at one place. Since it is located in the heart of Telangana and close to the State captial, he said that
the temple had great scope for development.
Meanwhile, the Chief Minister also wanted that some changes be made to the main temple by increasing
the height of the Gopuram. The Gopuram will also be gold coated. Stating that the current constructions
on the hill shrine had made the Gopuram invisible to the devotees, he said that they wanted to make
several changes under the able guidance of Agama pundits to make the Gopuram visible.
The main temple mandapam will also be expanded under the able guidance of experts. From the
Brahmotsavams onwards, the Chief Minister himself will present the Pattu Vastramulu to the presiding
deity on the day of Lords Kalayanam, which in the past, the Endowment Minister used to do.
Expressing disappointment over the lack of hygiene, Mr. Rao instructed officials and local politicians
to conduct a day-long shramadan to clean the premises.
Rope in the services of about 1,000 TRS activists to conduct shramadan on the hills shrine, he suggested.
He further informed that he would make another visit to the temple in 15 days to see the clean premises....

Anecdotes on Vishnu Sahasranama - 164
REAL RULER
Sri V.S. Karunakaran, Chennai
Swamy Sri Gopala Desika, also known as Sri
Thirukkudanthai Desikan, is a famous name in the
history of Srivaishnavism. He lived in Kumbakonam
in Tamilnadu in the Eighteenth Century. He was so
scholarly that three sanyasins older than him in age
were studying philosophy of Sri Ramanuja under him,
he himself still was a grihastha. He lived the life of a
true Brahmin in that he used to collect alms in the
form of raw rice in the city of Kumbakonam needed
for preparing food for ones family for the day prescribed
as Unchavritti in the scriptures like Swami Vedanta
Desika (1268 A.D -1368 A.D) used to do.
He is considered as an incarnation of Swamy Vedanta
Desika himself. Swamy Vedanta Desika was born in
the star of Sravana in the month of Purattasi
(corresponding to September-October) by the grace of
Lord Srinivasa in Thirumala to his parents who prayed
at His feet there seeking a child. Swamy Gopala Desika
was born in the star of Poorvashada in the very same
Tamil moth of Purattasi (corresponding to SeptemberOctober) by the Grace of Lord Srinivas known as
Oppiliappan in Oppiliappan Koil near Kumbakonam to
his parents who prayed at His feet there seeking a child.
There are many other features common to both of them.
Swamy Gopala Desika desired to go up to Badarika
Ashram in Himalayas on a pilgrimage. The three
sanyasins and some other disciples accompanied him.
They went upto Thirumala. After having darshan of Lord
Venkateswara at Thirumala they came down and were
discussing the itinerary for their further tour to northern
portion of Bharath to reach Badarika Ashram.
This they were doing in the foot of hills of Thirumala,
where a waterfall by the name Azhwar Theertham flows
even to this day. The stairs to climb the hills used to
start from that point during those days (Presently this
point has been shifted). There is a temple devoted to
Venugopala Swamy by the side of the waterfall and also
a temple devoted to Nammazhwar. There is the temple
of Kapileswara also thereby. Personal deity kept with
Sri Gopala Desika was also Venugopala swamy.
This made Sri Gopala Desika feel that the Venugopala
Swamy in the Temple asking him Have you walked
all these weary kilometers to see me in Tirupati whereas
I have been with you always?
Gopala Desika was brooding over this and sitting with
his disciples in the temple of Nammazhwar discussing
further course of pilgrimage.
They were concerned with the difficulties they might
face in maintaining the high standards of the Dharmic
code and devotional practices to his personal deity
Sri Gopala Desika was used to.
Just then a Shri Vaishnava with twelve Urdhvapundrams
came there. He offered his salutations to Shri Gopala
Desika. Shri Gopala Desika also reciprocated the
pranamas as per tradition.

The Second Sanyasin said The sloka starts with the
word Yama. People will certainly get scared at one
having his name as Yama- the God of death! But how
come parents of Iruppidam Swamy chose the name
of God of death!
The third Sanyasin said In the verse quoted, Manu
refers to the Lord as Yama and not the so called deity
of death. He says the lord controls all beings in the
universe from within the heart and also from within
the sphere of the sun. He is the ruler of the god and
so the real ruler. If you have no quarrel with Him you
need not go on pilgrimage to the Ganges or Kurukshetra
Gopala Desika said The ruler within us has come
out in the form of this gentleman Iruppidam and has
guided me that I need not take the trouble of the
pilgrimage to the northern shrines with tension in my
mind regarding the convenience for maintaining the
standards of orthodoxy I have been following since
my younger days. Let me return to Kumbakonam.
He gave up the yatra and returned to Kumbakonam.
Because the Lord rules all of us by residing in us in
a fashion that we have no trouble but are always happy
as long as we have no quarrel with him residing in
our heart, He is called the real ruler that is Yama in
Sanskrit, as disclosed by Him in the disguise of
Iruppidam to Thirukkudanthai Desikan
This is the one hundred and sixty fourth in the thousand
names of the Lord listed by Veda Vysa. Nirukti sums
up this when it says

Madhura Vijayam - 37
kings who ruled this land, they did not interfere with
the religious practices and language of worship.
Because there were strong prevailing practices,
introduction of new practices were opposed by the
temple staff.
The two young men were annoyed with this opposition.
what is their objection when this recitations are
being done for Lord Rangantha as per his practices
without interfering with the practices of Lord of seven
hills? If Lord Ranganatha likes to hear Tamil
prabandhams he should be allowed to hear them.
Is this not customary to do so? argued the two
lads.
The temple staff were not prepared to accept their
arguments. Looking at the way the arguments are
going Vallabha looked at Datta and said If hearing
the Tamil Prabandhams is nectar to Lord Ranganatha
not allowing him to do so is equal to keep him hungry.
If Lord Ranganatha is hungry how can we partake
food? I will also go without food on the steps of
this temple having said, Vallabha went to Swamy
Pushkarani, washed his hands and legs and sat
on the mandapam facing Anandavimanam (Vimanam
of Lord of seven hills) and undertook fasting.
Even after seven days the temple staff did not climb
down from their position. Datta was disturbed and
thought about a plan. In order to get the attention
of King Yadavaraya who has gone to Chandragiri
he went to the Ghanta Mandapam and rang the bell
at odd time. His plan succeeded. When the odd
hour bell was heard by King Yadavaraya he was
worried and immediately climbed his dola and came
to Tirumala by evening. After hearing what has
happened, he summoned the temple staff.
Oh! Noble men. What is this? Will there be opposition
to the words of Yadava king clan? This tirumala temple
is developed by Yadava clan. When there was no
worship, my forefathers started worship in this temple
and brought to the present glory. Dont you have
the duty to abide by the law of the Yadava King? If
we have got a guest in our house should we not do
everything that he likes? Is this not our duty? Is this
not our dharma? Therefore, I as the King of this place,
request you all to allow Tamil Prabandham in this
temple for Lord Ranganatha requested the king.
After that request, there were some arguments among
the temple staff and some low voice resistances.
After that the King started again.
Oh! Respected men! I humbly requested you, but
you dont seem to realize quickly. Now I will have
to order. You have to abide by this! said the king
emotionally. At that emotion, the temple staff fell
at the feet of the king and requested Oh! King!
Please pardon us. The King responded by saying
I have pardoned you all. Saying this he went to
the nearby mantapam adjacent to Swami Pushkarini.

1.
EY|O{ otY| meaning one should
have a preceptor for learning good practices leading to
salvation
2.
EY|ut tzo uT E z meaning there
is none other than preceptor who is like God and
no one else can be believed in spiritual matters
3.
Vellaiparimu khardeshikar- As it is in our
sampradaya, Acharya is manifestation of Lord of
knowledge Hayagreeva and we have to protect and live
upto the values taught by him, all sampradayas have
the same dictum to follow and they are all doing so.
Since like us, all the other religious followers are
also devoted to their preceptors there is no need
to display hatred towards them. In the matters of
religions it is better to co-exist with them within
the ambit of broad commonalities. It is always good
to build friendships with all in all other matters which
will be beneficial to the mankind. The welfare of this
country is dependent on how we practice mutual
tolerance and friendship among all countrymen.
Sri Sannidhi Sampradayam (Sri Ahobila Mutt
Sampradaya)
We all have congregated here as followers of the
traditions prescribed by Sri Adi Van Satakopa
Yatheendra Mahadesikan, the first Jeer of Sri Ahobila
Mutt. There is no difference of sampradaya between
Adivan Satakopa Yatheendra Mahadesikan and
Swamy Nigamantha Mahadesikan who lived a century
before him. Rahasya thraya saarathinrasamuraippon
Rahasyammuppathirendumrasithuraipponare his titles
which mean that he is propagator of Swamy
Deshikans Rahasyathrayasaaram. All Swamy
Desikans sampradaya followers of today have
accepted the preceptorship of Sri Adi Van Satakopa
Yatheendra Mahadesikan. Such was his greatness.
In the same way all Swamy Desika sampradaya
followers have accepted the preceptorship of 6th
pattam Sri Jeer of Ahobila Mutt Sri Van Satakopa
Sri Parankusa Yatheendra Mahadesikan. Even after
that, till today also all SwamyDesikanssampradaya
have been together with only differences in the lineage
of Acharyas. Under these circumstances will it beneficial :
1.
If there are differences and hatred coming up
due to small opinion differences?
2.
Will it be beneficial to treat fellow sampradaya
people with disrespect or belittlement?
Some Vidwans are magnifying minute opinion
differences into big books and propagating them
to crystallise hatred and institutionalize them. People
who have devotion in SwamyDesikans feet should
not indulge in this type of downtrodden activities.
When multiple knowledgable people discuss about
items opinion differences are bound to happen. Under
these circumstances, the main dharma of learned
bhagavathas are to show the cause of unity of
SwamyDesikanssampradaya followers and co-exist.
The same holds good in the larger sense for Sri
( to be continued...)
Ramanujas followers.

BALAJI AS A BOY...
I work in the telephone exchange. My friends suggested
that we go to chilkur.
Five of us planned and reached Chilkur. It was 2001
and there was not many buses. We did not know of
this. We had darshan came out. We looked around
for buses or autos. This time you will not get any bus
or auto, they will be available only till 3PM said the
coconut vendors there.
We started walking ahead in search of a bus. It was
7PM in the evening. Few cars were passing us. It
was dark all around. No one was in sight. I was getting
afraid. If any wild animal comes? I started scolding
my friends for not knowing the non availability of
transport like bus or auto to the temple. No car was
stopping to give us lift. All of us were ladies. It was
fully dark and no street lights either. I was getting
nervous. I told my friends that I would not join them
in the future. My friends burst into laughter saying
that i was a big coward. We came further ahead and
stopped on the road. We were praying that someone
would help us with a lift but no one cared to even
stop the car. Now, my friends started worrying and
were getting frightened. "Oh Balaji Swami of Chilkur,
devotees pray that you are a most reachable God who
protects at the time of distress and shower the
blessings on your devotees... can you not protect us
in this darkness?? Please save us" I prayed with folded
hands.
Suddenly we saw a small boy walking ahead of us.
"Babu, where are you going alone in this darkness?
Please come here" That boy came and stood beside
me. "Is there any bus stop nearby?" I asked the boy.
There is a ROAD but no lights.
"There is no Bus stop here, it is slightly far away,
you come with me" said the boy and started walking
ahead of us.
"Where do you stay and where is your house? you
are going in the dark, are you not afraid?"
That boy said that he was residing in an ashram
nearby and he moves out in the evening and is not
afraid at all.
I could not see the face of the boy as he was looking
down all the time. In a few minutes we could see
street lights. "Look there, that is the Bus stop said
the boy. All buses go to Hyderabad from there." said
the boy.
I turned for my friends to tell them about the bus
stop. I told them about the boy who guided us. All
of them asked for the boy. That boy who was with
me all along was now not seen. We went and stood
in the place shown by the boy and in a short time
we could get the bus. By the time we reached our
houses, it was 11PM.
In the morning one of our friends told the incident to
her mother who was surprised and said you are all
lucky. The boy who came to guide you yesterday was
none other than Balaji Himself....
