Sri Ganesar Court Hill Temple Pudu Kuala Lumpur

This holy site is considered one of the foremost Hindu temples in Malaysia. In 1897, an Indian gardener started a shrine for Lord Ganesha in an orchard of a British official's residence. Wagner Durai, as he was popularly known initially served in Malaya as a senior police official, and later as a lawyer. As the shrine started becoming more popular with its surrounding inhabitants, the Indian gardener decided to install a bell to announce auspicious timings. The sound emitting from the bell annoyed Wagner. He boldly informed his worker to remove the bells, or he would have to demolish the shrine. As soon as he had uttered this sentence, he had become paralysed. Soon after, the gardener had a dream in which Lord Ganesha instructed him to conduct a prayer for Wagner Durai and smear vibuthi (holy ash) onto Wagner's legs and hands. The gardener did as he was instructed, and Wagner soon recovered. Wagner subsequently started praying at this benevolent shrine and contributed towards the construction of the temple.

The temple is built on a sloping 'moona muchandi' (3 adjoining corners) thereby making it extremely powerful. Moreover this is the only temple in the world that conducts 'sankha puja' (conch shell puja) twice daily throughout the year. This propitious puja was initiated in the year 1939 at this temple. The twisting formation of a 'sankhu' enables tirtham (holy scented water) to flow spirally before bathing Lord Ganesha. As the 'tirtham' is infused with the chanting of Hindu mantras, together with the hydraulic push through the 'sankhu', this facilitates the potency of this ceremony. The conch-shell is said to be the abode of 'devas' (celestial beings). Therefore 'sankha puja' is considered most auspicious in Hindu rituals, and will promote the health, wealth and happiness of its participants. The glory of this temple is further enhanced by the gold 'garba graham' (entrance)at the main sanctum. Gold has the highest spiritual vibration according to Hindu scriptures, therefore this metal is used to channel 'shakti' (divine energy). The temple had acquired its name, Court Hill Ganesar as the previous high court was adjacent to the temple. Most lawyers who had represented clients at this court would pray at this temple for a favourable outcome. If the verdict was favourable, the lawyers would contribute towards the upkeep of the temple in gratitude. Also there is a 'vilvam' (bael) tree in the temple itself. The tree has been in the temple since inception and is also a focal point in the temple. Devotees who circumbulate the temple will stroke the bark of the tree, and then proceed to prostrate before Lord Ganesha.

Dhanishtha Nakshatra Through Puranic Story About 8 Eight Vasus

THE CURSE OF THE EIGHT VASUS AND STAR DHANISTHA. THE COLLECTIVE POWER,ATONEMENT,SACRIFICE AND SUFFERING.The eight vasus are the eight demi-gods Anala, Anila, Soma, Ahas, Dhara, Dhruva, Pratyoosha and Prabhasa. Together, they represent the very elements of the Mother Nature.Once, the wife of Prabhasa persuaded her husband to get her a cow which actually belonged to Rishi Vashisht. Prabhasa was initially reluctant to ask for anything from a Brahmin but disarmed by the usual weakness of a man towards his wife, he agreed to steal the cow for her. With the help of his seven brothers, the eight vasus purloined away Vashisht's cow for Prabhasa's wife. Rishi Vashisht, through his ascetic powers, figured out that the stealth was an act of the vasus. He cursed the eight vasus to be born on earth as mortals and suffer the pain like all mortals do.The eight vasus begged Rishi Vashisht for mercy, but as I mentioned here, a curse could not be taken back. It could, at best, be modified. Rishi Vashisht granted some relief to the seven vasus that their lifetime on earth would be short and after that they could ascend to paradise. But the eighth vasu, Prabhasa, who instigated the other seven to steal the cow out of his passion for his wife would suffer the pain of the account of all the seven vasus.HE WHO COMMITTED A CRIME OUT OF DESIRE FOR HIS WIFE WILL NEVER KNOW THE PLEASURE OF A WOMAN. EVEN WITHOUT A WIFE AND SONS, HE WILL SPEND HIS ENTIRE LIFE STRUGGLING TO SERVE HIS HOUSEHOLD. AND IN THE END HE WILL DIE AT THE HANDS OF A WOMAN, FOR HIS DESIRE FOR A WOMAN MADE HIM TURN VASUS INTO CRIMINALS.THIS EXPLAINS
DHANISTHA STAR IN GENERAL-MEANS A COLLECTIVE SACRIFICE OR PENANCE. DHANISHTA ALLOWS US TO BRING THE RESOURCES OF PEOPLE TOGETHER.DHANISHTA IS RULED BY THE VASUS, THE GODS OF ABUNDANCE. ITS POWER IS TO GIVE ABUNDANCE AND FAME (KHYAPAYITRI SHAKTI). ITS BASIS ABOVE IS BIRTH. ITS BASIS BELOW IS PROSPERITY. THESE THREE GIVE THE POWER TO BRING PEOPLE TOGETHER.Persons born under this star are hostile to women. Because they lack adequate sex power. If Saturn is the lord of the 7th house and also in this star-any other planet in the 7th house and associated with this star will also do-the native will be sexually weak. It has to be noted that Saturn himself is eunuch. The native of the Star seldom marries or marriage is difficult for him, if married conjugal relation is seldom happy.

The eight vasus then went to the Mother of all beings, Ganga to help them keep their stay on earth short. Ganga, who too was cursed by Brahma to suffer as a mortal on earth promised them that she would give them birth through her own womb and will drown them in the waters of Ganga to set them free from the curse the moment they would be born. Ganga drowned the seven vasus immediately on their birth, but Rishi Vashisht's curse came true when she was about to drown Prabhasa and she was stopped by Shantanu. It was Prabhasa who grew up as Devavrata, later to be known as Bheeshma for his terrible oath, the oath that will be the cause of all his suffering and also, in a way, the cause of the Kurukshetra war.
