Dear Devotees of Lord Venkatesa :

There is a question from a devotee from
Canada about the significance of lighting
Maa ViLakku for Lord VenkatEsa during
PurattAsi Saturdays  and partaking
that Prasaadham.

This tradition observed by Aasthika ladies 
has deep roots in Param JyOthi Tatthvam  
of SrIman NaarAyaNa celebrated in the Upanishads 
and Draavida Vedam of AzhwArs . Some of the citations
are: " Param Jyothi :  or Supreme Light as per
ChAndhOgya; JyOthishAm JyOthi: as per Mundakam 
( the Light of Lights) . To salute Him , the shining 
One by whom  every thing shines as a result ( Tameva
bhAntham anubhAthi sarvam tasya bhAsaa sravam
idham vibhAthi -- Mundakam : II.2.10) .

Lord SrinivAsan is saluted as Malayappa Swamy 
or the Lord and Supreme Light on top of Saptha giri .
When a small mount of Maavu with ghee and Vellam 
is made and  a wick is placed on top and lit , we are
paying homage to this Param JyOthi as the Jagath 
JyOthi protecting us .

The articles on SravaNa dheepam cited below 
will shed additional light on the significance of
the JyOthi Tatthvam of the Lord (Brahman) celebrated 
in the Upanishads .

Namo SrI VenkatEsAya ,
V.Sadagopan 

P.S: Please perform 108 AshtOtthara NaamArchanai
for Lord VenkatEsa on this special occasion .

with meanings is at :
