Have you ever visited Tirumala, the sacred abode of Lord Srinivasa, stood for hours in long queues, only to experience a fleeting glimpse of the deity for mere seconds? Yet, immediately afterwards, you feel an ultimate bliss and happiness and an inexplicable urge to return? In this episode of "Sri Venkateswara Vrata Vaibhavam", we delve into the profound mystery behind this powerful attraction that draws millions of devotees from every corner of the world over ages.

Despite seeing Lord Srinivasa as a stone idol (sila murti), he is self-manifest (Swayambhu) and eternally present in his all-encompassing Vishwarupa, standing in the Anandanilayam. Visiting Tirumala feels like entering a different dimension, a place where the human mind, typically rooted in the materialistic world, cannot fully comprehend the reality.

The sources explain that a great cosmic energy continuously flows at the deity's location, originating from the supreme force beyond galaxies. This energy has been present since the Lord descended there. The entire area of Tirumala Hills reverberates with this great cosmic energy. Being within this energy field contributes to the feeling of happiness and well-being, preventing strain or fatigue even after standing for hours. This powerful cosmic energy is a primary force that continuously pulls devotees back to the temple.

Furthermore, a deep connection with the soul is highlighted. The soul feels extremely happy in the presence of the Lord at Tirumala and it is the soul that urges devotees to return. Tirumala is described as the original native place of the soul, being the first place in the universe where creation, including all souls, originated as Lord Brahma started creation there. The soul, unlike the logical mind, remembers the tremendous bliss experienced from potentially visiting hundreds or millions of times across countless births and different yogas (Dwapar, Kali, Satya, Treta). The soul, unlike the logical mind, knows this deep connection.

Discover how many gods visit daily in the early morning hours (around 1:30 am to 6:00 am) to have darshan, and how pure-hearted devotees might sometimes feel their divine presence.

Finally, the episode touches upon Lord Srinivasa's great love and benevolence towards his devotees. He is constantly aware of our desires, emotions, thoughts, and what we truly need, even if we forget to express it during the brief darshan. He takes care of devotees by granting what is needed, which may be different from what is wanted.

Join us to understand how the powerful combination of cosmic energy, the soul's deep connection to its original home, and the Lord's divine presence and love creates the irresistible magnetic pull that keeps calling us back to Tirumala.

This podcast episode details the origins and significance of the Sri Venkateswara Vrata Kalpam, a simple devotional practice designed for the Kali Yuga. The speaker recounts a divine vision where Lord Venkateswara instructed him to create an easily accessible ritual to alleviate suffering in the current age. This resulting work, which includes five chapters (the first from the deity and the others from four great sages), provides two methods for observance: a detailed traditional approach and a simpler option of merely reading the stories. The text highlights the wide reach and positive impact of this vrata, claiming it is performed globally and has brought about miraculous changes in countless lives, requiring no strict rules or fasting.

This Episode from "Srivari Vaibhavam-Part 3" narrates two stories illustrating the profound devotion of individuals to Lord Venkateswara of Tirumala. The first tells of Byragi Rangayya, a devotee known for his spiritual practices and ability to predict weather, who eventually merged with the divine near the Swami's feet. The second recounts the life of Dasari Krishnayya, another ardent devotee who yearned to visit the mountain temple but ultimately achieved union with the Lord at the Alipiri steps. The passage suggests that these two devotees were the same soul in different lifetimes and highlights the power of continuous remembrance and surrender to the Lord as a path to overcoming worldly troubles and attaining peace and grace in the Kali Yuga.
