Tirupati
Balaji:- Thousands of devotees from the Midwestern
states, especially from Chicago land used to travel to Pittsburgh
to have darshan of Sri Venkateswara swami. While the experience
was spiritually rewarding, the time and effort required to make
the trip was making it difficult for many to have his darshan
as often as their hearts desired. Many felt a void in their
spiritual lives and their discontent was wide spread. The state
of affairs continued until 1985. As a result of philanthropy
of nine families who donated 20 acres of land with a farm house
in Aurora (a far west suburb of Chicago), as a site for the
proposed Balaji temple, a beginning was made in the realization
of a dream of many. Since Sri Venkateswara swami (Balaji) temple
is an institution that has to serve innumerable generations
to come, plans were drawn on a magnificent scale related to
the means available and the needs of the moment. No pains were
spared in making its designs meet the agamic space requirements
when at the same time ensuring that it also meets the local
building codes, structural safety standards and the needs of
the community.
Muttaialstapathy, a noted expert on temple construction in India
collaborated with Sri Subhash Nadkarni, a reputed architect
of Chicago and a devotee of Balaji, and together they designed
the temple. This design is an excellent blend of ancient Shilpa
shastra and modern architectural technology. This design also
served as a model for other temples that were built later in
the United States. A unique feature of the temple is provision
for circumambulation (pradakshina) inside the temple not only
around the presiding deity, but around all the major shrines
inside the temple.

In the entire universe there is no place like Tirupati and
there was no Deity nor will ever be comparable to Lord
Venkatesa.

On Saturday, Shravan Shukla-Navami
-Samvat 1811, a miracle happened. A Jat farmer of village Asota
in district Nagaur of Rajasthan was ploughing his field. All
of sudden the plough was hit by some stony thing and the sound
- thlikk ... was created. He dug up the soil of that place and
found an idol covered with sand. His wife reached there with
his lunch packet. The farmer showed the idol to his wife. She
cleaned up the idol with her sari (dress). The idol was that
of Balaji i.e. Lord Hanuman. They bowed their heads with devotion
and worshipped Lord Balaji. The news of appearance of Lord Balaji
spread in the village Asota immediately. The Thakur of Asota
also heard the news. Balaji ordered him in the dream to send
the idol to Salasar in the Churu district. Same night a devotee
of Lord Hanuman, Mohan Dasji Maharaj of Salasar saw Lord Hanuman
or Balaji in dream. Lord Balaji told him about the idol of Asota.
He immediately sent a massage to Thakur of Asota. The thakur
was surprised to know - How Mohandasji knew minor details without
coming to Asota? Certainly it was a kindness of Lord Balaji.
The idol was sent to Salasar and was fixed at the place known
as Salasar Dham. |
