Vyuha Lakshmi Tantra - Divine experience in Tirupati
I ended my Brazil trip abruptly. There were couple of Pujas and
Satsangs were organized. I cancelled it and came back to India. My
meditative experiences in the forests of Brazil were incredible. Strong
divine force was calling though.
My devotion and connection with the Lord Venkateshwara is my treasure. Such strong communication I had from him, that I was called back to India. There were other less spiritual reasons too. I changed my Emirates ticket from Dubai to Hyderabad in place of Dubai to New Delhi. It happened like so quick as if everything was preplanned.
Hyderabad to Tirupati and Tirupati to Tirumala, everything was like well organized. I used plane, trains, bus, taxi to reach the Venkateshwara Temple. Even after the long journey of 45 hours from São Paulo to Dubai to Tirupati, I was not at all tired. Got a place to stay in Aditya Birla House and was very well taken care by devotees.
It was such a blissful existence there on the divine abode of Shri Venkateshwara, that I was like floating. Importantly the Brahmostavam - annual grand festival was going on. It was really difficult to get the darshan as the VIP darshan was also closed during the festival. None of these things bothered me. I simply meditated beneath a tree in one of the beautiful quiet gardens near the temple.
It was almost evening. During the meditation, Lord Venkateshwara invited me for the darshan. I went to the temple. Through the special Darshan Que, I reached the sanctum sanatorium of the temple in 45 minutes.
The moment I stood before the beautiful, smiling, richly ornamented, idol of the god, it was a celestial hug that I experienced. I lost my sense of existence. I was merged completely. There was no I. All light. After few seconds / minutes / tens of minutes... I don't know... I was back to the senses. I was about to collapse. A temple priest was holding me for support.
There was quite a crowd around. I did not feel a single person around during this experience.
I managed to walk slowly out of the temple. Had the darshan of Bakula Devi. Had the teerth from the priests. I prostrated before the Vaikunth Dwaram. I sat on a platform near the Vaikunth Dwaram and started my dhyan. This was almost continuation of the earlier experience. The meditation was quite powerful. Communicative. The lord himself communicated me to go to the place where I was meditating before - in the garden.
It was quite dark out there. It was a Friday night. The moment I reached the spot of meditation, an old aged sadhu / brahmin / yati was waiting for me there. The moment I reached there the old man hugged me close. He was wearing the same Namam on his forehead. He slowly moved his hand on my back. Patted me. His eyes were out of this world!
He said, " I am Venkatesha. I invited you here to give you some important knowledge. Listen to this technique I explain to you in your ears. This Tantra is guhya (highly secretive) and has to be followed with utmost secrecy. Please follow this with faith and respect for welfare of the world. Not for own benefits." He explained the whole Tantra (technique) for quite some time. I asked couple of questions where I felt necessary. I got the answers. We recited few things together.
He said, "This is Vyuha Lakshmi Tantra. This is for Goddess Lakshmi, who resides on the Venkatesha's chest always."
We walked together to a milk shop and had a glass of milk together. He again reminded me the secrecy to be maintained and helping the needy.
As Shri Venkatesha was about to leave, I put my head on his feet. I have no words to explain what I experienced then.
I
got up. I was hugged again. He slowly moved his palm on my back. Put it
on my head. He murmured the words 'Kalyanmastu' 'Mangalamstu'
He walked towards the lotus pond. I was watching him till he disappeared in the dark. For a moment I thought, the Vishnu of resourcefulness has merged in the ultimate darkness of Shiva.
I came back to the Birla Guest House. Repeated the technique he taught, for few times for not to forget. I continued my meditation.... It went on till midnight.
Even after 61 hours of non-stop journey and activity I hardly felt tired. I felt like I lived bodiless for this time.
As per the instructions, I have just finished the Anushthan for 40 days in Rishikesh to experience the 'bliss of the other world'
Shri Lakshmi Narayan Namostute!!!
(The whole narration is my own experience. It is a limited expression than the actual experience - for lack of words. Readers may interpret it as per their level of spirituality / understanding)
Shubham Bhavatu!
