Yatri Bhawan at Srinagar The foundation stone for Yatri Bhawan at Durga Nag temple premises at Srinagar was laid by the Governor of J&K State on 15th October 2001. It was also attended by the Chief Minister Dr. Farooq Abdullah. A large gathering of people, particularly Kashmiri Pandits living in Srinagar were present. This was perhaps the largest gathering of the KPs in Srinagar after exodus. Shri P.N.Takoo, President, Durga Nath Trust, speaking on the occasion mentioned that Durga Nag Trust was a KP trust as set out by its original settler Swami Shiv Rattan Ji Maharaj in 1930. Swami was Shivji Bhat before he took to the monistic order. Marriage Mahoorat - It so happened In tune with the present trends, a Baraat reached the girl's place much later than the Mahoorat time at Jammu. The girl's father entertained the Baraatis to a Khaana, but politely refused to go ahead with the Lagan ceremony. He asked the groom to come on the next available Mahoorat, which was after two days, as he was not ready to marry his daughter on a day when proper Mahoorat was over. Will others take a leaf from his book?. Letters - You are doing wonderful work bringing information about Kashmir and its people to fellow Indians, through your web site ZAAN. I have much benefitted by browsing your site. As you are aware, Kashmir is highly seismic. Even though Kalhana and others have listed some of the earthquakes, the history remains incomplete in its details. From Shuka's history, we learn that there was a devastating shock in 1955 AD. This is corroborated by Persian records also. I need further authentic information on this event. Can you please let me know where are the villages Maru-petgam, Hasanpur and Husainpur? I need preferably the latitude and longitude. Also we know there was an earthquake felt in August-September 1803 AD. In fact this did not originate in Kashmir, but was felt in a wide area. If you can provide information on this from your archives, I would be thankful. The contribution of the poets of Kashmir to Sanskrit literature is immense. Kshemendra is simply marvellous. It is said that there was a star visible in the day time during his time (11th century AD). I did not find reference to this in Kshemendra's works. Have you or Pandits of Kashmir got reference to this? R.N.Iyenger
- Thank you very much for your new years greetings. We had distributed your Information Digests among the Kashmiri Pandit families in UK. The young generation here has appreciated your work. Kindly arrange to send us another set of 50 copies each by air post parcel as before and we shall arrange to send you £100 cheque. Dr. S.N.Ganju
