Govinda! Govinda!! - Anyone who visited Tirupati Tirumala agree that pilgrims visit here with a material sankalpa to be manifested. They have to wait, sitting in halls and standing in ques, before darshan. Many of the pilgrims expereince their mind goes into blank (forget about their sankalpa) during darshan in front of the deity. But later they realise their wishes are fulfilled much more than they imagined, which bring them back to the temple with a higher sankalpa.
Why their Mind goes blank? The reasons are mere believes that i) the idol of Vengadam itself came from some other planet ii)consecration of the idol of Vengadam iii) the energy fields (devathais from other planets) inside the Garbha Griham. iv) Not only the deity, the entire Hill came from other planet
1.Lord Venkatadri from Vaigundam: The idol of Deity exist 1st Century BC or earlier. The idol is stated to have buried inside an ant hill. It was discovered by some cowherds and reported it to the King Tondaiman, a Tamil King in the first century BC or AD. He built a temple to house the idol. Whether the temple was of cut stone, brick in mud or wood, we are not told.
#It is a belief that the idol itself came from some other planet (or Suyambu?). It is difficult to make such a smooth surface on a black rock (Saligram?) by a shilpi. The idol exhibits high temperature.
2.Consecration according to Agamas: A temple is a place where an intense Cosmic energy is available for everyone to experience. Significantly, all the major towering temples of Tamil country built over the centuries have been consecrated according to agama rules.
#Kindly note that Agamas are pre vedic. Garbhagraham and ante chamber was built at the end of 9th century or early 10th century. Some reconsecration of the deity done by Sri Ramanujan ir 1130. At that point in time there was no Gopuram. Between 1330 till 1370, Sri Ranganathar idol of Sri Rangam was kept in Ranga Mandapam.
3.Energy Fields of Yakshargal, Gandharvargal, Apsarasgal, Asurargal, Rakshasargal: The temple has grown around the intense energy fields established by an enlightened master for the benefit of humankind. As rich man leaves behind his wealth for the next generation after he leaves the body, enlightened masters they leave behind the huge energy that they bring with them in the form of temples.
#It is a belief that the energy fields of Tirupati is by Konkanava Siddhar. Every day these devathais visit Tirupati. These devathais are not one - they name it as Yakshargal, Gandharvargal, Apsarasgal, Asurargal, Rakshasargal based on energy vibrations.
#The powerful spiritual vibrations present in Tirupatiis so palpable that even the most causal visitor can feels its effects in the form of peace, bliss.
4.Gravity works differently in Seven Hills: Not only the deity, the range of seven hills including Venkatadri (where the Lord resides), in Eastern Ghatts is considered sacred and believed to have come from other planets. Some sedimentary rocks, Some plants, animals like lizards, monkeys are not found anywhere else.
Law of Giving: Very Very important thing is that this temple and the God was well patronised by the Kings- Chola, Pandya, Pallava and Vijayanagara Empires of Saluva Narasimha, Krishna Devaraya and Achuta Raya. Endowment of Villages and valuable gifts are provided liberally by these noble kings. They have taken care of pilgrims who negotiated the stretch in the hills.
When maintained properly using the subtle powers of mantras, rituals and meditation, Tirupati holds and radiate this precious energy for over two thousands years.
This energy fulfilled the wishes of even Gods (like Sri Rangathar, Madurai Meenakshi and Kanchi Kamakshi) the great Kings (from Chola, Pandya, Pallava dynasty and Sangama, Saluva, Tuluva and Aravaitta dynasties of Vijayanagara Empire) and millions of his devotees like you and me.
Like an inexhaustible battery, Tirupati Venkadam temple continue to discharge spiritual energy to seekers, proving an unbroken connection between him and his people.
