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.
