Sri Kanyaka Puranam - From Sripada Vallabha Charithamrtham

Let's dive deeper into it...

Dhananjaya, the business man who gave information to Kulasekhara Pandya about the Swayamabu Siva lingam, worshipped by Devendra, acquired great merit. As a consequence of that merit, he was born as Kusuma Shreshti, the king of Brihat Sila Nagaram (Penugonda) and got Jaganmatha as his daughter. Virupaksha with the ‘amsa’ of Nandiswar was born to Kousimbi and Kusuma Shreshti, as the brother of Ambika. Śrī Datta Prabhu placed one ‘Hamsa’ (part) of Him in Virupaksha. According to the word given by Her, Ambika, Who was born in Brihat Sila Nagaram got the name ‘Vasavi’. Only Jnanis are aware of the fact, that Śrī Vasavi Kanyakaparameswari is Ambica Herself and ŚrīPāda ŚrīVallabha, the embodiment of Dattatreya is Sriman Narayana Himself.

On the full moon day in the month of Sravana, Ambica will tie Raksha Bandhanam to ŚrīPāda ŚrīVallabha. This is a Divine secret. It is not to be revealed to ordinary people. Even then, I revealed it to you on the order of ŚrīVallabha. On that day, if anyone has darshan of the deities in the temples of Ambika or in Datta kshetras, he will get the fruit of special merit. Siva and Kesava are not different. If any one sees them differently, they will get the fruit of sin. “Maha Prabhu! What was the reason for Ambika to take the name ‘Vasavi? Whom did She give a word to, to keep up which She became Vasavi Kanyaka Parameswari? Please shower your grace and reveal to me.” Śrī Siddha Yogindra smiled on hearing my request. He said, 'My Dear! I realize that you have a great interest in listening to words related to Gnyana. There is a restriction that Divine secrets should be revealed only to those who are inquisitive, qualified and suitable. We should not reveal these to disinterested or unsuitable people, argumentative people and atheists. Blaming Divine secrets and Divine plays becomes the reason for acquiring sin. “Srimannarayana has another name 'Upendra'. Once, Indra asked Srimannarayana, ‘Swamy! Because you have the name ‘Upendra’, You have become my brother. In that case, Ambika also should become my sister. She should also have a name which reminds my name.” Srimannarayana smiled and said, “Yes! Your argument has a good reason. You put this question to Ambika Herself.” Time was moving by. Demonic nature was continued to be destroyed by forces of Indra. To curb the arrogance obtained by the troops of Indra, Ambika took the form of ‘yaksha’. When Vayu deva reached there, ‘yaksha’ placed a small grass blade and asked him to move it. Vayu deva could not move it. Similarly, Agni (the fire God) could not burn it. In this way, the forces of Indra felt humiliated. But Devendra could recognize that it was not yaksha’ but the 'Para tatwam' Itself.

Because Devendra could recognize the ‘Para tatwam’, his merits were evident and enhanced. So he got the name of Indra. That ‘Paratatwam’ appeared in the form of Ambika. Indra praised Her with many stotras. Pleased, Ambika gave a boon to Indra, that She would manifest Herself in Kaliyugam in Brihat Sila Nagaram and take the name of ‘Vasavi’ which would remind his name ‘Vasava’. In accordance with that boon She manifested as Vasavi Kanyakaparameswari.

My Dear! Every small incident happens in accordance with time, effects of karma and a reason. Divine plays cannot be predicted. They cannot be comprehended. Before Srimannarayana took birth as Śrī Krishna to Devaki and Vasudeva, Ambika manifested as Yoga Maya. When Kamsa tried to kill her, She took on the Divine form of a lustrous entity and flew skyward. In Śrī Krishna Avatar, the Prabhu could not get the affection of maternal uncles. But He will get that affection in the avatar of ŚrīPāda ŚrīVallabha. If anybody worships ŚrīVallabha thinking that He is their own Child, ŚrīPāda ŚrīVallabha will be moving in their house as a small child incognito. If somebody worships Vasavi Kanyaka Parameswari thinking that She is their child and show affectionate devotion, She will be moving as Divine child in their house incognito. Sadhakas having pure hearts will hear the sound of Her anklets melodiously. This is the absolute truth in Kaliyugam. Vasavi’s manifestation and Her Story



Fortunately, I took bath in Krishna River along with ŚrīPāda Prabhu. After bath, ŚrīPāda created ‘yogagni’ with His Atma shakthi. In that yogagni, Kanyakamba manifested with a wonderful fire like lustre. For many days I tried to have darshan of Vasavi Kanyakamba, the sister of ŚrīPāda ŚrīVallabha. But for some unknown reason, I was not able to gain Her darshan. I prostrated myself at the Feet of Ambika. ŚrīPāda smiled and was looking very pleased. Śrī Vasavi matha resembled exactly ŚrīVallabha. Anyone who sees them will think that they both are twins. ‘In that great ‘kshetra’ (a sacred place) Kuruvapuram, ŚrīPāda Swami, Vasavi amba (mother) and myself were there. ŚrīVallabha’s ‘yoga leelas’ are endless. I was wondering in my mind where Dheesila Nagaram was and how it was possible for the dead Siva Sharma to do ‘Tapas’ with only subtle body. ŚrīVallabha said, “There is no limit for ‘Yoga Shakti’. The yogic paths of Datta Prabhu are very strange, ever new, unheard of before and unthinkable.’ After some time, a ‘dhampathi’ manifested with Divine glow from that ‘yogagni’. Śrī Vallabha told me that they were the father and mother of Śrī Vasavaamba named Kusuma Shreshti and Kousumbi. Śrī Vasavaamba was in dhyana mudra for some time. From the yogagni generated by ŚrīPāda ŚrīVallabha, Śrī Nagareswara Swami manifested. After that, the brother of Śrī Vasavaamba 'Virupaksha' and the ‘Gomathas’ belonging to 102 Gothras, who did 'agni pravesham', emerged from yogagni.

ŚrīVallabha said pleasingly, "Virupaksha was born with the 'amsa' of Nandeeswar and I granted My 'amsa' also in him. My maternal grandfather Śrī Bapannavadhanulu, who invoked the power from ‘surya mandalam’ into the Srisaila Mallikarjuna Lingam, lived in his previous birth in Brihat sila Nagaram as Raja guru with the name of ‘Bhaskara’. He was born as ‘amsa’ of Brahmadeva. On the day of pournima (full moon day) in the month of Shravan, I will definitely come to Brihat sila Nagaram. My sister Vasavi Kanyakamba will tie ‘Rakhee’ to My hand. My Dear Palani! My deeds, plays and great events cannot even be comprehended by anybody. Nobody can imitate them. Nobody can get My power. As the fruit of your intense penance, you could have the darshan of siddha vysyas, Vasavi matha and our parents Kusuma Shreshti and Kousumbi. Now this Kuruvapuram is going to become a big palace, Look!" Surprisingly, a great king's palace was created by mere will. We were all seated in simhasanas studded with diamonds. Śrī Charana said, ‘Gomathas belong to 714 gothras. The blessed men and women who entered 'agni' along with Ambika belonged to 102 gothras only. In the times of Swarochisha Manu, there were 18 towns devoted to Lord Eswara, the most important one being Brihit Sila Nagaram. If anyone of you who are devotees of Datta, has darshan of Ambika, Nagareswar and other forms of Divine in Brihat Sila Nagaram, you will get special merit. Wherever Datta’s name is chanted, Vasavaamba will live there incognito. She will make the devotee feel fulfilled. Wherever Vasavi Kanyakamba’s name is remembered, there Datta will live incognito. With small effort great merit is granted.

Previously when I was born to Atri and Anasuya. While Anasuyamba was swinging Me in the swing, she thought, "all are male children only. Not even one girl child was born with the cute features of Datta.’ As she was a great ‘pathi vratha’ and her will was very intense, it materialized immediately. When the swing moved to one side, the form of Datta was seen and when the swing returned, the form of Vasavi was seen by her. While she was wondering whether it was a dream or Vaishnava maya, Atri Maharshi came and said, “After doing hard ‘Tapas’ to witness the ‘Paramajyothi’ (the real Formless source of Thri Murthis) we could have Datta as our child. I realized that this is the ‘Guru’ form which is the source of the three Murthis. This indeed is the form of ‘Srimannarayana’. When the same form takes the female form, it becomes ‘Kanyaka’ form which is Adiparashakti. They both have been brother and sister from the beginning of Creation.” I would appear as 'yoga maya' and take the form of Vasavi Kanyaka. On the request of Atri and Anasuya, our forms got separated and Ambika tied 'Rakhee' to Me. The form which was born as Datta to Atri and Anasuya is the same ŚrīPāda ŚrīVallabha in Kali Yugam. This form, which has been in existence even before the manifestation of all the other forms of Datta, will remain concealed. The form of Adi Para Shakti existing before all Her other manifestations, is the same as Vasavi Kanyakamba form. So that form also is concealed in ‘Agnitatwam’. The dharma of man and the dharma of Divine are different. To see this auspicious form of Ambika, one should earn maha punya (great merit). There is a reason to call all of you here today. My form, being endless Supreme Consciousness is not bound by any form or name. I decided to stay in a ‘Still form’ like the limitless dynamic ocean having no waves. There is no difference to Me whether I am in a form or without form. So, I decided to hide this form today itself. Amma! Vasavi! Let Me hear Your word on this.’ I felt unhappy to see ŚrīPāda’s form being hidden so early. The Divine auspicious form of Vasavi Maatha looked at ŚrīVallabha with earnest devotion and said, “My most revered Brother! As there is no difference in being formless or with dynamic vibrant form, You remain in this ŚrīPāda ŚrīVallabha form for some more time and then You can conceal it. Have compassion on real sadhakas so that they will be able to see this Divine auspicious form of Yours. Without considering the limitations of space or time, keep this form hidden from the gross eye. If You want to take avathar again, You can reappear with a new form and body. In that case, if You will, You can shower grace on Your devotees from a samadhi state when that body rests in samadhi.’ Oh! Siddha Vysya Munis! Chant the Vedas in the presence of My sister Vasavambika. With the sound of your sacred chanting of Vedas, the result of bad deeds of people in the coming centuries can be destroyed. Śrī Nagareswara, along with Vasavambika likes the chanting of Vedas very much. The white man, who is in our presence by chance, will be born in the next birth in the house of noble Brahmins, who are Vedic scholars in Himalayan region. He becomes a yogi and reaches ‘Shambala’ village. You drive away the evil powers present in the polluted air with the sound of sacred Vedas.” Thus, ŚrīPāda told them. Siddha Vysya Munis' 'Veda ghosha' was completed.

Śrī Vasavi Kanyakambica, Śrī Nagareswara, Virupaksha, Kusuma Shreshti and mother Kousimbi and Siddha Vysya Munis entered the 'agni' and disappeared. ŚrīPāda Vallabha blessed John. John said, ‘It is good to have a book on Sricharana’s life history’. Swami said, "In the coming centuries in accordance with your wish, 'ŚrīPāda ŚrīVallabha Charitamrutham' will come in German language also.” He assured John and sent him.

He ordered me to enter the gross body again. Saying so, He went to take bath in (‘prayag’) the confluence of waters. He disappeared. “My victory bell undergoes variety of changes and it will be interned in earth in the place of My birth, where My Padukkas will be established. As a mark of the arrival of victory bell, some earthen pots will be found in the excavations there. Very much punya is required to extend financial assistance to the Maha Samsthan to be constructed in Pithikapuram. Financial assistance will come only from an individual who was born in aarya vysya caste in some birth and had some connection with Pithikapuram. Non-believers, fools, pedantic arrogant persons, demand authority, or proof for everything. Desires are fulfilled by paarayana of My hagiography. All obstacles are removed, if one participates in any noble activity connected with ‘My Samsthan’ in Pithikapuram. If I am worshipped with devotion on the occasion of ‘My birth star Chitra’ troubles from debts will be settled. Marriages of young girls with suitable bride grooms will take place. Afflictions from devils, ogres, ghosts, and other unseen spirits are removed. Sraavana Suddha Poornima is the sacred day on which Śrī Vasavi Kanyaka tied raakhee to Me. Chitragupta writes great punya to those who stay in My presence in Pithikapuram on that day. I am an authority unto Myself. My biography is a standard for itself. My sportive plays are their own standard proofs. Why any other proof is required to say that Sun is the Sun?”

Kanayaka Puranam

“Śrī Kanyaka Puranam is there in the Sanat Sujatha Samhitha, in Skanda Brihit Puranam. Brihat Sila Nagaram is also called Jyestha Sailam. There were 18 towns namely Brihat Sila Nagaram, Niravadyapuram, Veeranarayanam, Vishalapuram, Asantamu, Narasapuram, Dhanadapuram, Dharmapuram, Jagannadham, Kalingapuram, Panchalapuram, Palakolanu, Trigunapuram, Bhimapuram, Ghantasalam, Peethikapuram. Kusuma Shreshti was ruling these towns with Brihat Sila Nagaram as the capital.

18 is Jaya Sankhya (victory number). In these eighteen towns, there were Vysya nagara Swamis belonging to 714 gothras. Only 102 were naturally formed gothras. There were strict rules by which the people of these 102 gothras, abided. The people of other gothras said that they would also follow those strict rules. So they were also included in Vysya nagara Swamis and so the number of gothras went upto to 714. The people belonging to 102 gothras, who followed strict austerities, used to live in Brihat Sila Nagaram. They were called Arya Vysyas because they migrated from Aryavartham and they used to worship ‘Arya Maha Devi’ (Parvathi Devi) and were following strict austerities, different from other prominent vysyas. The people belonging to the remaining gothras requested themselves also to be included in Arya Vysyas. Bhaskaracharya used to be the Guru of Kusuma Shresti. My grandfather Bapannavadhani was the same Bhaskaracharya in his previous birth.

After hearing the petition of people from other gothras, Bhaskaracharya said, ‘Dear people! It is not possible to decide the value without testing the eligibility. There is an ‘Agni Pareeksha’ (test of fire) before taking decisions, confirming the eligibility. People who pass the ‘Agni Pareeksha’ will certainly be given the title ‘Arya Vysya’. Otherwise, it is not possible. Is it acceptable to you all?” Everybody who listened to this, agreed. In those days Vysyas used to worship Parameswari earnestly. Due to intense devotion, some people used to offer their children to Parameswari.

Such ‘offered girls’ used to be called ‘goura balikas’. The boys were called ‘Bala nagaras’. There used to be a strict rule that Goura balikas should be married to Bala nagaras only. Bhaskaracharya used to give special deeksha called ‘chaitanya kriya yogam’ to Gaura balikas and Bala nagaras. They used to be transformed into yoginis and yogis from childhood. Bhaskaracharya’s belief was that, children born to such people would be highly virtuous, compassionate, selfless and righteous and their families and the society itself, would be glorious with wisdom. These 18 towns were especially sacred ones. Nagareswara Mahadeva was the Lord of those Divine towns and Kusuma Shresti was the king ruling those towns. Bhaskaracharya’s wish was that one new type of Creation should be brought into prakruthi (nature). As Kusuma Shresti and his wife had no children, Bhaskaracharya conducted ‘Puthra Kameshti Yagam’. Arya Mahadevi manifested in that yagna kundam and gave two fruits to them. As a result, on one Dasami in the first half of the month of ‘Vysakha’, on Friday in the Punarvasu star, Vasavi Kanyaka was born. As a twin brother to Vasavi Kanyaka, one male child was also born. They named him ‘Virupaksha’.

Vasavi Kanyaka is really My Divine sister. Previously Siladha Maharshi went to Himalayas while taking stones as food. He had darshan of Hymavathi Maha Devi and prayed, ‘Amma! You are the daughter of a mountain (saila puthri). Because I eat stones, I am also a ‘Saila Puthra’. Please grant me the fortune of being born as Your brother. Śrī Hymavathi said, ‘Maharshi! In this incarnation, I will marry Parameswara. You be our vahana (vehicle) as Nandeeswara. When I incarnate in Kaliyugam as Kanyaka Parameswari, you will also be born as My twin brother. I am gifting you the same stone on which I did tapas. You take this stone to ‘jyesta sailam’. At the time of ‘sankusthapana’, this stone should be kept in the pit and a fort should be built on it. In Kaliyugam, the Satvysya king Kusuma Shresti will build this fort. Later, I and along with Me, the pious men and women belonging to 102 gothras will enter into ‘agni kundam’ and reach Kailasam again. At the end of Kaliyugam, My Brother ŚrīPāda ŚrīVallabha takes avathar as Kalki; He will destroy crores of people with evil character and establish ‘Dharma’.

ŚrīPāda ŚrīVallabha will leave His ‘yathi’ form and manifest as Padmavathi Venkateswara. Śrī Padmavathi will be born in Simhala desam, Śrī Prabhu will be born in Shambala village. At the end of Kaliyugam, their marriage will happen. Śrī Kalki Prabhu will arrive at Brihat Sila Nagaram. ‘I’ in the form of Vasavi Kanyaka, and Nagareswara Swmai will bring ŚrīPāda ŚrīVallabha with all honours. I will also tie ‘raksha bandhanam’ to My brother as a token of love. Acknowledging the same, My brother will offer Divine ornaments, vajra, vaidurya and Divine clothes and perform our marriage grandly. Our Divine marriage will be witnessed by those men and women belonging to 102 gothras who would have entered Agni kundam with me. After that, we, (Nagareshwara and I) will arrive at Pithikapuram. That Maha Prabhu Who will be in the form of Kalki, will give darshan in the form of His previous avathar ŚrīPāda ŚrīVallabha, in the midst of thousands of devotees. My Dear! Silada! When our marriage happens, you also will take part as My brother, along with Kalki Prabhu, in the marriage celebrations and be blessed.’

My Dear! On the western side of this tributary kingdom with capital Brihit Sila Nagaram, Gosthani river is there as one boundary. On the southern side, there is Antharvedi. Godavari river is there on East and North.

In Kusuma Shresti’s house, there is a metallic hand for giving ‘mangala harathi’ and a metallic hand bell. Together they weigh 16½ veesas (1 veesa is equal to 120 tolas). Similarly, in the house of Bhaskaracharya also, there are metallic hand and a hand bell used for giving mangala harathi. They also weigh 16½ veesas together. This metallic hand and hand bell present in Bhaskaracharya’s house will reach Peethikapuram after My Maha Samsthan is established and remain many feet deep under the Audumbar tree, close to where Our Murthis would be consecrated. After they reach, My Charithamrutham will come into light.

My Dear! Tomorrow is the birth day of Śrī Vasavi Kanyaka. Moreover, it is Friday. According to the calculations in sandra sindhu Vedam, it is a very sacred time. You build one small house with dry grass in that place called Pancha Deva Parvatham. You go immediately. All the things required will be arranged. Tomorrow I will do ‘dharbar’ there. Woman seeking the blessing of ‘mangalyam’ will certainly have to take the ‘pasupu kommu’ (turmeric tuber) distributed there. The blessing of ‘mangalyam’ will be granted to them, who keep it in the puja mandir.

Tomorrow I will narrate the story of Śrī Kanyaka Parameswari in totality. All my devotees who come to Pancha Deva Pahad tomorrow will be blessed. It is due to the great merit from many births of yours, that you are able to listen to the incidents from the most sacred Vasavi Kanyaka avathar from Me. From now, I will do dharbar on every Friday. It can be at Kurungadda or Pancha Dev Pahad or at any other place according to My will. Every Thursday, Dharma will be taught. It can be at Kurungadda or Panchadeva Pahad. Many changes are going to come in future. In the coming centuries, Bharata Desam will come under the rule of Mlecchas and white people. The ways of fate are wonderful. Only by the flow of spiritual power, liberation will come to this karma bhumi and Vedabhumi. If Datta is not forgotten, Datta will not forget. Forgetfulness is like death. Remembrance will give new birth.

Visiting Virupaaksha in Panchadeva Pahad Śrī Dharma Gupta and I reached the opposite bank of river Krishna. It was afternoon. That day was Thursday which was very sacred when ‘ŚrīGuru Saarwabhowma’ received bhiksha in various places at the same time. Śrī ŚrīPāda asked us to construct a house with straw grass, that too in a single day. We were not acquainted with the area. A site was required to construct the house. House construction implements were required in that place. Straw grass was required to cover the top and suitable labourers were required for doing all these things. We were wandering hither and thither like aimless travellers. We entered into a field. The cultivator was constructing a cow-shed for the cattle. He was arranging a high pedestal in an elevated place at a suitable location for the landlord to sit. The owner of that place invited us cordially and gave us meals. We were hungry. We were in a doubt whether we can eat meals served by a sudra. That owner spoke harshly, “Oh! You stole our cattle and sold them in other places. Now you came again to see if any cattle are still left so that you can stealthily drive them away. For such of you who come with that bad intention, a peculiar doubt arose whether food from a sudra can be taken!” We then realised that the landlord had mistaken us to be thieves. We ate the meals with aversion. During the course of conversation, it was learnt that his name was Virupaaksha. When we finished eating, we were tied to two trees. I was a poor brahmin and made a living by begging. I did not have any money but, Śrī Dharma Gupta had money. The landlord ordered his servants to snatch all the money with us. The unimaginable Divine sports of Śrī ŚrīPāda We felt that there was no use even if we tell the truth about us. We became prisoners in accordance with the orders of that landlord and remained in helpless circumstances. Meanwhile some ‘mylaars’ (followers of a certain form of Goddess) came there. In those mylaars there was a sect known as ‘ganga kaavillu’. These people bring ‘peetas’ of Śrī Vasavi Kanyaka Parameswari. They apply ‘tripundras’ on their forehead and hold small victory bells in their hand; singing songs eulogizing Śrī Kanyaka Parameswari. They also carry metal vases of large size with narrow necks in yokes and come during auspicious events like marriages and the Jayanti celebrations of Śrī Vaasavi Parameswari. Besides these, another team of people called ‘veera mushtulu’ visit these places. They tie ‘prabhas’ (large cloth hoardings of multiple colours) to their hips and arrive making sounds of victory with the bells in their hand. Many insignia of warfare such as swords, shields, armours are displayed in those ‘prabhas’. Noble soldiers of the evil ruler, Vishnu Vardhana, became devotees of Mother Śrī Vasavi and joining with ‘Baala nagaras’ fought with Vishnu Vardhana’s army. The people in the families of those noble soldiers who were devotees of Mother Śrī Vaasavi are called ‘veera mushtulu’. As they were ready to sacrifice their lives in that sacred war on that day, the vysya kings honour them during auspicious occasions. ‘Veera mushtulu’ also arrived with ‘mylaars’ at that cowshed. That cultivator offered meals to ‘mylaars’, ‘veera mushtus’ and honoured them. Then he got us released and requested us to participate in the construction of cow-shed. We agreed. When all the work was finished, Virupaaksha asked me, “Do you know what is ‘mushtilo mushti veera mushti’ (seeking alms from alms, yet seeking with heroism)?” I replied that I did not know. We were given meals in the evening also. He commanded that we should guard the cattle wealth and sleep there that night. Afterwards he left with his band of servants.

We spent the night recalling Sripada Swami’s Name and His Divine sports. When we woke up in the morning, we found no trace of cows or oxen in the cow-shed. The cultivators nearby asked us of the price at which we had purchased the land. We told them about the things which had transpired the previous evening. They did not believe our statements and considered us as mad people. It could not be resolved which was true and which was false. Then a stranger came there. He questioned us, “Did Śrī Vaasavi Kanyaka take birth on Vaisakha Suddha Dasami (10th day of first fortnight of Vaisakha month)? Or on Sapthami (on 7th day)? Śrī Dharma Gupta replied that Śrī Vaasavaamba was born on Poorana Dasami thithi (full Dasami day) and it was Friday. On receiving the response, He questioned us, “Are you two lunatics going to that lunatic in Kurungadda Who is sitting without any work?” The conduct of that stranger was objectionable to us. “Even if the stranger spoke offensively, he has reminded us of our duty. We must go to Kurungadda immediately” said Dharma Gupta and we went to Kurungadda in a boat. We did not have money to pay the boatman. That Boatman rebuked us, saying “Now I excuse and shall leave you. It is your duty to inform even before you get into the boat, whether you have money or not.” The looks of the Boatman fell on Śrī Dharma Gupta. He took the rings that were worn by Śrī Gupta. Instead of keeping them with Him, He threw them into river Krishna. We reached Kurungadda. Having taken bath in Krishna river, Śrī ŚrīPāda was in deep meditation.

After a while, He opened His eyes. Seeing us, He smiled. He asked us whether we built a shed required for doing dharbar there. We narrated all the things that had happened on the previous day. He said, “My Dear! No one can come to Me without My will. Nobody will have devotion in Me without My will. I can make any rich man into a pauper and a pauper into a rich man in a moment. I can make a mad fellow into a healthy one and a healthy one into a mad fellow. All powers and Siddhis are in My hand. The farmer you saw yesterday was Virupaksha, the brother of Śrī Vasavi Kanyaka. The cattle-wealth you saw was the same that Śrī Kusuma Shresti had at that time. The Mylars and Veera Mushtis you saw were of those days only. The One, Who asked you in an objectionable language whether you were going to Kurungadda, is Myself. The One who came as boat man is Myself. The One who took the ring from Dharma Gupta and threw it into Krishna is Myself. My dharbar was built by Mylars, Veera Mushtis, Virupaksha and his associates. It was merely your good fortune that you also took part in that great good work. For Me, all the ‘times’ (past, present and future) are the same. All places are the same. I can recreate any incident of any times in any place; I can also create new incidents with some changes. My form of ŚrīPāda ŚrīVallabha will change into Śrī Padmavathi Venkateswara at the end of Kaliyugam. People who know that everything is in My hands, are indeed blessed.”

The story of Śrī Vaasavi and Śrī Nagareswara

The greatness of Pancha Deva Parvatham

It was Friday. It was the auspicious time of the birthday celebrations of Śrī Vaasavi Kanyaka Parameswari Devi. Śrī ŚrīPāda stepped on to River Krishna and walking on the water, He reached the other shore. We reached that shore in a boat. It was 7 ghadiyas of morning time. It was the auspicious time when Śrī Venkateswara Swamy receives ‘archana’ (worship) from Śrī Alamelu Mangambika. Śrī ŚrīPāda entered the cow-shed that was constructed the day before and sat in deep meditation. We also entered into the cow-shed at the same time. That was a unique occasion when the ‘durbar’ of Śrī ŚrīPāda commenced. Wonder of wonders! The body of Śrī Charan was becoming very brilliant suddenly. That great effulgence was spreading on all the four directions. His body did not appear as a physical body but as an image of effulgence. He came out of the gau-saala (cow-shed). Normally His shadow would be seen on ground but, on that day His shadow did not fall on the ground. Generally, there were footprints while He walked, but on that day, there were no footprints on the ground when He was walking. He stared at the Sun intently. His body was filled with Divine brilliance and that form of great lustre was becoming bigger and bigger. After sometime His form of Effulgence merged with sun. We saw with our eyes, the disappearance of Śrī ŚrīPāda. We saw a Child of Divine lustre in the orb of the sun. That Child came out of the sun and was coming briskly towards earth. When that Child stepped on it, the earth vanished from our vision. He was wearing a charming smile. Again, He saw towards the sun most intensely. Earth was visible to us again. He asked both of us to see towards the orb of sun again. We saw the Divine Form of a Child of perfect beauty and charm in that orb of sun. That Divine Child was of a feminine form. She was coming towards the earth with charming smiles. When the feet of that Divine Child touched the ground, the earth vanished from our sight. We were looking with absolute awe. That Divine Child smiled on seeing us. Earth became visible to us at once. Śrī ŚrīPāda held that female form fondly in His arms. Śrī ŚrīPāda was aged 16 years and that Divine Child appeared to be of 3 years. She resembled Śrī ŚrīPāda very much. She wore Divine clothes and Divine ornaments. Śrī ŚrīPāda and that Divine Child entered into the gau-saala again. Śrī Dharma Gupta and I were witnessing these wonderful spectacles with great wonder and excitement. A sudden fear cropped up, if it was real or a magical trick?

Our beloved Omnipotent Lord, well-aware of my feelings, said with a profound thundering voice, “Shankara! This is not magical trick. This is My nature. This is My Divine disposition. The moment I intend, sky will turn at once into earth. Whatever I will, Brahma creates in accordance with My ideas. Then varied revelations are made in the Creation. Forces of nature which are ‘invisible’ will be brought to human understanding through forms and qualities of Creation. When it is said that I am of the form of Brahma, it means that I spur Brahma to create. All the created living beings, and the created things are sustained for sometime. This is the function of Vishnu form. I am Maha Vishnu Who empowers Vishnu to do that! Saraswati is different and Maha Saraswati is different. Saraswati is the form of Knowledge relating to Creation. Maha Saraswati is Anaghaa Devi giving strength to Saraswati. Lakshmi is the form responsible for affluence bringing the sustenance of Creation. Maha Lakshmi is Anaghaa Devi empowering Lakshmi. The force of Creation is the form of Kaali. Maha Kaali is Anaghaa Devi empowering Kaali and giving Her strength. The form of Anaghaa Lakshmi Anaghaa associated with Anaghaa Lakshmi is My Datta Form. Anaghaa Lakshmi is the Divine form of Mother distinct from the combination of Maha Saraswati, Maha Lakshmi and Maha Kaali. Therefore, note that Anaghaa Lakshmi is the Divine Shakti supporting the three forms of Maha Saraswati, Maha Lakshmi, Maha Kaali and is superior to them in their integrated and individual state. Note that My Anaghaa form bears Brahma, Vishnu and Rudra in an integrated state. It is the base for those three and transcends them and keeps on the left side Anaghaa Devi, the personification of the three Shaktis. Anaghaa is a shaakta roopa (masculine form of Strength).

As a result of the Saavitrakaathaka chayanam done in treta yuga, My Divine glorious form based upon ‘Ardhanaareeswara tatva’ incarnated along with ‘vaishnava maaya’ as an ascetic in the form of ŚrīPāda Vallabha in Pithikapuram. Be aware that this form you see is in its real state, the form of Maha Lakshmi and Maha Vishnu. Know that the form of Padmavathi is having in Her, the consciousness of Maha Saraswati, Maha Lakshmi and Maha Kaali. Her form, however, is that of Maha Lakshmi. She is Paraashakti Who possesses the three Shaktis and is their support and yet surpasses them. The form of Śrī Venkateswara embodies within Him, the consciousness of colossal form of Brahma, cosmic form of Maha Vishnu, and pralaya kaala rudra. He is the form of Paramatman, Who is their support and remains far beyond them. Know that Śrī Padmavathi and Śrī Venkateswara, with their Maha Vaishnava maaya and Ardhanaareeswara Tatwam, are in the form of Śrī ŚrīPāda ŚrīVallabha.” Then I said, “Guru Saarvabhowmaa! Boundless love and Victory to you! You said You are Padmavathi Venkateswara. Again, You said that You are Anaghaa Lakshmi samheta Anaghaa. For a dull-witted person like me Your nature is not understood even very slightly. Kindly help me understand.”

Śrī ŚrīPāda is Śrī Venkateswara

Śrī ŚrīPāda said, “My children! My powerful potencies are infinite. My Divine nature has the tendency to manifest in many ways. Even though Maha Lakshmi and Padmavathi basically belong to the same nature; when She assumes the character of Maha Lakshmi, the nature of Śrī Maha Vishnu emerges from Me. When She takes on the characteristic traits of Padmavathi, I would allow the essential nature of Venkateswara to emerge from Me. When the primary nature takes birth with form and attributes, appropriate courtesies, worldly observances and restrictions should be invariably followed. This Supreme Power Who is My Divine sister incarnated as yoga maaya on the eve of My incarnation as Krishna and taking the form of a lustrous entity, flew skywards. Sages who did rich penance, yogis, and vysya hermits by the dint of their arduous penance made Her to incarnate as Vaasavi Kanya. I had to incarnate in Śrī Pithikapuram due to some special reasons. Witness the future programme to the full satisfaction of your eyes. You will understand the significance of My incarnation and the special sportive play filled with Divine delight and mirth. My dear child! Shankara! Write about all the sportive plays taking place today in this Panchadeva Pahad. Write about them faithfully in ‘Charithamrutham’ exactly as they are, and exactly as you see them. It will be a source of inspiration to future generations. It will cut across many serious doubts. It imparts new strength, devotion and enthusiasm to ‘aasthikas’ (believers of God).” While both of us were seeing in utter amazement, the form of ŚrīPāda ŚrīVallabha became a form of Divine effulgence and from there Śrī Padmavathi Devi, and Śrī Venkateswara emerged with supreme splendour. The Divine Child became bigger and bigger as we looked, the form of Devi Kanyaka Parameswari appeared as a Divine form of 18 years. The ‘gau-shala’ disappeared and in its place a magnificent palace appeared with luminous balls of Divine Light spreading its radiance all over. As we looked, the royal king and queen and all their servants appeared. We recognized the royal pair to be Kusuma Shresti and Kusumamba. The farmer we saw yesterday gave darshan in the attire of ‘Yuvaraj’ (prince). He asked me ‘Sir! What is meant by ‘Mushtilo Mushti-Veera Mushti?’ I said I did not know.

Maha Prabhu in the form of Śrī Venkateswara said, ‘My Dear! Shankara! Have you seen the sensitivities and traditions while one is with a form and qualities? One should meticulously follow them. Slowly you will understand everything. Breaking sounds emanated from Śrī Vasavi Kanyaka. I was afraid whether some ‘pralayam’ was going to take place. Meanwhile, the ‘prakrithi’ cooled and Śrī Vasavi Devi and Śrī Nagareswara emerged from Vasavi form. Vysya men and women came in pairs. I understood that it was the great royal palace at Brihit Sila Nagaram. Venkateswara Maha Prabhu said, ‘Shankara! The vysya men and women you are seeing were the blessed ‘dhampathi’ who did ‘Agni Pravesam’ with Vasavi Kanyaka. There you see Vysya Rishis belonging to 101 gothras. Meanwhile Kusuma Shresti said, ‘The great Guru Bhaskaracharya has not come. Labhada Maharshi who belongs to the 102nd gothra also has not come. Prabhu! Did ‘Garudaalwar’ not inform both of them?’

Srinivasa Prabhu said, “Father! Bhaskaracharya you ask for, was the same Labhada Maharshi from a previous lifetime. Now, he is in Peethikapuram as My maternal grandfather. Bapanarya and Punyarupini Rajamamba are witnessing these ‘leelas’ happening here from there, with ‘yogic vision’.” Meanwhile, Akhanda Lakshmi Soubhagyawathi Sumathi Maharani, Brahmasri Appala Raju Sharma, Akhanda Lakshmi Soubhagyawathi Venkata Subbamma, Maharshi Venkatappaiah Shresti alighted from a lustrous Divine ‘vimaana’ (aircraft) with subtle bodies and came in. They were welcomed grandly. As it was the birth day of Śrī Vasavi Kanyaka, Sumathi Maharani, Kusumamba and Venkata Subbamamba and other sacred women did ‘mangala snanam’ (auspicious bath) and decorated Her with ornaments. Śrī Nagareswara Maha Prabhu was glowing with extremely luminous beauty. He was also given ‘mangala snanam’. Srinivasa Prabhu said, ‘Vysya Munis! Eighteen Nagara swamis, blessed parents who entered the Agnikunda! Today is a sacred day. This is a Divine auspicious time. I have decided that the engagement ceremony is to be done today for the marriage of Śrī Vasavi Devi and Śrī Nagareswar. For that, I want your suggestions and consent and I want to discuss the details how and in what way to perform it. When Śrī Vasavi Kanyaka was in ‘Parvathi’ form, Ravanasura came to Kailash. He urged Parameswara to give him Atma Lingam. Bhola Shankar gave it. After that Ravana asked something which was not supposed to be asked. Ambika took the form of ‘Kaali’. Later the Atma Lingam also got installed in the earth at Gokarnam. But in Kali Yugam, a Gandharva with an ‘amsa’ of Ravana asked for ‘Vasavi’. You know that it was Vishnu Vardhana. You also know that Vasavi entered Agni and along with Her, pious men and their counterparts, belonging to 102 gothras, entered Agni.

Śrī Bhaskaracharya raised ‘Goura balikas’ and ‘Balanagaras’. Śrī Vasavi Kanyaka is also a ‘Goura balika’. It is wise to treat Nagareswara as Bala nagara and perform the marriage. Even then, there is a hitch. You have to solve it. After hearing your opinions, we will decide about the engagement. Śrī Nagareswar has no father or mother or gothram. He is Swayambhu (self manifested). But our ‘Kanyaka’ is absolutely devoted to Śrī Nagareswara. Śrī Nagareswar also is eager to marry our Kanyaka. While performing ‘Kanya dhaanam’, it is necessary to consider the bridegroom’s gothram. According to our tradition, Menarikam (marrying cousin) is within the tenets of Dharma. I will abide by your decision. Everyone was stunned hearing the words of Srinivasa, Who is the ‘pivot’ of this world drama. Goura balika should be given to Balanagara only in marriage. They wondered whether they should give Devi to Shankar Bhagawan or not? Devi too, intended to marry Śrī Nagareswar. They thought that they should ask for the help of the wise Maha Ganapathi to get over this difficult situation. They understood that Ganapathi Deva’s blessings and grace were very important for anything to be done. When they prayed, Ganapathi Deva manifested.

Everybody prostrated to Him. Maha Ganapathi said “Srinivasa! Vasavi is My mother Parvathi Devi only. So, there is nothing wrong in giving Her to Nagareswar in marriage.” Then Srinivasa said, “My Dear! Ganesha! You are a boy. You can understand Dharma and subtle Dharma clearly. You are ‘Ganaadhyaksha’. You are the Supreme among the three crore Deities, and You are the head of ‘pravrithi’ and ‘nivrithi’ ganas. So, without Your order, no marriage is treated as accepted by dharma. At the time of marriage of Parvathi, You were not born. In that case ‘Parvathi kalyanam' also was not accepted by Dharma.” The vysya elders were stunned. Leave alone ‘Vasavi kalyanam’, now Srinivas prabhu was raising concerned on Parvathi kalyanam itself. They could not say anything. Ganapathi said, ‘My Dear clever Uncle! I know Your subtle sports. You are sporting Your playful pastime, bringing about a small trouble in the marriage of My Mother and Father. Every human being has ‘kundalini power’. I am the One present in the ‘mooladhara chakra’. During Parvathi Kalyanam (with Parameswara) they invited Me as I was present in the ‘mooladhara chakra’ of Shankar Bhagawan. That marriage was performed with My acceptance only. So the marriage of Parvathi Parameswara is very much acceptable. At that time, My emergence in the physical world did not happen. But I am the One present in the mooladhara of all human beings and forms of God. Labhada was born as My son. He was Labhada Maharshi in Kruta Yugam. The gothra of Labhada is among the 102 gothras. When the gems of Ganapakulam - Dhana Gupta and Dhana Lakshmi ‘dhampathi’ entered ‘agni’, their progeny ended. So, cleverly, I begot Labhada Maharshi as My son. So, our’s became ‘Labhadi’ gothram. Because My gothram is Labhadi gothram, My Father Paramasiva’s also is Labhadi gothram. This Labhadi gothram is one of the 102 gothras. So Nagareswara is becoming an arya vysya. You say that You are the Brother of Vasavi Devi. At present, Labhadi Maharshi has come as Bapanarya. You take the permission of Your grandfather and find out if Nagareswara can be considered as born in Labhadi gothram. Then it can also be considered as Menarikam (cousin marriage). It is so because, Kusuma Shresti who was born in Prabhata gothram, has got relations with people born in Labhadi gothram. They are related as maternal uncles. I know that You will create such hurdles. So I allowed Dhana Lakshmi, Dhana Gupta ‘dhampathi’ to enter the ‘agni kundam’ and ended their gothram. Śrī Nagareswara can be given this gothram. While getting married, the bride groom should spend money liberally giving dakshinas and doing ‘anna dhaanam’. You are ridiculing that My Father has no money. I am giving one more boon from today. People are worshipping You for the grace of Lakshmi as You are ‘Lakshmi Pathi’. From now onwards, people who worship Siva with abhishekam will also have the grace of Lakshmi. The saying ‘Aiswaryam Eeswaradhicchet’ will spread on all sides of the world. People doing Siva worship at Shani pradhosha time, will receive auspiciousness in all the worlds.’

Srinivasa asked for suggestions from vysya elders. All of them supported in one voice what Ganapathi had said. With great pleasure, engagement ceremony was done for performing marriage between Vasavi Devi Who manifested in ‘Prabhata gothram’ and Nagareswara from Labhada gothram. There was Divine music and it appeared like a festive occasion. Śrī Vasavaamba said, “The count of 102 gothras is exactly 102 gothras only. It is a mistake to think that there is no Labhadi Maharshi gothram. The main reason for ending the 102nd gothram is that it should belong to Śrī Nagareswara Maha prabhu. The gothram in which I manifested should be considered as Prabhata gothram and Śrī Nagareswar Maha Deva’s should be considered Labhadi gothram. All vysyas will remember Labhadi gothram. Similarly, they all will worship Śrī Nagareswara. Even though I am in Kanyaka form, you should recognize that My Swami is there in every atom of Mine. Moreover, in every atom of Śrī Nagareswara, I am there. If I am worshipped and He is not worshipped or He is worshipped and I am not worshipped, there will not be any result. My Kanyaka form is only for 18 years. Before that I was Parameswari only. After that also, I will be Parameswari. If you think of Me as Kanyaka, I will grace you with experience as Kanyaka. If you think of Me as Parameswari, I will give you darshan as ‘Soubhagya Mangala Rupini’. The Murthi in Tirumala – Oneness related to Chaithanyam

People used to worship the Murthi in Tirumala as Bala Tripura Sundari. Later it was worshipped as Eeswara. Still later, it is being worshipped as Maha Vishnu form. The Bala Tripura Sundari in the Murthi of Tirumala is Myself. The One as Eeswara is Śrī Nagareswar only. The One in Maha Vishnu form is My Brother Datta Prabhu. This oneness should be understood as related to chaitanyam but not of the physical world.” Srinivasa Prabhu said, “Sister! I am now present as ŚrīPāda ŚrīVallabha in Peethikapuram. You should be there in My samsthan as My ‘ada padhuchu’ (sister).’ Ambika said, ‘Brother! This is agreeable to Me. Before this, You should come in Śrī Venkateswara form to Kanyaka Parameswari Maha samsthan in Brihat Sila Nagaram.”

The One Who plays His subtle sports - the world, a play ball in His hands, smiled. Śrī Vasavi Jayanthi was observed in a Divinely grand manner. It remained as an ordinary ‘gau-shala’ on the next day. We finished early morning chores and started towards Kurungadda.

The Divine teaching of Śrī ŚrīPāda

After reaching Kurungadda we had the darshan of Śrī ŚrīPāda. Following His command, we sat in His presence. Śrī ŚrīPāda graciously gave us the following message. Śrī ŚrīPāda definitely saves those who surrender solely to Him “My dear ones! You were fortunate to behold the celebration of Śrī Vaasavi Jayanthi. Time and place are play balls in My hand. I can change events which are to happen somewhere, or which are happening or which will happen, into past or present or future times. I can order space and time to appear as endless journeys. However, much you may try, you can comprehend Me only according to the level of your awareness. When you renounce all dharmas and take refuge in Me, Who exists as your inner-self and you perform actions in accordance with My instruction, I will shoulder all your loads and take you to the shore. As I can command Nature merely with a word, I will become famous with the name of Saraswati. People of this kali yuga are like Hiranya kasipas. Their problems, ideas, thoughts and ways are very complicated. They develop materially a great deal in the knowledge of nature and obtain boons from Mother Nature like Hiranya Kasipu. In consonance with all of them, I have to take an incarnation like Narasimha in this kali yuga, to protect innocent devotees like Prahalaada. Therefore, I will take another great incarnation in the Name of Narasimha Saraswati and make Gandharvapuram a highly celebrated kshetram.” The story of Kanyaka Parameswari Later He told us about Śrī Vasavi Matha. A tapaswi by name ‘Samadhi’ was a devotee of Jaganmatha. He was born as Kusuma Shresti. The ‘Adya Shakti’ was born as his daughter with the name Vasavaee. Vishnu Vardhana asked for something which he should not have asked. Arya Vysyas thought that it was better to jump into Agni Kundam and protect their honour. Śrī Vasavi gave darshan as ‘Arya Mahadevi’ with a Divine lustre to Her parents, and those noble ones in other gothra. Unable to see that great lustre, many people fell unconscious. Then Ambika withdrew Her lustrous form and became an ordinary looking Vasavi Kanyaka. She declared, “Mothers! Fathers! Immediately after we merge in the ‘Agnihotram’, Vimaladitya’s head will break into thousand pieces. You always remember the supporting God of Vysyas, Śrī Nagareswara Swami. The One known as ‘Vindhyavasini’ is none other than Me. You perform your duties - serve the cows, worship the family Deity and the Guru, offer complete surrender unto the Guru; and follow the path of Dharma. It is My Divine assurance. If you follow these rules and regulations, the music of My anklets will be heard in your hearts and houses. Lakshmi ‘kala’ will be glowing in you. You will be successful and get contentment and all auspiciousness in this world and ultimately reach Kailasam and be in bliss there also.” I asked, “Maha Prabhu! Who are the ‘‘dhampathi’’ who entered the agnikundam? What are their gothras? Please let me know.” Swami cheerfully said, “The people of 102 gothras only are called Arya Vysyas. One is relieved of sins, if one remembers the ‘punya ‘dhampathi’’ who entered the agni kundam along with Śrī Vasavi Kanyaka, Who is Arya Maha Devi.

Dharma Gupta asked, “Victory to Mahaguru. There is no Labhadi gothram in the 102 gothras You said. If You add Labhadi gothra, it will be 103. Prabhu! Please clear my doubt”. ŚrīPāda said, “Labhada Maharshi gothram has another name Dhanadakula gothram. There is one Kasyapasa gothram related to Labhadi Maharshi. In Prabhata gothra, not only Abhiramamba and Ramachandrarya ‘dhampathi’, but also Kusumamba and Kusuma Shresti ‘dhampathi’ did ‘agni pravesam’. Dhanadakula gothram related to Labhada Maharshi is there. Kasyapasa gothram ended. So, there were 102 gothras. When the marriage takes place between SriVasavi Kanyakamba and Śrī Nagareswar at the end of Kali Yuga, the gothra of Śrī Vasavi Kanyakamba should be read as Prabhata gothram and that of Śrī Nagareswara as Kasyapasa gothram. This is the subtle Dharma principle in this. As long as Śrī Vasavi is treated as Kanyaka, Dhanadakula gothram should be taken in 102 gothras.

At the end of Kali Yugam, Labhada Maharshi gothram should be known as Kasyapasa gothram. At the end of Kali Yugam, Dhanadakula gothram will end. ŚrīPāda Swami gave the details of ‘punya dhampathi’ who did ‘agni pravesam’:

After telling these details, ŚrīPāda went into ‘dhyana’ (meditation). We were also told to be in ‘dhyana’. Digambara Digambara ŚrīPāda ŚrīVallabha Digambara Jaya Vijay bhava Digvijay bhava Srimadakanda Srivijay •

Śrī ŚrīPāda personally announces the establishment of Maha Samsthanam ŚrīPāda came out of dhyana. Śrī Dharma Gupta asked “Maha Prabhu, Victory to you! Why did Vasavi enter agni with 102 ‘dhampathi’? She could have broken Vishnuvardhana Vimaladitya’s head into 1000 pieces with Her will.” ŚrīPāda said with a smile on His lotus face, “My Child! When Mahalakshmi came as Godadevi (Aandaal), she served Śrī Ranganadha with loving affection and merged in Him.

The speciality of Agni Vidya

Kusuma Shresti was a vysya rishi called Samadhi previously. In accordance with the boon given by Her in previous janma, Arya Mahadevi manifested as Śrī Vasavi Kanyaka. Agni Vidya is the most difficult vidya. A person had to kindle his atma jyothi, sanctify his 72 thousand ‘nadis’ (nerves) and many ‘upanadies’ and achieve transformation and express the power in him slowly and merge in Adya Shakti. Then he should get ‘sayujya sthithi’ with Adya Shakti Who remains as one with Maha Prabhu. This is Agni Vidya. This is a very tough Vidya. Living beings have 64 stages of consciousness. The people of ‘saabara’ sampradaya employ 64 saabara mantras to identify themselves in these 64 stages of consciousness and uplift the living beings. Dattatreya Himself is the Aadiguru of the Nathaa sampradaya! This form of ŚrīPāda ŚrīVallabha Who is present before you is actually Datta of yore! There are 64 squares in the chess-board. It is said that Śrī Maha Vishnu is playing with Śrī Maha Lakshmi, the entertaining game of chess. The inner meaning is that Śrī Maha Vishnu is witnessing the expansion and evolution of life of various living beings, who are in these 64 stages of consciousness and is granting them grace in their appropriate states of evolution and is enjoying the Divine game. Qualifications required for a man to evolve as a divya aatma

• The evolution of men depends on the states of consciousness. It is an inviolable law of universal mind, that man or jeevatma should transform into a Divine soul. The illumination of aatma-jyoti depends on the yogic methods, mantra, yagna, japa or other Dharmic rites, and philanthropic acts performed by humans according to their levels of perfection. The purification of nerves goes on according to that illumination. Depending upon the levels of purity of nerves, many kinds of physical, mental and spiritual faculties develop in human beings. Divine grace will depend upon the virtuous deeds done by them, when those faculties or forces develop. The auspicious powers of Saraswathi, Lakshmi and Durga remain in seed form in human beings and when appropriate situations arise for them to grow, Ambika’s natural grace overflows and gets expressed. Such situations arose in those ‘dhampathi’ belonging to 102 gothras when Arya Mahadevi was born as Śrī Vasavi. So Ambika entered Agni along with them and those ‘dhampathi’ transformed into ‘jyothi roopam’. Due to the power of the prayers of the people belonging to those gothras, they get attracted to them and their blessings will reach them. With their blessings, those people who invoked them will have contentment here and also peace, in other worlds. So, Arya Vysyas should carefully notice the specialty of this Agni Yogam and they should recognize the kindling of Agni in them in the form of Dharma and karma and blaze them. Thus, they should transfer the fruits of this Agni yogam to future generations. The Agni of ‘Dharma Karma’ kindled in one family will be blazing for seven generations. As long as that fire keeps blazing, those families will have all the eight types of aishwaryams (treasure). It is the ‘Agni’ which expresses things, which are not yet expressed. Due to the effect of great sins done in the previous births, people will have many types of troubles and losses and worldly problems. These can be destroyed by manthra, tantra, yoga, dhaana and righteous behaviour and one can get joy. Agni also changes expressed things to ‘unexpressed’ forms. The great sins done by jeevas go into unexpressed form. They express themselves again in the next birth. If one does a great sin or great merit, the major part of the result is expressed in this birth only. So, if men do auspicious ‘karmas’ in this birth, the merited vibrations

• related to those karmas will be taken away in unexpressed form by Agni Deva. They will get expressed in the next birth. According to Arya Maha Devi, ‘Agni Yogam’ has uplifted people of 102 gothras. The ‘Janyu Devathas’ who protect the seeds belonging to those Rishi parampara, will preserve those graceful, extremely auspicious vibrations. To get them into the expressed state in those gothras, one should do merited ‘karmas’. By doing merited ‘actions’ (karmas), along with the results of his merited actions, many more auspicious vibrations present in the form of seeds will also come to be expressed. As a result of that, even if they do small merit, they will get great result. One should understand that all this is Vasavi’s grace on those ‘dhampathi’ and the result of their sacrifice. My Child! As I say, it is not wrong to think that, taking birth in Arya Vysya family is a great opportunity. But there is a condition here. Having been born as an Arya Vysya, if one performs sinful acts, the result of those sinful acts will also be great. There will be the curse of those ‘dhampathi’ who entered Agni adding to the discontent of Vasavi Kanyaka. The result of a sin done by an Arya Vysya will be thousand times more than the result of sin committed by an ordinary man. To be born in one of those 102 gothras is highly auspicious and also highly dangerous. So, be careful. Know that Śrī Vasavi Devi is My sister. Also know that We both are twins born of ‘Agni yoga’ of Anasuya amba. If We become angry, all calamities occur. If We are satisfied, it will result in auspiciousness.”

I asked Śrī Maha Guru “Maha Prabhu! Victory to You! Śrī Vasavi Kanyaka requested You to come near Her devasthanam in the form of Venkateswara. Please explain its meaning.” “Shankara! Know that My Maha Samsthanam will be established in Peethikapuram in My birth place. You are writing this Charithamrutham. There will be some fools who question the authenticity of the things written in this. They will question how to believe that ŚrīPāda ŚrīVallabha is indeed Śrī Padmavathi Venkateswara. To give authenticity to the fact that Śrī Vasavi Kanyaka is avathar of Arya Mahadevi, I will be established in Brihat Sila Nagaram. This will happen before ‘ŚrīPāda ŚrīVallabha Charithamrutham’ comes into light. This is My will. Why only My Venkateswara form will be installed when there are so many other • forms? Do the people who install Lord Venkateswara there know anything? This is My leela. I will be there as Venkateswara. The people who establish the samsthanam do not know how ‘ŚrīPāda ŚrīVallabha Mahasamsthanam’ would be formed and how Śrī Charithamrutham would be brought to light. It is part of My Divine enjoyment to get My work done through most innocent and most ignorant ones. My samsthanam will be established by Arya Vysyas. I will get the temple of Śrī Vasavi Kanyaka constructed in Peethikapuram by the descendants of Śrī Bapanarya. Though this appears strange overtly, My devotees will be knowing the fact that Myself and Śrī Vasavi are brother and sister. My Dear! At the end of Kali Yugam, i.e. in Kali Maha Yugam, when Kali ‘antardasa’ is completed, and after the ‘Yuga Sandhi’ (the transition period) also is crossed, I will come to Tirumala in My own form. Later I will come to some other Divine places. I will come to My ‘Maha Samsthanam’ in Peethikapuram. I will take bath in ‘Ela’ River. I will visit Kukkuteswar. The Maha Siddhas and Maha Yogis who come with Me to My Maha Samsthanam are blessed. Shankara! Know that My Maha Samsthanam will be formed in Śrī Pithikapuram at My birth place.

Śrī Pithikapuram, Syamalambapuram (Samalkota) and Vaayasapura Agraharam (Kakinada) will merge and become a big city. Visitors in My Maha Samsthanam will appear like rows of ants. I ordered Virupaksha who came along with Vasavi avathar, to come to birth again. I will make him the ruler of Bharata Desam. After he visits Me in Peethikapuram, he will get the knowledge of his previous birth. Many, many strange things take place in kali yugam. A great ‘saadhaka’ hailing from Vasistha lineage will be employed as a priest in ŚrīPāda ŚrīVallabha Maha Samsthan. There would be no end to the Divine plays conducted with him.

• Every moment will be filled with Divine ‘leelas’ and Divine entertainment. I have to repay the loan to Kubera. Arya Mahadevi was born in the family of Kubera as Vasavi Kanyaka. She should be given in marriage to Śrī Nagareswara Maha Prabhu. I do not like to take the required money again from Kubera for the marriage. So I will show many ‘leelas’ to the members of Kubera family and sons of Lakshmi, to remove their problems and take money as My tax. It was Me Who gave wealth to Kubera. So, it was Me Who gave ‘Musthi (alms) to Kubera. Now I am immersed in a tremendous debt. So I am taking ‘Musthi’ from Kubera. The Musthi in Mushti is called ‘Veera Mushti’. Taking ‘Mushti’ with honour is called ‘Veera Mushti’.” Even thousand births are not sufficient to behold ŚrīPāda Vallabha’s Divine charming smile!
