How to go to Sringeri

on banks of Tunga river, Shri Adi Sankara saw a cobra with a raised hood, providing shelter from the hot sun, to a frog about to spawn.

He came to know that the place was so blessed as Rishya Sringa Rishi was doing penance

Rishyasringa was the sage who officiated Putra Kameshti Yagna of King Dasaratha, which got Lord Rama to earth. The sage has brought rains to the drought hit region of Karnataka with his grace and has blessed many. Finally Lord Shiva gave him Mukthi In the form of Lightning

Jagadguru Adi Sankara established a mutt here, which came to be known as Sringeri mutt

Rename Uppal Stadium - Rajiv Gandhi is not lucky

Grand Old Dada's reentry to IPL was a success. Not because of his talent or Deccan Charger's poor bowling/fielding. It is just because of the lucky ground . Yes! Rajiv Gandhi Cricket Stadium in Uppal, Hyderabad has become lucky for all opponents. Deccan Chargers lose every match they play here ... just look back when they played in South Africa .. all matches away from home they were the champions!

For heaven sake, either build a new stadium or change the name. Rajiv bye bye
