1. Overview
On the morning of 28th June 2007 (Sarvajith Samvatsara -
Greeshma Ritu - Nija Jyeshta Masa - Trayodasi Thithl), Sri
Muralidhara Tantri and his fellow astrologers from Udupi arrived to
conduct the Ashtamangala Deva Prasna (ADP) to the Ananda
Theertha Agrahara located in Chittoor district, Andhra Pradesh. This
village situated 15 kms from Mulbagal is now called Theerham. The
purpose of the ADP was meant for ascertaining the Jeernoddhara
Krama of Sri Anjaneya Swamy and Sri Raghavendra Swamy
temple, and to ascertain the divinity of the temple and its premises
and the historical/religious significance of Theetham Village w.r.t
Madhwacharya and his disciples. Also the Prasna Marga (Path of
Horary Astrology) will determine the various anomalies in the
temple structure, daily rituals performed and the significance of
other temples in the surrounding area. ADPwill give the solution
in correcting the existing anomalies for the welfare of the village.
2. The AshtamangaIa Deva Prasna
Prasna is one of the six branches of Vedic Astrology.
Ashtamangala Prasna is a part of this Prasna branch usually
conducted to ascertain the divinity of the deity and sanctity of a
temple. Ashtamangala refers to eight (Ashta) auspicious
(Mangala) items that are used in this type of divination. These
eight items are: ghee lamps (brass lamp with wick in clarified
butter), mirror, gold, milk, yoghurt, fruits, book and white cloth.
Deva Prasna is a special kind of Prasna (Prasna - question,
horary astrology) specifically dealing with temple matters. Based
on the nature of the flame of the lamp, number and quality of the
Tambula (betel leaves), Ashtamangala numbers, Swarna
Lagna, Aroodha Lagna, the position of various planets in the 12
houses of the Rasi Chart, etc., the astrologer will answer the
various Prasnas (questions).
The astrologers will examine the Tambula offered for
worship. These Tambula represent the 12 houses of the Deva
Prasna chart and the condition of each house can be determined
by the condition of each leaf. The special meanings of 12 houses
are:
1. Temple building, murti (likeness of the deity) and the divine
presence of deity in the murti.
2. Wealth, income, temple treasures and guardians.
3. The naivedya (offerings made) and the temple servants
4. All buildings, land and vehicles connected with the temple.
5. Murti and divine presence (again)
6. Pollution of the temple, enemies and thieves
7. The people and deity ornaments
8. Divine presence, offerings, servants and good and evil
matters
2 3
9. Nature of the temple authorities and the state of merit and
piety.
10. Daily ceremonies (puja), special festivals and the people
involved in making garlands, performance of musical
hymns to the deity.
11. Piety, merit, prosperity and income
12. Nature of priests, expenditure and waste.
n our case, we had only 5 Pan Leaves (Tambula). The
number of leaves was now used to determine the Tambula
Lagna, which is arrived at by the following formula. (T X 10
+1)/7 where T is the number of Tambulas. Since T = 5 in our
case, we get 7 as the result. This represents the Moon.
1) Sun
2) Mars
3) Jupiter
4) Mercury
5) Venus
6) Saturn
7) Moon (Tambula Lagna)
8) Rahu
Tambula Lagna which is the Moon (Chandra) signifies that
future of this temple will be prosperous.
3. Introduction to Ananda Theertha Agrahara
Sri Vyasaraja, a great follower of Sri Madhwacharya,
the saint who profoundly preached the Dwaita siddhanta, took
up a mission of installing 720 Mukhya Prana Bimbas (mages)
during 1500 A.D. He was the disciple of Sripadarajaru who had
established Sree Narasimhatheertha Mutt at Mulbagal. Under
his guidance, Sri Vyasarajaru has installed the Mukhya Prana
Bimba by establishing a Brahmin settlement for carrying out
the daily rituals called Ananda Theertha Agrahara. t is said that
Sri Madhwacharya has visited this place and performed
Chaturmasa Vratam here. Hence the place was named Ananda
Theertha Agrahara (Ananda Theertha is synonymous to
Madhwacharya, and Agrahara means a "Brahmin Settlement").
On 13 Aug 1984, Sri Raghavendra Swamy"Mrittika" Brindavana
was installed here.
4. History and Prominence of Ananda Theertha Agrahara
This place has a history of at least 500 to
700 years. This village was originally formed as a Brahmin
Settlement to carry out the religious activities connected to the
Mukhya Prana temple. The entire land beionged to the native
Brahmins here. During the Vijayanagar kingdom, the King used
to migrate Brahmin families to such places, give them land and
other facilities. This way a place becomes a pilgrimage and a
centre of learning. t is believed that Theertham also was a very
important place during Vijayanagar kingdom. Sripadarajaru was
the Raja Guru of Vijayanagar kingdom. Sri Padaraja Mutt is
stationed about 15 kms from Ananda Theertha Agrahara. Hence
there is a strong relationship between the 2 holy places. Great
scholars have visited this place, as this was an educational
centre in those times. t has been told that Sri Madhwacharya
turned this barren land into fertile land during his stay here. The
holy pond, Vishnu Theertha towards the north of the temple is
established by one of the followers of Sri Madhwacharya.
SHRLL RAMAM HANUMATH SLVYAM

SHRLL VYASAM MADHWA SAMSLVYAM

Chakrotsava and other rituals were being performed daily to this
Vishnutheertha.
During the ADP, it has been known that a great sage has
stayed here and had a significant achievement. This is during
the period of Sri Vyasaraja's stay at Narasimha Theertha. Due to
lot of prominent people who lived here during those times, it was
also revealed during ADP that all important administrative
decisions for the Vijayanagar Kingdom were taken and ordered
from here. t is also revealed that Mukhya Prana was installed
here only for the sole purpose of seeking divine knowledge and
preaching Dwaita Siddhanta. For the last 250 years there has
been a tremendous decline for this temple.
Ori gi nal l y the guardi an of thi s templ e was
Narayanadasaru and his family. They were taking care of this
Kshetra (pilgrim centre) with utmost responsibility and care.
They were performing daily aradhana sevas, and used to feed
people daily (Nitya Annadana). Later they migrated to Tirupati.
This family was well known for such deeds in Tirupati also.
Towards southwest of this temple, there is a Rudra
(Shiva) temple. t is believed that Sri Vyasarajaru himself
installed this one too. Vedic scholars have commented/debated
on the Tattva doctrine by Sri Madhwacharya in this place. ndian
classical dances and other fine arts of ndian heritage were
found here. This temple was established for creating a centre of
learning so that it attracts people from various places to attain
knowledge. There is a strong relationship between Mukhya
Prana and Rudra temple. n this village, also there is a
Gangamma devi temple towards southwest of this temple. And
there is a Kalika devi temple towards Northwest. This temple
should also be considered for Jeernoddhara.
t is advised during ADP by the astrologer that during all
special festivals, the grama devathas should be offered special
sevas. Currently no such practice is followed.
This Kshetra (Mukhya Prana) and the Naga Sannithya
are in a bad shape. Naga Punaha Pratishta should also be part
of Jeernoddhara. t is known that a Nidhi (Treasure) exists in this
area. Sacred serpent species like Jala Naga and Vaishnava
Naga are known to have traversed in this area. t is clearly
evident that 'Sree Mukhya Prana' was installed by Shri Vyasaraja
duly following Tanthra Sarokta Mutt Sampradaya (Tradition)'.
n 1984, after Sri Guru Raghavendra Swamy Brindavana
was installed, this place has regained its significance and the
village has seen notable prosperity. Daily rituals have begun only
after this occasion. Sri Venkoba Rao and Sri Gopalakrishna
Murthy have brought this "Mrittika" Brindavana to the Mukhya
Prana Sannidhi and installed by taking the help of local Brahmin
community at Theertham.
Currently the temple is managed by Gururaja Seva
Samithi, which was formed in 1984 after the installation of Sri
Raghavendra Swamy Brindavana.
5. AnomaIies in Ananda Theetha Agrahara -
Findings from ADP
This theertha kshetra has been in bad shape for the last
several years and void of daily and weekly aradhana sevas,
deeparadhana sevas etc. This was an important pilgrimage
centre for all the neighbouring villages within 50 kms of radius.
The Gopuram (tower) of this temple is in northwest direction,
which is found to be an anomaly.
Ganapati temple, Naga Sannithya and Vishnuthirtha
towards the northwest are all in bad shape. Grama Devatha
placed close to Naga Pratishta is also found to be wrong. The
main door being in the northwest is also not correct. During the
initial times, it has been known that everything was in the correct
position. Over a period of time, the temple has undergone some
changes.
Another Mukhya Prana Aradhya Murti belonging to a
certain family who found it difficult to continue with the Nitya
Kainkaryas have donated the same to this temple. This is
causing an obstacle to the sanctity of the main Mukhya Prana
sannithya.
6 7
Due to lack of appropriate rituals in the temple, it has been
found out that the villagers have suffered in the form of children
lacking breast feeding, people committing suicides, houses burnt
due to fire etc.
n the premises of the temple, there have been lot of
occurrences where sanctity of the temple has been ignored. Also
there seems to be cases of people committing suicide in the holy
pond adjoining the temple for which the last rites have not been
performed. Serpents and monkeys also have been killed here. t
has been found that lot of theft has happened and kings have used
this temple for selfish motives.
Mukhya Prana Devaru is not receiving proper Abhishekas
and other divine activities daily. Also the dimension of the temple
structure and boundaries of the temple seems to have not been
done properly.
6. RemediaI measures for correcting the anomaIies
a) Naga Sannidhi should be completely renovated. Present
defective Naga dols (Vigraha) should be immersed and a
re-installation should be done. This should be carried out in
consultation with a Shilpi (Sculptor). The Grama Devatha
idol (Prathime) should be religiously re-ocated.
b) The holy pond near the Naga Prathime should be
completely cleaned and the environment here should
facilitate for performing the holy ancestral rites. This should
be done under the auspices of the villagers and the pond
should have a square structure.
c) The temple compound should be constructed with new
dimensions, duly fixing the boundaries.
7. SoIutions to this Kshetra
1) Fruits, coconut and Kanike (cash offering) offering should be
made to the Sri Rama temple. Panchamruthabhisheka,
Deeparadhana and Annual Seva should be performed to
Lord Rama.
2) Rudra Devaru in the nearby hillock and the Associate Grama
Devathas in the village should be offered fruits and coconut
and Ekadasha Rudrabhisheka.
3) Fruits, Coconuts offerings and prayers should be done in all
four Devi temples and should be repeated every year.
4) Sevas should be performed at Mulbagal Sripadaraja Mutt,
Sosale Vyasaraja Mutt and Mantralaya Sri Raghavendra
Swamy Mutt and obtain the blessings (Mantrakshathe) for
this Daiva karya. Also puja should be performed to Sri
Krishna at Udupi and suitable offering should be made to the
sitting pontiff among the ashta mathas of Udupi. The birth
place of Sri Madhwacharya, Pajaka Kshetra should also be
visited and suitable offering should be made. Padapuja (an
act of respect to religious leaders by washing their feet)
should be performed to the Vyasaraja mutt swamiji.
5) Visit to Tirumala Kshetra and perform suitable seva and offer
to the lord and take blessings.
6) Panchamrutha abhisheka should be performed to Naga
Sannidhi and prayers should be offered. Pavamana
Kalashabhisheka should be performed. Brahmana Vatu
aradhane should be done.
7) Serpent worship in a semi-Vedic tradition usually by
Brahmins only. This includes 'Ananthavratha'. 'Sarpa
Samskara' (funeral obsequies of a serpent being killed or
found dead) should be performed called as 'Ashlesha Bali'
since serpents have been killed here. Also the following
Homas - Thila, Pavamana and Kooshmaanda needs to be
done.
8) For all the unanticipated deaths that has occurred here, as a
parihara (solution), Dhanvantri Homa should be performed
48 times, Manyu Sooktham should be recited, Sudarshana
astra mantram should be recited 10,000 times using the
Apamarga* Samith in 1000 number.
The Manyu Sukta Manyu Sukta appears in 8th Ashtaka, 3rd
Adhyaya and 18th & 19th Varga of Rig Veda (n otherwords, 10th
Mandala, 83rd & 84th Sukta) comprises of 14 Mantras. The Rishi
is Manyustapasa, Devata is Manyu and the Chandas are Trishtup
and lagati Manyu Sukta Homa - Accoring to the Rig Veda Prayoga
S
Chandrika, the Manyu Sukta Homa is given a prominent place.
Manyu is the synonym of Lord Shiva. t means 'anger'. Those
belonging to the Rig Veda saka very commonly perform Manyu
Sukta Homa. t is stated in the Rig Veda Prayoga Chandrika, that the
devotees who are suffering from the afflictions caused by incurable
diseases, or enemies, can get rid of these by performing the Manyu
Sukta Homa.
- This is a small herb found all over ndia. t is one of the
Ayurvedic herbs.
9) The negative thought of Brahma rakshasa should be quickly
solved. For this the astrologer suggests chanting the following
hymns 10,000 times along with 'Thila Homa'.
a. Brahma Gayatri
b. Vishnu Gayatri
c. Krishna Shadakshari
d. Vishnu Shadakshari
e. Ashtakshara
f. Geetha Trishtup
g. Dwadashakshari
10) Vishnu Chakrabja mandala should be written and
Vishnusahasra Nama should be recited 93 times. Brahmana
Suvasini aradhane also should be performed.
11) Sri Sooktha Purusha should be chanted 1008 times by all the
Brahmins of the village for the welfare of Ananda Theertha
Agrahara.
12) Sreekara Ashtakshara of Tantrasara should be chanted
10,000 times.
13) Bhajans should be done every Saturday.
14) At the time of Jeernoddhara, Naga Pratishta should be done
towards the north-west of the garbha gudi (sanctum). Thila,
Pavamana and Kooshmanda homa should be done during
the installation of the Naga.
15) Towards the south west of the garbha gudi, a small separate
temple of Ganapati should be installed with appropriate length
and width ratios.
16) While installing the new Ganapati, the one in the single line
carved Ganapathy should be immersed in holy pond and the
newidol should imbibe its divinity.
17) Shanmukha Ganapati should be immersed in holy pond
18) The Mukhya Prana Bimba is installed by His Holiness
Vyasarajaru, and the rashi/nakshatra of the same are very
stable and good. Hence during renovation, due care should be
taken so that the moola vigraha of Mukhya Prana as well as the
Raghavendra swamy brindavana shouId not move at all. And
the new design plan of the temple should be in full accordance
with Vastu Shastra and all the processes should be conducted
as prescribed in "Tanthra Sarokta"way.
19) Another Mukhya Prana Bimba obtained from a family is advised
to be taken back by them. f that is not possible, then the divinity
of the same should be imbibed into the main deity by the
following way: Brahma Kalashabhisheka, Samhitha
Kalashabhisheka, Bhagavatha parayana, Sarva Moola
Grantha Parayana, Bhagavadgeetha Parayana, Madhwa
Praneetha Sundara Kanda Parayana should be chanted.
20) Garbha gudi (Sanctum), Mantapa, Compound (Prakara), Kola
(Holy Pond) should be completely renovated under the
guidance of a fully qualified Vastu Shilpi who has expertise in
temple renovation. All the ayas (Length and width ratios) should
be proper so that there won't be any cracks or fall in the
structure in future.
21) The following sevas should be performed as far as possible at
Udupi Sree Mutt, Mukhya Prana Kshetra and Madhwacharya
Mula Kshetra, Pajaka and receive holy blessings in the form of
Mantraakshathe (Holy rice grains mixed with either Kumkum
(Vermillion) or turmeric powder from paryaya peetha swamiji of
Udupi.
8. Pooja procedures to be foIIowed in the piIgrimage
(Tantrasaroktha)

Saturday special pooja for Mukhya Prana Devaru.
17. Pallaki Seva (Car festival) should be done on Thursdays
and Saturdays. Umbrella and fans (Chatri and Chamara)

9. Jeer noddhara Krama
n order to facilitate the renovation of the Mukhya Prana temple
at Ananda Theertha Agrahara, there is a need to form two
committees.
1. Jeernoddhara Committee
2. Bharana Committee (Local Maintenance Committee)
All the necessary funds to be raised for the renovation will be
through the above committees. Women members will also be
part of these committees. Daivagna Sri Muralidhara Tantri has
advised to take the guidance of Sri Narayana Tantri for the
renovation and construction of the Garbha gudi and the
sculptures involved in the temple work duly following 'Tanthra
Sarokta'. Agopuram should be erected on the Garbha Gudi. This
project should be completed within 3 years of time as per the
divine sanction from Lord Sri Hari. During the Pratishta
(installation), Vedas and Bhagavatha hymns should be chanted
with utmost devotion.
10. FruitfuIness of Jeernoddhara with bIessings of
Hari Vayu
After the successful completion of the temple renovation
project, all the daily rituals and pooja performed in this temple
will bring welfare to the whole village and all the pilgrims
visiting this Kshetra will be spiritually benefited by the
auspices of Hari Vayu Gurugalu.
Since this sacred pilgrim centre was dwelled by great
scholars, sages and saints, it will become an important place
for performing the last rites of a person and will be called
Vaikunta Theertha.
Since this was an ancient educational centre, it has the
vibrations for imbibing educational skills in a person. This is
the best place to start up education to school joining children.
By doing pradakshina (going round the sanctum as a
religious practice) for the Anjaneya temple, one's wishes will
be fulfilled.
mmersion in the adjoining holy pond after renovation /
sanctification will give the benefit of doing so in the Holy
Ganges.
Marriage related problems will be solved
Threats of dying will be overcome
Children will be blessed with breast feeding on their mothers
offer prayers to the Mukhya Prana
11. Propaganda and focus on the Young Devotees for
success
To achieve this project successfully each and every
individual from the designated organisation to take part equally
with utmost dedication and interest. Especially the youth should
physically and whole-heartedly take up the activity of raising
12 13
funds for the project. We should be able to communicate to
various organisations, philanthropists, individual devotees etc
which will not only help for raising funds but also a kick start to
make this a holy pilgrim centre. All the committee members
should be united and start with full enthusiasm.
The whole renovation project and the budget will be
segregated and carried out in a phased manner as follows:
1. Construction of Moola Mukhya Prana Garbha Gudi and
Gopuram. The main sanctum and the tower erection should
be taken on priority:
a. Main temple-Rs.3.00 lakhs
b. Vimana Gopuram-Rs.2.00 lakhs
2. Ganapati temple construction- Rs.1.50 lakhs
3. Naga temple construction- Rs.1.50 lakhs
4. Construction of Yaga Shala and Yagna mandira: Rs.2.00
lakhs
5. Construction of the Aalaya Praangana (complex) of the
temple according to the Ayas (Ground Floor only): Rs.40
lakhs
6. Construction of temple compound and main entrance
(Mukha Dwara): Rs. 1.00 lakh
7. Renovation of the Naga Devathas outside the temple:
Rs.1.00 lakh
8. Renovation of Vishnu Theertha Sarovara: Rs.1.00 lakh.
9. Holy cleansing of the temple and conducting re-installation
pooja after temple renovation: Rs.2.00 lakhs
10. Creation of a permanent fund (Shashwatha Nidhi) for the
protection and development of this pilgrim centre: Rs.5.00
lakhs.
11. Total budget (As per preliminary estimates): Rs.60 lakhs
There is utmost confidence and blessings of Vvasa. Rudra
and Mukhya Prana under the auspices of Lakshmi Narayana for
the success of this project.
