Tirumala Tirupati

Welcome to Adiyen Sri Ramanuja Dasan !

" Srimathe Ramanujaya Namaha !"

67. Q .: At what peroid the moola vighra was found by Sri. Gopinatha Dheeshitulu.

Ans .: To find details about Lord Venkateswara and the time of happenings, we 've only one source that is Venkatachala Mahatyam which is a part of 10 puranas out of Astadasa Puranas (18 puranas written by Sage Vedavyasa). So based on this Venkatachala Mahatyam as said in Brahma Puranam,

The vaikhanasa Priest Gopinatha Deekshitulu was living in a CHOLA ( See wikipedia for more details) country on the banks of river Haridra and his name is initially dvijavara. He was an Archaka of a Sri Krishna Temple there. The chola king ruling at that time is Dhruta Varma. In 25th Vaivasvatha Manvantaram Lord Vishnu incarnated as Sri Krishna. So this Gopinatha started a penance to have the darsan of Sri Krishna and the Krishna (Lord Vishnu) pleased by his penance told him that " As a Vaikhanasa u'r duty is to worship Lord Vishnu which pleases me and liked by me, this is a secret in Sastras, So now u go to Venkatachala Hill now immediately and worship my idol which is there along with Goddess Lakshmi. That idol is on the banks of Swami Pushkarini.

And lord has also suggested that as soon as u reach Venkatachalam, Rangadasa(pot maker) who was living in Pandya Country that time will meet u for helping in my kainkaryam as ordered to him by me. u do my worship by taking his help and from now onwards u'll be called 'Gopinatha Deekshitulu'. Gopinatha went to Seshachalam and met Rangadasa there and both exchaged the order given to them by lord, they found the anthill under a tamarind tree and placed the idol to the south of Swami Pushkarini and then rangadasa constructed a temporary temple with 4 pillars and a plain roof. By then Gopinatha is worshipping Lord Venkateswara according to Vaikhanasa Bhagavat Sastram and Ranadasa helping him by getting Flowers,Tulasi needed for Lord's Puja.

68. Q .: When did lord walked around the hills accepting the sevas of vakuladevi and marrying Padmavathi.

Ans .: We can assume from this that Lord accepted the sevas of Vakula Matha and marrying happened before this Chola period, but time not known exactly.

69. Q .: When was the land granted to srinivasa by varaha swamy.

Ans .: This land granted by Varaha Swamy is in the time, before the period of Ans. 68 .
