Religious fervour marked the sixth day of annual Brahmotsavams as the processional deity of Lord Sri Kalyana Venkateswara Swamy was taken in a procession around the four mada streets, while riding the ‘Hanumanta Vahanam’, here on Sunday.
‘Navavyakarana’ pundit
Lord Hanuman, considered as one of the foremost devotees of Lord Vishnu during the Rama Avatar, is hailed as an exponent of the four Vedas, ‘Navavyakarana’ pundit and the destroyer of Lanka. He is also considered as an embodiment of wisdom, success, bravery, health, fearlessness, strength and common sense. One of the hillocks of Tirumala Hill range is also named after Lord Hanuman, ‘Anjanadri’ and he is known as ‘Vayu Putra’ of Anjana, born out of power of ‘tapas’.
As an ardent devotee, Hanuman carried Lord Sri Rama on his shoulders and it is said that the secrets of ‘Atma Tatva’ were taught to the former, a loyal disciple.
After performing ‘Vasantotsavam’ to the deity of Lord Sri Kalyana Venkateswara Swamy at Srivari Kalyana Mandapam, ‘Gaja Vahana Seva’ was accorded to the processional deity in the evening.
‘Puli Vahanam’
Meanwhile, Lord Kapileswara Swamy along with Goddess Parvati was taken out in a procession on the ‘Puli Vahanam’, on the sixth day of annual Brahmotsavams at Sri Kapileswara Swamy Temple.
