3 weeks ago, I received an e-mail from a priest of the Mahasamsthanam, the temple at the birth place of Sripada Srivallabha in Pithapuram, India. Sripada is the first avatar of Lord Dattatreya in this time, called the dark age.
The priest wrote that in the biography of Sripada, the “Sripada Srivallabha Charitamrutam“, written in mid-14th century AD, there is a mention of a prophecy that the book will be translated into German language in the future.
He had come to know that I had done this German translation.
He mentioned that the temple team is now collecting proofs of “what has happened as said by Sripada swamy in the Charitramrutha”. He further mentioned that “some people are creating some disturbances about Charitramrutha”, and he asked me to connect with him.
Beginning of December, we had a Zoom call. I invited my friend Srikanth from California, for a better understanding of the matter, and he also speaks Telugu.
In the talk, I came to know that in Bharat (another name of India) the government is now putting the Hindu temples under their rule and protection, with the idea of protecting the old Hindu culture from foreign influences.
Some political groups promote this. Muslim mosques and also non-orthodox Indian temples are not seen as coming under the protection of the Indian government and thus, are perceived as “foreign”.
And this goes also for the Mahasamsthanam and the book Sripada Srivallabha Charitamrutam, which people consider as a fake and not Vedic / Hindu culture, since the Telugu version only came to light in 2001, after having been kept secret for 33 generations.
The temple team now wants to submit proof that the book and the prophecies contained therein are a genuine revelation by collecting proofs and submitting them to a committe of the religious authority of the Hindu religious center of Vedic learning Kanchi in Tamil Nadu to help them gain the government acceptance. The German version is of special interest for them, since it was was published in 2016 – no one could know in earlier times that this would happen – the Telugu book came out in 2001. So the German version is considered a proof of the genuine truth of the Sripada biography.
It is planned to prepare a room at the Mahasamsthanam containing the proofs. For this, they would like to have a copy of the German Charitamrutam and a video.
I have one last free copy from the book publication and said that I will send it to the temple when coming to India end of the year.
I asked the priest what they want from the video. The priest told me:
“I want you to include how your experience of writing Sripada Srivallabha Charitramrutha. Include what experience and miracles you had with Sripada Srivallabha swamy.”
I witnessed a number of mysterious things which happened while translating the book and beyond. So I created the following video last Thursday, 12 December 24; it was edited by a friend in Spain yesterday night (I informed the priest late last night). And it is published today, on the birthday of Lord Dattatreya, “Dattatreya Jayanti”, here in the blog and on YouTube. You can also download it here.
In the video, I also speak about how Master KPK / Dr. K. Parvathi Kumar supported the work very much, how a 5 languages website of the World Teacher Trust (WTT) on Sripada and Lord Dattatreya has been published in 2016 and how now the book has been published by WTT in 4 languages, besides German an edited English version and, on this basis, Spanish and French versions.
The video is called “The Miraculous Birth of the German Sripada Srivallabha Charitamrutam” – and it was indeed miraculous how this work happened. Here you find the YouTube version
The Anima Channel has published a video interview on “The Mystery of Dattatreya” in May 2023, where we speak about how I came into contact with the theme of Lord Dattatreya beginning of the 1980s and with Sripada 10 years ago.
