Who is Vimana Venkateshwara Swamy?



Vimana Venkateshwara Swamy 1

In order to bless his devotees, Lord Venkateshwara left Vaikunta and came to earth. Tirupati is considered to be kaliyuga Vaikunta. Gopuram of the temple is coated with gold plate. On the top of golden gopuram having silver gates, Lord Sri Venkateshwara resides. (Silver gates resemble to show the location of the lord). Many of the devotees after having the blessing of Lord Venkateshwara come out and see Vimana Venkateshwara Swamy who is above the golden gopuram. 

On lord Vishnu's order, Garukmanta bought Vimana Venkateswara from Vaikunta. You can find him on the gopuram vayuvya (north-west) direction. Lord is placed on top to give blessings for gods, birds and other creatures.

Vimana Venkateshwara Swamy 2As gods have different timings and they have nothing to do with our day and night timings, all the gods who exist in different worlds on earth top and core part gods can get blessings. Next time when you visit Tirumala see the foot of Lord Vimana Venkateshwara and take his blessings.

 Mistakes done while lighting a lamp 


  • Ladies should not light the lamp in a bowl type things.
  • You should not light the lamp directly with match sticks, if needed you can use a candle or put cotton in a spoon with little oil and use that as a medium.
  • Never make a single cotton pad to light a lamp.
  • It is recommended to light a lamp with agarbarthi/ intense stick.
  • When you light a lamp you need to apply kumkam on three sides and put few akshintalu (rice granules made by adding little turmeric powder)
  • We should always light keeping Lord Vishnu on the right side. Never keep the lamp in front of the Lord.
  • If at all if the lamp gets off, then before you light again you need to say 108 times "Om Namah Shivaya" panchakshari mantra.

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

Image
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...

Star influence when attaining puberty

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.    ...

We don’t have the power to clean such feelings that is why we do minimum duty of cleaning our whole body and visiting temple for lord’s blessings. Here head bath resembles god that as we have cleaned our body and please forgive our sins and give us mental peace. If crow shouts, do relatives come? Years back when there is no proper communication medium like mail, phone, and letters. We use to send our communication with the help of trained birds. If a new bird is recognized by a crow when they start producing sounds. Listening to its sound we use to imagine that someone has got some communication in their village. With that image, we used to think that there are relative’s coming to our house. Similarly if at all a crow dies and falls in front of us, we shou...
