Not all places where images are installed are sacred; or, if they are sacred, not all of them are equally potent. Rama incarnated as Man for the re-establishment of Dharma; centuries later, Gopanna had the chance to worship Him on this hill and to talk and move with Him, as his Master and Lord. Bhadragiri, by his tapas, forced Rama to install Himself on his head. Truly, this place is a monument for the uniqueness of Bhakti as a means of realising the Lord.

All stones are not Ahalyas; nor are all feet those of Rama. It is only when the stone that is Ahalya is trodden by the feet of Him who is Rama that the resurrection takes place. What is the resurrection, really? It is the revelation of the divinity inherent in man. That is the result of contact with God-head; that can come only after years of contrition, which serves to remove the evil from the heart of man. (SSS Vol.3, p. 205)
