Yeah, you have read it right. Here I am going to describe a cosmic drama that took place in 1982 in the most sacred Tirumala Hills. In 1982, the TTD Board of Tirumala was celebrating its Golden Jubilee year. The Board with Sri P V R K Prasad as its Executive Officer (EO) held a meeting with top officials and Archakas to decide on what to do, to commemorate the completion of its 50th year.

|| राम नाम - a Veda by itself ||
राम is a Tāraka Mantra, the utterance or invocation of which, is the only cure for the disease of संसार (worldly ties).

In this thread, let us try to drink the sweet honey of राम नाम and analyse various interpretations of this name. It is believed that a child gets all its qualities from one who names it.

वसिष्ठः परमप्रीतो नामानि कुरते तदा
(वा. रा. 1-18-22)

Here,Vasishta,the son of Brahma,the one who has controlled all his senses and whose knowledge is deeper than ocean,named the newborns of Dasaratha.

वसुदेवसुतं देवं कंसचाणूरमर्दनम्
देवकीपरमानन्दं कृष्णं वंदे जगद्गुरुम् ||

How many of us know Krishna had sons and grandsons ? Have we ever seen Krishna along with his sons and grandsons in any temple ?
Read this complete thread to know about it... Brahmanda Purana, compiled by Vyasa says that there was a king named Sumathy in whose dream Mahavishnu appeared.The king requested Him to give dharshan in the form of Parthasarathy(Arjuna's Charioteer)rendering Gita. So, Mahavishnu directed him to go to Brindharanya to do thapas.
