Well.. A fantastic effort by an australian on this portrayal of this ancient culture followed even now in modern times... taking a bow Mr. Australian..
This is a beautiful documentary showcasing the beautiful chithirai Thiruvizha, the faith, the sense of community and togetherness (no politician can take it away from the Tamizh people). Joined by faith across casts, villages, towns, district and the entire state. People come for afar to enjoy the beautiful wedding of Meenakshi and Sundareshwar . Have to give the commentator / Nat geo lead for his wonderful attempt to stick to the real story, the people and getting the pronunciations right. His joy, awe is evident in his beautiful commentary and documentary. Thanks for showing the real beauty of India
The story of Meenakshi teaches a lot of modern feministic values. And, importantly a lot of lessons on how Patriarchy comes in various forms to blunt the efforts of feminism...
I was just imagining how massive and divine it might be back then when the real wedding and celebrations was happening of the lords. It must be 10000 plus times of what we are celebrating today. 🙏🏼
Meenakshi means Meen + Aatchi which means the 'Rule of Fish" as Fish is the symbol of Pandiyan Kingdom we consider and We are still under the rule of beloved Queen of Pandiyan Dynasty.
In Madurai, Meenakshi Amman is not a mere goddess... She is our Mother herself... She is our emotion and part of every household irrespective of caste creed and religion...
Lots Of Love And Respect From Kolkata 🕉️☀️🚩🚩🧡🧡🪷🪷🙌🙌 Save Kolkata Save West Bengal From Cows And Buffaloes Meat Trafficking Save West Bengal Save Kolkata From tmc gundas and mamta conspiracies 🙏🙏
Meenactchi - Meen - Fish - Symbol of Pandyas atchi - Rule. Ruler of Fish - Simple Ruler of Pandyas. Still now people consider Meenatchi is their own Queen
Meena>fish,fish like Akshi>eyes Meenaksi>the one with eyes like fish shaped.. Long eyes looking like fish r considered beautiful on females in ancient times..
The inscriptions says the Real name of meenakshi is "Thirukkaamakkottam udaiya aaludaiya naachiyaar". The original name of shiva is "Thiruvaalavaai udaiya magaadevar"
@visualeffects3965 the original name is "thiruvaalavaai udaya naayanar" not "magadevar". In ancient tamil regions siva was called naayanar for example Gajasamharamurthy is called " Kari uritha naayanar".
@@josejoseph8725 What you have mentioned is correct. Exact name is "Thiruvaalavaai udaiya naayanaar". but In the inscriptions they mentioned both. Magadevar word is also used. There is a line saying "Aalavaayudaiya Magadevar koyilukku aakkal....." it says about the Cows and sheep donations to the temple for lighting the lamps.
I am from Madurai. And very excited to see Chithirai Thiruvizha after nearly 35 years through this program. Honestly very disappointed. There is so much of beautiful details about Meenakshi Kalyanam and Alagar that are there. Beautiful cultural lore. But the program big time missed out on all that and picked only the superfluous symptomatic. Turns out I live in Gary's home town and for all the pomp and pageantry he showed in his Master Chef program back then, he totally fizzled out ..! 🤭 Oops Gary. Is that all ..? Meh.
Dear NGI, that was an awsome coverage and details. Next time try to cover the THIRUVARUR CHARIOT FESTIVAL, bcs THIRUVARUR CHARIOT IS THE BIGGEST OF ALL IN TAMILNADU. Thank you
Mughals have nothing to do with Jigarthanda. True, some Malaai/Milk Sweets came to TN from North India/Varanasi, but it has nothing to do with Mughals as such.
@@santhoshv3028 It has nothing to do with Rowther Muslims too, as has been believed. It was an invention by one of Tamils returning from Kaasi/Varanasi.
That was a wonderful episode! Although, I felt that Lord Alagar deserved equal attention as Lord Meenakshi. As you aptly put it, the line between legend and history is blurry, leading to various stories about Lord Alagar's visit to Madurai. My favorite account is that Lord Alagar, being Lord Meenakshi's brother, travels to attend her celestial wedding but is delayed by floods at the River Vaigai. Unfortunately, the marriage proceeds without him, angering Lord Alagar, who returns home without attending. According to legend, on his return journey, he stops by his Muslim friend's house. Many of us still jokingly hold a grudge against Lord Meenakshi for not waiting for her brother ‼️😂🤣😂🤣
Muslim friend's house? Islam is 1450 years old...it didn't make its presence feel in tamil nadu even 500 years ago...how could lord alagar get to connect with a muslim? Are these legends really as old as one makes them out to be? Or are all these stories recent inventions?
@@sridharreddy8011 it gets better. It's a girlfriend and he spends the night there‼️😂🤣🤣 Not a bad thing entirely. I don't know if you know it but there is a Muslim shrine in Sabari malai where all devotees also pay their respects before entering the main temple. Helps with promoting the brotherhood spirit.
@@GbMuthu brotherhood from whose point of view? No muslim visits sabari malai...these stories were created when Hindus were converting newly to islam and many of them were completely ignorant of Islamic beliefs...nowadays these concepts of brotherhood and secularism are only limited to Hindus...muslims and Christians don't take part in any Hindu festival...of course some kerala muslims and Christians still take part in onam feasts..but many of them moved away from these festivities saying these are pagan festivals . I was surprised to see most tamil muslims have now started wearing burkha and are becoming more fundamental...tamil Hindus should come out of this false perception that muslims and Christians identify themselves with tamil culture...for them religion is above everything
@BeingOG-t8x temple structure like gopuram have many benefits. That's why our ancestors say don't built more than gopuram height. It absorb the cosmic energy, that's why gopuram have metals on top. Still many scientific reasons are behind it. I can't explain it here everything. For gopuram kalasa have seeds , rice , millets etc because if there is any huge flood or any big disaster, whole crop in field would get destroyed so they take those seed, grains from gopuram kalasa and do agriculture again. Those act as lighting arrester too. Today we don't practice that much
People playing the patriarchy matriarchy game just because that boys dress up as Goddess Meenatchi, you people are for real? They are literally celebrating a matriarchal custom they are celebrating their mother/queen/goddess.
In large viewer channel we expected much better. Really madurai was missing people Will think negatively if We shown like this. Madurai people like for my comment,if agree
I hope those north indians who complaint about hinduism being neglected in south india sees this. Atheist goverment made so much more to Hinduism than the so called hindutva parties. Proud of my state ❤
Wrong info my son. 85 % of Hindu people in madurai and that is aggressive Hindu people are people under pandiyan rule so Hindu Dharma is preserved Today 💫⚡
NonSense. Neither DMK Govt nor ADMK Govt can even think of stopping Sanatan Hindu Traditions in TN Temples. 1. There's huge Monetory advantage at the cost of Donors, undercutting HRCE Finances. 2. They can't stop even if their handler missionaries force them to. There'll be a huge backlash against them. 3. A primary example of how they stopped a huge festival is evident was in Tiruchengode. A semi-Fictious Vatican sponsored Book "Mathorubagan" endorsed by DMK/CONg eco system brought this age-old festival to a standstill.
We need to prove anything to this north Indians. Let them rant. Most of them are confused guys who are enslaved by Mughals for 800 years and don't know what is real culture. Let them come to South and See it..
I want to live again in the Pandiya Nadu for 1000 years prior to the British occupation !! BTW you have a tormented tongue for pronouncing Tamil names ,
There's a fundamental issue with this documentary. When covering the grand festival of Madurai Meenakshi Amman Temple, the focus should remain on vegetarian food. If you are closely involved with the temple and visit it daily, it's important to eat only vegetarian food and maintain cleanliness. Including non-vegetarian street food, like Madurai Bun Parotta & Chicken gravy etc., felt out of place and awkward in this context. It would have been better to feature such dishes in a separate video dedicated to Madurai's culinary specialties.
In Tamil Nadu, We sacrifice Goats and Chickens in temples itself, don’t bring your teaching of vegetarianism to us. We know spirituality better than you! Stop blabbering nosense.
@@srinivasanpartha3826 Definitely not in Madurai Meenakshi Temple. Im well aware of the different Hindu cultures especially in Tamilnadu since I’m Tamil myself. Let’s not deviate from the above point. This is about Madurai Meenakshi and how the people worship the particular festival. I’m not here to preach vegetarianism or anything else.
@@waranmohanathasan Definitely not Madurai Meenakshi, do you know from when? From the era of Vijayanagar Nayak Kings rule. During the Pandya Rule they did Sacrifices right in the temple. Read and Understnsd History! Every Tamil temple was converted to this vegetarian nonsense claiming its pure. They literally whitewashed the actual Tamil culture.
Excellent video, just one correction. Athens is the Madurai of Europe, not the other way around. Madurai existed way before the Greeks could even form a civilisation of their own. Odds are they copied this model from India, as with everything else they claim to have today
