Navaneetham picture contest - We have a WINNER !!

[Guest guest]

Dear Group,

 

We have a winner! And our winner is none other than our K.V Gopalakrishnaji!

 

Congratulations, Gopalakrishnaji!. May God Bless You Always.

 

I received a total of 8 emails and all have correctly pointed one or other small errors. So, Congratulations to all of you!

 

Gopalakrishnaji's was the FIRST email I received (7 AM IST; 7.30 PM US/PST ) and he was correct without a doubt!

 

Other emails are from

 

PS Vinod - 10.07 pm US/PST , Arun P Pillai - 10.24 pmJayashree - 11 pmKeethi Kumar Menon - 11.32 pmRajan Nair Kinattinkara - 12.33 AMIndu - 2.37 AMSatya Sreenivasa Rao Ramisetty - 8.12 AM

 

You can see a compilation of the findings at the end of this mail.

Orginal email from Sabarish that made me think about this contest :

 

" Guruvayoorappan's picture on the last page of Navaneetham (July and August issues) has a mistake. The order of charkam, shankh, gadha, padmam in the picture is wrong. "

 

I was really surprised to learn that because the source of the picture was Guruvayur Deavswom web site-

http://www.guruvayurdevaswom.org/img/wallpaper/16.jpg

Seems like someone flipped the picture by mistake before posting to the Devaswom web site. And we carried that mistake in Navaneetham.

 

My sincere apologies.

 

Here is your email answers -

Gopalakrishnaji:

In fact, there are three glaring mistakes if one has to point out==1. On page-2- Krishna is shown as the 9th Avatara in the array of Avataras. Actually it is the 8th.

2.On page 4, Vamana is shown as keeping his left foot on the head of Mahabali (in the picture, only the kireedam is shown, not the head, that is a different story). But it is actually the right foot.

3. On the last page, the picture of guruvayoorappan looks turned the other way, left should be right and right should be left. Further, what the present left hand carries, (it should be the chakram in the wrong picture) it doesnt look like a chakram.

PS Vinod:My observation says it's on Page 4/39 - Only 9 incarnations instead of 10.

 

Arun P PillaiI found it .... how come we didnt notice this .... I thing the picture was inverted ... page 39, Bhagawan's photo ...left came as right ...

 

Jayashreei think the mistake that you are referring to is in the dashavataram picture put on the contents page. picture of kalki avatar is missing.

Keethi Kumar MenonI found the mistake with the photograph printed on 2nd page. Vamana moorthi is shown as 35 - 40 years old man. Its really have to be shown as a "Vamana boy".

 

Rajan Nair Kinattinkara

It seems there is something wrong with the picture on Page No. 35, i.e. Lord Vishnu bless Vasudevar and Devaki.

 

InduIn the picture of Dashavatharam ... Kalki is not shown...

Satya Sreenivasa Rao RamisettyI have gone through the pictures and feel that there is issue with this painting on page 15. The right hand fingers of Lord Krishna doesn't show the correct play method. It is the finger tips which should be closing the flute holes rather than the end of the finger. That is my first observation.

Thanks to Sabarish for initiating this and thanks to all of you for your observations and suggestions.

 

May God Bless You.

 

Om Namo Narayanaya:

Sunil.
