 'nilaippuram's. His own officers and ministers were present everywhere overseeing everything. The Pandya king himself was advised by them. This system is known as a 'hegemone'.
In the midst of all this, four feudatories in North Pandya country made pacts and treaties of fealty among themselves.
They pledged that they would remain true and loyal to each other's lives, possessions, riches, and honour and uphold them. If they break the pledge would they incur the sin of slaughtering a cow on the bank of Ganggai and the sin of drinking liquor.
Chinna Marudhu Pandyan of Sivaganggai Seemai pade a proclamation in Thiruchi.
He proclaimed that anyone going against his proclamation would be equal to the hair on his private parts and also incur the sin eating cow's flesh and pork.
' They pledged that they would remain true and loyal to each other's lives, possessions, riches, and honour and uphold them. If they break the pledge would they incur the sin of slaughtering a cow on the bank of Ganggai and the sin of drinking liquor.'
Please read as:

'He proclaimed that anyone going against his proclamation would be equal to the hair on his private parts and also incur the sin eating cow's flesh and pork.'

What is a yanthra and how does it work?
Why would a person need a yanthra?
If a person has certain desires or needs which he cant overcome by his own human efforts, he would need to resort to metaphysical and paranormal means.
Manthra, Yanthra are all parts of the ways and means.
A person approaches another person who has mastered the arts of Manthra Saadhana. He states his problems.
The Sadhaka or practitioner works out the details of what yanthra is needed, if at all one is needed.
Then with proper rites, the specific yanthra is placed in aproper place and with due methods, the pujai or ritual is performed.
At the beginning a sankalpam is made wherein the reason for doing it is stated to gethr with full particulars of the person who needs it.
The 'manthra uru' is done with proper recitation of the manthra for a specific number of times.
At the end of the pujai, the 'phala' or fruits of the pujai are made over to yajamaan or the person in need.
Then the manthra impregnated yanthra is given to the person in need with the deity's blessings which are made over to the person.
The person gives the 'dhakshnai' gift or payment to the performer.
Due instruction as to where the yanthra must be kept, how it should be installed, what sort of initial pujai is needed, what sort of customary pujai is needed, whether some form of naivedhyam is needed, what flower, incence should be used.......
These have to be given.
This is a simplified version of the preparartion of a yanthra and how it is managed thereafter.
But this is how it should be done.

I play all the jazz and do acrobatics and all sorts of jugglery like a publicly performing 'lambaadi' in this thread.
Even if a small crowd comes to this place its because of all these 'lambaadi' antics.
In the middle of this humble 'domba kuuththu', somebody else comes and makes his advertisement.
How is this?

Adi Shankara is said to have installed a yanthra in Kamakshi Amman temple,Kanchipuram to calm down the anger of the Godess.
If it can calm down Godess anger,then it must be very powerful.
Regarding these ads,all pages in forumhub get those ads at the top. :)
Yanthras can be powerful. If done in the proper way.

But the ads are very selectively put.
This thread falls under religion.
So religion-based ads are put here.
I would'nt say that they are accidentally put here.
Nor are they random.
We dont find advertisements on muiscal CDs or real estate or matchmaking here.
Its all commercialised religion.
Well..........
Its all a matter of choices.
Dear JayBee,
Glad to have you back. Pls continue to enlighten us.
The ads are served by Google, we have no control. It looks for keywords on a page and shows a related ad (targetted advertising). Sorry if that's obstrusive. The Hub has grown quite a bit and needs ads like Google's for survival.
