Why Britishers did't plant a Cross in Tirumala Hills??

Om namo bhagavathe Venkateshaya

Sometime during 1781 A D..

When the British army was camping at a station called Thakkolam, a place close to Vellore in Tamilnadu, a British soldier by name Le Vellian, belonging to the 33rd regiment of the British Army was lying down almost dead in his bed ,for many days, after he was brutally injured by a bullet…

After several days of battle with his life and with no further hopes left for his recovery, Le Vellian was left to his fate by the British army doctors...Le Vellian too was literally praying for a peaceful departure from this world.. And exactly at that time, one day..

A 12 – year old mystic Hindu boy came to serve Tea in that army camp.. After serving Tea to all the major officials in the camp, the boy then went straight to Le Vellian’s bunker and greeted him saying..

Good morning sir.

At that time, Le Vellian was lying in an extremely sick condition on his bed...He was just alive and nothing more than that..Without even turning his head towards the tea boy,Le Vellian too said “Good morning” but with a little disinterest in his voice..

Transferring Tea into a cup, the Tea boy said. Sir, with your kind permission may I tell you something..? ? ..”

“Whattt..??..”.. asked a fully irritated Le Vellian, who at that moment was still in great pain. He was in fact in no mood to talk to any one.. However, taking the soldier by surprise this was what the 12 year old mystic Hindu Tea boy told Le Vellian.

“Sir, I know you are in pain for several days.. I also know that you lost all your hopes of any recovery. But sir. Please listen to me and offer your prayers to Lord Sri Venkateswara of Tirumala temple. Tirumala is a Temple very near to this place and Lord Sri Venkateswara is the most powerful God in this world Am sure He will save you from death..Trust me sir..”

With a little curiosity in his voice and a little dazzle in his eyes this time,Le Vellian then slowly turned towards the Tea boy and said “..Thanks my dear, but what do you want me to do for that..’..

With a smile,the Boy replied”..Thanks for taking my words sir..All that you have to do is to just offer your prayers to Lord Sri Venkateswara and request Him to heal you fully.. ”

And now with more hope in his voice,Le Vellian asked the boy..”Okay my dear..I would certainly do..But how to offer my prayers to a Hindu God... I have never done that before..You need to help me do that..”And this time

Without seeking any permission from Le Vellian,the 12 – year old mystic Hindu Boy walked with all the divine command in this world to the bedside of Le Vellian; held both his hands first; brought them close to each other...

And later bringing them together,by creating a traditional Hindu NAMASTE posture,raised Le Vellian’s hands and turned them towards the direction wherein the most powerful Tirumala temple is located and surprising Le Vellian further,very loudly chanted holy Lord Sri Venkateswara’s most favorite sloka..“.. Vinaa Venkatesam Nanatho Nanathah.. Sadaa Venkatesam Smaraami Smaraami.. Hare Venkatesa Praseeda Praseedah.. Priyam Venkatesa Prayachcha Prayachchah. .”“.. Aham Doora Tasthe Padaam Bhoja Yugmah.. Pranamechcha Ya Gachcha Sevaam Karomi..Sakrut Sevayaa Nitya Sevaa Phalantvam.. Prayachcha Prayachcha Prabho Venkatesaa..”

Amazing was the boy to the eyes of Le Vellian that moment..After completing the chanting of the divine sloka,the Boy,still holding a much surprised Le Vellian’s hands,closed his eyes for a few moments and silently offered his personal prayers to Lord Sri Venkateswara. .

Furthermore amazed at the command with which the Hindu boy held both his hands and also at the ease with which he had chanted the intricate Sanskrit sloka,Le Vellian slowly got up in his bed; turned both his hands that were still held in a NAMASTE posture towards the smiling mystic boy and offered him his salutations. .PEACEAfter that divine drama..

Le Vellian who had lost all his hopes of any recovery from that near dead situation had quite miraculously regained a complete normalcy in just about a few days time..

This miraculous recovery of Le Vellian shocked the British Army Doctors who have by then had literally written him off as a medical ‘case of complete hopelessness beyond recovery’..

Much later,as he could not personally visit the Tirumala temple due to his job constraints, Le Vellian requested his friend,an Indian soldier by name Ramachandra Ganesh,to visit the Tirumala hill Shrine on his behalf and offer the holy Lord Sri Venkateswara what he promised to offer...EPILOGUE

“Vinaa Venkatesam” sloka although is an integral part of Sri Venkateswara Suprabhatham, was however written and recited first by Sri Markandeya Maharshi,when He visited the Tirumala hills and offered this sloka to Lord Sri Venkateswara. .PERIOD

In the later period,the story of Le Vellian’s miraculous recovery reached the governing authorities of the British Kingdom..In 1801,after having known the sanctity and powers of Lord Sri Venkateswara and the Tirumala Temple,the British took over the administration of the Temple from the hands of the Nawabs of Arcot for lack of discipline and misappropriation of funds in the Temple..

Later in 1821,strictly in accordance with the norms of the Tirumala Temple,the British introduced what is called the Bruce Code..This code has 42 provisions formulated in it with well defined customs and duties meant both for the Tirumala Temple as well as for the Hindu officials working there..

Quite surprisingly, the ruthless British,known for their iconoclastic nature,never interfered with the day to day affairs and rituals of the Tirumala Temple except taking care of it’s administration. .After that divine incident,renowned British personalities like Sir Thomas Monroe and Colonel Geo Stratten went on to become great devotees of Lord Sri Venkateswara. .

During their tenure of office in India,they have never allowed the British army to camp anywhere close to the Tirumala Hill Shrine and also never allowed any British national enter the Tirumala Hills with footwear..

Some of the great European churches,unable to bear with Lord Sri Venkateswara’s supremacy over the world,proposed to establish at least one Holy CROSS on the Tirumala Hills those days.but the strict British administration had ruthlessly rejected all such proposals..Finally the most important point..

After that incident in the army camp,Le Vellian and the whole of British army had made a frantic search for that 12 – year old mystic Hindu Tea Boy but they couldn’t find Him anywhere..Who was HE..?? ..And where did He come from..??“..Sarva Avayava Soundaryaa Sampada Sarva Chetasam Sada Sammohanayastu Sri Venkatesaya Mangalam..”

A PIN DROP SILENCE

Can you hear a pin drop?

What is the meaning of pin drop silence?

Following are some instances when silence could speak louder than voice.

Take 1:

Field Marshal Sam Bahadur Maneckshaw once started addressing a public meeting at Ahmedabad in English.

The crowd started chanting, "Speak in Gujarati.

We will hear you only if you speak in Gujarati."

Field Marshal Sam Bahadur Maneckshaw stopped.

Swept the audience with a hard stare and replied,

"Friends, I have fought many a battle in my long career.

I have learned Punjabi from men of the Sikh Regiment;

Marathi from the Maratha Regiment;

Tamil from the men of the Madras Sappers;

Bengali from the men of the Bengal Sappers,

Hindi from the Bihar Regiment; and

Even Nepali from the Gurkha Regiment.

Unfortunately there was no soldier from Gujarat from whom I could have learned Gujarati."...

You could have heard a pin drop

Take 2:

Robert Whiting,

an elderly US gentleman of 83, arrived in Paris by plane.

At French Customs, he took a few minutes to locate his passport in his carry on.

"You have been to France before, Monsieur ?", the Customs officer asked sarcastically.

Mr. Whiting admitted that he had been to France previously.

"Then you should know enough to have your passport ready."

The American said,

"The last time I was here,

I didn't have to show it."

"Impossible.

Americans always have to show their passports on arrival in France !", the Customs officer sneered.

The American senior gave the Frenchman a long, hard look.

Then he quietly explained

"Well, when I came ashore at Omaha Beach,

at 4:40am, on D-Day in 1944, to help liberate your country, I couldn't find a single Frenchman to show a passport to.... "

You could have heard a pin drop

Take 3:

Soon after getting freedom from British rule in 1947, the de-facto prime minister of India, Jawahar Lal Nehru called a meeting of senior Army Officers to select the first General of the Indian army.

Nehru proposed, "I think we should appoint a British officer as a General of The Indian Army, as we don't have enough experience to lead the same."

Having learned under the British, only to serve and rarely to lead, all the civilians and men in uniform present nodded their heads in agreement.

However one senior officer, Nathu Singh Rathore, asked for permission to speak.

Nehru was a bit taken aback by the independent streak of the officer, though, he asked him to speak freely.

Rathore said, "You see, sir, we don't have enough experience to lead a nation too, so shouldn't we appoint a British person as the first Prime Minister of India?"

you could hear a pin drop.

After a pregnant pause, Nehru asked Rathore,

"Are you ready to be the first General of The Indian Army?"..

Rathore declined the offer saying "Sir, we have a very talented army officer, my senior, Gen. Cariappa, who is the most deserving among us."

This is how the brilliant Gen. Cariappa became the first General and Rathore the first ever Lt. General of the Indian Army.

NEVER LEARNT ABOUT SHIVAJI

MIND BLOWING

Never learnt from Sivaji in history in School. Amazed at what many think of him:

"From Kabul to Kandahar my Taimur family created the Moghul Sultanate. Iraq, Iran, Turkistan and in many more countries my army defeated ferocious Warriors. But in India Shivaji put brakes on us. I spent my maximum energy on Sivaji but could not bring him to his knees.

Ya Allah, you gave my enemy, fearless and upright, please keep your doors to heaven open for him because the world's best and large hearted warrior is coming to you."

- Aurangzeb (After Shivaji's death, while reading Namaz)

""That day Sivaji just Didn't chop of my fingers but also chopped off my pride. I fear to meet him even in my dreams. - Shahista Khan

"Is there no man left to defeat Sivaji in my kingdom." -- Frustrated Begum Ali Adilshah.

"Netaji, your country does not require any Hitler to throw out British. All you need to teach Shivaji's History. - Adolf Hitler.

"Has Sivaji been born in England, we would not only have ruled earth but the whole Universe." - Lord Mountbatten.

" Has Sivaji lived for another ten years, the British would not have seen the face of India." - A British Governor

If India needs to be made independent then there is only one way out, "Fight like Shivaji." - Netaji

"Had Shivaji been born in America, we would nomenclared him as SUN." - Barrack Obama

The famous war of Umberkhind is mentioned in the Guinness Book of World Records.

"The 30,000 strong army of Kartalab Khan from Uzbekistan was defeated by mere 1000 mawalas of Shivaji. Bot a single Uzbeki was left alive to return back home."

Shivaji was a a King of International fame. In the span of 30 years of his career he fought with only two Indian warriors. All the others were outsiders.

Shahista Khan, who feared even in his dreams was king of Abu Taliban and Turkistan.

Behloll Khan Pathan, Sikandar Pathan, Chidar Khan Pathan were all warrior sardars of Afghanistan.

Diler Khan Pathan was the great warrior of Mongolia. all of them bit dust in front of Shivaji.

Siddhi Jowhar and Salaba Khan were Iranian warriors, who got defeated by Shivaji.

Siddhi Jowhar later planned a sea attack. In response Shivaji raised a navy, the first Indian Navy. But before accomplishing the task Shivaji left this world. (He was poisoned.)

Google "Shivaji, the Management Guru." It's a full subject in Boston University.

Yet, we Indian know so little about him ....what a pity . . . .at least let us make our future generation to know about this great INDIAN.

Please do circulate widely.
