About Sri Japali Hanuman Temple-Jabali Teertham, Tirumala, Chittoor district, AP in Ananda Ashramam, Tirumala

The temple name ‘Japali’ is related with maharishi Jabali (pronounced Jaabaale).
This is the place where saint Jabali had felt the presence of Sri Anjaneya (Hanuman) and performed the penance in search of truth. The saint started his penance meditating upon Sri Anjaneya with Japam.
Quite some time after Lord Sri Hanuman appeared in person and assured the saint that he will be able to have darshan of Sri Rama along with Devi Sita. After this the saint felt strength of Sri Anjaneya Swamy and with renewed vigor he started meditating upon the truth with Japam.
After long time of Japam the saint was prompted to take bath in the water spring that would appear nearby. After some time water spring was created by none other than Bhagwan Sri Rama himself with his arrow. Saint Jabali now became ‘Japali’ took bath in the tank and had washed off all his sins then Lord Sri Rama and Devi Sita gave darshan to the saint.
