Tirumala Tirupathi is regarded as one of the most significant holy places of Hindhus.
Lord Venketeswara is the presiding deity here. Many disciples from various faith streams reach here to offer their prayers and to have a taste of the Divine.
Although this place is worshipped as ‘Vikunta’, the residence place of lord Vishnu on earth, there are others who come with great love seeking the God of their own faith.
This place is worshipped by mainly people of four kinds:
The Vaishanvas: people who love and worship Lord Vishnu (Venketeswara).
The Shivas: people who love and worship Lord Shiva.
The Shakthi (Divine Mother) lovers: people who love and worship Divine Mother.
The Dhyna yogis: people who have attained and also the people on the path of Dhyna Yoga (Meditation).
It is well known that Vaishnavas worship Lord Venketeswara deity, and believe that Vishnu takes care of the existence from here in this Kali Yuga time.
While Shivas, come here with great love to worship this deity, and believe that it is a Shiva deity and for this reason there are so many Nagabharanas (snakes worn as ornaments), which is generally the quality of Shiva and not Vishnu.
The Shakti, Divine mother worshippers say that this deity is of Divine mother, the divine cosmic energy who created all the existence, and even Shiva, Vishnu & Brahma. They also think that to hide this fact, the deity is hugely decorated, e.g. the nama, mark on the forehead is overly put covering the eyes and nose, just to hide the ornament worn on nose, which is worn only by women. Also the chest of the deity which is decorated as the residing wives of Lord Vishnu, Godesses Sri Devi and Bhu Devi, is believed as the chest of Divine mother.
The Dhyna Yogis come to this place to experience the intense cosmic energy and the divine vibrations available on the hill and in the temple. Dhyna yogi, Sri Subhash Patri say that there is a greatest Yogi in the hill here, right deep under the place where the deity is, who is still alive like Sri Guru Raghavendra Swamy.
What ever be the belief, it is an undebatable truth that this place is a highly energetic cosmic centre and one can definitely feel the divine energy here. The joy and the healing energy of the vibes here can only be experienced, and is beyond any description.
One just needs to be open and receptive to have a glimpse of the divine.
Finally, let me quote few lines from the lyrics of a song by Sri Ganapathi Sachidanada on Lord Venketeswara, which puts the whole of yoga in 3 steps:
The yogis win their 3 nadis (Ida, pingala and Sushumna), activate their 7 chakras, and open their Brahma Randra, the place in the head for superconscious experience to become one with you Govinda, the lord of supreme bliss.
Let we experience that supreme consciousness to be eternally blissful !!!
