Story Of Tirupati Balaji

The story starts with Rishi Bhrigu, one of the Saptarishis, who was supposed to represent God's richness, thus the Rishis led by Rishl Kashyapa consulted him when they chose to perform a yagna on the banks of the Ganga before the coming of Kaliyuga.

When the sages could not answer Narada's questions regarding why they were performing the yogna and which deity they wanted to praise, they went to Bhrigu.

He visited the temples of Brahma, Shiva, and Vishnu to solicit their advice before devising a remedy. However, neither of the gods paid him any attention.

The sage had already kicked Vishnu in the chest in his wrath.

When Lord Vishnu held the sage's legs and gently squeezed on the extra eye in the sole of Bhigru's foot which was considered to reflect the sage's egotism, the sage acknowledged his error.

The wise man begged mercy. He returned to the other wise men to inform them that Lord Vishnu was worthy of their adoration. However, Goddess Lakshmi was insulted by the behavior of Rishi Bhrigu and left.

Lord Vishnu was devastated when Lakshmi left. When he didn't see his wife, he began fasting and meditating.

Concerned about the situation, the Gods Brahma and Shiva disguised themselves as cow and calf.

Surya, the Hindu sun deity, begged the goddess Lakshmi to take the appearance of a cowherd so that he may acquire her services from the Chola ruler.

In the Venkata mountains, the King's new herd of cows can be seen grazing. Lord Brahma, disguised as a cow, began feeding Vishnu on the anthill.

The Queen was irritated because she wasn't getting any milk from the cow and she reprimanded the cow herder. He was perplexed to see the cow defecate across the anthill.

In a fit of rage, he grabbed an axe and attempted to butcher the cow.

Lord Vishnu, appearing from the anthill, took the strike in place of the cow, sparing its life.

Lord Vishnu, infuriated, pronounced a death curse on the shepherd. He used the axe that killed an innocent cow and calf that gave him water as he bled to death.

Because of the servant's transgression, Lord Vishnu cursed the king to take on the form of an Asura. The benevolent god begged the king to forgive him, then told him that in his next life, he would be reincarnated as Akash Raja and marry his daughter.

Lord Vishnu assumed the identity of Srinivasa in his subsequent incarnation and was born to a woman named Vakula Devi.

Lord Krishna supposedly granted Yashoda the wish to have him born to her in the Kali Yuga as a blessing. It is believed that Vakula Devi is Yashoda's reincarnation. Srinivasa's previous home was in the woods.

Padmavati, daughter of Akash Raja, was a stunning woman whom Lord Srinivasa eventually met.In keeping with the promise made by Lord Vishnu to the previous incarnation's Chola king, the two soon fell in love and wanted to get married.

Srinivasa borrowed money from Kubera for his wedding and promised to pay back the debt with interest until the end of the Kali Yuga.

Sage Narada informed Lakshmi of the wedding after it was over.

The Gods and Goddesses were furious and confronted Vishnu. Srinivasa's decision to become a stone was motivated by tensions between his two wives.

It is also said that Padmavati and Lakshmi, who stood on either side of Vakula Devi, turned into stone

Significant of Tirupati :-

Lord Balaji is accepted as the God of Justice.

It is believed that the two wives laying on his chest represent the scales of justice and the sword of justice, while the Namam on his brow signifies his blindfold. His black appearance is meant to represent Shani, also known as Saturn.

It is believed that the deity evaluates the good and bad actions of those who pray to him. He is well-known for his ability to both reward and punish.

Devotion, love, and faith in the Lord bring forth his mercy, which mitigates the damage done by one's previous conduct.
