Mehandipura Balaji (Hanuman) Temple Rajasthaan

... is renowned for the sheer force of Hanuman's darshan. Its healing power is such, more often than not, the Temple's upper level is filled with supplicants in throes of exorcising the darkness within. Efficacy of Yagyas performed here is unparalleled. They deliver the might of Hanuman: Victory over intractable obstacles, Deliverance from great adversity and overcoming psychological health problems.


I meditate on you, O Hanuman, son of the wind-god; grant me strength, intelligence & true knowledge and remove my afflictions and blemishes ...You are an incarnation of Shiva and son of Keshari and you are adored by the whole world on account of your radiance and courage


...You are a great hero with exceptional valor with body as strong as the thunderbolt. You are dispeller of unwholesome thoughts and a companion of good sense & wisdom. The three worlds tremble before your power. No evil spirits dare approach one who utters your name "Mahabira" (great warrior)... Through devotion to you one obtains Sri Rama and life times of sorrow are swept away

These are the Translated words of the Hanuman Chaleesa, a Hymn dedicated to Hanuman, the patron of this temple. Hanuman is also known as Balaji; The strong one. Such is the feeling when you enter this temple and such is the feeling that you leave with. Hanuman is able to change size at will, leap high enough to take a bite out of the sun and face off against armies of powerful demons; hanuman is invoked to overcome obstacles whether internal, external, emotional, physical, solid, permeable conceptual or corporeal. Balaji is there to make sure you are standing strong at end of all your trials ready to fight another day.


The real treasure however, lies in the fourth chamber of the temple. There a Murthi (idol) of Pret Raj (King of departed souls/ghosts) dominates a large blackened marble antechamber. It is here people come to be exorcised from evil spirits, to confront the darkness within them and have Mahabira (Hanuman) guide them to sanity. The temple is a haven for pilgrims sufferings from mental illness or resisted experiences. Yagyas for Mars/Mangala and psychological health performed here are exceedingly effective.

Optimal benefits from specialty yagyas performed at celebrated temples

We've been traveling to India regularly the past 24 years - more than 100 times. Over the years, working with pandit groups associated with different temples we've found that some temples (dedicated to a particular Devata ) specialize in certain yagyas. While they may perform many yagyas, some work better than others. This is due to the Devata of the temple and its relevance for particular yagyas. Over the years we've explored and cultivated working relationships with a number of temples specializing in particular yagyas . It's been our experience and more important our clients' experience - this approach works well.

Rationale

India is "Dev Bhumi": land of the Gods. It has many places where the Devata value is lively and accessible. Devata or deeper, Universal reality (God or presiding impulse of natural law) is lively and accessible in and around certain special locations. From one perspective, we can say Devata, land and families living on the land are not seperate. Although they appear as seperate entities, they are in fact, part and parcel of the same reality. It can also be said the reality of the Devata (universal, eternal Law of Nature) has permeated these places since time out of memory. Accordingly, temples are constucted to serve as a focal point. The deeper universal reality (Devata) is not separate from the land, the temple or indeed the families who have lived there for generations. And the pandits born of these families perform our yagyas.

While pandits are integral to the Yagyas - because they recite the mantras and perform the ceremonies - they are not separate from Devata. So the land, temples, and pandits born of the families - are a manifestation of Devata the eternal universal reality - the greater wholeness. Therefore it's fair to say the influence of Devata (grace, blessing) operates through the temple and the pandits who service the temple. In this way, speciality yagyas performed at celebrated Temples deliver the Grace of Devata optimal benefits

Yagya relieves the suffering due to malefic planets.

Our joys and sorrows in this life are the result of actions (karmas) done in previous births. The fruits of our past actions are mediated or delivered to us through the instrumentality of the 9 planets (Navagraha - 9 forces of nature). Their arrangement in the heavens at the time of birth is a karmic map of our life. Vedic astrology interprets this star map enabling predictions to be derived from it. Planets activate during the period of life allotted to them. A malefic or afflicted planet in the horoscope will bring problems during the period ruled or influenced by it. What's done cannot be undone; how we repay the debt is negotiable. Yagya relieves the suffering.
