We can find all the elaborate preparations,cleaning and decoration with Bhakti and Joy. Devotees will light the Deepas in the name of their family god and Goddess(Kulaswami and Kulaswamini). Nine Says and Nine Nights Deepas are constantly lighting and delighting. So this Festival is called NAVARATRI. The most popular Festival to the HINDUS.
In Tirumala the grandeur of Navaratri
of Sri Srinivasa Devaru cannot be described in words. Brahmotsava, all
several Utsavas of Lord Sri Venkateshwara-the Rhythm of the sacred
MANTRA : OM SRI VENKATESHAYA NAMAHA will be echoing in the surroundings.
In the name of Kulaswami the Mantralaya Devotees will have Nanda Deepas
during this Navaratri one pair of Ghee Deepas and one pair of oil Deepas,total
four Deepas,thus praying the Lord Sri Hari- Sri Srinivasa to fulfill always
the most desired
Chaturvidha Purushaartha and Bless.
In Mantralaya like this Hundreds of Deepas-Nanda Deepas in front of Mantralaya
Mandira-Sri Raghavendrateertharu-Gururaya is worth seeing, Praying,
Worshipping and Surrendering. In Mantralaya and Tirupati we
can find all the time Navaratri. During this Ashweeja Maasa this
Navaratri is a special one. We do all this and Pray to Rayaru and Swami
to Bestow and Protect. We are purified, safe in the way of Bhakti and Punya.
The Avatara of Sri Hari as Srinivasa is to do the Uddhhaara of Vedavati and Bhrugurishi. Yashoda and all the Punyajeevis(souls) of the three Lokas Swarga, Martya and Paataala-Gods,Gandharvas, Yakshas,Apsaras,Rishis,Naagas(Sesha-Serpents) and all the Satvikas must see the Marriage of Sri Hari – Srinivasa along with Lakshmi is the aim of this Avatara,for the sake of us for our benefit and help lord Sri Hari has taken Avataras.
All these incidents are to be remembered
during this Navaratri and Pathana of Bhavishyottara Purana by the Devotees
during this Navaratri Festival All the Pontiffs have their
Mutts in Tirumala for the Benefit of the Devotees who visit for Swami
Darshana. Thus following practically the Essence of Tatvas of Sri Anandateertharu.
The Mantralaya Devotees during this Navaratri go to five houses and
accept the handful of Rice saying – VENKATARAMANA GOVINDA GOVINDA with
satisfaction.Ghatta of Sri Srinivasa
Devaru-Ghantamaala-Pooja-Naivedya-Mangalarati
and holding the DEEVATIGE saying YELU KOTI GOVINDA GOVINDA all express
and exhibit the DIVINITY-SANCTITY and the Anugraha of Kulaswami SrinivasaDevaru.
Mantralaya Rayaru attained Punya of Srinivasa Devaru and is distributing
magnanimously and protecting the Devotees. During this Navaratri the Gurustotra
wordings of Sri Appanacharya:DEEPA SAMYOJANAAT GNYAANAM PUTRA LABHO BHAVAET
DHRUVAM-Devotees fully with faith, placing the Nanda Deepas are Blessed
in the Yard of Tungabhadra in the shelter of Mantralaya Rayaru
are benefitted greatly.
