Why is a Swan (Hamsa) used in temple architecture

A hamsa can separate water from milk! It represents satvik quality of people who are able to differentiate between incorrect or unhealthy practices from right ones! Great seers take good attributes of everything around and ignore unnecessary aspects.

An elephant is mighty and exhibits valour. It represents rajasik quality of people who are aggressive and is competitive rather than collective in nature.

A lion is fierce and intense for its food. It represents thamasik quality of people who are only self-centric and do not care for anything else.

Beyond these three is a Lotus flower. It emerges from sticky muddy water, but is a beautiful flower. This represents an extremely great state of people who are amongst all such three qualities but do not get carried into them.

The dynamic fountain therefore is arranged to reflect this amazing set of characteristics of everyone in the world. 8 Lions lie on the bottom-most part, followed by 8 Elephants and then lie 8 Swans. On top of this is a beautiful Lotus in which Bhagavad Ramanuja is seated in honour!

We wanted to update you on the progress of Bhadravedi work which has hamsas being used in window carvings! Enjoy the update on the carving and the progress on the rest exclusively for all our donors and promoters…!

  • More than 30 trucks of carved material being shipped from Pindwara to the SOE site

216 Feet Ramanujacharya seated in honour on Padma Peetam is being held by 36 Elephants! These 36 elephants which represent valour and majestic nature are a part of God’s creation. At the same time, the tender and beautiful lotus shaped base is also part of the same God’s creation!

As Swamiji says, ‘Rough and hard teeth work cohesively with the sensitive and delicate tongue because they work according to your intention. Similarly, rich and poor, educated and illiterate, strong and weak all should work together for one common cause as we all belong to one big family. If parts of the body begin to fight, there is no YOU! Understand the differences and make them unite you for a stronger world!’

On the 18th of Jan 2018, several key team members, Jagadish ji, Prasad ji, Mikkey ji, Mr. Woo, and several other designers discussed the mechanism behind the fountain of water that will shower from those 36 Elephants holding the beautiful Lotus. Some decisions regarding the design and details were taken and will be presented to Swamiji for final approval. There was also an in depth discussion on the lighting around Dynamic Fountain, the Speakers (recommended 7.1 system).

All this was based on the original proposal and the direction of Sri Chinna Jeeyar Swami.

Bharath is a country that is based not only on what a brain is capable of but also on what a heart can give. It is built on the foundations of a kind heart that elevates one to a peaceful state. The Materialistic progress spiritual base can be harmful to society. It is equivalent to AK47 in the hands of a crazy person.

A mind that focuses only on materials or external growth will become selfish, dominant and can lead to hurting others around. However, when it is bound by a higher goal of spiritual enrichment, collaboration and collective work becomes easier and efficient.

Around 1000 years ago, Ramanujacharya spread the profound message of Equality, which is quite essential for everyone to believe in so that we don’t fight over supremacy. Today, we would like to revive those ideal thoughts, those great deeds in the form of an inspirational centre. We would like to reinstate those foundations so that the future generations can learn and grow into peace spreading souls!

Inviting one and all to become part of this noble mission that rebuilds us as strong pillars of a great future!

Do you agree that ‘Knowledge is Power’? Yes, But – Knowledge cannot become ‘right power’ until it is used in empowering others. It cannot become ‘right power’ unless it is utilised in transforming one to be ‘giving’. It cannot become ‘right power’ until one realises the limitations of it.

Ramanujacharya had done all the above and therefore, a true Inspiration! He is like that ‘Sun’ who eliminates the ‘darkness’ of ignorance and makes lotus flowers of knowledge ‘blossom’ within us.

Today, Sri Chinna Jeeyar Swami visited the Sri Ramanuja Sahasrabdi, SRS site to examine and review the work w.r.t the fountain. This fountain is a physical representation of the sloka above. Swamiji is giving us all an opportunity to ‘shower’ gratitude on Ramanujacharya who shared with us the essence of Knowledge.

Key aspects reviewed by Swamiji include but are not limited to:

  • Positioning of lotuses
  • Mechanism behind the opening and closing of the flowers
  • Emerging and retreating of Ramanujacharya’s deity from the Sun like structure
  • The finalisation of antique shade for the elements and structures used in the fountain
  • Control command room under the fountain

Samudrala Ranga Ramanujacharya Garu and Purushottham Rao Garu also accompanied Swamiji. Gopi Garu along with several devotees were along to facilitate the inspection. Chief Architect, Sthapathy – Sriman Prasad garu was along with Swamiji taking feedback to get it incorporated. As always, he was kind enough to share with us all the information on the progress of the site.

Swamiji also distributed delicious sweets to honour and appreciate the work force. HH also wished them well for the upcoming happy festive season of Sankranti.

Dignitaries Kathy Sheehan Hon Mayor of Albany City, Jeff Quain, Capital Region Representative and Phil Barrett, Town Supervisor- Albany and other community leaders not only embraced Swamiji’s message of equality, but also encouraged the society at large to take part in the same.

Guru asked Yudhishtar to go around the kingdom and get the list of bad people. Guru asked Dhuryodhan also to go around the kingdom and get the list of good people.

Guess what? Both returned with empty lists. Neither Yudhishtar found a single bad person nor Dhuryodhan found a single good person in the same kingdom.

It is the eye with which you see a fellow being that makes you identify him as good and bad.

A good heart increases your ability to see the pains and agonies in the people around you. Bhagavad Ramanujacharya was blessed with such a good heart that he could not take the pain of anyone around him. He understood the feelings of a person without having to be explicitly stated. He gave away the greatest secrets and the best of the knowledge as soon as he discovered that it will help people alleviate from miseries. He came forward to help everyone’s socio-economic status by enriching their knowledge levels and worked towards giving opportunities to grow.

Several leaders such as Martin Luther King, Nelson Madela, Abhrahim Lincoln had good hearts that enabled them to see pains of their communities and lifted them up.

Bhagavad Ramanujacharya looked upon everyone as equal in the Eyes of Lord and therefore everyone deserved the best.

Gurus such as Ramanujacharya maintain their purity while still living in this egotistic world. They bless us with good virtues and uplift us to greater extents. They act as magnets. If an iron piece is connected to the magnet, it will begin to possess the abilities of the magnet. Similarly as long we are connected to such Gurus, our abilities to do good work, to serve the world will increase.

Let us rise to the occasion of remembering such an inspiring Guru and take part in completing our project, Statue of Equality as a token of gratitude for HIS benevolence!

– From the discourse of Sri Chinna Jeeyar Swami in Houston, USA on 26th Nov’2018

HH Swamiji is travelling over many places in the USA such as New Jersey, Florida, South Carolina, Atlanta, Houston, Dallas and many others to spread the wisdom as given by the greatest spiritual leader and social reformer – Bhagavad Ramanujacharya!

Polishing of the Statue underway and Dynamic Fountain work picks up pace!

Highlights of the recent work at the SRS (Sri Ramanujaj Sahasrabdi) site:

  • Installation of copper plates for the Tridandam is complete
  • Polishing of the Tridandam is in progress
  • The secondary polish of the 10th to 12th level of the body, thirumeni is complete
  • Additional workforce reaching the site to pick up on Dynamic Fountain job
  • Provider gave 8 options with pros and cons for the Dynamic Mountain
  • More than 7,500 sq. metres of construction complete for Bhadravedi Complex, area under the Statue
  • 108 Divya Desams – Few aspirants have come forward to take up 4 Divya Desams construction
  • Lighting in Bhadravedi – Electrical work is in progress; about 65% complete

This extremely humongous effort initiated by Sri Chinna Jeeyar Swami is unimaginable for many saints, scholars, leaders, and professionals in all areas. Many of them say, ‘It is becoming a reality because of the pure intent of Sri Swamiji and the resulting selfless benefits of the endeavour.’ However, Swamiji always says, ‘The project belongs to everyone and it is a result of the contribution of everyone.’

For a non-profit organisation which runs from the funds of donors, it is quite a challenging task to even dream about such an amazing project. But, for Sri Chinna Jeeyar Swami – the goal is clear and uncompromising primarily because He understands the immeasurable value of wisdom and the path laid out by Bhagavad Ramanujacharya. His Holiness aims to pass on the same wisdom to future generations and thereby preserving our true identity and the vision of Vedam. This project will stand unique and become an icon of Pride to the nation, mankind and to the entire existence.

Don’t you agree that it is our duty to take part in this effort as we all are reaping the benefits of the great wisdom shared by Bhagavad Ramanujacharya?

We thank all the existing donors and would like them all to share this opportunity with friends and family. Let’s not wait and continue to contribute more!

*Hundreds of aspirants and devotees poured in to receive Sri Chinna Jeeyar Swamiji with so much admiration in New Jersey, USA. The pilot being inspired by a simple conversation he had in the flight continued along with Swamiji to stay in the asram at New Jersey!

Swamiji talked about ‘Statue of Equality’ and awed the audience with the power of Ramanujacharya’s message. HH explained how Bhagavad Ramanujacharya unveiled the unseen relationship between us and the God. Vedic lore, be it Upanishads, Smrithis, Ithihasa, Agama have all established the relationship between the Soul and the Supreme to be eternal. This relationship bonds us all together beautifully. It says that we are all equal in the eyes of that one Supreme!

In remembering this great personality throughout His Millennium birth year, Swamiji has been spreading the message throughout the world. HH talked about Statue of Equality project and announced a few details on the upcoming inauguration in April’2018.

HH invited everyone to volunteer, sponsor, and participate actively as it is a great opportunity to be involved in this magnificent project that will serve as a centre of educating values of life on the basis of Vedas, the source of all knowledge!

❃  120 KG Gold Deity for daily worship begins on April 1st – Contribute in the making of the Murthi!
❃  Lakshmi Narayana Havan with 1000 Kundas from the April 2nd to April 14th with about 5000 priests – Sponsor for a Kundam!
❃  Vadyanjali, Raganjali, Nrityanjali, and more with 1000s of participants
❃  About 250 Crore spent on the project, 150 Crore required to complete Phase 1 (by March’2018)

It may be a question to everyone, does Ramanujacharya expect a gold deity or a project costing crores? Swamiji said, ‘This is a project that will support and inspire the current generation with his valuable teachings. It is for the benefit of future generations who will need a direction as set by Vedic principles for a chaos-free mind, balanced life style, a clear path to bliss, an experience of a beautiful bond with Acharya, living in harmony and more’.

Trina loshta asma kanchana ha – For Bhagavad Ramanucharya, gold or grass value the same! But for all of us, we see the difference between the two. And hence, we choose what we feel is the most valuable to offer as a mark of reverence. It is the least that we can do to offer gratitude for Bhagavad Ramanujacharya whose teachings are so critical for our enrichment!

Today at 11:15am, ‘Jala Pavitram’ was raised high at the top edge of the ‘Tridandam’ signifying the purity of each act done through the hands of a Yathi / Sannyasi. ‘Jala Pavitram’ is a square shaped white coloured cloth. The ‘Statue of Equality’, Bhagavad Ramanujacharya – holds a Tridandam of weight 56 tonnes and a Jala Pavitram of weight 6 tonnes!

A few references of ‘Jala Pavitram’ from Vedic scriptures exclusively for our readers. Please note that the English text is not the meaning of the sloka entirely, but they are only stating facts of the Jala Pavitram.

మానసం వాచికం వాపి కాయికం చ విచక్షణః అగ్నిర్దేవతా గాయత్రీఛందః
ఇతి మంత్రేణాలాబు (దారు) పాత్రం గ్నహ్ణీయాత్ ఖిక్షుకోత్తమః జల పవిత్రం గ్నహ్ణీయాత్ !!

Jala Pavitram is one of the three key essentials for a sannyasi (sath + nyasamu = one who has given up everything at the feet of Supreme). The remaining two essentials are Tridandamu (a flag pole representing the essence of Vedic wisdom) and Kasayamu (a saffron coloured cotton cloth to wear representing selfless and sacrificial attitude)

మంత్రేచమనాది సంధ్యోపాసనం పూర్వవత్!
ఆచమనాదిషు పంచసు జలపవిత్రస్య సంబంధః!

During every prayer to the source of the power to Sun, (Sandhya vandanam) – ‘Jala Pavitram’ will be used to perform the offering of water as a token of gratitude. It is to be used during ‘Pranayama’ after bath.

స తేన ఆచమనం కుర్యాత్ మార్జనం తర్పణం తథా!
ఉపస్థానం సహస్రాంశోః కుండికాయాశ్శపూరణమ్!!

The top thread of the Jala Pavitram is to be hooked to the edge of the Tridandam while chanting Pranavam (the O:M)

సదా జలపవిత్రేణ మార్జనా చామ తర్పణమ్!
ఉపస్తానం రవేశ్చాపి యో యతిః కురుతే న చ!!

The bottom thread of Jala Pavitram is to be tied to the edge of the Tridandam while meditating upon the meaning of the Pranavam.

As part of Statue of Equality project phase 1 – The ‘Dhyana Mandapam’ will contain Swarna Murthi of Bhagavad Ramanujacharya. This murthi will serve as a way to offer gratitude through daily prayer, nitya aaradhana. The presence of the Swarna Murthi is going to make the Dhyana Mandapam an extremely vibrant, pious and a perfect place for instituting inward enrichment!
It takes 12 weeks for the making of the murthi. Work will begin in the last week of November. So, make your contribution NOW to see it become a part of the Swarna Murthi soon!

Suvarana Danam, donating gold is one among the 16 types of donation that is mentioned in sastram. Such a donation will make your parents and your children be proud of and happy about! The result of this donation will lead you long ways in a successful eternal glory. Ramanujacharya is the Acharya of Lord Venkateswara (read from Venkateswara Ithihasa Mala). What an opportunity to offer such a kainkaryam during Karthika Masam – a time to utilise every occasion for lighting up the internal Diya, our manas and make the right decisions!
