Why Tirumala Venkateshwara Swamy hands posture is different?

All those devotees who have visited Tirumala to have the blessing of Lord Venkateshwara might have wondered why lord’s hands are like that. If you have noticed lord hands are positioned in such a way that they are seeing land. The meaning for that posture is: all the devotees who come to seeking lords blessing and who say lords legs are their place to worship, will not be suffered from difficulties. He will always be with them and help in overcoming difficulties and show the proper path to reach their destination.



If you have noticed you will see the same thing in Sri Venkateshwara Suprabhatam. Next time when you visit Tirumala see carefully his "apadamastakam" and never close your eyes until you leave his presence. It is believed that once in a life you need to visit Tirumala so that you can get free from all sins and attain moksha.

Importance of Karthika bath:

During the month of Karthika, if we do karthika bath before sunrise we attain wealth. Doing bath by immersing our body until neck level will cure stomach related problems.

During the rainy season, land absorbs water to increase the ground water level. This will improve the magnetic field of the earth. During this Karthika month, water flowed in rivers will have good magnetic field in it. This is why our ancestors recommend us to bath in the river or oceans.

Karthika month is the best season to perform all kind of pujas and this season is liked by Lord Ayyappa. Prayers done during this season by having a river or ocean bath by lighting a lamp is considered to have purity.
