Remembering Achala Sachdev, Hindi cinema’s one of the most respected screen mothers, on her birth anniversary today (03/05/1920).

Achala was born in Peshawar in 1920. She started her acting journey with a movie called "Fashionable Wife" in 1938. Later, she moved to Pune after marrying Clifford Douglas Peters, who owned a factory in Bhosari.

Her career in the Hindi film industry began early, and she also worked with All India Radio starting from the 1940s. Throughout the 1950s, she appeared in many Hindi films, gaining fame for playing maternal roles. One of her most famous roles was as Balraj Sahni’s wife in the hit movie "Waqt" from 1965, where she was part of the iconic song “Ae Meri Zohra Jabeen”. Many fans started calling her Zohra Jabeen after that.

She acted in several memorable films, including "Azaad", "Arzoo", "Amanat", "Waqt", "Mera Naam Joker", "Julie", "Karm", "Haqeeqat", "Himalay Ki God Mein", "Hum Panchhi Ek Daal Ke", "Prem Pujari", "Hare Rama Hare Krishna", "Chandni", "Dilwale Dulhania Le Jayenge", "Kabhi Kushi Kabhe Gham", and "Kal Ho Naa Ho". Additionally, she appeared in English movies like "Nine Hours to Rama" and the Merchant Ivory film "The Householder".

Achala Sachdev passed away in Pune on April 30, 2012, due to respiratory failure.

Śrī Aruṇācala Navamaṇimālai - The Necklace of Nine Gems for Arunachala,  Verse 1

🕉️ 

 acalaṉē yāyiṉu maccavai taṉṉi lacalaiyā mammaiyedi rāḍu — macala vuruvilac catti yoḍuṅgiḍa vōṅgu maruṇā calameṉ ḏṟaṟi.

Padacchēdam (words rearranged in natural prose order): acalaṉē āyiṉum, a-c-savai taṉṉil acalai ām ammai edir āḍum. acala uruvil a-c-satti oḍuṅgiḍa, ōṅgum aruṇācalam eṉḏṟu aṟi.

English translation:

Though actually one who is motionless, in that assembly hall he dances opposite mother, who is acalā. Know that when that śakti subsides back in the motionless form, Aruṇācalam is exalted.

Explanatory paraphrase:

Though [Lord Siva is] actually acalaṉ [one who is motionless, being the one immutable ground from which and in which everything else appears], in that assembly hall [of Cidambaram] he dances [in the form of Nataraja] opposite [the divine] mother, who is acalā [the consort of acalaṉ]. Know that when that śakti [the divine mother] subsides back in the motionless form [the fundamental form of Lord Siva], Aruṇācalam is exalted [that is, in the motionless form of Aruṇācalam, which rises high above all his other forms, Lord Siva shines exalted in his natural state].

Note : 

The word Achalan means the motionless one and is a name of Lord Siva which is used to denote the fact that He is the immutable, Supreme Reality. The word Achalai means the consort of Achalan and is a name of Sakti, the Divine Mother.

Though He is motionless by nature, in Chidambaram Lord Siva had to dance in front of Sakti in order to bring Her frenzied dance to an end. But in the form of Arunachala Lord Siva remains ever motionless, and thus by the power of His mere stillness Sakti was irresistably attracted to Him and with great love she subsided in Him and became one with Him. Hence of all the forms of Lord Siva, Arunachala shines as the most exalted.

The words ‘ongum Arunachalam’ means ‘rises high’ or rises above others, and hence the words ‘ongum Arunachalam endru ari’ (know that He shines exalted as Arunachala) may also be taken to mean, know that Arunachala is superior (to Chidambaram)!

[la-scigghiu]

Aspettare, aspettarti. Ma un solo presente presuppone l’attesa: tu. Se non ci sarai all’altro capo, è al nulla che il mio animo si rivolge. E allora tutto è vano, io stesso non ho ragione e i miei pensieri mancano di significato e il mondo non esiste, crollano le persone, si dissolvono le città come nuvole e vapore, muore il sole, vive l’ombra, tutto è spento, dormono le ali, cessano di vibrare, perchè soltanto attenderti tiene sveglia la mia vita Allora, aspetto.

🐚 अपरा एकादशी व्रत कथा - Apara Ekadashi Vrat Katha

धर्मराज युधिष्ठिर भगवान श्री कृष्ण से कहते हैं: हे भगवन्! आपने वैशाख मास के कृष्ण शुक्ल की एकादशी अर्थात मोहिनी एकादशी के बारे मे विस्तार पूर्वक बतलाया। अब आप कृपा करके ज्येष्ठ कृष्ण एकादशी का क्या नाम है? तथा उसकी कथा क्या है? इस व्रत की क्या विधि है, कृपा कर यह सब विस्तारपूर्वक कहिए।

भगवान श्रीकृष्ण कहने लगे: हे राजन! ज्येष्ठ मास के कृष्ण पक्ष की एकादशी को अचला एकादशी तथा अपरा एकादशी दोनो ही नामों से जाना जाता है। क्योंकि यह अपार धन देने वाली है। जो मनुष्य इस व्रत को करते हैं, वे संसार में प्रसिद्ध हो जाते हैं।..

[thebeautifulbook]

Pair of book covers with Buddhist deities. (Tibet, c. late 11th century).

The upper cover shows the most important Mahayana Buddhist deities: at center is the Buddha attaining enlightenment; at his right are the bodhisattvas Manjushri and Vajrapani; at his left sit Shadakshari Lokeshvara and Tara. Together, these deities represent enlightenment, compassion, correct method and practice; and protection from worldly harm. The lower cover, in contrast illustrates fierce protective deities flanking a central bodhisattva: Achala and Marichi at his right, and Mahapratisara and Mahakala on his left. Although these deities from the esoteric Vajrayana tradition appear in northern Indian sculptures and manuscript illustrations, only in Tibet are they grouped in a set as here.

In the collection of the Metropolitan Museum of Art.

Unknown, Vajravarahi Vajrayogini, circa 1100, with two teachers above and four deities below.

At the top of the composition are two figures of teachers. On the left side, wearing a yellow hat, is very likely to be Atisha. The figure on the right is quite possibly Dromton.[77] Vajravarahi (Bari Gyatsa): "Vajravarahi, with a body red in colour, one face and two hands. The right [hand] holds, in a manner held aloft, a vajra curved knife. The left holds to the heart a blood filled skullcup and carrying a katvanga [in the bend of] the elbow. Having three eyes and bared fangs. Having a crown of five dry human skulls and a necklace of fifty fresh. Adorned with a garland of flowers. Wearing a lower garment of tiger skin. Standing in a dancing manner with the left leg extended in a half [vajrasana] posture." (Konchog Lhundrub).At the bottom left side is Simhanada Lokeshvara, white in colour, without ornaments. To the right side is Shakyamuni Buddha. On the bottom right side is Krodha Achala, wrathful in appearance, blue in colour, standing in an aggressive posture. To the left side is Chaturbhuja Lokeshvara with one face and four arms."... a lion with the head looking to the right. Above that is a moon disc ... the Lord of the World, Simhanada, with a body white in colour, having one face and two hands, three eyes, with the hair bound in a topknot. The right hand is extended above the knee in the refuge giving gesture and the left placed firmly on the seat behind the back. Having the appearance of an ascetic, seated in the lalitaraja posture. On the right side is a white snake coiled around an upright trident and on the left side, above a lotus stem is a skullcup filled with various fragrant flowers and adorned with a flaming sword." (From an edited version of the Bari Gyatsa by Ngorchen Konchog Lhundrub (1497-1557). GTKT, vol.12, folio 258. -Jeff Watt, October 1984. Vancouver, Canada).

Sri Ramanasramam - Templo Matrubhuteswara - O Senhor Shiva dança na forma de Nataraja, em frente da Mãe Divina, Shakti Devi.

Arudra Darshanam é o festival que celebra a manifestação do Senhor Shiva como Nataraja, o Senhor da Dança Cósmica. É comemorado na noite de lua cheia do mês Margazhi do Calendário Tâmil, no dia em que coincidem a Lua Nova e a estrela Arudra -thiruvadhirai nakshathram- ou estrela do Senhor Shiva (Rudra). No Sri Ramanasramam, também é comemorado em grande estilo. Cerca das 4H00 de 6 de Janeiro de 2023, a imagem devovional de Nataraja no templo de Mathrubutheswara foi ungida e decorada com flores. Seguiu-se o canto de versos em louvor a Nataraja e o Aarthi...

SRI ARUNACHALA NAVAMANIMALAI - O COLAR DE NOVE GEMAS PRECIOSAS PARA ARUNACHALA, VERSÍCULO 1

acalaṉē yāyiṉu maccavai taṉṉi lacalaiyā mammaiyedi rāḍu — macala vuruvilac catti yoḍuṅgiḍa vōṅgu maruṇā calameṉ ḏṟaṟi.

Padacchēdam (separação das palavras): acalaṉē āyiṉum, a-c-savai taṉṉil acalai ām ammai edir āḍum. acala uruvil a-c-satti oḍuṅgiḍa, ōṅgum aruṇācalam eṉḏṟu aṟi.

Embora na verdade um que está imóvel, naquele salão de assembleia ele dança em frente da mãe, que é acalā. Saiba que quando essa śakti volta à forma imóvel, Aruṇācalam é exaltada.

Paráfrase explicativa:

Embora [o Senhor Shiva seja] na verdade acalaṉ [aquele que está imóvel, sendo o único fundamento imutável do qual e no qual tudo o mais aparece], naquele salão de assembleia de Chidambaram ele dança na forma de Nataraja em frente da divina mãe, que é acalā [a consorte de acalaṉ]. Saiba que quando essa śakti [a mãe divina] desaparece na forma imóvel [a forma fundamental do Senhor Shiva], Aruṇācalam é glorificada [isto é, na forma imóvel de Aruṇācalam, que se eleva acima de todas as suas outras formas, o Senhor Shiva brilha glorificado em seu estado natural].

Nota:

A palavra Achalan significa o imóvel e é um nome do Senhor Siva, que é usado para denotar o facto de que Ele é a imutável Realidade Suprema. A palavra Achala significa a consorte de Achalan e é um nome de Shakti, a Mãe Divina. Embora Ele seja imóvel por natureza, em Chidambaram o Senhor Shiva teve que dançar na frente de Shakti para trazer a dança frenética de Shakti a um fim. Mas, na forma de Arunachala, o Senhor Shiva permanece sempre imóvel, e assim pelo poder da Sua mera quietude, Shakti foi irresistivelmente atraída por Ele e com muito amor ela se acalmou Nele e se tornou um com ele. Assim, de todas as formas do Senhor Shiva, Arunachala brilha como a mais gloriosa.

As palavras ongum Arunachalam significam ‘eleva-se alto’ ou eleva-se acima dos outros, e, portanto, as palavras ongum Arunachalam endru ari (saiba que Ele brilha glorificado como Arunachala) também podem significar, saiba que Arunachala é superior (a Chidambaram)!
