![]() ![]() One aunt went with her husband to offer her hair and then we reached the room. We reached Tirumala by evening, had coffee, dosa etc. In my mind itself for hours together…i was mingling with others who came to pilgrimage but in my mind, the chanting was going on… I truly imagined how it would have been if really Sri Venkateswara is in my heart, imagined as if i am offering flowers to Sai and venkateswara and continued to chant.Īt times i also chanted “Om Namo Naarayanaya Om Namo Venkatesaya Om Namo Srinivaasaaya” Reached Tirumala by evening : I started chanting Sai Vengusa Sai Vengusa Sai Vengusa I used to chant Sai Sai Sai always and this time since i am going to Tirupati, i felt like calling Sri Venkateswara swamy as ” Vengusa ”. ![]() So the simple way to chant was discovered as “Sai Vengusa ” I too totally don’t have any idea about it but i liked the name “Vengusa ”. Many sai devotees has contradictory views to this concept of Narasimha swamiji as they feel Shirdi Sai baba himself is a incarnation and that he has no Guru. Narasimha swamiji has mentioned in one of his books that the Guru of Saint shirdi sai baba is known as Vengusa and he has meditated in Tirumala for over 12 years worshipping Sri Venkateswara swamy. Chanting “Sai Vengusa ” Contineously all through the journey towards Tirupati : In 2007, my neighbors planned to go Tirupati and i was asked to join them. My father always used to say from 2005, you must go Tirupati because “The one who goes Tirupati and returns will have a positive change in their life ” Years later, a Sacred Journey to have darshan of Lord Sri Venkateswara : Some strange feeling which made me feel this is a God of rich people, who blessed them for the money they offer in the temple and that Sri Venkateswara won’t bless ordinary people like me. ![]() Somehow i never really had the attachment or lets say devotion on Lord Venkateswara of Tirumala, Tirupati as i felt having named after this God, he never favoured me and all the i desired in my career and personal life never happened. I used to worship Lord Ganesha and Murugan a lot for years along with Shirdi Sai baba. Sri Venkateswara sacred Darshan My devotion towards Lord Venkateswara : I was too small to understand we are going to have darshan of God and got fed up with the waiting. All i remembered about that trip was we were asked to sit in a huge que like cell and every few hours, the grill will be opened to reach the next few cells/rooms where devotees had to wait to take darshan of Lord Sri Venkateswara. When i was very little in early 1980’s, my parents had took me to Tirupati. Darshan of Lord Venkateswara teaches us the art of patience – Wait …wait.Your turn will come : What came true was my Love for Lord Sri Venkateswara. Another reason was since my fathers name is Chandrasekaran he thought his son will become someone as big a scientist as Sir.C.V.Raman. When ever i am fed up with life and ask my parents why they named me Venkatraman my father replies “I was in Tirupati when i got news about your birth”. One of his friend gave him the news “your son has born” since the office people got a phone call from my mothers village. Those were the days where you can’t send good news by mobile phones. My father had been with his friends to have darshan of Lord Sri Venkateswara in Tirumala Tirupati after official duty in Chennai. It was early morning on November 4th 1978. The God who opens his eyes to bless devotees who chants his holy name with love and devotion Sri Venkateswara Swamy of Tirumala Hills – Tirupati A journey to have darshan of God who dwells in seven HillsĪ dream vision that made me realize how God responds to the love we show on them. ![]()
