1.The Message from seven hills
(Sapthagiri Sandesha)














 



1.The Message from Seven hills
Sapthagiri Sandesha
(Bhavishyottara Purana)
(The Epic replying to the future)
Kalyanadbhuta gatraya                                                         
Kamitartha pradayine 
Srimad Venkatanathaya                                                                 
Srinivasayatee  Namahah //
         O Venkateshwara! Lord of Seven hills
         Thou art pervades worldly welfare wondrous
         On thou art bestowal us our willful desires;
         O Srinivasa! We duly offer our salutations.

Generally it is opined that the big epics Ramayana and Mahabharata are the mythologies representing the human values for our life times. And most of our authors after attaining some years of experience would like to take one of the above two myths and rewrite to characterize its roles, in search of human values. My long desire was to seek out some other epic story, apart from the above said epics, and make research of such an epic story to the depth for finding out everlasting life vision, and  evaluation for all times for the younger generations.

The Inspiration
You might have visited to Tirupati. When I visited first time (1993) along with my family, I had been immersed myself in deep thinking. Why thousands of people are coming daily here to take darshanam of Sri Venkateshwara?  What precious things they carry back physically and mentally while returning, by offering Him vows and performing rituals? What is that power here which attracts thousands of people from all around the world daily? That was my first darshanam of Lord Venkateshwara with my wife and children. When I came out of the temple and sat in front of the temple premises, while eating the laddu prasadam all of a sudden had a flash genuine view about this legendary place, and learnt there is a Divine Message of Lord  from here to the Universe:That was my first darshanam of Lord Sri Venkateshwara with my wife and children. When I came out of the temple, and sat in front of the temple premises and while eating the laddu prasadam, all of a sudden I got a flash genuine point of view about this legendary holy place and learnt there is a Divine Message of Lord from here to the Universe_
Lord Venkateshwara is standing on this serpent hills as universal exponent, to explicit His Divine Message which derives from the origin of  Sathva the fortitude poower _ Sathvik Shakthi. It is marvelous and transcendental ever attracting the people from all around the world.  It is devotee’s strong belief on His grace, their problems will be solved miraculously and sincere desires fulfilled. On the Lord’s revelation_ Divya darshanam their minds become peaceful or peaceful three fold times than earlier before.

Our ancient sages were ascetics culminated on open knowledge seers and great orators. What they have contributed and delivered for Mankind are not superstitions; but superfine to overcome from sensual and materialistic passions. Masterly sages are creators of new era; with foresight for evoking the Sathva hidden in human beings. Thus our incited souls enlightened to self realization and God consciousness. Our legendary epics depict God’s inconceivable but solely cognizable discourses, useful for our future life.  Especially this epic called as “Bhavishyottara Purana” the epic replying to the future.

On looking nowadays' worst situations some may says desperately-“God is useless!”  No, He helps who help themselves. He is great; despite of man made calamities like water and air pollution, still giving us somehow plentiful resources, time to time rains and cosmic energy from Sun.  Some scholars say universe run on its own accord, there is no one to its entity. 
How man knew, whence this creation was? God only imparts wisdom to man who made money and many scientific inventions to live better. On the contrariwise he becomes too selfish to make this world as wicked! If still we are surviving, it’s because of the power of gentility that springs up from the divinity within humanity in the world!

We can find in our country “the best” and “the worst” examples. The fastest population growth is also a critical problem. It creates rate of ratios to vary on worst or best with the Tripartite Principle!  We can see in our temples in the name of Lord or in the name of Sevas rituals the exploitation of money is going on.  Devotees are silently accepting!  It is stated Tirupati temple stands first in this way of which made to follow other pilgrimages. God is not greedy!  Man  is greedy. He put a nick name to Him as "Baddi Kasinava" (Banker).

In my earlier days unknowingly I used to hate Lord Venkateswara is greedy for the money. I was reluctant to perform rituals and pujas. In fact He is the deity of our clan! Now He is my chosen deity! I never imagined that I write His epic finding everlasting life vision and evaluation for our all life times. On His inspiration only I had written it in our regional language Kannada as "Sapthagiri Sampada” published-1997. Based on the same, if this English version is up to the mark, it is also at His divine grace showered upon me as I am not a scholar, but to my sincere efforts His special force and order put me to work in this way of presentation. If I committed any mistakes that are mine, pour all those on Lord’s lotus feet. If anything is good and found wondrous by His grace only. 

For the people of this Kaliyuga, Srinivasa, Sri Venkateswara is an Avatar as incarnation of MahaVishnu.  Devoted people believe He particularly descended on seven hills to hear us graciously and bestow eternally. Though this epic has no big canvas like Ramayana or Mahabharata, but in its way has some similarities. In Ramayana we find Sathvik prabhu Sri Ramachandra, in Mahabharatha characters of Dharmaraja, Vidhura, Vibheeshana are examples for same characters. Likewise, in this epic story Vishnu as Srinivasa the Sathvik exponent descended to earth for communicating His same Divine Message.

Dharma is Universal. There is not one dharma for Indians and another for westerners. It is the genteel manners to put into effectiveness, but our politicians made it as communal. Present age of Kaliyuga was predicted to witness the down fall of Dharma.  However, various aspects are being picked up in isolation by spiritualists to achieve divineness, and the people finding its perpetuation.
