Lord Venkateswara on Simha Vahanam

Tirumala, Sept 23 :

 On the third day of the Srivari Brahmotsavam on Wednesday, Lord Venkateswara gave darshan outside his temple to lakhs of devotees, who come from all over the world  on his much publicized vehicle of Simha (Lion) .

The  incarnation of Lord  Vishnu  as  the  Mrugendrudu (most  ferocious and strong among the animals) is  an indication of  Lord Venkateswara as a powerful entity born to punish the erring  anti-social  elements  on the universe for protection of the righteous, poor  and the weaker sections in the society.

Being  a  Simha, is the fourth avatar of Lord  Vishnu  in his incarnation as  ‘Narasimha’ whom the puranas and legends speak in volumes of his drive against ‘Dushta’ (wrong  doers) and  protection of  the  weak, poor and the god fearing persons.

 In the Yoga shastra – a Lion was seen as an embodiment of power and speed. The valor of Lord Venkateswara who had made such an animal as his vehicle is thus displayed in abundance.  The statues of Lions in the Ananda Nilayam in the Srivari temple   complex displayed the affection of Lord Venkateswara for Lions.  

The idols of  Narasimha in Yoga mudra in the temple and also  the idol of Lakshmi Narasimha  on the way to Tirumala  exhibit  the  significance of  Lion (Simha) in the  celestial entourage of Lord  Venkateswara.

The TTD has organized special seating arrangements along the four mada streets to enable thousands of people to sit around the temple and witness the procession which lasted several hours in the evenings of Brahmotsavam every day.

The event is broadcast live by the Sri Venkateswara Bhakti channel which has set up live coverage of the event with its state of art equipment to give a glimpse of the Brahmotsvam event to lakhs of devotees all over the world.

The proceedings of Brahmotsvam could also be  viewed  on the Sify.com and the 16frames.com, both of whom have selected for the web casting of the Brahmotsvam-2009. All of other channels are also taking the feed from the SVBC channel.
