Sri Ganapathy Sachchidananda Swamiji performed Prana Pratishta which is a ritualistic process whereby divine energy generated by chanting of sacred Vedic mantras at Homas is stored in Kalasha. Through Abhishekam the divine energy is ceremonially transferred to Lord Venkateswara in the Temple. This Prana Pratishta is believed to harmonize and unite the divine energy with the installed deities made of different stones. The stone Vigrahas are transferred into centers of energy and power.  Kumbhabhishekam is performed to benefit those who attend the function, visit the temple on a regular basis, and participate in the worship services. It is also believed that even those who are unable to visit the temple but by just beholding the Gopura reap spiritual energy of the presiding deities.
Attendance: The Hanuman Temple in Frisco is a popular destination, attracting large crowds, particularly on Saturdays. There may be as many as 15, 000 people may have visited Lord Venkateswara.
