Vision for the future
In line with its core philosophy that the path of self-realization is through devotion (Bhakti) coupled with Service (Seva), Viswa Sai Dwarakamai aspires to spread this “Sai Tattwa” globally to build an integrated universal Shirdi Sai Baba family (“Vasudaika Kutumbamu”).
To anchor its activities and reach out globally, it intends to build spiritual centre for self-realization, inner peace and charity. The centre would also house a “Goushala” and “Veda Patashala”.
Land Acquisition
Viswa Sai Dwarakamai Shakti Peetam with the divine blessing of Shri Shirdi Sai Baba and Guru Vaniamma acquired land at Srimantulaguda, Ranga Reddy District (7 Kms from Mall and 4 Kms from Manthangowrelly), Hyderabad NH 19, Nagarjunasagar Road, Telangana to construct its Ashram.
The land is situated in pristine natural setting with greenery, water bodies, Deer's, Peacocks, birds etc., facing north with hills on the south side.
Blessed land: Existence of 700-year-old Hanuman Idol
The Viswa Sai Dwarakamai Shakti Peetam Ashram land when it was acquired had a pre-existing Hanuman idol installed in its precinct. Carved on a rock, the features depicted in the idol of Hanuman and research indicates that this idol may have been installed around the 15th century AD by Sri Vysaraja Tirtha.
Sri Vyasaraja Tirtha (1460-1539) is one of the most prominent saints of Dwaitha philosophy and occupies a very high position in the hierarchy of all the pontiffs. He is one of the ‘Muni Traya’ which includes Sri Madwacharya and Jaya Tirtha. It is believed that he was an ardent devotee of Lord Anjaneya swamy and has installed 732 idols though out India. Unfortunately, there is no clear documentation of all these idols, and some have either been lost or destroyed and many others exist but not acknowledged. Although he did not leave a name or mark on the idols, there are some tell tale signs that give us a clue to the uniqueness of the idols he consecrated.
Tell tale Signs of Vyasaraja Pratishtita Anjaneya:
- ‘Balada gante’ = bell hangs at the end of his tail.
- ‘Sougandhika pushpa’ = flower in his left hand.
- ‘Juttu’ = small tuft of hair tied up (2-3 types have been found).
- ‘Abhaya hasta’ = right hand raised above the head.
- ‘Demon near the feet’ = Aksha kumara (Ravana’s son) samhara.
- ‘Shanku & Chakra’ = circle and conch on either side of the lord himself.
- ‘Tail’ = being raised above the head and will make a semi-circle above the head.
- ‘Surya & Chandra’ = Sun and Moon seen on the top.
- ‘Kore hallu’ = a small canine tooth is seen on the idol.
- Eyes = every idol has both eyes even when facing to one side
There may have been many later additions which might have copied the original either as a mark of respect or to boost the standing of the deity / temple socially and therefore it is not possible to differentiate one from the other.
