 Lord Sri Venkateswara at Parashakthi Temple.

Lord Sri Venkateshwara has Himself actively manifested in His glorious "boon" giving form at the Parashakthi Temple , we are most fortunate to have this "Divine Energy" amongst us, to make it easier for all of us to receive Balaji's grace. The installation was performed in June 2008, with Prana Pratishta, performed with proper rituals, mantras, yantras, tantric instructions and other necessary mystical instructions  given to Dr. G. Krishna Kumar in a deep meditative kundalini experience by Divine Mother Parashakthi "Herself".

Vigrahams of Sri Venkateshwara, Bhoodevi, Sri Devi and Garuda Bhagwan were made and consecrated at Tirupathi in cooperation with TTD. 

Vaikunta Ekadashi.

Vaikunta Ekadashi is an important festival dedicated to Lord Vishnu. In India, this day is the most important religious day at the Tirupathy Balaji temple, Srirangam Ranganatha temple and Bhadrachalam temple. In Kerala it is known as Swarga Vathil Ekadashi.

The significance of this day can be traced to the Padma Purana. Lord Vishnu took the form of his female shakthi named "Ekadashi" and vanquished the demon Muran. In celebration of this event, whoever observes this Ekadashi day will enter Vaikuntam which is the abode of Lord Vishnu. The "Vaikunta Dwaram" or "the gate to the heaven" is opened on this day. This is the passage encircling the innermost sanctum of the Lord.
