Srinivasa Kalyanam

      Hey guys. This is the Mahaperiyava Satsangam that my mom did on August 18, 2019. In this Satsangam, my mom talked about Srinivasa Kalyanam. She started off by talking about the greatness of the Thirupathi Punya Kshethram. Thirumalai has been existant from the age of Krutha Yugam. In today's time, Kali Yugam, Lord Venkateshwara is a Prathyaksha (Tangible presence) Deivam for anyone. Even now, millions of devotees are thronging the shrine every day. She talked about how MahaVishnu descents from Vaikundam to Boologam and lands on Thirumalai and gives grace to all the devotees. Thirupathi was originally known for it's name, Varaha Kshethram, but ever since Lord Venkateshwara came to Thirumalai, the name, Thirupathi, became prominent. She talked about the interesting story of how Lord Srinivasa got married to Padmavati and this is called as Srinivasa Kalyanam. I found this topic very interesting because we had just traveled to India this summer and we visited a number of temples over there, including Thirupathi. The Thirupathi experience was an unforgettable one and the darshan was very pleasing. It was very interesting to hear the greatness of Thirumalai while recollecting my memories of us going to Thirupathi. This was also a completely new story to me. It is also eye-opening that the Murthy that we see in Thirupathi today is the Lord himself. I am so glad that we went to India this summer and went to all these wonderful places to relate to the story easily. Here is the video below for Srinivasa Kalyanam. Enjoy!
