THE SAGAS (SPINACH) OF MITHILA
GENHAARI SAAG
PORO SAAG
KHESAARI SAAG
Kalidas was married to a princess named Vidyotma who was a great scholar.
One day Kalidas left home and came to Uchhaith Bhagwati after being insulted by his wife because of his foolishness.
There was a Sanskrit school in the east of the temple and there was a river between the temple and school.
Kalidas started working as a cook in the school. After few days came the season of monsoon and the river flooded with continuous rain.
Every day students from the school used to do evening prayers in the temple after cleaning it. Because of the flooded river, students were not able to go to the temple for offering prayer and they managed to convince Kalidas to swim the river and offer evening prayer.
They told him to leave a mark in the temple as a proof that he visited the temple and did evening prayer.
Swimming the flooded river Kalidas crossed the river and reached the temple. After lighting the Diya and offering prayer Kalidas started finding something to leave a mark. But he could not find anything.
Suddenly he noticed the wall which had gone dark by the smoke of Diya. He took some black smoked ash from the wall on his finger and started searching a place where he could mark.
As the whole temple wall was full of black marks because of the smoke, he thought of leaving a mark on Goddess’s face. As he moved his hand forward to mark Goddess’s face, she appeared before him seeing his utter devotion and dedication to finish the task he had taken up.
He asked goddess for Vidya Dan (Knowledge) as he was insulted by his wife because of his foolishness.
Devi said Tathastu and told him that he will have know as many books he will touch that whole night.
After reaching the school and feeding students he collected books from every student and touched all of them.
Rest is history.
Kalidas has many unparalleled poetries in his names like Kumar Sambhav, Raghuvansh, Meghdut and many more. Not a single person returns empty-handed from this temple.
On gaining the utmost literary knowledge, Kalidasa became the pioneer of ancient Indian literature. That is why this place is also known as Siddhipith of Kali Das or the Kalidas Deeh. The story of Kalidas is very beautifully depicted on the walls which are certainly a unique experience.

MANDAN MISHRA
DEBATE WITH SHANKARACHARYA
A legend describes how Maṇḍana Miśra is said to have first met Adi Shankara. It was customary in the time of Shankara and Maṇḍana for learned people to debate the relative merits and demerits of the different systems of Hindu philosophy.
Shankara, an exponent of Advaita philosophy sought out Kumarila Bhatta, who was the leading exponent of the Purva Mimamsa philosophy. However, at that time, Kumarila Bhatta was slowly immolating himself as a penance for his sins.
After reading some of Shankara's work and realising the depth of his knowledge, he directed Sankara to his greatest disciple, Maṇḍana Miśra, who was leading a householder's life (Grihastha), to debate the merits of their respective schools of thought.
While trying to find the house of Maṇḍana, Sankara asked for directions and was told the following:
You will find a home at whose gates are several caged parrots discussing abstract topics like — 'Do the Vedas have self-validity or do they depend on some external authority for their validity?
Are karmas capable of yielding their fruits directly, or do they require the intervention of God to do so? Is the world eternal, or is it a mere appearance?' Where you find the caged parrots discussing such abstruse philosophical problems, you will know that you have reached Maṇḍana's place.
Shankara found Maṇḍana, but the first meeting between them was not pleasant. According to Vedic ritualistic rules, it is inauspicious to see an ascetic on certain days and Maṇḍana was angered to see Shankara, an ascetic, on the death anniversary of his father.
Maṇḍana initially hurled insults at Shankara, who calmly replied to every insult with wordplay. The people in Maṇḍana's house soon realised Sankara's brilliance and advise Maṇḍana to offer his respect. Finally, after a verbal duel, Maṇḍana agreed to debate with Shankara.
KUMĀRILA BHAṬṬA
Kumārila Bhaṭṭa (fl. roughly 700) was a Hindu philosopher and a scholar of Mimamsa school of philosophy from early medieval India. He is famous for many of his various theses on Mimamsa, such as Mimamsaslokavarttika. Bhaṭṭa was a staunch believer in the supreme validity of Vedic injunction, a great champion of Pūrva-Mīmāṃsā and a confirmed ritualist.
The Varttika is mainly written as a sub commentary of Sabara's commentary on Jaimini's Purva Mimamsa Sutras. His philosophy is classified by some scholars as existential realism.
He has written many books and some of them are stated below,
(If you want to buy any of these books just tap on the name and you will be redirected to the site where you can purchase them )
Kataoka, Kei, Kumarila on Truth, Omniscience and Killing
He is said to be a great scholar and the pride of Mithila. Below are some religious beliefs about him-
According to legend, Kumārila went to study Buddhism at Nalanda (the largest 4th-century university in the world), to refute Buddhist doctrine in favour of Vedic religion. He was expelled from the university when he protested against his teacher (Dharmakirti) ridiculing the Vedic rituals.
Legend has it that even though he was thrown off of the university's tower, he survived with an eye injury. (Modern Mimamsa scholars and followers of Vedanta believe that this was because he imposed a condition on the infallibility of the Vedas thus encouraging the Hindu belief that one should not even doubt the infallibility of the Vedas.)
Kumārila Bhaṭṭa is sometimes regarded as an avatar of Kumaraswamy, the son of Parvati and Shiva. The main purpose of this avatar was to protect the Vedas (karma marham poojaa, abhishekam, yagynam, yahan, homam) which were dwindling from the then India (Bharatha desam).
Vedas are and continue to remain to define Bharatha desam from which present-day India has taken its shape, co-existing along with many other religious beliefs.
UBHAYA BHARATI
He is the wife of Mandan Mishra And the sister of Kumaril Bhatta but she is famous for the only human ( being a woman in that time ) to have defeated Adi Guru Shankaracharya.
Here Is The famous Story From This Site
The great Hindu philosopher from Kerala, Adi Shankaracharya, was directed by another scholar, Kumaril Bhatt, to go and visit this very special couple. When Mishra first saw Shankaracharya, he became upset.
Shankaracharya was a hermit and as per Vedic rules of the household, the face of a hermit is inauspicious on certain days. Later, however, he reconciled to Shankaracharya’s presence.
Though he was as intelligent as Shankaracharya, Mishra had not internalised wisdom. Therefore, he was not as calm as him. This led Bharati to declare Shankaracharya as the victor over her husband. Shankaracharya was impressed by her fairness.
This created a dilemma. Shankaracharya had taken a vow of celibacy. How could he experience and gain knowledge of the kamashastra ? Bharati smiled and said that was his problem.
We are told that Shankaracharya then trained himself in the tantric secrets, enabling him to leave his body and enter the body of a dead king called Amaru in Kashmir. Through the reanimated body of Amaru, he experienced sexual pleasure. On returning to his original body, he met Bharati and explained how he understood kamashastra. Bharati then happily declared Shankaracharya the greatest Vedic scholar.
This story is from Shankaracharya’s many biographies, composed 500 years after Shankaracharya died. It is quite possible that these are based on local folklore and may not have historical authenticity. However, this particular story draws attention to very interesting ideas. We have tensions between the householder arm of Vedic Hinduism and the hermit arm of Vedic Hinduism.
There is also tension between the Vedic way of thinking, valuing the mind, and the tantric way of thinking, valuing the body and the occult arts. We are made to realise that Shankaracharya was an expert, both in the occult and the metaphysical aspects of Hinduism, making him the winner.
In a modern take of the story, following his defeat, Mishra becomes an ascetic called Sureshwara and spreads Shankaracharya’s Advaita Vedanta around the world. He abandons the householder’s life and becomes a hermit. From this point, we stop hearing anything about Bharati.
Was becoming a hermit superior to being a husband?
By making the hermit superior to the husband, the woman’s position is made inferior.
In the monastic and occult traditions of India, the female position is always inferior and female biology is considered inferior to the males.
We see this being reinforced by folklore that emerges from the monastic traditions of medieval India.
This goddess holds a parrot in her hand, which is a symbol of Kamadeva, the god of love, desire and sexuality. She also holds a pot in her hand as well as a book, making her an amalgamation of Saraswati, Laxmi and Gauri, goddesses of wisdom, wealth and the household, respectively. Though Shankaracharya was a hermit, he was made to appreciate both the woman and the householder’s life.
But Hinduism has undergone many transformations and we are now in a phase where women are questioning their sidelined position. Shankaracharya is said to have written a very famous collection of erotic verses called Amaru-shataka, but we prefer to study Shankaracharya as a metaphysician rather than an expert in the erotic arts.
It is time for us to take notice of Ubhaya Bharati who taught Shankaracharya that wisdom cannot exist without including the household, the body and the woman.
AYACHI MISHRA
When Chief Minister Nitish Kumar reached Ayachi Dih in Sarisavpahi village of Madhubani on Saturday, 09 Sep, during the meeting, many stories related to the scholar Ayachi Mishra of Mithila came on the tongue of the people.
Bhavnath Mishra, who had spent his entire life on a mere one-fifth of the land, did not ask anyone for life. That's why he became famous as Ayachi. He became famous as a scholar of justice philosophy. He had a son Shankar Mishra.
Ayachi Mishra was a scholar of justice philosophy and taught for free. In Gurudakshina, he would only say that teach 10 people.
On the other hand, he had a Dalit woman who was a delivery servant. He worked as a foster at the time of Shankar Mishra's birth.

The message of a non-discriminatory society will go from Ayachi Dih in Sarisbapahi, the Chief Minister said that the message of a society without discrimination from Ayachi Dih will go all over the country.
After unveiling the statue of Pandit Achay Mishra and the delivery assistant, he said that at the time of the birth of Shankar Mishra, son of Ayachi Mishra, the labour servant could not be paid.

HONOURS
THE BIGGEST ACHIEVEMENT FOR HIM AS WELL AS MITHILA AS A WHOLE IS THAT HE WAS AMONG THE FIRST RECIPIENTS OF THE PADMA BHUSHAN (1954).
In 1910-11 the Muir Hostel was constructed. Allahabad University renamed it as "Amarnath Jha Hostel" to pay him regards. hostels' history says that Dr Amarnath Jha as Vice-Chancellor of the University of Allahabad was himself also the warden of the Muir Hostel. He was among the first recipients of the civilian honour of Padma Bhushan (1954).
GANGA NATH JHA
Aditya Nath Jha (18 August 1911 – 1972) of the Indian Civil Service (ICS) was the recipient of Padma Vibhushan in 1972 for his service to Civil Services in India. He belonged to the 1936 batch of the ICS.

THE REAL PRIDE
He was selected as the Director of Academy by former Home Secretary of India, Shri B. N Jha. He contributed a lot of books on philosophy and literature to the library (the famous Gandhi Smriti Library) at the academy.
Here are some words about this Legend by another writer-
In the book, Bureaucracy – Growth and Development, 1997, U.C Mandal writes, an autobiography titled There is no doubt that the Director in the early 1960s, A.N Jha (ICS, UP) was very popular with probationers and also very broadminded and relaxed about discipline at the Academy.
'Jha was wonderful;
He would stroll out on to the lawn, have four or five chairs brought, sit down and call passing probationers over to sit and chat about a wide variety of subjects in an informal way; he 'had a fine sense of humour and was very cultured'’.
When two probationers got drunk and fought in Kulri market with bottles and chairs and tables causing Rs 12,000 damages, a shopkeeper called on Jha demanding reparation; to his surprise, Jha said 'there was no question of any action taken against boys as they were like children to him; As for money,
Jha claimed that only dogs and probationers were in Mussoorie at that time of the year (winter), so whatever profit the shopkeepers were making was only from his probationers- hence there was 'no question of payment'.

EVERYTHING ABOUT MITHILA | मिथिला के बारे में सब कुछ
Below is a short description of him from this site-
Jagannath Mishra (24 June 1937[1][2] – 19 August 2019) was an Indian politician who served as Chief Minister of Bihar and as Minister in the Union Cabinet. He was also Member of Parliament, Rajya Sabha between 1988 - 1990 and 1994 - 2000.
His involvement was at a high level in the Indian National Congress. He was elected Chief Minister of Bihar three times. After his brother L.N Mishra's assassination, Jagannath Mishra became Bihar's most powerful Congress leader in the late seventies and eighties.
Before the emergence of Lalu Prasad Yadav in 1990, Jagannath was rated as the biggest mass leader in Congress. He was affectionately called "Doctor Sahib".
He was also referred to as "Maulana" Jagannath because of his clout with the Muslims that he had earned by making Urdu as the second official language of the state in 1980.
CARRER
Mishra began his career as a lecturer and later became professor of economics at Bihar University. On 23 July 1983, he made a two-hour statement in the Bihar State Assembly in which he criticized the Centre.
Among the charges he made against the Centre were that the state mined 40 per cent of the country's minerals but only got 14 per cent of the royalty earned. He claimed that he had "strongly pleaded with the Centre that the policy should be changed".
He added that "the Centre is the buyer of our mineral products. It does not look nice that the consumer should also fix royalty rates. he second charge was that the financial institutions were not being fair to the state. Jagannath had stated "I have told the chairman of the Industrial Development Bank of India to invest more in Bihar. I have also told the financial institutions in plain words that for everything we would not go to the Centre".
For the Congress(I) high command, the criticism was an uncommon show of independence. Almost immediately Jagannath was summoned to Delhi and resigned on 14 August 1983.
DEATH
Mishra died on 19 August 2019 at the age of 82 years, after a prolonged illness in a Delhi hospital. After his death, a three-day state mourning was declared in Bihar. He was cremated with full state honours in Balua Bazar, his ancestral village in Supaul district.

Madhubani art (or Mithila painting) is a style of Indian painting, practiced in the Mithila region of the Indian subcontinent. This painting is done with a variety of tools, including fingers, twigs, brushes, nib-pens, and matchsticks and using natural dyes and pigments.
It is characterised by its eye-catching geometrical patterns.[citation needed] There is ritual content for particular occasions, such as birth or marriage, and festivals, such as Holi, Surya Shasti, Kali Puja, Upanayana, and Durga Puja.

Madhubani art has five distinctive styles: Bharni, Kachni, Tantrik, Godna and Kohbar. In the 1960s Bharni, Kachni and Tantrik styles were mainly done by Brahman and Kayashth women, who are 'upper caste' women in India and Nepal. Their themes were mainly religious and they depicted Gods and Goddesses paintings.
People of lower castes included aspects of their daily life and symbols, the story of Raja Shailesh [guard of the village] and much more, in their paintings.
Madhubani art has become a globalised art form, so there is no difference in the work on the basis of the caste system. They work in all five styles. Madhubani art has received worldwide attention.
CONCLUSION
The name of this ART, I would now like to rest my case that Mithila was, is and will always be the richest and the best Indian Culture. An eye could collectively see the whole of India in just one glance at Mithila.
