This sweet pudding made of rice and milk has an interesting mythological legend behind it. It is believed that Guruvayoorappan reaches here daily at the time of Palpayasa Neivedyam to have it.

The king being a chess enthusiast himself gladly accepted the invitation. The prize had to be decided before the game and the king asked the sage to choose his prize in case he won.

MIRACULOUS LIGHT BEAM (VILAKKU MAADAM OR VILAKKU KALLU) IN KARUMADI TEMPLE A stone light beam (vilakku madam or vilakku kallu) in front of Karumadi Kamapuram  Sree Sankara Narayana Temple. Two temples are there i.e. Kavil and Kamapurathu Kavu Temple. Both are one of the oldest temples in Kerala, believed to be made by the pandavas. The Idol in Kamapurathu Kavu is bigger in size and a rare combination of Shaiva and Vaishnava Bhavas together.  Most important and suprising thing is the movement of the miraculous Stone light beam (vilakku madam) , which was fixed straight in front of the temple and idol is seems to have been moving to the southern side day by day. No reasonable scientific reason found yet for an explanation and still a miracle, which is visible to the devotees.

ASTROLOGICAL PREDICTIONS Courtesy: Google The exact time when the Sun moves from one sign to the next is known as a cusp or beginning of the sign. Because the movement of the Earth around the Sun is not exactly regular each year, the precise date when the Sun moves from one sign to the next differs.  The future cannot be predicted. Astrologers read trends by comparing a birth chart with the day-to-day movements of the Moon and the small planets (Mercury, Venus, Mars) and the longer -term movements of the larger planets (Jupiter, Saturn, Neptune, Uranus, Pluto). In general, astrological interpretations are descriptions of how a person may behave rather than what he or she might actually do. Every characteristic has its positive and negative sides, the interpretation of which is a matter for personal choice; for example, one Taurean characteristic is never to change without very good reason. This could be interpreted either as undying loyalty or as stubborn resistance. 

FIND YOUR SUN SIGN The approximate dates of when the Sun moves into each sign are listed below. They will be correct for most years, but incorrect for others. For example, if your birthday is 22 July, some lists will say your sun sign is Cancer, as shown below; others will say Leo.

PERSONAL BIRTH CHART AND SIMPLE BIRTH CHART A PERSONAL BIRTH CHART When studying synchronicity between personality and the stars, a complete horoscope or birth chart must be made. This shows the positions of the Sun, Moon and planets at the time of birth, relative to the place of birth. The birth chart indicates many features, only one of which is the position of the sun at birth.  A SIMPLE BIRTH CHART The symbols on the chart are the standard ones used to indicate the zodiac signs, the Sun, Moon and planets. See the chart shown below; (its only a symbolic birth chart, may not be proper) It's for a person born on 25 May 1931, therefore the Sun is in the zodiac sign of Gemini. The position of the Moon at birth, the positions of all the eight planets of the solar system and several other important features, such as geographical location, are all taken into account when interpreting the chart.  In other case, a person who had been born on same day, in a different year and locatio...

WHAT IS ASTROLOGY? Courtesy: Google Astrology is a study of apparent coincidences between certain events on Earth and the positions of the Sun, Moon and eight planets. In traditional terms, the Sun, Moon and planets ('the stars') are said to influence events on Earth.  The modern view, first suggested by the psychologist Carl Gustav Jung, is that events coincide with a particular pattern of the stars. This phenomenon is known as synchronicity. 

ZODIAC SIGNS  Courtesy\: Google The popular view is that a person will  display the characteristics associated with his or her sun sign. For example, characteristics typical of Capricorn include ambition, faithfulness, weak knee joints and a long lifespan.  In reality, however, many people born with the Sun in Capricorn may well have little ambition, be unfaithful, have perfect knees or many have died young. 

WHAT IS A SIGN OF THE ZODIAC? Courtesy: Google Each of the 12 signs of the zodiac is a name given to a 30-degree arc of the sky, as viewed from Earth. As the Earth moves round the Sun, the Sun appears to pass from one 30-degree arc to the next, completing the journey through all 12 zodiac arcs in one year.  For example, a person whose birthday is on 1 January is born when the Sun is in the zodiac sign of Capricorn. This is referred to as a person's sun sign. Hence, a person born a month later, when the sun is passing through the next 30-degree arc, would have the next zodiac sign, Aquarius, as his sun sign.
