Hi! My name is Jahnava Nitai Das (Julian Parker) and this is my personal wesbite to document some of my experiences (since 1993) meeting sadhus and babas in India, as well as visits to ancient temples and places of pilgrimage. If you are interested in these topics, then why not come along? Send me a message using the contact form and I will let you know in advance where we will be travelling so you can join us on these spiritual adventures.
...Thank you for visiting.
A mahatma named Chaitanya Baba who lived in the forests of Odisha entered maha samadhi recently just after Makara Sankranti. This short video shows the placing of his body in the ground and burial. For many years he had been staying in the forests of Ratna Giri mountain.
The hidden purpose of Jallikattu protests is to trick hindus to hate cows that are not belonging to native breed, and thereby allow exporting of cow beef without objection from Hindus. This is why the protests have been supported by so many Christian and Muslim organizations.
Arguing that jallikattu will save the bulls is like arguing that having circus elephants will save elephants. There is no logical connection with the conclusion.
On Friday, the Central government approved a draft Ordinance by the state government to make an exception for bulls in the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals Act. The people are too foolish to see who is actually behind this. While putting on a show of supporting traditional culture, they are removing the bull from the list of animals protected by law. It is now legal to engage in cruelty to bulls as they don’t fall under this law.
Last year we mentioned our desire to build rooms for elderly sadhus who had been staying for decades in the forests around the Bhola Giri mountain range in Odisha. We would like to give you an update on this project. With your assistance we have been able to help elderly sadhus staying at three ashrams in the jungles around this sacred mountain.
Some pictures of Santosh Baba’s recent visit to Sri Panchamukha Anjaneyar Temple in Taramani, Chennai. Baba gave some spiritual instructions to all of the devotees attending the evening bhajanai and puja.
Last month a new bull calf was born at our ashram’s goshala in Orissa. Since he was completely white and born one day after Balarama Jayanti, we named him as Baladeva. This video has some clips of the first 20 days of his life.
The entire modern society is a giant scam to enslave the population.
Veeratteswarar Temple at Tirukoilur is one of the eight Veeratta Sthalas, where Lord Shiva destroyed asuras. In this particular place Lord Shiva killed Andhakasura.
