The Glory of Lord Srinivasa (Venkateswara)
Sri Venkatesha Vaibhavam The Deity of the Age: The testimony that Lord Venkateswara is the manifest protector of our current era. कृते तु नारसिंहोऽभूत् त्रेतायां रघुनन्दनः । द्वापरे वासुदेवश्च कलौ वेङ्कटनायकः ॥ kṛte tu nārasiṃho'bhūt tretāyāṃ raghunandanaḥ | dvāpare vāsudevaśca kalau veṅkaṭanāyakaḥ || In the cycle of time, specific forms of the Divine are "Prathyaksha Dhaivams" (perceivable Deities). Lord Narasimha ruled the Krita Yuga, Lord Sri Rama the Treta Yuga, and Lord Sri Krishna the Dvapara Yuga. In our current Kali Yuga, Lord Sri Venkateswara is the presiding, visible protector. The Supreme Abode: The declaration of the uniqueness of Tirumala in the entire cosmos. वेङ्कटाद्रिसमं स्थानं ब्रह्माण्डे नास्ति किञ्चन । वेङ्कटेशसमो देवो न भूतो न भविष्यति ॥ veṅkaṭādrisamaṃ sthānaṃ brahmāṇḍe nāsti kiñcana | veṅkaṭeśasamo devo na bhūto na bhaviṣyati || There is no place in the entire universe equal to Venkatadri, and no deity equal to Lord Venkateswara neither...
