This video explains the face see on the hills.It explains each features correctly so that the viewers is amazed to see the wonder that unfolds before them. It really happened on the night of 7th of Nov, 1979 exactly 39 years back, the time was after midnight. Everybody right from the street urchin to the priest and including the lord were sleeping. In those days there were not many people, only about 25,000 people visited the temple. So, fortunately, God had enough time for sleeping and rest! They used to close the temple after the Ekantseva around12 o’clock and then at 4 o’clock or so the Suprabhatam was done. So suddenly the temple bells, the big bronze bell in the Bangaru Vakili inside the temple.. Right from the Police personnel, TTD employees and the normal people, they rushed to the main door. Suddenly after a few minutes, the sound of bells stopped. Nobody knew the reason. Normally after the Ekantsevathey search every nook and corner and lock the temple, so nobody could be inside! But after thinking and discussing for a while, they came to a conclusion that possibly some pilgrim by mistake, was caught inside the temple and they closed the door without checking properly. Probably the pilgrim wanted to catch the attention of the outsiders so he rang the bell. Hence they decided that at Suprabhatam when they open the door they can see that. But then, why did the temple bells ring? We need to go back for seven days or more. At that time there was a big scarcity of water, no rain at all, for the whole year. They had put sanctions on the TTD employees because their quarters were there. About sixty thousand people were living in Tirumala, apart from the twenty-five thousand regular visitors. They were not allowed to go beyond the sanctions. The water in the Gogarbham dam was almost empty. The TTD chairman, the EO at that time was Sri PVRK Prasad. He convened a meeting of all the engineers and discussed what needed to be done. They said the water would not last more than one week and they wanted to impose further sanctions on the employee’s usage, which the EO refused because there could possibly be no further restriction on the usage of water. Further, they could not restrict the pilgrims coming to the temple because that would be against the TTD rules. So finally the engineers said they have to do something otherwise the temple has to be closed indefinitely which will be a bad mark on PVRK Prasad in the history of TTD. So he decided to solve it on his own. He knows and believes that Vedas and dharma shastras have a definite solution for a serious problem of this kind. But there should be some person who can guide him properly. He discussed with the people and finally decided he should approach the great Vedic scholar who is known as Saraswati Avataram, Sri Uppuluri Ganapati Shastry, who was 82 years old at that time. He went to meet him in Hyderabad. When he explained the water scarcity problem in Tirumala, Sri Ganapathi Shastry smiled and said the golden words, “The problem comes because the solution is there!!” He is the authority on Vedas.” PVRK Prasad was noting all the details. Then Shastry said, “If you agree then I can send the ritviks and we can do the japam for three days. It will rain.” Then he convened an emergency meeting with all his staff. He said, “We need to do this Varun japam on our own. Let us call all the pandits and then do the Varun japam.” He fixed the muhurtamas 8th of Nov. But he turned towards Lord Balaji and said, “Hey Bhagwan, I’ve been a sincere officer serving you and your devotees, I never spare my efforts to make Tirumala neat and tidy and full of dharmic living, why this trouble for me? I want to do this Varun Japam staring from this 8th, I need your approval. I don’t know how you give, but your approval needs to be there for me to start.” And then it happened on the 7th midnight! The temple bells rang on their own! How else can you say that Balaji had approved PVRK Prasad’s samkalpam! He was full of joy. Tears came to his eyes, and he said “Balaji you accepted my proposal! Let us start”. They started the Varun Japam on 8thas planned. After 3 days the rain should have come but not even a single drop of water!!! Again God wanted to test! So after the Japam all the ritviks and the employees with depressed, saddened faces and tears in their eyes started bringing all the utsav vigrahas back to the main temple within hundred yards. And then it happened!
