Tirumala Balaji attraction secret

Tirumala Balaji attraction secret

1. Across India there are so many famous deities & temples, why only this deity (Idol) has a magnetic attraction that people Q up for a sec Darshan?

2) Lord Balaji appeared as a child to Sri Ananthalwar and was hit by a crowbar, Immediately, Balaji's idol started bleeding...

3)When Balaji's child form was wounded physically, how did the idol start bleeding? Can you guess the secret?

4) Let me ask my last question. Great devotees like Annamacharya, Hathiram Bavaji rushed to Tirumala to have Darshan in their lifetime...

Why didn't they have Darshan at their local Balaji temple? What is so special about Tirumala and why they rushed there?

The first manifestation  at Tirumala

In Tirumala, we generally see one temple.But there are two more  mysterious temples that nobody knows. They will reveal the secret behind the deity.

The first manifestation of this place did not happen in this Kaliyuga as we all think.

Tirumala has 2000 Million years of history, that dated back to Swayambhuva manvantara, the beginning of this kalpam called "Shweta Varaha Kalpa" In the very beginning of this Kalpa, Varaha Swamy uplifted Earth (Bhudevi).Upon the request of Gods and  Brahma. Then he chooses this place for stay and asks Garuda (his vehicle) to bring down his "KreeDa Mountain" from Vaikuntam. Garuda brings it. Then Varaha swamy stays there as the first deity. Sridevi (Goddess Lakshmi) and Bhudevi (Goddess Earth) gets manifested as powerful wells on the same hill Other celestial beings took the form of Pushkarini. Lord Shiva became Kshetra Paalaka (Securing power.

 Tribal devotee 

There was a Tribal devotee (Nishada) who never ate anything before feeding Lord Varaha.

Lord Varaha was pleased and asked him to build the very first temple on Tirumala hill. That was the first temple on the Mountain.This was the first manifestation episode on Tirumala hill that happened about 2000 million years ago during the beginning of "Shweta Varaha Kalpa"

Here is the next episode that happened during "Swarochisha Manvantara" about 300-500 M years later

Kind Shankhana did penance at the hill and Lord Vishnu appeared to him.from Vaikuntham exactly at the place where "Shila Thoranam" (Mystic Rock Arch) exists at Tirumala today.

Shila Thoranam

Science enthusiasts also call it as "Star-gate", which means that the shortest path from one Lokam (Plane/Dimension) to another generally, it has Light years distance, but Stargate acts as entry/exit point for fastest travels Also, Geologists already proved that Shila Thoranam is 1500 million years old

Lord told Shankhana to make his deity (Idol) exactly in the same dimensions at which he appeared under the star-gate.

Lord Vishnu called Vishwakarma (Celestial engineer) and told him to make a 1000 pillared temple...

That's why today's Lord's idol also measures almost the same as the height of Shila Thoranam (~9 ft from the ground) at Tirumala

Then Lord Brahma requested him to settle there forever. Lord Vishnu said that his temple and Idol would Vanish for some time and would return at a later point...

He promised that he would manifest during Kaliyuga of some other future Manvantara

After a few million years, that Idol, Temple, and the wells disappeared from their Physical form and were reminded in micro astral forms.

Here is the next episode that started in the Dwapara yuga of present Manvantara (Few thousand years back).There was a staunch devotee of Lord Krishna by the name "Vikhanasa" (aka Gopi Nadha)

He was rushing to Dwaraka to have Lords Darshan...Lord appeared in his meditation and told him to go to Tirumala hill.

He asked him to unveil his Idol which is beneath the ground on Tirumala hill

Told him to pick up another staunch devotee on the way, by the name "Ranga Dasu" as a helper

They both went to Tirumala hill and dug up there to find the idol (The one made by Shankhana) ...

They built a small temple and started early worship at Tirumala.

Pooja process prescribed by "Vikhanasa" became "Vaikhanasa Agama" which is followed at Tirumala to date.

Ranga Dasu: 

Ranga Dasu was very fond of flower decoration to Lord and hence he grew up in a garden there

He dug up 2 wells for the water source, exactly at the same spots where there were divine wells a billion years back. One day Ranga Dasu found a Gandharva (Celestial being) taking bath with his beautiful wives at Pushkarini. Ranga Dasu's sexual desires were triggered by watching that and he didn't perform pooja decoration that day.Vaikhanasa maharshi observed it and said that "You are not fit to do puja with em anymore, your heart has got impure"

Ranga Dasu breaks into tears, Lord appears and says "Don't worry...in future births you will bear as a king and will enjoy these pleasures"

"In that life as well, you will be closely associated with me..."by the end of Dwapara Yuga, this idol got disappeared again.Vishwa karmas temple disappeared much before.

Lord Brahma  strategic ways to descend Lord Vishnu to earth

Now, lets get into the story that happened around the present Kali yuga

Lord Vishnu had promised Brahma that he would come down in physical form, but he was not fulfilling that promise. Lord Brahma found 2 strategic ways to descend Lord Vishnu to earth. 

Strategy 1: There were 4 souls waiting to get close to Lord again.

Dasaradha, Kousalya and Vasudeva,Devaki

Because, Dasaradha had very few years of association with lord even through Srirama lived for 10000 years. Even Vadsudeva and Devaki couldn't take care of lord when he manifested as Sri Krishna

All these souls were longing to get associated with the lord again

Lord Brahma played a strategy here...He manifested a sleep-less Tamarind tree (Unnidra Tintrini Vruksha) out of the fathers.

and a snake house out of those mother Jeevas. These were manifested on Tirumala hill..

why because Lord Vishnu will descend to earth right here due to the magnetic pull of his ex parents affection

Strategy 2: Place is ready, how to descend Lord Vishnu to earth? Brahma used his son Narada Maharshi for this purpose

Narada went & triggered the angry sage "Bhrugu"...Bhrugu went and hit Lord Vishnu on his chest where Sri Lakshmi resides. Goddess Lakshmi  got angry and descended to earth and reached Kolhapur.

In search of her, Lord came to earth and got pulled towards Tirumala and stayed in this snake house, that was manifested out of his ex-parents.

You all know the story of Balaji after this, the episode of Balaji's marriage,   after Lord Balaji's marriage with Goddess Padmavathi, he stayed at sage Agastya's Ashram for 6 months.

At that period, Lord Balaji's father in law "Akasha Raju" passed away

Balaji ordered his father in law's brother "King Thondaman" to build "Ananda Nilayam" on Tirumala hill so that he could stay with his newly married wife

 Thondaman

These two, A tribal and Ranga Dasu were none other than the previous lives of King Thondaman...

That's why Lord was tightly bonded to King Thondaman who was his close devotee for several janmas (births) by then.

This is how the life cycle transforms, if we put our efforts into serving Lord in any form knowingly or unknowingly

Lord put 2 conditions to build that Ananda Nilayam.

1) Not to destroy that Tamarind tree which was his favorite

2) There was another champak tree which was the embodiment of Sri lakshmi. 

He told Thondaman not to cut down these trees while building it...

Then Thodaman builds Ananda Nilayam without destroying those 2 trees..

He digs up 2 wells at the same place where Sree and Bhu thearthas (wells) used to exist in the past

He could spot them exactly due to his past life memories.

From Bhu theartham  he dug up a tunnel to his palace.

These wells still exist at Tirumala today, Sree Teertham is at "Golden well" that we see when we come out of Darshan. Bhu theartham is in 2nd compound

Where is that tamarind tree today? It was there till the time of Ramanujacharya and Annammayya (They depicted in their poems) But is extinct in today's temple

Champak tree too is extinct today, but the second compound of the temple is named after that ("Sampangi prakara" - Sampangi in Telugu means Champak)

Lord Balaji then (in his physical form) entered the Ananda Nilayam built by Thondaman

Lord Brahma performed House warming festival which is celebrated till date as Brahmotsavas on the same thithi (day) every year

Lord Brahma also lit a diya (Lamp) called "Brahma Akhandam" which exists in the sanctum even today...

Lord Balaji promised that he would remain on Tirumala hill till the end of Kaliyuga until this Lamp is lit up every day without a miss.

He assured that he would remain in the same PHYSICAL form till the end of Kaliyuga

the secrets of the deity. 

King Thondaman made a big blunder after this. He made a great mistake towards a Brahmin.

(Thondaman made 3 mistakes in his life and tested Lord's patience.)

To cover up his second mistake, he entered "Ananda Nilayam" one night after "Pavalimpu Seva", through his secret tunnel without Lord's permission.

Lord was still in his physical form during that period. He was upset about the childish attitude of Thondaman and decided.

He decided to Vanish but realized the promise that I made to continue there until the end of Kaliyuga

He said, "I will appear as a Saligrama stone Idol (Deity) here for normal people, but

People will be in an illusion that my Idol is not observing anything, but I would see everything.

People would think that this Idol doesn't talk, but I would respond silently

My physical form would be invisible for normal people, only great devotees can see/feel it

At present day Tirumala, we have two parallel planes (Dimensions or Lokas)

The first plane (Loka) is what we all see and experience. A stone temple, an Idol of Lord, A lake called pushkarini and the priests who perform poojas and rituals.

Exactly at the same spots there is a second parallel dimension (Plane/Loka) at Tirumala

There exists Lord in Physical form (as he promised), real Ananda Nilayam, Brahma and Gods performing Poojas, Suprabhatams and other utsavams...

That means, we have 2 dimensions (Lokas) at Tirumala at exactly the same place today...One is visible to us second is invisible.

That's why Annamacharya could sing in his songs as if he was experiencing Brahma and other Devatas there. That's why those devotees were longing to get there.

The same applies to Pushkarini as well. We see a lake called Pushkarini, but at the same spot another divine lake exists at a different dimension.

This is the secret behind those two temples, one visible and the other one invisible...

 

Where is that third temple and idol built by Vishwakarma & Shankana now?

They still exist at Tirumala even today. Sri Ramana Deekshitulu the priest of Tirumala Temple?

He is a blessed soul who has been worshiping the main deity for 40+ years...

In one of his  interviews with a Youtube channel, he revealed that there is a secret temple that exists at Tirumala.

It has a secret approach path from the main temple itself, only the priest families are aware of "where that secret path is."
