0:00 Sri Vishnurupaya Namahsivaya! On Tirumala Hills, there are four ancient mysteries that have existed for thousands of years. Despite numerous attempts by many people, these mysteries have remained unsolved. Let's explore these four intriguing secrets in this video. The first mystery is related to Kaaya Rasayana Teertham. There are many well-known Teerthas (sacred water bodies) like Papanasanam, and Akasa Ganga on Tirumala Hill. But, this one is particularly special and is mentioned in the Varaha Purana. Countless Sadhus, Sanyasis, and researchers have searched for its exact location, but it remained undiscovered.
0:45 According to the Varaha Purana, taking a bath in this Teertham possesses a unique quality of rejuvenating even elderly individuals into youthfulness again. Let me explain this with an example. About 20 years ago, a movie called "Anji" was released, and its story revolves around a Shivling. In the movie, there's a scene where the Ganga falls from the sky onto the Shivling. And anyone who swallows this water becomes eternally youthful. We might think it's just a movie plot. However, Kaya Rasayana Teertham actually possesses such power. According to the Purana, if you place a dried leaf in this Teertham, it will turn green. This is the only way to identify this Teertham.
1:40 Now, you might be curious about its location, but in the current age (Kaliyug), people have become selfish and might even attempt to sell the water from it. That's why the sages have concealed the Teertham with a massive rock. After sealing it, they granted a boon that meditators or Yogis could find its location and drink the water from it. Yogis use their bodies to perform meditation for thousands of years for the betterment of the world. So they are the only ones deserving of this access, as mentioned in the Purana.
2:28 Reciting sloka. Now, let's unveil its location. If you travel three miles to the north from Papanasana Teertham, you will discover a highly potent Sanaka Sanandana Teertham, which is quite challenging to find. In the Margasira month, on Suddha Dwadasi Thithi, during sunrise, if we perform a unique ritual at Sanaka Sanandana Teertham, we can attain a remarkable spiritual power. The Rasayana Teertham is situated near this Sanaka Sanandana Teertham, concealed beneath a large rock.
3:19 At times, I wish to offer the water from this Teertha to great leaders like Shivaji Maharaj, and Krishna Devaraya. I also wish to offer the potent water to the competent individuals who are governing our Bharata Desam wonderfully. So they can lead our nation for another 200 years without getting old, bringing in a golden era for our country. This is the first mystery. The second mystery pertains to a hidden temple in Tirumala. Initially, Lord Venkateswara resided with his consort, Padmavati Ammavaru on the Tirumala Hill. Then Swami instructed Vishwakarma to construct a magnificent 1000-pillar temple.
4:08 Vishwakarma carried out this task, and Swami resided there with Padmavati Ammavaru, as mentioned in the Puranas. However, due to an error committed by Tondaman Chakravarti, Swami transformed into a stone idol. The current temple was constructed by kings around 1000 years ago, and many monarchs have undertaken renovations over the years. The original temple built by Vishwakarma still exists beneath the present temple, concealed in a secret location. There is a tunnel leading to this temple, but many researchers have questioned the authenticity of this theory. Only a select few individuals close to Swami were aware of its existence. Ramana Deekshitula Varu serves as the main priest for Swami.
5:00 In an interview, he talked about a hidden temple under the current Tirumala temple. He mentioned that his ancestors used to discuss it and that there's a way to reach it somewhere in Ananda Nilayam. However, he also said he doesn't know the further details of it. He might know about it, but it's best not to reveal its secrets in the present age. This is the second mystery researchers have tried to uncover. The third intriguing mystery involves two stargates in Tirumala. These stargates are like magical portals that enable easy travel between different worlds or dimensions. In a previous video, I talked about one of these stargates while discussing the secret of Tirumala Mulavirat.
5:52 Now, I'll share information about the second secret stargate, as mentioned in the Bhavishyotthara Purana. During Sri Rama's quest to rescue Sita Ma from Lanka, Anjana Devi invited Rama to rest on Tirumala Hill. Rama accepted her hospitality and rested on the Hill along with the Vanaras. As the Vanaras explored the area, they accidentally entered a cave and got lost, finding themselves in another world. In this mysterious world, everyone appeared to be in black color, holding sacred symbols like conches, discs, maces, and lotuses resembling Sri Maha Vishnu.
6:38 The Vanaras were surprised by this extraordinary sight. As they wandered in this strange realm, an army commander instructed them to leave saying that they shouldn't be there, and guided them back to our world. This location serves as a portal or stargate to Vaikuntha, a divine realm. Those who resembled Sri Maha Vishnu in this world attained Sarupya Moksha, a state of spiritual liberation. The army commander was Viswaksena. Inhabitants of that world possess the knowledge to travel between our world and theirs. This is why Viswaksena guided the Vanaras in returning to our world. However, when the Vanaras attempted to go to Vaikuntha once more, they couldn't locate the way back. Then they informed Lord Rama about their experience. Reciting sloka.
7:30 On Tirumala Hill, if any unfortunate incident occurs due to the influence of Kali or if people commit any wrongdoing, Lord Venkateshwara Swami departs from the temple. He then returns to Vaikuntha through this stargate or portal as said in the Puranas. This cave still exists and is known as the Vikuntha cave. Located approximately two miles in the northeast of Swami Pushkarini, there is a well-known Tirumala water recycling plant. If you travel for about half an hour into the forest from there, you will come across the Vikuntha cave, amidst a coconut garden. To visit the Vaikuntha cave, seek the assistance of a guide since it's easy to get lost in the forest.
8:17 Getting to this location isn't overly difficult, but discovering the Stargate within the Vikuntha cave has remained elusive. Many people are still searching for it. That sums up the information regarding the third mystery. Now, let's delve into the fourth mystery concerning the Tamra Patram that's shown. When Venkateshwara Swami arrived on Tirumala Hill, he borrowed 100 feet of land from Varaha Swami to reside there. Then, he wrote and presented an agreement letter to Varaha Swami. You might question the necessity of such an agreement, considering that they are both incarnations of Sri Maha Vishnu. You might also wonder about how they both can exist at the same time. Once the Avatars descend to Earth, they are different and exist simultaneously.
9:07 This is evident in the Ramayana, where Sri Rama and Parasurama coexist. So, when Venkateshwara Swami presented the agreement to Varaha Swami, he also made a promise. Reciting sloka. He pledged that the first offering (Naivedhya) belongs to Varaha Swami, and devotees should seek Varaha Swami's Darshan before approaching Venkateshwara Swami. This commitment was inscribed in this agreement letter that's being shown, which resided in the Varaha Swami temple for many years. Presently, this letter is preserved in a large museum located behind Tirumala's Ananda Nilayam. You can view it if you visit the museum.
10:02 However, the language in which it was written remains a mystery. And numerous researchers tried to decode it but failed. This accounts for the fourth mystery associated with Tirumala. While we cannot see some of these mysteries, we can certainly see this Tamra Patram. So, be sure to pay a visit to the museum during your next trip to Tirumala. Sri Matre Namaha!
