In 1972, Pedda Jeeyar Swamiji planned to conduct a 1008-kunda Mahayajna at Tirumala. However, the temple management expressed concerns about the availability of sufficient water to accommodate the large team of priests and the massive crowd the yajna would attract. Swamiji reassured them, explaining that the very purpose of the yajna was the well-being of all, and that this would ensure there would be no shortage of essential resources like water.

The temple management, still uncertain, challenged Swamiji to first conduct a smaller yajna that would bring rain and replenish the Papavinasanam dams. If this was successful, they would agree to proceed with the grand 1008-kunda Mahayajna. Swamiji accepted the challenge.

There is a veda mantra that says…
ka:ri:rya vrusti ka:mo:yaje:tha
It describes the process for conducting an Ishti called Ka:re:ri that can bring rain.

Swamiji called upon three Nithya Agnihotris, experts in Vedic rituals who dedicate 4 to 6 hours daily to prayer through fire, maintaining a continuous flame in a yajna kunda. One of them hailed from Kerala, another from Trichy, and the third from Tenali. All three felt deeply honored to be summoned by Pedda Jeeyar Swamiji for this sacred task and were committed to their role in the Ishti.

The Ishti ritual at the fire altar was nearing its final stage, the pu:rna:huthi, the last offering. Following this, sacred water was to be sprinkled on a horse completely black in colour. When the horse shook its body to shed the water, it was believed that this action would signal the skies to bring rain.

That is exactly what happened. Swamiji and the team concluded the Ishti and stepped down to Thirupati from Thirumala hills. After they reached Tirupathi, the base of Seshachalam hills, it started to rain and continued throughout the night.

The temple management team were really surprised to see the effect of the Ishti. They were very happy with the outcome. It was raining heavily and continuously that they had to approach Swamiji requesting to do something that would stop the rains as the dam was filled and they had enough water source.

Another set of mantras were chanted…
samudram gaccham swa:ha:
anthariksham gaccham swa:ha:
It stopped raining.

At that moment, the temple management team, deeply impressed and filled with gratitude, requested Pedda Jeeyar Swamiji to please continue the preparations for the 1008-kunda Mahayajna. Swamiji then conducted the grand ritual on the hills of Tirumala, drawing thousands of devotees who gathered to participate and seek blessings.

Can you fathom the immense power embedded in the Vedic mantras? When recited with precision, these mantras possess the unique ability to communicate with Prakruti, or Nature itself.

HH Chinna Jeeyar Swamiji Message Part -2

We often hear of scientific methods like cloud seeding or the use of silver oxide to stimulate rainfall. While these techniques have yet to yield consistent results, it’s essential to recognize that humans are endowed with certain divine capabilities, granted through the eternal wisdom of the Vedas. When the intent behind their use is pure, and focused on the well-being of all, no force is more powerful than the Vedic mantras.

Machines offer many advantages: speed, efficiency, accuracy, consistency, endurance, and the capacity for repetitive tasks. However, it’s important to understand that machines are most effective when they complement human abilities, combining the strengths of both for optimal outcomes.

More crucially, if we do not stay ahead of machines by even two steps, we risk being overtaken by their effects. That is why it’s vital to remain connected to Vedic wisdom. By practicing with the right pronunciation (ucchāraṇa) and focusing on the well-being of society, we can build the capability to contribute positively to the world. This is the path shown by Hanuman and Rama, who were masters of Vedic knowledge. They used their wisdom solely for the welfare of people and Nature, never for selfish or greedy purposes.

na:n rugve:da vini:thasya na: yajurve:da dha:rinaha
na: sa:mave:da vidushaha sakya e:vam prabha:shithum
nu:nam vya:karanam krutsnam ane:na bahudha:srutham
bahuvya:haratha:ne:na na kinchidapi apasabdithatham

Only one who mastered ve:das, grammar, all the literature and their essence can speak so fluently, flawlessly and with all humility as Hanuman

History, both recent and ancient, offers many examples of the transformative power of such knowledge. We must never underestimate the invaluable inheritance we have in the form of Vedic wisdom. You, the Vedic students, are the pra:ṇa, the very life-force of this world, and you bear a tremendous responsibility. You, the Vedic students, are gearing up to be the pilots of this world. If you learn well, the travellers will be safe. Learning the Vedas requires great strength, commitment, and unwavering belief.

Let there be a free exchange of knowledge between various Vedic schools, including the Veda Viswa Vidyalaya at JIVA and the Maharishi Sandipani Rashtriya Veda Vidya Prathishthan in Ujjain. If we make sincere efforts to preserve the ten existing branches of the Vedas, we strongly believe that one day we will see the revival of the 1121 lost branches as well.

While impressive, Artificial Intelligence cannot match human intellect when we fully understand our potential. This potential is realized through the exploration of Vedic wisdom, with the right intent and guidance. Stay two steps ahead of AI and technology, or risk becoming controlled by it.
