Bio data of K.C.Sujata
In al my life i had no doubts about my identity and the religion i belong to .--Hinduism .It is the reaction of a white capped Muslim boy in Bangalore in 2015 on seeing me dangling a small idol of Srinivasar dangling from my key chain that makes me think that many are unaware of my identity and the religion i belong to .I was wearing asaree and had kumkum n my orhead and was walking along with my son towards arestaurant when aMuslim youth in pyjamakurta and white cap came swaggering towards me from a neaaby road stall staring at me and then when his eyes fell on my keychain he looked shocked and made a abrupt turn and vanished instantly into nearby stalls .he remained hidden through out my visit.
That boy may have been brain washed into thinking that i am not a Hindu woman and was being sent for some casing purpose .But when he saw me carrying a small idol he couldn't digest it and made a hasty retreat .As a hindu woman i t is normal for me to carry miniature idols of gods in my person.I wear rings with idols of gods embossed in it .So why are these persons viz Muslims so surprised at this?It makes me feel that they have some vile ulterior motive to stalk me thus.This incident made me ponder about it for several days and years .Why is some one deliberately fuzzing my Hindu religious identity and tricking other communities into believing that i belong to their community?This is still happening .
Gender --Female
Age --63
Marital status -Married to a man nearly 38years back from my community viz Hindu SriVaishnavaite Tamil Brahmin /Ayengar, belonging to same sect viz--Vadagalai after exchange of horscopes and performing mangalya dhram viz tying sacred thread with mangalyam around my neck by my husband and taking seven steps viz performing satpathi before the sacrficial fire known as homam.The marriage is still subsisting and is going steady.
I can give along list of the various homaams i took part in and also in the compulsory rituals known as Karma i took part which would be too tedious so i will confine myself to enumerating all my activities since 2012 when this seed of suspicion as to who i am was first sown by clever manipulators.
Every year since 2006 the shradha /dhavasam ceremony of my parents in laws are conducted by my husband in our house .It takes place twice a year . In that ceremony i tie 9 yds saree and start the hoamam by lighting the dried twigs placed on dried cow dung cakes kept on a small homa kund[ a cement vessel] with help of burning camphor.The ritual of remembering and pleasing our pitrus by chanting mantras by my husband and pouring ghee etc into the homam can be started only if his wife -me-commence it by lighting the twigs which is ordained in Hindu shastras. I have been doing this dutifully every year .and will continue to do so.
It was I who started my son's marriage ceremony in 2016 by lighting the twigs placed in the homa kund since it is the mother's duty to do so as per Hindu traditions .
Social status. Being one of the oldest sumangali's --viz a married woman with a long marriage with husband around - I am also given the honour to light homa kunda in some of our relatives functions . I did this as recently as last year .
My attire --Saree .
The ornaments worn by me at all times ---
1.Two mangalyams /Thali attached to a gold chain .This was tied around my neck on the day of my marriage by my husband and it has remained there ever since .except when i had to repair it .
In 2014 i did remove it out of fear believing all the crap dinned into my head that it was being used in controlling me in a delusional manner .I was in a very weakened state the jamming followed by constant transmissions of death threats which i didnot realise were the steps taken to stop me from praying , meditating and also to confuse and convert .me. In certain areas i am quite traditional and it horrified me that strange men would be seeing my Mangalyam , which as per our traditions only a husband should see , I felt that there was some truth in what was being dinned into my head that the gold mangalyams were being used in controlling me and immediately felt that its sacredness has diminished.I couldn't stomach men apart from my husband setting thier eyes upon my mangalyams and felt that only by removing it and hiding it in a box i would be able to preserve its sanctity.from prying eyes of men. That was one of the main reason that i removed it and tied a yellow thread with a piece of turmeric around my neck.
I wore it a year after regaining my confidence after few surgeries which i thought will stop all the strange secretions i was experiencing which was termed as delusional control by my transmitters who had linked it with my mangalyam, when ever i prayed or visited temples or attended functions.
So i am now always wearing my gold chain with its mangalyam .The two gold pendants known as mangalyam have two U's with a tilak inbetween the U's.This is embossed in each of the mangalyam .The U represents the two sacred feet of Narayana joined at the heels and the tilak inbetween represents Maha Lakshmi, the inseparable consort of Narayana.Hence i am always wearing the sacred feet of Sriman Narayana tied around my neck 38 years back by my husband, close to my heart.

3.A pair of gold bangles.
4.Gold rings in my fingers with miniature idols of Lord Venkateswara and Lakshmi .

The red kumkum /vermillion i use every day also contains the kumkum used in the kum kum archana of prime deity viz main moorthy of Padmavathi Thayar viz Lakshmi - at Trichanur temple.
Place of worship --Apart from the niche in a cupboard where images and idols of our deities are placed , also temples .Despite a lot of hurdles thrown on my way in visiting a temple like making my head spin or make me feel too lethargic or cause various aches in my body as well as incontinence and burning forehead at night, i somehow manage to visit a temple .
My gothra --Before marriage Kausika and after marriage Kaundinya .gothra.
My Tamil birth star --Punarvasu. Tamil month --Aadi .
