TTD urged to build Balaji temple

 

The temple is believed to usher in prosperity to Amaravati

  Sri Venkateswara Temple hill atop in Vykuntapuram village in the Capital region.

Guntur: The proposed TTD temple at Amaravati, sought on the hilltop of Krounchagiri at Vykunthapuram on the banks of Krishna river is being considered auspicious as the river flowing towards north direction,  Uttaravahini, occurs at the place.

There is another 5,000-year-old ancient Venkateswara temple situated on the hilltop at Vykunthapuram treated auspicious. The All India Panchayat Parishad and Amaravati Development Authority sought the AP government and TTD to construct the proposed Balaji temple on the hilltop, as it would usher in prosperity to the new Capital, Amaravati.

AIPP national secretary J. Veeranjaneyulu said that besides ancient temple and Uttaravahini, the only Bhagavat Geetha Asram is situated at Vykunthapuram. He said that the Veda Parayan and daily puja rituals started  on the hilltop temple in 1650 during the rule of the then Zamindar Raja Vasireddy Venkatadri Naidu and Vykunthapuram name was given to this area as it looks similar to Vykutham of Puranas.

He said that the TTD and the government decided to construct a Balaji temple with `100 crores  in new capital Amaravati so the best suitable place for the temple is hilltop Krounchagiri.

He said 5 Sivalingas are present on a single stone in the Holy Kasi and similarly, 5 Sivalingas are  present on a single stone at Vykunthapuram. Hence, this place is treated like Kasi of AP.  He said that the Venkateswara Swamy temple on the hilltop is Swayambhu (self manifested) and 25 acres of land is available on the hilltop. He said that memoranda were submitted to the AP Legislative Council deputy chairman Reddy Subramanyam, chief secretary to AP government Dinesh Kumar and TTD officials. Mr Veeranjaneyulu sought construction of Balaji temple on Krounchagiri.

GUNTUR: The historical temple of Sri Venkateswara Swamy at Vaikuntapuram village in Amaravati mandal is set to get a major facelift.

The State Government recently proposed construction of a Venkateswara Swamy temple by the Tirumala Tirupati Devasthanams (TTD) in the capital region Amaravati.

Initially, it was mooted to construct the temple near Pavitra Sangamam Ghat at Ibrahimpatnam on the banks of Krishna river. However, there has been a strong demand from Guntur district to consider the ancient Venkateswara Swamy temple at Vaikuntapuram for development in view of its historical significance.

The location of Vaikuntapuram is also considered auspicious as per Vaastu as Krishna river flows Uttara Vahini (northern direction) at the place after touching Krounchagiri hill.

Locals urged the TTD to construct a temple on Krounchagiri hill with `100 crore to develop the capital region Amaravati as a major pilgrim destination in the State.

In the wake of the demand, TTD Executive Engineer D Nageswara Rao and Deputy Executive Engineer K Srikanth Reddy visited Venkateswara Swamy temple at Vaikuntapuram on Thursday to study the proposal for the development of the shrine. The engineers said they would submit a report to the TTD and the State Government on the temple development plan.

Endowments Deputy Commissioner MV Suresh Babu already informed the temple significance and its property details to the TTD long ago.

There is no ghat road to reach the temple on hilltop. Devotees have to climb the stairway to visit the temple. A ghat road to the temple would be laid as part of the development plan.

Vykuntapuram Sri Venkateswara Swami Vari Devasthana Sthala Puranam

వైకుంఠపురం శ్రీ వెంకటేశ్వర స్వామి వారి దేవస్థాన స్థల పురాణం

 

Vykuntapuram is a small village located on the banks of River Krishna near Amaravati bordering Guntur and Krishna districts. It is believed that Sri Venkateswara Swami along with wife Alimelu Manga is self-manifested (“Swayambhu”) on the Krounchagiri Hill at Vykuntapuram.

 

In the 11^th century CE, when Amaravati was ruled by the Kakatiyas, Venkateswara Swami happened to pass a message to Brahmin brothers, Chinna Ramana and Pedda Ramana, in their dream stating that “He” is present in a small cave on a hill northeast of Amaravati. When the brothers started paving a way onto the hill and through the cave, they discovered the stone statue of the Lord in the form of “Salagrama Sila” i.e., with a head, a “Sankham” and a “Chakram”. Later in the 14^th century CE, the rulers of Kondaveedu constructed a “Mukha Mandapam” around the cave and when they tried to give a complete structure to the Lord’s statue, they encountered incessant bleeding at the heart of the Lord’s statue. Then the Lord, in the form of “Aakasavaani”, announced that as he is present in a cosmic form without any shape, he advised them to worship him in the shapeless stone form and perform a daily “Archana” to “Him” by plastering the wound with fresh sandalwood paste. 

 

Later in the year 1750 CE, the then Amaravati King, Raja Vasireddy Venkatadri Naidu, constructed a full-fledged temple for Sri Venkateswara Swami along with a “Maharaja Gopuram” (similar to that of the Lord’s temple in Tirumala) at the foot of the hill. From then on, the village was aptly named Vykuntapuram. When a cyclone in 1977 wreaked havoc in the Krishna Delta, the “Maharaja Gopuram” was devastated. And over the years, the stone steps to climb the hill to reach the main temple have also been ruined.

 

Adding to the sanctity of Vykuntapuram, River Krishnaveni, the 3^rd longest river in India originating from Mahabaleswar in Maharashtra on the west and before meeting sea at Hamsaladeevi in Andhra Pradesh on the east coast, momentarily changes its direction and flows as “Uttara Vahini” (i.e., flowing in northern direction) after hitting the Krounchagiri hill. This lends a million-fold potency to Vykuntapuram and makes it a “Maha Kshetram” similar to Varanasi in the north where holiest of the rivers, Ganges, flows northwardly. Another similarity that can be drawn to the Varanasi temple is the presence of eight stone statues of “Anjaneya Swami” protecting the temple and the Lord in all directions making it “Ashta Digbandhanam”.

 

As per the “Puranas”, the “snaana sankalpam” at Vykuntapuram has been said as below:

“Sri Alimelu Manga sameta Sri Venkateswara Swami charana sannidhou, Bandha-viraama kshetra, Bhairava kshetra, Pancha-Linga kshetra, Sri Ashta-dikpaalaka Sri Anjaneya Swami charana sannidhou, Akhanda Krishnaveni Uttara Vahini snaanamaaham karishye”

శ్రీ అలిమేలు మంగా సమేత శ్రీ వెంకటేశ్వర స్వామి చరణ సన్నిధౌ, బంధ విరామ క్షేత్ర, భైరవ క్షేత్ర, పంచ లింగ క్షేత్ర, శ్రీ అష్ట దిక్పాలక శ్రీ ఆంజనేయ స్వామి చరణ సన్నిధౌ, అఖండ కృష్ణవేణి ఉత్తర వాహినీ స్నానమాహం కరిష్యే

 

Vykuntapuram Temple Steps Renovation Plan

 

One of the regular devotees at the Sri Venkateswara Swami temple in Vykuntapuram, Mr. V Kushal Ram (a Retd. Manager in Andhra Bank) has developed deep affection towards the temple, after having the privilege and blessings of worshipping the Lord regularly for over 15 years since 1997. As said in Puranas, “one who contributes to the cause of a temple is bestowed with divine virtues and blessings”, Mr. Kushal Ram decided to take up the onerous task of making the Lord more accessible to the devotees by renovating the hill-steps that were in dilapidated condition after having withstood difficult weather conditions for about 1000 years.

 

By October 2012, he formed a core team of like-minded devotees in himself, Mr. KV Subba Rao (a Retd. Manager in Andhra Bank) and Mr. Kutumba Rao (a Civil Engineer & Architect). Subsequently the team submitted a proposal along with estimated cost and due indemnity to the Endowments Department (ED) of Andhra Pradesh. Soon, the ED provided its approval and No Objection to go ahead with the plan to be executed in phases over a period of 3 years.

 

For the Phase 1, Mr. Kushal Ram was able to raise INR 10 Lakh in donations – 80% of which came from within the family and the balance from a close group of colleagues in Andhra Bank. The work for Phase 1 started by the end of November 2012 and completed by March 2013. Phase 1 constituted of constructing 72 steps from the bottom of the hill and laying a cement road for about 200 meters on the way to the top of the hill. About 60% of the expenditure went towards procuring the material such as pieces of rough Granite Stone, Sand, Cement, Concrete Chips etc.; Cost of Machine Work was about 25% and the remainder is the Labour expense. All avenues to save costs were explored, such as: – procuring Granite Stones from Phirangipuram Quarries near Narasaraopet at a subsidized rate, Cement from Macherla, Concrete Chips from Perecharla and Locally available Sand in the Krishna Delta.
