Why will we apply butter for Lord Tirumala Venkateshwara Chin?

Because of Brugu maharshi’s insult of Lord Vishnu before Goddess Lakshmi, she gets disappointed and goes to Kolhapuram. Later on Lord Vishnu takes human avatar and starts meditation on Venkatadri.

   During the period of meditation, there will be formation of mud around him. In order to serve food to Lord Vishnu, cow named Kamadhenu starts pouring milk into the mud formation and relieves hunger of Lord Vishnu.

   One day protector of the cow gets doubt on the cow as it is was giving less milk. He follows the cow and sees that the cow is pouring its milk into the mud. He gets angry and tries to hit with a bamboo stick on the head of the cow.

   Lord Vishnu realizes the incident and tries to escape the cow and gets hurt. The hurt was below the beard. Because of this incidence there will always butter applied on the chin.

Why do we Chant Arjuna Phalguna on Thunder Storm | 10 Names of Arjun

Arjuna Phalguna: Thunderstorm occurs naturally; our ancestors say not to stay under a tree when there is a thunderstorm. If we observe storms occur mostly over trees. Also now a day we have learned that we should not be even below telephone poles or electric poles. Scientists say that there may be a slight discharge of electricity from them which is not safe to humans. Also many suggest that instead of standing on the ground sleeping is good, even if you are struck from storm sleeping position helps to lower the risk as storm energy is absorbed by earth (as earth acts as a neutral body) From our childhood, whenever there is a thunderstorm our parents utter the word “ Arjuna Phalguna ”, there is a small story from Mahabharat epic behind uttering those words. When Pandavas are returning from the forest, Arjuna brings Uttara to Sami tree for weapons. In order to rescue cows stolen from Duryodhana and Karna, Arjuna says to bring down weapons from the tree. During that period o

What is the influence of stars when girl reaches puberty stage? In India, people give a lot of importance when their child reaches puberty stage. It reminds the child parents that they have become old and their responsibilities have grown.             When it comes to astrology, people believe stars play important role in their lives. There is a belief that stars change their effect/influence on a girl. Stars have one kind of effect on a girl before her puberty and other effect after puberty. So when a girl reaches puberty stage, father (head of the family) rushes to astrologer to know stars influence on her child. By this they can know good or bad signs going to happen in future.              Even if the stars influence during the attainment of puberty is bad, there are few options to please the lord of the star by performing some pujas and homas.              People have much ambiguity about stars and influence on their lives. Here are some details... Nakshatra Influe
