Divine Saptaham at Guruvayur
The possibility of a yatra with Sri Swamiji is indeed something that all devotees crave for. We yearn that Sri Swamiji would take us to a particular divine kshetra, show us the glory of the temples there, talk about the mahans who have glorified the place, would tell us things about the kshetra that we would not have heard or seen anywhere before, that he would lead the parayana, do kirtans, katha and so on. More than anything, such instances are also great opportunities to have the association of our Guru throughout the day. And every moment with him is magical and extraordinary, if only he graces us with the eyes to see it as such! Read the experience of a devotee who had the fortune to the attend a Divine Saptaham in the holy kshethra of Guruvayur.

Tirupathi Venkateshwara Vaibhavam – 3
Stories of Vrishabhadri & Narayanadri
In the last few episodes of Sri Venkatesha Vaibhavam we were blessed to enjoy the stories behind the descent of the seven hills through Sri Ramanujamji’s lectures. Now let’s continue to enjoy the glory, grandeur and majesty of Srinivasa Perumal based on the discourses about the leelas of Lord Sri Venkateshwara by Sri Poornimaji, given at Sri Aishwarya Srinivasa Perumal Temple @ Namadwaar Houston in December 2022.
“The hill that shows us the way to attain the lotus feet of perumal; the hill that annihilates the effects of all our past actions; the hill which is Sri Vaikuntam on earth; the hill filled with bodies of sacred waters like the Swami Pushkarini; the sight of that hill which can be only earned due to the fruit of accumulation of all past merits; the mere sight of that hill which blesses one with all objects of human pursuits; the hill that is loved and sought after by both the celestials and the people of earth; the hill talked about even in our Vedas.” sings the great Vaishnavacharya Sri Vedanta Desikar.
Every peak in Tirumala has its own unique story and thus its special name. Let us read and enjoy about two of the peaks – Vrishabadri and Narayanadri
