Amaravathi (అమరావతి) is a small town situated on the banks of the River Krishna in the Guntur District of Andhra Pradesh, India. It is famous for its Amareswara temple dedicated to Lord Shiva. The temple is one of the famous Pancharamas. Amaravati, also known as Dhanyakataka/Dharanikota was the site of a great Buddhist Stupa built in pre-Mauryan times. It was also the capital of Satavahanas, the first great Andhra kings who ruled from the 2nd century BCE to the 3rd century CE, after the downfall of Maurya empire.




Amaravati Amareswara (Shiva)Temple


The Skanda Purana gives a picture of the place and the Siva temple located here. Sage Narada explains to Sounaka and other saints that Amareswara is situated in Amareswaram on the bank of river Krishna and is on the southeastern side of the Srisailam temple.

History Of Amaravathi :


According to Vajrayana traditional sources the Buddha preached at Dharanikota/Dhanyakatakam and conducted Kalachakra ceremony, which would take the antiquity of Amaravati back to 500 BCE. Taranatha, the Buddhist monk writes: "On the full moon of the month Caitra in the year following his enlightenment, at the great stupa of Dhanyakataka, Buddha emanated the mandala of "The Glorious Lunar Mansions" (Kalachakra). This shows that Dhanyakatakam (Amaravati) was a very important place at the time of composition of this tantra. The recorded history of Amaravati and nearby Dharanikota dates from 2nd century BCE.It was the capital of Andhra Satavahanas who ruled from 2nd century BCE to 3rd century CE. After the decline of Satavahanas, Andhra Ikshvakus and later Pallava kings ruled Krishna river valley. Subsequently, Eastern Chalukyas and Telugu Cholas held sway over the region. Kota Kings were in control of Amaravati during the medieval times. Kota kings were subdued by Kakatiyas in 11th century CE and Amaravati became part of the unified Telugu empire.

This is a preamble to the religious significance of this ancient temple. According to local traditions Sri Veereswara Swamy, after destroying the Yagna being performed by Daksha Prajapati and thereafter slaying him, flung his bloody weapon patta (a metallic sword) into the river Godavari which fell at this point and immediately took the shape of a linga. The Linga which self manifested itself, at this point is known as Pattiseema. There are no writings about the early history about this hill temple.

During the three or four centuries following the 12th century there existed a great Shiava Mutt this hillock on which the temple was built and maintained presumably by the kings of the Reddy dynasty of Raja-mahendra-varman, presently known as Rajahmundry twenty miles down stream from Pattiseema.

In the bed of the river Godavari on the hillock at Pattiseema, there are two hillocks lying apart in opposite direction to one and other and separated by a distance of approximately three miles. This hillock north of Pattisema is known as Maha-nandi-swaram, and the one on the south is the celebrated Pattiseema. On the hillock at Pattiseema there are two groups of temples, one headed by Sri Veera-swara-swamy and the other a Vaishnavite temple a leading shrine of Sri Bhava-narayan-swamy. In the first group the main shrine is Sri Veera-bhadra-swamy. It has sub temples of Parivara Devathas, the Deity is huge Siva linga of Sri Veera-bhadra-swamy. This is in accordance with the tradition that Lord Shiva himself took the form of Sri Veera-bhadra-swamy to destroy Daksha. The sub deities are Bhadra Kali, Sri Kanakadurga, Lakshmi-ganapathi, Kumara-swamy, Subramanian-swamy, Mahi-sha-sura-mardhini ,Tandava Vera-bhadra-swamy and Saraswati.

With the gradual decline of the Reddy dynasty due to disputes with the British Rulers, sold their kingdom in bits. The Kotcherlakotas who were the celebrated Rajgurus of the Reddy Rajas purchased a portion of the Reddy kingdom in the year 1814. The Rajgurus purchased the Polavaram Estate comprising 6,400 villages extending from Gutala to Konda-modalu on either side of the river Godavari, twenty miles upstream. In the year 1825-26 Sri Rajah Kotcherlakota Jaggaihgaru donated extensive lands (Approximately 1900 Acres) for performing Nitya Dhoopa, Deepa Naivaijam, Kalyanam and Utsavas for the Deity and also maintenance of the Temple. The descendants of Sri Raja Jaggaiah of Polavaram continue to be the hereditary trustees of this temple( KOTCHERLAKOTA RAMCHANDRA VENKATA KRISHNA RAO ).

The main festival of Lord Shiva is Mahasivaratri which is celebrated with religious fervor, pomp and gaiety. On this day approximately a Lakh (100,000) of pilgrims visit this temple. The other important festivals are the Kalyanam of the Lord on Bheeshma Akadashi and Karteeka Masam.

The significance of this temple is that it is considered as Dakshina Kashi and Patiseema Temples is one of the Pancha Kshetras. The other four being Kedarnath, Kashi, Kalahasti and Srisailam. This temple presently is controlled by the Endowments department and is under the Jurisdiction of the Endowments Ministry excepting the Tirumala Tirupati Devasthanams, which is regulated by a separate enactment.

In the second group there are three temples on the northern extreme of the hillock. They are Sri Bhava-naraya-swamy, which is as old as the Siva temple. Subsequently the Zamindar of Gutala, in the year 1912 constructed Sri Sita-rama-swamy temple. The third is an Anjeneya-swamy temple constructed subsequently.

Legendary Aspect Of Pattiseema Sri Veereswara Swamy Temple :


The legendary significance of Pattiseema according to the Epics is that this temple which is located in the middle of river Godavari is considered as one of the Pancha Kshetras. Those who visit this temple need not visit the other four temples. In Skanda-puranam, Pattiseema is considered as Kailsam or Vaikuntham. This hillock is surrounded by Papi hills and abounds in natural beauty and situated in the middle of the river Godavari it is also called as Deva-kuta-dri.

In the Puranams it is stated that the mountains had wings and could fly all over the universe. Whenever they felt tired they used to descend on the earth which caused a lot of damage to life and property. Lord Indira saw the suffering caused by these mountains and chopped off their wings, resulting in the mountains settling where they landed. Thus their mobility was stopped. These mountains were called Deva-*****-dri hill or Neela-dri hills. Deva-kuta-dri is son of Karaveera, once the king of mountains He attended the meeting of these mountains in Kailasam. In the meeting that was held Kailas-natha did not give due respect to Deva-kuta-dri. He felt insulted and left Kailash-parvatam with avow to seek revenge and went into the forest to offer prayers to Lord Shiva. Lord Shiva appeared before him and asked him what he wanted? Deva-kuta requested that Lord Shiva should adorn his crown and be with him on his mountain, to which Lord Shiva blessed him. Since then this mountain is being called Deva-kuta-dri.

Daksha-prajapati’s daughter Sati-devi was married to Lord Shiva. All the mountains including Deva-***** along with other gods decided to attend the marriage. Deva-***** felt as Lord Shiva was on his mountain he considered himself supreme of all the mountains. Daksha therefore decided to perform a Yagna in the name of Bruhas-pati, and invited all the mountains excepting Kailasa Mountain. Satidevi daughter of Daksha-praja-pati though not invited to the Yagna expressed her desire to attend the Yagna. Lord Shiva cautioned his wife that Daksha was performing this Yagna to take revenge on him and therefore advised that they should not attend. However she insisted on attending the Yagna alone, to which Lord Shiva agreed to her entreaties. Satidevi went to her fathers place, though Daksha-praja-pati saw her, he did not receive her and also did not treat her with due respect. He also started abusing Lord Shiva. Satidevi felt insulted and unable to bear the insult decided not to return to her husbands place. Instead she cut her last finger of her left foot and rubbed it on the earth and created a fire and jumped into it. She was consumed by the fire.

Lord Shiva, who was observing all this, became furious with rage. He plucked a shred of his long unbraided hair, struck it on the ground and created Lord Veerabhadra to avenge himself. Lord Veera-bhadra enquired with his father, why he was created? Lord Shiva who by now was trembling with anger gave his son a metallic weapon called Patta-yudha (a sword like weapon) and ordered him to destroy the Yagna being performed by Daksha and also slay him. Lord Veera-bhadra set on his mission to destroy the Yagna and also slay Daksha. After completing his mission he devourered the Vishnu Chakra of Maha-vishnu. He also broke the teeth of Sun God, both of whom tried to prevent Lord Veera-bhadra from slaying Daksha.

All the other Gods who were witnessing the entire scene prayed to Lord Shiva to restore the Pasupu-Kum-kum of Satidevi. Lord Veera-bhadra took pity on her. He then cut the neck of a goat and planted it on the shoulders of the slain body of Daksha and infused life in him. He then ordered Daksha to continue to perform and complete the Yagna, so that Daksha could attain Moksha. The weapon with which Daksha was slain fell on the earth. This place where it fell was called Patta-chalk-shetra now being popularly called Pattiseema. Lord Veera-bhadra was still not satisfied and continued with his Pralaya Tandavam, the entire universe was trembling under his feet. Out of these tremors Goddess Maha-kali was born. All the deities who were witnessing the whole scene appealed to Agastya Mahamuni to pacify Lord Veera-bhadra and calm him.

Agastya Mahamuni in deference to the wishes of all the Gods approached Lord Veer-bhadra and embraced him with both his hands. He also prayed to Lord Veer-bhadra to settle down on the hillock of Deva-***** Parvattam. According Lord Veerabhadra agreed and settled down on the hillock in the form of a Siva-linga (self manifest or Swyambu). Agastya Mahamuni also collected the unbraided long hair and tied it into a knot on the forehead of Lord Veera-bhadra now in the form of a Linga.

Thus this hillock received its importance among all other Temples.

Note: This is a translation from the Sthala-puranam written in Telugu by the Senior Archika of Sree Veer-eswara-swamy Temple, with regards to the legendary and historical background.

Sri Veera-bhadra Swamy Temple, which is picturesquely located on a hill known as Deva-kuta Parvatha in the middle of the Godavari river. Considered to be one of the Pancha-kasi Kshetrams of the Shivaites, the temple has a beautiful Nandi Vigraha. Carved images of dancing people adorn the walls while an awe-inspiring life size sculpture of Devi Bhadra-kali with lot of ornaments and a sword, catches the eye. A temple dedicated to Sri Bhava-narayalla Swamy can also be visited.

The Sri Veereswara Swamy Temple is very ancient and undergone some moderation in the recent past. Veera-bhadra swamy the deity of this temple is very powerful and gift giving God.

"A leader takes people where they want to go. A great leader takes people where they don't necessarily want to go, but ought to be." Rosalynn Carter

Today, we need great leaders in this country who can put country infront of the party and future of the state and country infront of the next election. The never ending Telangana movement reminds me of 2 things. A hollywood movie called 'Groundhog day' where the hero wakes up and has the exact same day every day, and second a health condition that is ignored will naturally becomes complicated.

One thing I break my head each day, about the notion by the government, political pundits that consensus required in the political parties. I don't get this, Political parties are expected be protect their political interests and prospects in every move, because of the central government's botched up announcement in Dec 2009, the people in both regions of AP are driven to extreme positions. How do you ever get to a consensus with this within the major political parties across regions?

That is where the central govt needs to act responsibly. They need to put the politics out of this and take a decision that will protect the long term interests of the people and the state.


Also, lets take a step back. I will try to stay away from the merits of the and justifications of the demand, but this makes me wonder about the following things

1. Role of central government: What a shame? How did they let things go so bad? In the world's largest democracy, we have seen how bad the communication has been. Regardless of the political posturing, shouldn't the government have a criteria for making these decisions? Why can't they clearly communicate and forward the information to people? What we have is a vaccum of leadership and common sense.. and we let this issue become so ugly. Government needs to launch a massive communication campaign, engage people to discuss their worries on both sides, show some leadership to build some level of consensus with adequate protections to the 'people' regardless of the decision.

2. The change (you can expect or not): This is the most troubling thing to me. If there is injustice done to a region(Telangana) in the last 50 years, how does this change with a new state?
If you have the same political leaders, same governmnet(democratic and constitutional) institutions.. what will change for the common man? The same leaders who are leading this fight.. what were they doing for last 30 to 40 years? They were enjoying the power, they reaped all the benefits of power..., where were the instances they fought against the injustice, issue by issue? What will change with the same leaders and same system?


3. Strike .. against whom?: Everyone must respect the general sentiment of the people, the constitutional right to express their dissatisfaction. However .. why should the strike include critical items like education, health and power? which affects the common man.
Regardless of where this happens, my opinion is .. the common man must be protected for health, public transport agriculture etc.. All the common people do not have a car to go around even when public transport is shutdown.. unfortunately.. illness does not go on strike.. farmer's crops need some water for survival..let's not punish the weakest of the weak

4. Need for reform in the system / people : Whether state gets separated or not, nothing will change unless people wake up and start being honest with themselves. Imagine if the same passion and energy in the state around this issue can be applied to every problem, injustice etc.. would there be a need for these movements? Would we celebrate the so called leaders who looted the state (YSR's admin who looted land, water, mines.. you name it) in the last 6 to 7 years under the disguise of welfare schemes? As long as people are prejudiced and not rational.. nothing will change for the common man..regardless of the outcome of the state separation.

Finally, if you want to leave a better tomorrow for the people of this state and the next generation, please find the courage and honesty to question the injustice around you, courage that put this country ahead of politics, common sense infront of rhetoric. Let's hope we can all find that, regardless of the outcome of the state's separation debate.


Winston Churchill said "Courage is rightly esteemed the first of human qualities... because it is the quality which guarantees all others."

Jai Kisan!! Jaihind!!

YSR Congress affair official agent Ambati Rambabu on Wednesday accepted that Pradesh Congress Committee admiral Botsa Satyanarayana affectation his “magathanam.” Wait, we could not get a more good chat to explain it in English (manliness or manhood?).

But that is what Ambati had acclimated to appeal that Botsa should appearance his “courage” by accepting the resignations of the Congress MLAs, who had abdicate the affair in abutment of YS Jaganmohan Reddy. He was reacting to a agnate animadversion fabricated by Botsa, who said during his contempo Anantapur bout that Jagan should prove his candor by adverse the CBI probe, if he had “magathanam.”

Ambati said the PCC admiral had lacked audacity to acquire the resignations of the accommodated MLAs. In the aftermost few months, as abounding as 79 Congress MLAs had accommodated from their accumulation associates for assorted reasons. Why the Congress affair was not insisting on accepting of their resignations, he asked.
