Sri Venkatesha Saptah🙏🙏🙏
(03.05.2022 to 10.05.2022)
Vaisakha Suddha Dasami > 11.05.2022
Starting frm Akshaya Thruteeya to Vaisakha Sukla Dasami it is sadhana (Sri Venkatesha) days. During this time it is highly meritorious & result oriented to profusely pray the Supreme God🙏Srinivasa for the welfare/well-being of the individual, family, society, country & humanity+
Reciting Sri Venkatesha Stothra (Brahmanda Purana) daily three times is a time tested remedy/rescue even in such precarious conditions/situations as mentioned in the sloka by the grace of the most compassionate God Srinivaasa; ++
Reciting this sacred Stothra, one will get relief/rid of from diseases and it will also give relief from bhandana (custody); ++
Sri Venkatesa Stothram an extract from Brahmaanda Purana as a dialogue between Lord Brahma and Sage Narada stands as a testimonial that adds to the glory; origin, significance and merits of Lord Srinivasa (Venkateswara).
++
Reciting this sacred Stothra on Lord Sri Venkateshwara daily three times is highly meritorious that will ward off the evil effects one is facing in this Kaliyuga. +++
As per pouranic legends it is believed and said that,
Lord Vishnu is dwelling in Aananda Nilaya at Tirumala Kshethra in Archaroopa in order to protect his devotees from the clutches of Kali. ++
KALI is so powerful that to combat & to contain Kali, only VaAyu (MukhyaPraAna) and above are capable. Therefore saadhana of the Supreme God Hari Sarvottama Lord Venkateswara with proper anusandhana > BharatiRamana MukhyaPraAnaanthargatha is very much required/essential. ++
Vaisakha maasam is the sacred month the divine marriage of Lord Venkateshwara (Srinivasa) and Goddess Padmavathi Devi took place.
In fact, this event of divine marriage forms the basis for the Supreme God Vishnu to manifest at Tirumala hills in this Kaliyuga. ++
For making this event happen Lord Vishnu came down to the earth from Vaikunta after having a wrangle (Leela of the Lord) with his consort Sri Maha Lakshmi. He took the form of Srinivasa & settled down at Aananda Nilaya @ Venkataadri after getting married with Padmavati Devi. ++
There is a tradition especially in Madhwa sampradaya to perform parayana of Sri Srinivasa Kalyana (Sri Venkatesha Kalyana) on two occasions viz.
(1) Starting from Akshaya Thrutheeya (Vaisakha Sukla Thrutheeya) ending with Vaisakha Sukla Dasami for a week days & the other is, ++
(2) during Navarathri (Aasswayuja Maasa) that also coincides with Tirumala Srivari Brahmotsavam at Tirumala Kshethra.
++
It is highly meritorious if one performs/sponsor or participate in Kalyaanotsavam of Lord Srinivaasa (Venkateswara) and also read/listen to the episode of Srinivaasa Kalyaana from Venkataachala/Venkatesha Mahaatmya. ++
Where Venkatesa Mahaatmya is read/heard, there; one will have good longevity; good health; good prosperity and eventually that will lead to salvation. +++
Sravana, Manana, Dhyaana, darshana of Sri Venkateswara...
Kalyana means marriage/auspicious. When it is Kalyana of the Supreme God, auspiciousness will be in abundance & it will be for universal welfare & well being of the humanity.
Above sloka stands as a testimony to the benevolence of Lord Srinivaasa who is an epitome of auspiciousness (Kalyaana); the one who bestows wealth & fulfills all the desires of his devotees who sings his glory; the one who is Anantha Kalyana Guna paripoorna - Hari Sarvottama. ++
Those who are #eligible as per their yogyata can do nitya Saligrama Abhisheka with Sri Venkatesha Stothra with Anusandhana.....
> Sri Bhaaratheeramana Mukhyapraanaanthargatha-
> Sri Padmavathi sametha Sri Lakshmi Venkateswara Swamy preetyartham...++
By Chanting whose holy name #VENKATA all the sins disappear, by whose darshana maAtram one will get blessed with eternal bliss;
By hearing whose glory from learned, one will get wisdom & all sins disappear; will get purified & steadily/progressively will get divine knowledge. ++
By meditating on Whom one gets austere which yields all good virtues;
Is it possible for anyone in this Universe to describe Lord #SrinivaAsa? the Supreme God > Hari Sarvottama; Even Lord Brahma cannot and could not do it.
++
He is #adHokshajaH the one Who is beyond perception through senses & beyond knowledge acquired through senses. His glory is infinite; He is highly meritorious among the meritorious. No one can describe or define Him precisely. He is "KaLAu vEnkaTanaAyaKa"🙏the Supreme God #VISHNU

Akshaya Thrutheeya is one of the most sacred days (Parvadina) in Hindu religious/spiritual calendar. Giving daana is one of the essentials of Akshaya Thrutheeya but, how it should be? that pleases the supreme God Sri Hari;
Lord Sri Krishna says in Bhagawadgita....
'Patram pushpam phalam toyam yo me bhaktya prayacchati
tad aham bhakty-upahritam ashnami prayatatmanah'
That means whoever offers Me with devotion a leaf, a flower, a fruit, or water, that I accept, offered with pure-mind & devotion. +
Today #Shani#Amaavaasya - Solar Eclipse (not visible in India) - Therefore Eclipse related austerities should not be undertaken.
Amaavaasya is Pithru thithi, Pithru DEvatas are abhimaani DEvatas for Amaavaasya. Performing Pithru (Thila) tharpana by those who are eligible is meritorious.
Pithrus will get immensely pleased from Paaraayana of Pavamana Sukta or Pithru sookta on the day of Pithru thithi ie. Amaavaasya.
