đSHUBH SANDHYAđ
Eveningâs SHORT DHARMIC STORY 27/8/23:
SRI RAMANUJACHARYA decided that as the rush of devotees increased in TIRUMALA, the roads needed to be expanded around the temple, which are now called the MADA VEEDHI. He also began the construction of residences to Archakas, etc.
The work was in full swing, and it was peak summer. All the disciples of SRI RAMANUJACHARYA, were relentlessly working, in the hot sun.
One Milk maid by the name RAMAMMA, would climb the TIRUMALA hill everyday, with pots full of Butter Milk, and distribute it to the disciples of RAMANUJACHARYA, which was a huge respite for them who were working in the scorching heat.
One day they asked her, why she takes the trouble to climb the seven hills everyday, just to give them buttermilk. She innocently replies that she is uneducated, and doesn't know the way to worship BHAGAWAN VENKATESHWARA, Atleast if she does seva to them, she could gain punya and attain Moksha. She asked them all with folded hands to tell BHAGAWAN VENKATESHWARA to give her Moksha.
The disciples were moved by her innocence, and said only SRI RAMANUJACHARYA is capable of that as he converses with him every day. She begged them all to arrange an audience with him. One day, she saw SRI RAMANUJACHARYA walk past her and she ran to him, and offered him buttermilk, and he took it saying it was PRASADA from VENKATESHWARA himself.
After drinking the buttermilk, SRI RAMANUJACHARYA asked her what she wants, she innocently said " Swami, it seems you talk daily with BHAGAWAN VENKATESHWARA, and you are great friends with him. Please Ask him to give MOKSHA to me. That's all I need and nothing else.
Moved by her faith and innocence, SRI RAMANUJACHARYA picked a dry leaf, and wrote " May BHAGAWAN SRINIVASA, grant her MUKTI", and gave the leaf to her. As RAMAMMA took the leaf, vibrant light emanated from her and merged into the skies, and RAMAMMA attained Mukti and reached the lotus feet of VENKATESHWARA, while all were watching stunned and shockedđ
As a reverence to RAMAMMA, SRI RAMANUJACHARYA built a Mantapa in front of the main entrance of the temple, which is called the GOLLA MANTAPAM.
In 2019, the government proposed to destroy the thousand-year-old GOLLA MANTAPAM, and had to withdraw amidst massive protests from the peopleđ
