People believe in gradation of power of Lord, as they are not exposed to the fundamentals of Vaishnavism. Even near the metro Chennai, a few divyadesams like Thiruneermalai and Thiruninravur are not well-attended while Triplicane, Thiruvallur and Sholingar are thronged by thousands of devotees. This is because people believe so and so Perumal is "more powerful". Perumal and His powers are not limited by space and time, as explained by Parasara Bhattar for the words "anAdi nidhanam" and "vishNum". Even His incarnation as narasimha (whom many worship to get rid of ailments) proves that He is omnipresent. The concept of 108 divya dESams is also of later origin and was not mooted by pUrvAchAryas. It is the purpose and intent of Azhwars to praise the Lord wherever He is, not just the places mentioned in the divya prabandham. adiyen Vishnu --- In ramanuja@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx, pritesh patel <tesh_tel@...> wrote: > > Srimathe Ramanujaya Namaha > > Jai Sri krishna > > What is the opinion of the repsected bhakthas in this forum on this hike in price of ticket???? I personaly do not agree with it. I recenlty attended a Kumbhabhishekam were sponsers who donated large ammounts of cash become yajmans and got best seats and 1st access to all the pujas, whilst others had to que for long hours. I found that this system often upset many non-paying devotees, who were were told at rituals that yajmans only or yajmans 1st. I felt that with this paying system created an elitist atmosphere which was opposite to feelings of satsang, equality and brotherhood. > > amudala satyanarayana <scribesatya@...> wrote: > Tirumala Abhishekam ticket price hiked > > Tirupati, Oct.12, 2006 (TIRUPATITIMES.COM) > The Tirumala Tirupati Devasthanams (TTD) which manages the famous hill shrine of Lord Venkateswara at Tirumala near here today has decided to hike the price of Friday's rituals -Abhishekam seva ticket from Rs 750 to Rs.2,500 and Vastralankara seva ticket from Rs 12,250 to Rs.50,000. > > The TTD Board in its monthly meeting on the hills on Thursday has also decided to extend invitation to the President of India, Mr. A..P.J.Abdul Kalam to release the 12 volumes of Sri Bhagavatham to be published by TTD in December next, temple sources said. > > > > > Send instant messages to your online friends http://uk.messenger.yahoo.com > Azhvar EmberumAnAr JeeyAr ThiruvadigalE Saranam http://www.vedics.net Yahoo!
