Arunachala is surrounded by eight lingams (ashta lingams) each residing in one of the eight directions of the four cardinal points (South – Yama, West – Varuna, North – Kubera, and East – Indra) and four incardinal points (South East – Agni, South West – Nirudhi, North West – Vayu and North East – Esanaya).
The guardians of the four cardinal directions are called the Lokapalas and are the deities who rule the specific directions of space. The name for the eight deities, four of the cardinal and four of the incardinal directions is 'Asta-Dikpalas'.
By the turn of the 20th Century many of the shrines, temples and tirthams at Arunachala were in a state of neglect and decay. In the case of the Ashta Lingams the areas around the shrines were filled with squatters and encroachments and the Ashta Lingams shrines themselves were unmaintained and their worship ignored.
It is believed by many that the work done by I.S.V. Arunachala Mooppanar (Mooppanar Swamigal) renovating and restoring the Ashta Lingams and their adjacent land, was responsible for helping to restablish the energetic power of the sacred geometry of Arunachala. It is certainly an interesting coincidence (?!) that since the renewal of these shrines, crowds of devotees flock to perform Girivalam of the Hill.
As so little is known about this excellent Arunachaleswarar devotee, I am including below an interesting biography of his life and divinely inspired work and am including photographs of the four Cardinal Lingams.
Life and Work of Arunachala Mooppanar (I.S.V. Arunachala Mooppanar)
It was late evening, Saturday,
Mooppanar led a married life for 22 years. Having no children, he adopted his elder brother's son and daughter when the former remarried on the demise of his first wife. When the daughter reached marriageable age, she died suddenly through illness. This was traumatic for Mooppanar. The son was then in the 8th standard, and Mooppanar viewed his own life to date. He questioned, "Is this all there is to life? There has been no real happiness so far. Am I going to spend the rest of my life looking after the boy?" Dispassion set in, and soon he felt the need for a more meaningful life. It was then that he made the momentous decision to leave everything behind and come to Tiruvannamalai to serve Lord Siva by offering sambrani dhupam, a traditional temple incense, to the Lord.
Thus it was that, having made provisions for his family, he arrived in Tiruvannamalai around 1965. On his arrival he met the chief priest, Ramalinga Sivachariar. The priest told him that what he had in mind would neither provide a roof over his head nor food for his hungry stomach. Ramalinga Sivachariar offered him a job selling panchamritam, a sacred blend of five fruits, at the temple shop jointly run by him and another priest. He also encouraged Mooppanar to carry on with his Siva puja (his puja items, now stored in the premises of the Kubera Lingam, are worth not less than Rs. 30,000). For the next five years he ran the panchamritam shop. There was neither gain nor loss. This too, he felt, was not his destiny. The opportunity to do thirupani, temple renovation, came when the owner of Udupi Brindhavan Lodge offered him free board and lodging. Freed from the burden of earning a living, he embarked on his ashtalinga thirupani in earnest. In the beginning he was given encouragement and help by one Ramanananda Swami.
The 14-kilometer circumference of the holy Arunachala Hill is dotted with several small shrines, including the Ashtalingams (eight Siva icons). Neglected over the years, these shrines had fallen into a sad state of disrepair. Mooppanar felt it was his destiny to restore them to their original glory. With this in mind, he approached the temple authorities, as all these shrines belong to the temple. The officer asked, "How are you going to carry out your renovation?"
Mooppanar replied, "There will be no committee. Siva is the boss, and I am the servant." The officer told him to carry on, if he had that much faith in himself. The temple would not interfere as long as he did not seek financial assistance from them. Thus began the arduous task of restoration. He first started on a small scale, doing minor repairs.
Later, as more money came in, he undertook restoration on a grander scale--providing electricity, drilling bore wells and building tanks for water storage. Cottages for the devotees have been built at Yama Lingam, Nirudhi Lingam, Palani Aandavar Koil, Surya Lingam, Varuna Lingam, Vayu Lingam and Kubera Lingam.
Mooppanar told devotees, "I am not doing this out of desire. I am a sivanadiyar, slave of Siva, born a human and a Saivite, and doing Siva puja (worship rite) for more than 25 years. If I do not carry out the repairs and restoration, there is no point in having taken birth. I have come for that purpose."
Toward the end of 1998 he had to discontinue his elaborate Siva puja due to ill health--diabetes, high blood pressure and a heart attack--brought on by stress caused by opposition from certain quarters that stood to lose when Mooppanar went to court to repossess property that rightfully belonged to the Ashtalingams. Over the years he had successfully gone to court more than once to reclaim Ashtalingam property. At the time of his death, there was a court case pending for Isanya Lingam, the eighth Ashtalingam, where work is currently in progress. From memory, he could give the actual acreage of each shrine.
On the first of every Tamil calendar month, he would walk around the hill at night, performing abhishekam, ritual bathing, and puja at every shrine. In the early days, barrels of water and items for abhishekam would be carried in a push cart from shrine to shrine by a devoted band of followers. This went on for many years. Following his heart attack at the end of 1998, he was unable to walk around the hill.
Swamiji had great compassion for cows. Every morning, on the way to the temple, he would stop at the cowshed to feed the cows and calves tidbits that he would pick up from the hotel. Through his devotees, he had contributed a few animals to the temple. At his request one devotee built a permanent shelter for the animals. On a regular basis he would have agathi leaves bought for the cows, a treat for them. Only after darshan of Lord Annamalaiyar and Unnamulai Amman would he have breakfast himself.
A man of discipline and self-control, he never imposed himself on anyone. Though he had free lodging, whenever the hotel was full, he would sleep in the corridor. He never visited old people or young children without taking some food for them. He would buy loose flowers for the Lord on his way to the temple every morning.
When Mooppannar was hospitalized following a heart attack in early April, 1999, his devotees wanted to take him to Chennai for treatment. He refused. If he should die, it had to be in Tiruvannamalai. He was adamant about this and he breathed his last in this sanctified place.
He was well-read and could recount stories from the Puranas. His stories would be interspersed with plaintive refrains from songs in praise of Lord Siva. In the early days he had accompanied the chief priest when the latter conducted temple consecrations in various parts of Tamil Nadu. Mooppanar was assistant in charge of everything.
Mooppanar appointed five trustees to carry on the work after him. He also put some money in fixed deposit, the interest from which was to help to maintain the shrines he had restored.
A large crowd gathered for his funeral.
There are plans afoot to have a statue of Mooppanar erected in the grounds of Kubera Lingam. Palms together, he will be facing the hill. It is hoped that the trustees fulfill Mooppanar's dream by completing the restorations he dedicated his life to.

There's a point in every Lucero show, after the band's rocked through a dozen songs, after an entire inventory of whiskey has been drained, when Ben Nichols steps up to the mic, alone. Usually this is when the Memphis frontman gets sentimental, strumming through "Joining the Army" or some equally heart-wrenching ballad. This time around, Chicagoans get a whole set of Nichols solo before he takes the stage with Lucero and Hot Water Music at the Metro later this week. Be sure to stick around for headliner Chuck Ragan. The former Hot Water Music frontman wears the troubadour title well, without forgetting where he came from. Ragan's debut "Feast of Famine" pays homage to some of the greatest men to ever pick up an acoustic guitar while engaging some of today's brightest musicians. It also demonstrates that Ragan can really shred—on a lap steel. (K. Tighe)

San Ramon, California's Bishop Ranch announced yesterday a partnership with ECOtality to install its electric vehicle (EV) charging hub onsite.
This location is one of the first to have a Blink DC Fast Charging in the country, and the only one in San Francisco's East Bay region. The EV charging center is located at BR 6, at 2440 Camino Ramon, San Ramon, Calif.
The Blink DC Fast Charger can fully charge CHAdeMo-equipped EVs in less than 20 minutes. For vehicles not equipped for DC Fast charging, Bishop Ranch also installed two Blink Level 2 chargers.
The Blink chargers have been installed in conjunction with the EV Project, managed by ECOtality. The EV Project provides EV infrastructure to support the deployment of EVs in key markets and is a public-private partnership, funded by the U.S. Department of Energy through a federal stimulus grant and made possible by the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act (ARRA).
Bishop Ranch says it is dedicated to the transportation needs of its 30,000 commuters, and the EV charging center is the newest component of its transportation program. The program includes free connections to Bay Area Rapid Transit (BART); free bus passes (valued at $1,250 annually per employee); train, vanpool and carpool transit incentives; a Guaranteed Ride Home program; and personalized commute-planning assistance for tenants.
"Bishop Ranch is home to some of the world's leading companies and innovative startups, with well-educated, environmentally aware employees. People who work at Bishop Ranch have many commuting options, and today commuting by electric vehicle just got a whole lot easier," said Edward Hagopian, executive vice president of Sunset Development Company, owner and operator of Bishop Ranch. "Installing Blink EV charging stations is another example of our sustainable business practices and our commitment to providing green tenant services in order to preserve natural resources for the future," said Hagopian.

After three full weeks of classes, I feel that I am settling very well into my new semester. I have plenty of classwork to keep me busy- especially in accounting. I have a midterm coming up in that class, since it is only an 8-week course, and it will count for a large percentage of my grade, so my evenings are consistently consumed with studying! I am adapting more to public speaking, so my business presentations class is getting a little easier!
I really enjoyed working at the Winter Career Fair this week! Our student attendance was very good, and our employer feedback was also very positive! It can easily be said that the Fair was a huge success. While working, I was also able to speak with some of the employers. I noticed a huge improvement from the Fall Career Fair in my ability to speak with employers. I felt more confident and at ease in my speaking through the practice I have acquired this year. I would absolutely recommend to any freshman to get interviewing/employer relations practice now because although an internship or full-time job may seem like a responsibility of the future, it is at least good to get practice in now so that when the time comes when a job is in near sight, you are prepared and confident!
That is all for now, but I will check back next week after my big midterm is over! Wish me luck (:

"you cannot control the waves, but you can learn to surf".
Our hope is that every child learns the tools to surf the waves of their lives.
For more resources on mindfulness, head on over to our blog!http://mindfulpediatricgiblog.com
What is
Mindfulness is the art of paying attention to our life on purpose. It is not based in any religion but it is a relationship between our heart, mind and body. It is a way of looking at our life experiences without judgement. Instead, we learn to view life with self compassion. We learn to be aware of what is happening in our body, in our mind and in our environment. We bring this awareness into each moment. Eventually this way of looking at life translates into a way of being in life. We navigate the world with greater mental clarity and stability. We learn to find peace and composure even in the most stressful situations.
A mindful child starts with a mindful parent. So we encourage this practice for parents and children. Mindfulness can be taught to children. Integrating simple practices such as listening to our breath, mindful walking exercises, practicing daily gratitude and eating with awareness can teach a child important concepts such as compassion, composure and non-judgement at a very early stage in life. Ultimately showing a child how to handle the thoughts that are associated with an illness can help them to manage the stress or fear that accompany it. As the great teacher of mindfulness Jon Kabat-Zinn said,

On this day one year ago, Joe and I sat down together and wrote our wedding vows. We wanted to make identical promises to one another, but we wanted them to be our promises. So we googled and brainstormed, and the end result was just perfect for us…
I, Kaitlin, in faith, honesty, and love, take you, Joe, to be my wedded husband, to share with you God's plan for our lives.
Together we will dream, we will stumble but restore each other, we will share all things, serving each other and our fellow humanity.
I will love you in sickness as in health, in poverty as in wealth, in sorrow as in joy, and will be true to you by God's grace, trusting in him. I will cherish and respect you, comfort and encourage you, be open with you, and stay with you as long as we shall live.
I vow to be your wife, your confidant, and your best friend. All these things I pledge to you in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ.

State Sport and Recreation Bodies are classified as organisations active in the sport and recreation sector however do not govern a sport in the way a State Sporting Association does.
These bodies are often characterised as working:
- with a particular population group (e.g.: multicultural youth, people with a disability, senior Victorians);
- as a peak organisation in the sector;
- to advance an aspect of the sector, such as facility type (e.g.: aquatic environments or indoor sports); or
- to develop broader recreational pursuits (e.g.: camping or nature play)
Sport and Recreation Victoria uses the following criteria and process to recognise State Sport and Recreation Bodies.

CHRISTOPHER Columbus was a freckly Scot who went by the name Pedro, according to a historian who has been researching the 15th century explorer for almost three decades.
Alfonso Ensenat de Villaglonga, 88, who has written three books on Columbus, has spent the past 27 years carefully examining hundreds of thousands of documents which he says proves the explorer was descended from Scottish nobility.
In his new book, the historian claims to have found evidence that Columbus was part of the Douglas Clan and that he was born in 1446, five years earlier than previously thought.
He also says Columbus went by the name of Pedro Scotto.
Columbus's origins have been disputed for centuries, with various academics and historians arguing that he was born in Italy, Portugal and Spain.
Mr Villalonga read 330,000 files in Italy and Spain during his research.
Unlike the invented images of Columbus, which show him with dark or grey hair, he had light-coloured eyes and frecklesHistorian. Alfonso Ensenat de Villaglonga
He claims Columbus's ancestors left Scotland to join a military operation in Italy in the 9th century.
He says that Guillemo Scotto, a distant descendant from the Douglas clan, fell ill during the campaign and his family remained in Italy.
More than 500 years later, Pedro Scotto was born in Genoa.
Mr Villalonga claims that Pedro Scotto once worked for a pirate called Vincenzo Columbus and adopted that family name to avoid embarrassing his relatives.
He says Columbus did not have an Italian appearance, as academics believe.

"Unlike the invented images of Columbus, which show him with dark or grey hair, he had light-coloured eyes and freckles," Mr Villalonga said.
"He also had blond or red hair which later turned white. That's how contemporary histories described him."
The historian believes that rather than coming from humble origins, as many believe, Columbus was from a wealthy family of traders and had an exclusive education at a religious school.
Despite the claims, historian Deborah Richmond Foulkes, who has researched the origins of the Douglas clan in Italy, disputed his version of events.
"Despite the excitement generated by Villalonga's research and his assumption that Christopher Columbus was a sailor from Genoa called Pedro Scotto, it would be a stretch to assume he was a Douglas," she said.
She said it was possible that Pedro Scotto could have been descended from Scottish immigrants to Italy.

Spiritual Direction, Patience, and A Man Called Ove
I might be addicted to reading, and more specifically, reading fiction. Stories reveal a great deal about human nature and are so compelling that I tend to compulsively finish one in a day—while ignoring tasks, people, and even food. There are some classics that I read every year, such as the entire Harry Potter series, but I also relish the thrill of finding a new character. All are opportunities to experience places I have never been, live in a time that I didn't experience, and study these fascinating creatures called humans. The chance to observe the responses of the some of these characters, and the author's explanation for them, allows me to deepen my understanding of people and the complex narratives that weave together forming lives, families, communities, and nations. Based on this deep love for fiction, many dear friends will suggest their favorites to me. I read most of them, even if I wouldn't have chosen it for myself, because it allows me to understand something about the recommender. I was very surprised to find myself recently resistant to a new character in a book recommended by a friend. This friend has great taste in books and I generally devour everything he has encouraged me to read. But not this one.
Reading A Man Called Ove by Fredrik Backman felt like a turtle slogging through peanut butter for the first several chapters. I didn't like the main character Ove, and the author resisted the urge to make him likeable or even explain his often-cruel behavior. The writing was excellent but I couldn't force myself to care what happened to him, at all. Until, suddenly, I did. The first piece of backstory fell into place just in time to keep me interested. Mr. Backman repeated this cycle all the way through the book and I realized that I was experiencing Ove as if in real life. I didn't know or understand his back story until he did something that required me to ask about it, just as his neighbors did.
Many have compared our lives of transformation into the image of Christ to a journey. Oftentimes, there are pictures of a beautiful, clearly marked path through the woods and we are encouraged to keep walking. The impression is that there is a beginning to this path and an ending, with gentle streams flowing alongside and comfy picnic tables to rest. The trees offer shade, the path is wide enough for two to walk shoulder to shoulder, and it is all gentle, downhill walking. Like fiction where the author tells us what each nod or smile means, it is a lovely image! Except, I haven't experienced it to be true.
It has been eight years since I began my adventure into the contemplative way of spiritual formation in earnest. The very first time I sat in silence, I became aware of a deep, dark pit of swirling emotions that existed buried in me. Not only had I been unaware of them before, I was terrified of them even though I instinctively knew some of their source. It would be four more years before that pit began to reveal itself as secrets needing to be told and healed. And still four years after that, more painful secrets have erupted. This journey looks nothing like an idyllic walk through the woods or even a labyrinth, with expected turns and curves.
So far, transformation has been more like following a drunk map-maker's route through the rainforest. There is no path marked, no picnic tables, and so many trees that it is dark in the daytime. I have encountered poison ivy, roaring rapids in the river, bugs and snakes and monkeys! (oh my) I am not sure of the location of my starting point because the foliage has covered up my progress, and it is equally unclear where this all ends. This journey feels treacherous, confusing, and lonely. My faithful spiritual director has matched me step for step with gentle patience as I get frustrated. Like Ove, my backstory wants to be revealed slowly, even to myself. Growth and maturing require this knowledge, but it comes at a high price and a very slow pace.
Pastoral counseling and spiritual direction are slow, and not always steady, progress toward the goal of transformation. While initial crisis intervention is sometimes necessary, it won't all move that fast. Save some energy for the slow burn season. This work is like that turtle slogging through peanut butter: you slip and slide for every half inch of forward motion, maybe only to discover the way out is actually the other way.
If you are someone who is interested in facilitating and supporting others' movement toward the heart of God,
slow down.
Stay here with them.
You are not expected to deliver them to a final destination point;
you are asked only to aid their discovery of today's manna.

A wrong-way, impaired and unlicensed driver sent three innocent people to the hospital in Winston-Salem, North Carolina (NC), on the night of June 15, 2017. The head-on collision happened at around 10:40 pm near the Akron Drive ramps to and from U.S. 52.
Police told reporters that the at-fault driver was traveling northbound in the southbound lanes of U.S. 52 at a high rate of speed when he crashed into a Toyota. The driver and front seat passenger in the Toyota sustained life-threatening injuries, while the backseat passenger was admitted to the hospital in serious condition.
After receiving treatment for his own injuries, the at-fault driver was charged with driving while impaired, traveling the wrong way on the highway, careless and reckless driving, driving without a license and multiple counts of causing serious injuries while operating a vehicle. North Carolina statutes define driving while impaired as taking the wheel
- While under the influence of an impairing substance; or
- After having consumed sufficient alcohol that he has, at any relevant time after the driving, an alcohol concentration of 0.08 or more. The results of a chemical analysis shall be deemed sufficient evidence to prove a person's alcohol concentration; or
- With any amount of a Schedule I controlled substance
Marijuana, heroin, LSD and PCP are the most commonly identified Schedule I drugs found in blood and urine tests performed on impaired drivers.
Driving under the influence of alcohol or drugs -- and often both at the same time -- is a leading cause of wrong-way driving. Then, wrong-way crashes are a major cause of disabling injuries and deaths. This head-on collision in Winston-Salem raises additional concerns because the at-fault driver has no license and almost definitely does not carry automobile insurance. Holding him financially accountable for paying his victims' medical bills might seem impossible.
North Carolina, however, is among the states that requires drivers who do pay for insurance to also carry uninsured (UM) and underinsured motorist (UIM) coverage. A consumer guide published by the state's Department of Insurance explains these coverages this way:
Uninsured Motorists (UM) Coverage will provide protection when an uninsured driver, who is at-fault, injures you or another covered individual. It also provides property damage coverage. Underinsured Motorists (UIM) Coverage will provide protection when an underinsured driver, who is at-fault, causes injury to a covered individual. An underinsured driver is one whose limits of liability are less than your UIM limits, and not enough to cover the losses of the people the underinsured driver injures in an at-fault accident.
Invoking UM/UIM coverage can sometimes be even more complicated than filing claims against an at-fault driver's insurance policy. Working with a dedicated and knowledgeable Carolina personal injury lawyer will help the victims clear hurdles and receive the compensation and damage payments they need to recover from this head-on collision.
