Vast stretches of dried-up crops, stunted castor and millets, this once a naturally endowed
fertile village in Ranga Reddy District was presenting such a drastic picture which was a contrast
to its past glory.
With the situation turning worse, men women and children, have started migrating for work.
This situation was similar in almost all the Villages in Telangana, Rayalaseema areas. The
drought situation was grim and unparalleled. It was unusual in the Kharif season. It was the
third consecutive year that the state was facing a severe drought and in several areas the crops
had withered away. Most of the water sources including tanks and bore wells had dried up.
Women were forced to walk four to five kilometers for fetching drinking water. A large number of
people were migrating in search of work. Cattle were dying without fodder. Power supply was
poor. It would be difficult to enlist the sufferings of the people further.
In the Vedas from Taittiriya Samhita 2nd Kanda, it is mentioned about one long verse that
if recited with devotion in waist deep water, it could bring bountiful of rains.
Yes, this mantra was named as Varuna Mantram and the recitation was capable of attracting
rains. "Marutamasi Marutam......"
We decided to start the Japam on July 16th and complete 108 times standing in the waist
deep water of Osman Sagar Lake, which was adjacent to the Temple.
16th July will be the start of Varuna Japam at Chilkur said the press release in one of the
leading dailies, in Hyderabad. The grace of the lord was such that it started drizzling at on the
day of commencing the Japam itself.
Why cant they do this in every temple for the benefit of mankind? If I am not wrong, this
is the only Temple where such a Japam is being done in this trying times. said the Photo
Journalist who had come to cover the event.
In the sankalpam (Invocation) the ritwiks had prayed for filling of all the tanks, rivers and
all water bodies. They had prayed that if the rains fail the humanity will suffer and hence there
would be no yagams, festivals etc.
The devotion, the dedication and concern for the sufferings of the society were clearly visible
in the group of pundits who were reciting the Mantras. The environment was responding to the
devoted chanting. The sun was shining brightly. When the recitation started after the pundits
walked into the lake, people who had seen would believe; the clouds started forming on the
lake and it poured heavily and continuously. Even the illiterate villagers of the tiny hamlet were
touched by the dedication of the archakas.
Today if such a special puja has to be performed, the commercial angle always takes the preference.
The devotion and concern for the well-being of humanity which will result by performing such
Japams gets sidelined. With the result, the Veda Pundits also have become commercial. The
power of such recitations by them, which would be in return for some monetary benefit, gets
diluted and the benefits are not as has been evident at Chilkur. This dedication and concern
cannot be achieved by paying any amount of money in return. The grace of the Lord was immediately
felt as everytime the Pujaris stood in the Lake, it rained.
The archakas words have come true. Ever since the japam was started, the State has been
experiencing incessant rains.
Till the time this article was getting ready for print, we have information that all the Tanks are
slowly filling to their full capacity and the Power situation may be better with less blackouts
and the Government may be having a peaceful smile. It is the grace of lord Balaji at Chilkur
and Varuna Japam for the believers.

VERITABLE VICTORY
Sri V.S. Karunakaran, Chennai
During the days of their childhood, the three sons
of Kunthi and the twins of Madri had the fortune of
visit to the Ashram of their parents by eminent sages
like Bhrugu. When Bhrugu visited their Ashram,
Kunthi made her children prostate before the saintly
personality. When child Arjuna knelt at the feet
of Bhrugu, Bhrugu told Kunthi that her son will be
the star among the sixty.
Kunthi said with all respect, " May I know what
the great sagemeans by this?"
He said, Sage Veda Vyasa is coming here shortly;
he will explain to you what exactly I had meant."
After a few days, Veda Vyasa called on them. Kunthi
narrated to him about the visit of Bhrugu and asked
him what the blessing of the sage meant. Vyasa
heard her and exclaimed "Star among of the sixty?"
He thought for a while and then he smiled at Kunthi.
He said, Can you tell me the name of the sixty
years?
Kunthi said Why not? She went ahead Prabhava,
Vibhavha, Sukla, Pramodoota ..
Veda Vysa interrupted Please narrate them by
counting with your fingers like One Prabhava Two
Vibhavha three Sukla and list the names in their
serial order.
Kunthi went on counting the names with her fingers.
She said, "...Twenty Six: Nandana Twenty Seven:
Vijaya.
Stop says Veda Vyasa and added, Twenty seven
is the number that is connected with stars as there
are mainly twenty stars mentioned in Vedas. The
year Vijaya is the name of the twenty seventh among
the sixty. Bhrugus blessing that your youngest son
will shine with that name means this child will be
popular by the name Vijaya as he will be the Veritable
Victory.
What does exactly the word Vijaya mean when it
refers to a Year? asked Pandu
Veda Vyasa said this name is given to the year
among the sixty that represent the Kala Swaroopa
of Lord Narayana "The Time". Narayana is Veritable
Victory. Hence a division of Kala Swaroopa of the
Lord is also called by that name. I have also included
this name Vijaya as one hundred and forty ninth
in my collection of thousand names of the Lord which
will be narrated to your sons by your uncle Bheeshma
and made public at the appropriate time to be decided
by the Lord.

Dear Readers of VAK, those of us who chant this
name meditating the form of Lord Balaji at Chilkur
will be Victories even on our own selves and avert
the danger that follows anger.
Recently my classmate in Engineering College Shri
M. Mohan had forwarded to me an E mail which
reads as follows:Anger is dangerous
Remember that the word Danger has anger!!
Dr. Rajendra Prasad was the President of India
from 1950 - 1962.

ALTERNATIVE TO COMMERCIALISATION
-C.S. Rangarajan
Weak and selfish minds have mastered the art of corrupting everything. With vengence,
they concentrate more concentratedly on the good traditions inherited from the past. The corrupting
influence is so rampant and powerful that probably it competes openly with the omnipresent and
omnipotent creator.
Circulation, rotation, turnover - call it by any name - is natural to the nature. Whether it is
air or water, they flow unobstructed. Nature's thirst for water is quenched by the raining clouds.
Water absorbed from the entire surface of the earth forms the basis for the supply of water in
the clouds. Thus the water that starts its journey from the water surfaces, receives back the flows
of water - used, unused, misused, abused.
As in nature, so is it in human life. Production, Distribution and Consumption reflects the
natural change and exchange in almost all aspects of life. Commerce covers a wide gamut of
activities, reflecting the circulatory nature. Commerce, per se, is not bad. Commercialisation, particularly
indiscriminate and rampant commercialisation is bad.
Particularly in monetary economy and more particularly in modern times nothing is FREE.
Either the user directly or some one else indirectly have to pay for it; otherwise, no activity can
be sustained; no activity can be made more efficient and more effective. Probably, the only exceptions
are visible mother's love for her children and invisible God's love for His creation.
Money has to be collected, properly accounted, appropriately spent, honestly audited and
so on - Whatever be the area of activity as money constitutes an inescapable reality.
Temples are no exception. God may be an exception, but temples cannot be an exception,
as the omnipresent Nirakara God is considered as present (as Sakara) in the temple.
Money is needed for running the temple activities also. The unfortunate rampant and indiscriminate
commercialisation has resulted in the more discriminating devotee public, resent the manner in
which different types of services are available, at various prices, catering more to the rich.
A charge for everything! Higher the charges, greater the distance between God and the
devotees.! Devotees in general resent the tickets culture. While they are generally willing to
give some money as offerings, they resent the rate structure. Instead of love for God, the prevelant
practices create a fear for God. Social morality is the casuality.
Reports appear in News papers stating that all is not clean and clear and fair and honest
with administration in temples, particularly in money matters. A time has come when some serious
thinking, if necessary radical and unconventional thinking must look into the entire aspect of money
collections in temples.
Probably, the Chilkur experiment is worth considering in this regard. Upto 8th Dec. 2001 on an average around 200 devotees (local and outside) used to visit Chilkur temple for Balaji's
darshan. As elsewhere, in Chilkur Balaji Temple also, there was a Hundi and there were Harathi
collections also.
oz z z Mn XZuo@
ot Mn ou on:@@
Whoever offers Me with devotion a leaf, a fruit, a flower, or water, that I accept of the pure
minded man offered with devotion.
It suddenly dawned that can money and God be delinked? Devotees present, were divinely
inspired; decided to experiment; it is devotion and devotion alone that appeals to the Lord and
not the quantum of offerings - in whatever name and whatever form. They decided to discontinue
with immediate effect, the prevailing practice of Hundi and Harathi collections.
O Lord! your ways are wonderful! Unless it was your sankalpa how can such an idea knock
at the hearts of the devotees? The moment the decision was implemented you started showering
your blessings. The discontinuance of commercialisation dimension has obviously pleased you.
So are your blessed devotees. The number of visiting devotees increased at such rapid rate
that to-day, the position is: above 25,000 devotees visit on Saturdays, Sundays and Festival days
and atleast 5000 on the other days. Oh lord Balaji of Chilkur, you have obviously blessed this
experiment of Total de-commercialisation, shower your infinite blessings on your devotees. Shower
your blessings on administrators, politicians and all others who are connected, so that they can
study and come out with more creative, practical and more non-commercial solutions for the
complex problems of temples.
