TIRUPATI |
|
|
| In the lower
Tirupati we have the temple of Sri Kodanda Ramaswami. In Tiruchanur, which is two miles
from Tirupati is the temple of goddess Alamelumanga, the consort of the Lord on the top of
the bill. A visit to Tirupati will not be complete unless a Darsan of this Goddess is also
had. Sri Adisankara in the course of his tours is said to have established a
Dhanakarshana. Yantra at Tirupati. This is established by the fact that even today the
income of the temple from the offerings of the devotees is going up by leaps and bounds.
Lord Venkateswara is a 'Pratyakshamurthi and any prayer made to him in sincerity ond utter
surrender is never denied. Many instances of miracles said to have been done by prayer to
the Lord are current in the place. The puranas are
full and replete with the great deeds of the Lord. The Lord is worshipped with one hundred
and eight names, each one of which has a reference to the Puranas.
