were forced to move from a camp so that they could build their stadium, the Baseball Ground. The
curse was that Derby County would never win the FA Cup. Despite reaching six FA Cup semi finals
between 1896 and 1903, including three finals, they never managed to win the trophy. The next time
they reached the final was in 1946 against Charlton Athletic. In the buildup to the final, a
representative from the club went to meet with Gypsies in an attempt to lift the curse. During the
match, with the score tied at 1-1, something happened. It has since been seen by fans of the club as
the moment the curse was lifted. Derby County went on to win the match 4-1.

Malanada - There is a Temple (Nada) on the Hill (Mala). Unlike other temples, there is no deity, nor a
‘Sreekovil’ as such in Malanada. In place of Sreekovil and deity we could see only a raised platform
called ‘Althara’ or ‘Mandapam’. In the absence of an idol, devotees submit themselves to a divine
power (of their imagination/understanding) through a mental process of ‘Sankalpam’. The concept is
unique in Indian history in as much as ‘X’, the Y King known for his ‘Thamoguna’ driven thoughts and
actions, he myth unravels: as part of his efforts to trace out Z, X traversed the forests in the south and
reached Malanada hill. By that time he was much tired and went to a nearby house on the north west
of Malanada and asked for drinking water. It was Kaduthamsserry Kottaram, where Malanada
Appoppan, the priest and ruler of the land was staying. An elderly woman gave him toddy which was
customary at that time as a mark of respect. The king enjoyed the drink, but realized after seeing the
‘Kurathali’ worn by the woman that she belonged to an untouchable lower cast by name ‘W’. The king
consoled himself and appreciated the divinity of the place and its people who possessed supernatural
powers (Siddha). Thereafter, in furtherance of his ‘Rajadharma’, the king sat on the hill and worshipped
Lord Siva, praying for the welfare of his people (the prajas). As an act of charity he gave away 100s of
acres of agricultural land and paddy fields as freehold to the ‘Devasthanam’. Even now the land tax of
the above property is being levied in the name of ‘X’.

Malanada - There is a Temple (Nada) on the Hill (Mala). Unlike other temples, there is no deity, nor a
‘Sreekovil’ as such in Malanada. In place of Sreekovil and deity we could see only a raised platform
called ‘Althara’ or ‘Mandapam’. In the absence of an idol, devotees submit themselves to a divine
power (of their imagination/understanding) through a mental process of ‘Sankalpam’. The concept is
unique in Indian history in as much as ‘X’, the Y King known for his ‘Thamoguna’ driven thoughts and
actions, he myth unravels: as part of his efforts to trace out Z, X traversed the forests in the south and
reached Malanada hill. By that time he was much tired and went to a nearby house on the north west

145. According to Islamic tradition, a Muslim may not be givem any of the 99 names of
Allah in the exactly same form because of the belief that Allah is almight and no
human being is his equivalent
As a result Muslims are allowed to use the 99 names of Allah for themselves, provided
they avoid ‘X’ before the names.However the names can be prefixed with ‘Y’,meaning
“servant/worshipper” and is common part of Muslim names.
Also another faith considers Z to be the 100th and the greatest name of Allah and is
the root word for many symbols and names in the faith.
