  1. Tirumala Tirupati Devasthanams, (TTD) is the trust that manages the Tirupati Balaji Temple. Apart from the sale of prasad, darshan tickets etc., a huge chunk of money comes from the gold offerings and donations made to the deity. It is estimated that TTD earns more than Rs 6 crores per day.

  1. The Laddus have been used as Prasad in the temple since the last 300 years. To counter the black market of Laddus developing on the name of Tirupati Balaji Temple, the laddus were patented under the Geographical Indications of Goods (Registration and Protection) Act. The pious offering was introduced in the year 1715 and today, and as of today more than 150000 laddus are made daily.
  2. On an average, more than 50000 pilgrims visit Tirupati Balaji Temple every day and on special occasions like the annual Brahmotsavam, the number of devotees can go up to 500,000 or more. Many people come from Chennai as it is the nearest metro city having an international airport. You can hire direct Chennai to Tirupati cabs for convenience.

  1. Tirumala is mentioned in the most important holy scripture ‘Ramayana’.  As per it, during the Treta Yuga, Lord Rama stayed in Tirumala for some time after winning the war against Ravana in Lanka.
  2. Having hair on the head is considered as a sign of beauty and Vedic wisdom urges us to control this distraction. Pilgrims express their devotion to Lord Venkateshwara by shaving off their hair at the temple.

  1. Oil lamps are used in worshipping Lord Venkateshwar and the amazing fact is that these lamps never get flickered out. It is believed that these lamps were lit up thousands of years ago and will remain like this forever.
  2. At one kilometre from the Tirumala temple, there is a natural stone arch which is an ancient wonder. A detailed survey was conducted by the Geological Survey of India scientists and it is found to be 2.5 billion years old. This natural stone arch has the shape of a serpent hood, Sankha and Chakra, which are all the sacred elements associated with Lord Vishnu’s celestial body.

  1. It is believed that Goddess Lakshmi Devi resides in the chest of Lord Vishnu. During Nija Roopa Darshanam ritual on Thursdays, Lord Venkateshwara’s idol is decorated with wood paste. When the decoration is removed, the impression on Lakshmi Devi remains. This imprint is then sold by the temple authorities.

10. Celebrities like Amitabh Bachchan and many others are seen visiting this temple very often. The jewellery related to this temple is very popular and believed to be holy and blissful. You will find many people wearing Tirupati Balaji bracelets as a symbol of their devotion and love to Lord Venkateshwara.
The whole process of standing in a queue for Darshan could be tiring. To have more comfort in your trip, it is recommended that you travel in Chennai to Tirupati cab. Savaari.com is a reliable provider of Chennai cab service.

5 Ways How Modi Enhances Women Entrepreneurship in Gujarat

Bangalore: Nurtured with evergreen simplicity, the women of Gujarat have flourished with decades of hard work and dedication.

The concept of 33 koti devata in Hinduism!

The concept of 33 koti devata in Hinduism: The Vedas refer to not 33 crore Devatas but 33 types (Koti in Sanskrit) of Devatas. They are explained in Shatpath Brahman and many other scriptures very clearly. "Yasya Trayastrinshad Devaa Ange Sarve Samaahitaa, Skamma Tam Bruhi Katamah Swideva Sah”. ~(Atharva Veda 10-7-13) Which means: with God’s influence, these thirty-three (supporting devta) sustain the world. In Brhadaranyaka Upanishad while discussing Brahman, Yajnavalkya is asked how many gods are there. He says that there are three hundred and three and three thousand and three gods. When the question is repeated? He says, thirty three. When the question is again repeated he says, six. Finally, after several repetitions he says ONE. (Chapter I, hymn 9, verse 1) The number 33 comes from the number of Vedic gods explained by Yajnavalkya in Brhadaranyaka Upanishad – the eight Vasus, the eleven Rudras, the twelve Adityas, Indra and Prajapati. (Chapter I, hymn 9, verse 2...
