SWAMI SRI VEERABRAHMENDRA
A Monograph on Pothuluru Veerabrahmendra Swamy
Veerabrahmam's predictions stood the test of time and a major portion of them came true. His knowledge of future forms an integral part of his predictions. Through his grand vision of future he was able to guide the people to be alert and cautions and put their lives in order and discipline.
In fact the Kalajnanam was an established convention which was obtaining in this country from times immemo¬rial. Of the eighteen Mahapuranas of sage Veda Vyasa, the Bhavishya Purana was meant only to alert and caution people of the coming untoward incidents and put them on the safe path. The celebrated sage Apastamba refers to this Purana as an authority in one of his Dharma Sutras and says that in God's creation some great persons are required to remain on this earth as seeds for the future creation of the human race. Such persons are able to forecast the future events and the prognostications are as easy for them as the daily weather forecasts as for the regular meteorologists.
A good number of Puranas indulged in making possible predictions and phophecies wherever it was found possible for them to do so. The Bhagavata Purana and Harivamsa Purana are also no exceptions.
In the penultimate chapter of Bhagavata, there are phophecies relating to the period up to the very end of Kaliyuga. The Pratisarga parva of Bhavishya Purana appears to be an elaboration of the same. The very name of Bhavishya Purana will be meaningful only when it contains revelations and prophecies.
In European countries also great seers like Mother shipton and Michael Nostradamus and astrologers like Lily, John Dee and cheiro made predictions which came true to a great extent. Their works contain ample revelations and prophecies.
The Kalajnanam of Veerabrahmam also contains ample revelations and prophecies. These prophesies are so strongly believed by people that the very kalajnana is called “Sandra Sindhu Veda” which means that it is considered as pious as the Holy Scripture, and its meaning is as deep as the ocean. It is believed that the scribe of the palm leaves also was the Swami himself and the manuscripts are still available in the Mutt at Kandimallayapalle. They are, of course, not kept open for public consultation, as they are daily worshipped by priests appointed for the purpose.
