In 15th century, Annamacharya times, the same present situation of “ Lockdown “ prevailed long time.

Ohoho yanaro Paari, saahasaana thirugaro junta Paari
Oh! Oh! Say Oh Oh! , see, what a situation , anybody if at all wants to roam around out doors, roam around, maintaing a distance from the second next to you. So, Social Distance was ordered in that time.
Konetiraayadu kori nidrincee naade, aanakamai. Jaaleeyaro. Junta paaree
Penipatti vaakilla beegamudralaaya nidi, kaanimmani vaaincharo ganta Pari”
The Temple of Lord Sree Venkateswara was locked and sealed, and doors were tied with tweeded ropes, for a long period of. time . Lord Sree Venkateswara wished peaceful Sleep. All activities were ceased, inorder to maintain silent atmosphere for Lord’s Relaxation. Temple bells rang timely. This was a reason Spiritual, given above.
Theirumani managenu thirugaraadevvariki, Marala. nelugincharo magapari
Paraga Devathalellaa Badakelamunnaaru, Iravaaya soorya chandrulu Eduru paari”
Thirupathi was in silence. No movements out side, only silence. Devatas were also in a Relaxing state. In sky’s, Sun and Moon are seen , opposite to one another .. That was an Eclipse’ occurrence. A special celestial phenomena appeared at that time. May be, such a rare planitory position, a hazardous
climate was created, to which, if People are exposed, will get diseases. A Vicious atmosphere might had been surrounded everywhere. Thirupathites were requested to stay home.
Sree Venkateswarudu chittaginchee lonade, kovaramennikaro Koti paari.
AAvala bangaaru gudiyalu. Ghalluranagaa , thaavula Hanthuni paari””
As Lord Venkateswara was relaxing in the closed temple,all devotees we’re requested to wish their desires , grants from the outside of the temple . Let they be crores of wishes, all of them were granted by Lord without fail.
Lord Hanuman was guarding outside the locked temple.
To everybody’s astonishment a wonderful melodious golden anklets sound was heard from inside of the temple .
In this song, Sri Annamacharya sang the divine cosmic reasons for closing the temple for a long time. Thirupathi was kept in silence and stay in .
History Repeats, the same conditions are prevailing in present days. We too following the same life saving measures. Times are different , but troubles are the same .
Reasons are different , remedies are the same . Past is repeating , time speaks silently.
