For a Srivaishnavaite – thinking of
Him, praising Him all the time, going to temples of His, doing services to His
bhakthas and associating oneself in any form with various kainkaryams to
the Bhagwan Shri Maha Vishnu are the only real things.
Thirumala Thirupathi Temple –
the sacred and most reverred temple of Sri Venkateswara is
located on the seventh peak – Venkatachala hill of Tirumala. The Lord
stands tall as bestower of all boons and lakhs of people reach here to have a
glimpse – a few seconds darshan of the Lord. The holy Thirumala ~ ‘ Seshachalam’ is 853m above sea level and comprises of Seven
peaks : Seshadri, Neeladri, Garudadri, Anjanadri, Vrushabadri, Narayanadri and
Venkatadri. Tirumala Tirupathi
Devasthanam which manages the holy shrine has lot of projects in and outside
Thirumala. Srinivasa Kalyanam is being
performed at various places – this Idol is not Swami Malayappar, the
processional deity at the holy Thirumala Temple.
Among the various projects, Dasa
Sahitya Project propagates and popularises the literature of saint composers of
Karnataka, popularly known as Haridasas, who enriched Kannada religious
literature with their hymns. Through this project, TTD aims to acquaint people
with the lives and teachings of Haridasas, spirituality, righteousness and
morals and devotion to Lord Srinivasa in particular.
Today [5th July 2015], at
Thiruvallikkeni TTD Dasa Sahitya Project jointly with TKKNN Vyaya Charities,
Shri Bushya Padmanabachar family and Sri Partha Builders organised Sri
Srinivasa Uthsavam at the premises nearer Vijay Avenue [ex Sri Parthasarathi
swami sabha complex]. Hundreds of
devotees had darshan of Perumal this morning. In the evening there would be
purappadu, Unjal seva, Sahasra deepalankara seva, pushpa yagna and mangala
haarthi. Here are some photos of the function.
