The Blissful Balaji, Lord VenkataramaNa, Govinda!

 

 

ABOUT BALAJI:

 

--------------------------------------------------------------------

Venkataramana or  Balaji epitomizes the feature  of the Supreme godhead that preserves and sustains all things and beings in the manifested world.

 

He  is  everything  that  is  to  known.In  the  timeless  begining  he was  there as the  one  without  a  second.  He  is the Preserver or Sustainer of life, UPHOLDER OF  the principles of Sathya , Shanthi and Dharma (Righteousness).

 

 

At  the  time  of  his  divine  descent, in the  human form with his  four arms  He is shown carrying in his hands a conch (shankha), a discus (chakra) and a mace (gada).  He wears a crown, two earrings,  a garland (mala) of flowers around His neck and a gem (kaustuba) on his chest.

 

He is described having a dark colour ,representing  ether, the fifth and highest element after air and earth and fire and water; the substance composing all heavenly bodies. The lower hands are stretched downwards to ask devotees to have faith and surrender to him for protection

 

 

The Sastras, Puranas, GREAT VAISHNAVAS  SAINTS and Alwar hymns UNANIMOUSLY declare that, in the Kali Yuga, one can attain mukti, only by worshipping Venkata RAMANA or Sri VENKATACHAPATHI.

Lord Venkateswara (Srinivasa or Balaji) is worshipped as the incarnation of Lord    Sri Narayana and hailed as the Lord of Kali Yuga! There are many legends that describe the incarnation of Maha Vishnu as Srinivasa, His marriage with Padmavati who is the incarnation of Goddess Maha Lakshmi,

 

 

Most of our ancient texts declare that one can attain moksha in Kaliyuga only by worshipping Lord Sri Venkateswara.

 

 

This is  good  news  for the spiritual  seekers.

 

Also  for the MATERIALISTIC PEOPLE,  Lord Venkateswara will bestow prosperity and  wealth in abundance to devotees who VISIT  THIS  TEMPLE  REGULARLY.

 

In  general , Time flies   by thick  and  fast fast like a stormy wind and man's life is melting away quickly like a block of ice in the sun. Everything around is undergoing sea change, but man's perception of  the  world remain unchanged. Obsessed with the external senses, preoccupied with the acquisition of material  objects, man's life is becoming stressed  out everyday and man is losing his mental  balance. Anxiety, fear, suspicion are dominating him.

 

 

In  the  kaliyuga  only  the  darshan  of  Lord  balaji  and his  constant remembrance  can take  away  man from the  above  mentioned  problems. Hence our temple  would  endeavor to provide  the  much  needed  spiritual support.

 

 

So  Lord has  everything to  give for all kinds  of  seekers.

 

 

Lord Venkateswara has four hands. In the upper right hand, he holds the Chakra (wheel), meaning  the wheel of  time.

 

 

In the upper left, he has a Sankha (conch), which resembles (OM) signifying the four Vedas.

 

 

The right lower hand is directed towards his feet, a sign  to the bhaktas to surrender to him in all their troubled times.

 

 

The lower left hand rests on the left thigh, telling the devotees that the cycle of births and deaths is just knee deep and he would take care of those who totally surrender to him with intense devotion  and  forgive their mistakes.

 

Garuda is his   Vahana (Vehicle). Favourite prasadam to Lord Venkatachalapathi  include laadu, vada, adai, tamarind rice and curd rice.

ABOUT BLISSFUL

 

Sri BALAJI IS eternally BLISSFUL. HE is Sath – Chith - Ananda (Being-Awareness- Bliss). HIS bliss is everlasting, more effulgent than the sun, whiter and purer than snow, subtler than ether in space, BALAJI RESIDES in all, permeating the entire cosmos and shining in every atom.

 

BALAJI is joy, love and bliss. all the multifarious manifestations are the projections of his own Reality. This expansion of BALAJI gives supreme Ananda (bliss).

 

 

IN THIS TEMPLE you will experience the ineffable and permanent joy of the LORD BALAJI.

 

if you  visit  the  temple  frequently, Your lives will become a continuous saga of bliss and peace.

 

 

To fall in love with BLISSFUL BALAJI is the greatest of all romances; to seek Him, the greatest adventure; and to find Him, the greatest human achievement." And imagine how easy this whole process can be; Life, then, becomes an unbelievable blissful dream. You will get a real state of this when YOU VISIT OUR TEMPLE.

 

Supreme Bliss of Balaji IS THE goal of all beings, the great treasure   covetable by everyone, the incomparable abode. All beings live by partaking of a small jot of this Divine Bliss. Even the totality of the happiness of the whole world is a minute drop or aspect of the Bliss of BLISS. Hence, divine happiness, The Bliss of BALAJI is an undivided essence, absolute in nature. The abode of BALAJI is the eternal form of unlimited Bliss: Thus, only BALAJI is the supreme form of God. So, remember Him adore Him and experience His Divine BLISS HE is the ‘Bliss of the Bliss. SO OUR MOOLOVAR DEITY IS CALLED BLISSFUL BALAJI.
