Komuravelli Mallanna

 

komuravelli mallanna is a famous god in northern telangana. The main devotees for mallanna god is from golla and kapu caste. Mallanna is the incarnation of Lord Shiva. The god appears in terrified form with big mustache. Mallanna often refered as beerappa, but both are different.

God Mallanna (Malia Reddy) who was fabled to have originally been a Kapu by caste. It is believed that Mallanna was born out of Mali Chemata (the next sweat) of Lord Siva, tholichemata(first sweat) turned as Beerappa. Malia Reddy was the son of Neelamma and Adi Reddy, the ruler of Kolhapur.

i got the following information from some of the websites..........

Komuravelli 'Sri Mallikarjuna Swamy Devasthanam' is one of the prominent Siva temples in the northern Telangana region of Andhra Pradesh. It is next to Rajarajeshwara Swamy Temple-Vemulawada and Mukteshwara Swamy Temple-Kaaleshwaram in popularity. The pilgrims often refer to the god as 'Komaravelli Mallana'. The temple is located in a cave on the 'Indrakeeladri' hillock. The uniqueness of this temple is that the lord shiva appears here in 'vigraha rupam'(statue) other than the usual 'linga rupam'. The statue is believed be 500 years old and is made up of 'putta mannu'(Soil used in building ant hills) and still in tact.

It is believed that the lord has married 'Gollakethamma' from Yadava community and 'Medalamma' from the Linga Balija community and settled here. So, both the goddesses are equally worshiped here. As a sentiment, the people from both Yadava and Balija communities head all the important rituals.

This temple is dedicated to Lord Sri Mallikarjuna swamy a fierce looking diety along with Kethamma and Medalamma on the both sides of the main diety. The temple is located in a cave on a small hillock at a distance of 110 Kms from warangal. Lakhs of piligrims congregate on the eve of Makara Sankranthi as Brahmotsavam starts. The clay moulded diety of Lord Mallikarjuna swamy is believed to be made 500 years ago.

The temple is renovated and mandapamas and choultries etc., are constructed by Endowments Department. The 'pedda patnam' celebrated on Maha Sivaratri day attract pilgrims in lakhs. It is located at a distance of 85 kms from the state capital on Karimnagar - Hyderabad - Highway (Rajiv Rahadari). People also calls him as "Komuravelli Mallanna", this temple is one of the famous temple in Telangana Region.

In the temple of Mallikarjuna of Inavolu near Warangal, men belonging to the kurumas and Gallas participate in the festival of Mallikarjuna on the occasion of Sankranti day. Their Gods Beerappa and Mallanna were equated with lord Mallikarjuna of Sriparvata. Thus the pastoral and tribal community and panchamas were also integrated or sanskritised through the process of fa'irs and festivals.

komuravelli mallanna story- Marraige with medalamma

There is no written scriptures are available on komuravelli mallanna (often refered as komurelli mallanna or komrelli mallanna) but there are so many folk lore available on komuravelli mallanna adventures which are said to be “oggu kathalu” sung by “oggu singers” .
In one of the stories it is said that komuravelli mallanna brought pasupu(sacred turmeric) and kumkum from macca (muslims holy place).

The story as follows..……(based on a video song)….

When mallanna wanted to marry medalamma, her brothers puts a condition that mallanna should bring bandari (hard turmeric or roots of turmeric i.e.”pasupu kommulu” which are in the possession of haseen and hussain in macca masjid that time) .
In search of way for bandari komuravelli mallanna approaches God shiva. Lord shiva directs him to Lord Ganesha. Komuravelli mallanna goes to Ganesha and asks him about bandari, Lord Ganesha tells him that Mallanna’s sister “yellamma” knows the way to get it.
Then Komuravelli mallanna goes to yellamma and asks about bandari. Yellamma says that it is in macca. Mallanna prepares to go to macca but his sister “yellamma” warns him that macca is so far from here and men are very powerful there, it is impossible to beat them. They kept those things at a secret place that nobody knows it else them. Whoever went to there, they had not returned. Listening to this mallanna prays to gods, they gave him a flying horse. With that horse mallanna goes to macca. Before getting into makka he ties his horse outside the macca. He joins as gardener there and names himself  as malku malloji, he spends so many days there perhaps years. He gains their faith and muslims completely belives him. They tell him the identity of bandari. He goes to the place where it is, A five headed snake protects it. One day he took bandari and tries to run away, but muslims see him and tries to capture him. Mallanna escapes in disguise of a black dog though chased by the duo(haseen and hussain) till the banks of  rives Ganga. Goddess ganga looses her right hand when she confronted the duo and mallanna posts a stick as symbol of her hand and resolves to observe a ritual every year in the memory of goddess Ganga river. Then he returns to his hometown with the help of celestial horse. He gives some portion of bandari to yellamma and marries to medalamma.
As I know the ritual which is celebrated on Goddess ganga name is peerila festival. In some of stories, mallanna cuts one of duo hand in fighting and that hand five fingers stands for five peers in the yearly festival.

Krishna as christ

as i am interested in hinduism i am posting this.. read it very interesting

CHRISTMAS IS KRISHNA MAAS

1. Christmas or X-mas is nothing but continuation of Hindu tradition in a different form. Christmas literally means Krishna-Maas or month of Krishna.

2. The X in X-mas or ‘Dec’ in December refers to number 10. Because if we calculate as per Hindu Calendar which starts in March, December is the 10th month. As per English calendar, December is 12th month and hence number 10 in X or Dec does not make any sense.

December is root of Dashambar meaning tenth part of sky meaning tenth month of the year.

3. Bell, Book and Candle – the major symbols of Christmas are nothing but reminiscent of Hindu temple where bell is a must, book refers to holy book and candle is equivalent of Deepak or light of Yajna. Bell is derived from Sanskrit word “Bal” meaning strength. Bell is used in temples to provide strength to prayers.

4. 25th December is neither first day of the year, nor 25th December the date of Christ’s birth nor midnight the time of his birth, as admitted by Christian scholars themselves. Then why is Christmas celebrated on 25th December?

Because this was time of another famous festival Saturnalia festival which was part of traditions before Christianity was forced upon.

“The Plain Truth about Christmas” was published by a staunch Christian Organization named Worldwide Church of God. It admitted to these theories and appealed to Christians to stop following non-Christian traditions of Christmas.

5. The idols of Mother Mary with baby Christ are no different from those of Yashoda with Krishna. To an unbiased observer, there is no difference in Janamashtmi idols and Christmas depictions of Mother and Child. Even the story has surprising similarities. Jesus was gifted to Mary by God. And Krishna too was gifted by fate to Yashoda!

THE VATICAN PAPACY

1. Christianity is derived from Sanskrit term “Krishna Neeti” implying the way of life expounded by Kirishna.

2. Pope derives from “PaapaH” meaning remover of or absolver from Sin.

3. Vatican derives from “Vatika” which means a hermitage. In Vedic tradition, sages used to live in hermitages.

4. Etruscan Museum of Vatican displays several Shivalingas with cobra raising its hood over Shiva’s head.

5. Priest and Abbot derive from “Purohit” and “Bhat” respectively, both signifying Vedic priests.

6. Deity, devotee, divinity are all derivatives or equivalents of Sanskrit words such as diva, devata and devaniti.

7. Pontiff is a corruption of the Sanskrit term ‘puntah’.

8. The Pope was the Shankaracharya for the European region of world Hinudom until hisseat was pounced upon and was forced to turn Christian by emperor Constantine, around 312 AD

9. Saint obviously is offshoot of ‘Sant’. Apostle is Sanskrit ‘Aap-Sthal’ signifying one who proceeds from place to place (for preaching).

10. Several scholars, like H Spencer Lewis, have talked about hidden and secret records in Vatican. If there is indeed anything genuine about Jesus Christ, why it is being hidden?

11. Papacy originated around 4 AD while Jesus is supposed to have lived around 1 AD. If Jesus-time records are hidden in the Vatican, what was its role before 4 AD? Is it that these records are not being made public because they will expose that Christ was a myth and the roots of Christianity lie in Vedic institutions?

CHRISTIAN TRADITIONS

1. There are no records of Jesus founding Christianity as Jesus was a fictitious personality. The credit for spread of Christianity goes to St Paul and then to armed campaigns of Constantine emperor.

2. Bible is a hodgepodge of the Old Testament, the New Testament versions written by several persons like Matthew, Mark, Luke and John at different places and different times, the Apocryphs and even angry correspondence.

The original Bible is nowhere to be found (it does not exist in first place). What we have is haphazard translation from language to language at will by the translators or their mentors to suit their own convenience, convictions or predilections, from Aramaic to Greek, Greek to Latin, and thence into French, German, English etc. The word Aramaic is derived from ‘Arya’ in Sanskrit.

3. The introduction to the Holy Bible printed by Cambridge University Press admits that Latin translations of the Old Testament were too many to be all good. None were from original Hebrew but from Greek versions which were not clear. The Latin version derived from it was all “muddy”. Some believed that Lucian and Nesychius made false additions to Old Testament which were excluded by St Hirome and St Chrysostome.

All this points to a confession of Christian hanky-panky confusion. Who knows who introduced new matter or changed previous ones?

4. Still we find several Vedic names in Bible like Krishna as Christ, Hari as Henri and Harry, Keshava as Jehova, Hari-Kul-Ish a Hercules, Ganesh as Janus etc.

5. Chapter 3 of Exodus states that the angel told Moses to remove the shoes from the feet because he was standing on Holy ground. This proves that Vedic tradition of removing shoes in temples was prevalent.

And God said to Moses, “I am that..I am that”. This is nothing but “Aham Tat Sat”

6. Baptism is derivative of Sanskrit phrase “Baspit Sma” meaning “We have sprinkles holy water”. Young Jesus was baptized by John, the Baptist. Thus John was a professional Brahmin.

Lakshmi Narasimha swamy is an incarnation of Lord Vishnu. Devunipalli Narasimha Swamy said to be swayambhu here, means swamy has chosen this place to be his temple on his own. Swamy naamalu(symbol of Lord Narasimha) and foot prints emerged in the cave of the hill. The temple is said to be built by Jains. Unlike all other temples this temple faces to west where all Hindu temples faces to the east.

STORY:

There is no historic story i found clearly behind Devunipalli Narasimha Swamy, but as of my knowledge a priest in the village has discovered the cave. But there is an interesting story behind the temple which is built down of the hill. The temple is dedicated to Ugra Narasimha Swamy, which is fierce form of the lord Narasimha. Once a huge stone fell from the hill. Surprisingly the huge stone is stopped in a slope place, instead supposed be fall on near by houses. The rock broke into two pieces and swamy emerged from the stones. The next day swamy appeared in the dream of person in the village and asked him to build a temple for him where the stone fell. As far as i know, the person is from a low caste and an orphan, Brought up by the village people. He happend to go to town and become rich.

ROUTE:

From peddapalli railway station Share autos are available. You can take a bus which goes to godavarikhani from peddapalli and getdown at andugula palli stage. From there you can take a walk of 2km or simply find an auto.

Devunipalli is a peacefull village, situated so far from the main highway. I like it because it is my native place.
