Mantralaya-22

(Navaratri Festival of Tirumala Swami)

Background

The Navaratri Festival of Tirumala Swami celebrations and Venkataramana Govinda Govinda are described here in the form of poem
 

Meaning

The Grandeur of Navaratri is thrilling in all the houses.The oil and ghee nanda deepas, in the name of Tirumala Swami exhibit His grace and anugraha.This Navaratri lights and delights our life on the right path of SAATVIKA BADUKU.Early morning the household ladies will sprinkle water on the floor of the outside the main door and put RANGAVALLI(RANGOLI),the ladies will get the Aasheervaada of ASHWINEE DEVATEGALU.As early morning the Gods will be loitering at that time.The preparations for pooja with a smile during this Navaratri are all the blessings of Mantralaya Rayaru and Tirumala SrinivasaDevaru I believe.

All the young and old after bath with kum-kum on their foreheads go to beg at least five houses saying Venkataramana Govinda Govinda.This is a practice invogue among the Srinivasa devotees. Whatever things are received while begging in these days are to be cooked and consumed by the members of the family only.It is very important to note that the cooked food is the Prasada of Tirumala  SrinivasaDevaru.

On this occasion,Myself and my wife are highly impressed by  two small kids Abhinavpurna and Vishrut who came for GOPAALA they are too young wearing a silk small dhoti and Rayara sheshavastra,holding the silver small plate in their hands,with kum-kum on their foreheads saying Venkataramana Govinda Govinda in their own childish language.Really this made us happy.Their Govinda,Namaskara to Rayaru Venkataramana impressed a lot to the houses they went,looking like twins.Fully blessed by Ashwinee Devategalu-Mantralaya Rayaru-Tirumala SrinivasaDevaru. My heart felt that definitely they will belonging to the families of Mantralaya devotees.

Pooja-Naivedya-Mangalaraati will be offered to Swami and food to the devotees.

Evening the VENKATESHA MAHAATMYAE purana vaachana and purana shravana in all the houses,in temples and Mutts will be going on.The whole environment will be soothing with Divinity.

Thus we all praise and pray Sri Mantralaya Rayaru and Tirumala Srinivasa Devaru on this auspicious Ashweeja Maasa.We will be enlightened by the best which is aggreable to Swami.

God means TirumalaSwami-Saint-Guru means Mantralaya Rayaru is known to the Saatvika Devotees.
