SRI SUDARSHANA CHAKRA TALWAR In Tirumala we witness Sri Sudarshana Bhagwan’s presence in the right hand of the Lord in the varied forms of light and processional deity. The important role played by Sudarshana Bhagavan, in punishing the evil ones and protecting the devotees by the Lord, is commendable. He takes the responsibility of protecting the devotees coming to Tirumala as well as their safe passage. During the ten day ‘Brahmatsavams’, Malayappa Swamy is taken in a procession every day in the morning and evening in the streets of Tirumala. Just before Malayappa Swami embarks on his procession, Chakra talwar moving out in his palanquin carries out the security check up of the processional passage. He then goes inside and reports to the Lord. After receiving this report, Lord Malayappa Swamy begins his procession. SEETARAMALAKSHMANULU It is said that while Sree Rama was in exile Threthayuga, he and Lakshmana came to Tirumala in search of Seeta. As a mark of their visit, their Murthys are kept in the temple. As they were in exile, their statues reflect their simplicity and are devoid of any ornaments. History accounts for these Murthys being gifted by a bramhin. RUKMINI KRISHNULU Mythology endorses that Lord Venkateswara is none other than Lord Sri Krishna of Dwaparayuga in the pre dawn Suprabhataseva of Lord Venkateswara, a mention of Srikrishna’s name is made in the phrase ‘Uthishtothishta Govinda’. In the month of (Dhanurmasa) January while Ekantaseva is performed Lord Krishna is made to sleep on the silk mattresses in place of Bhoga Srinivasa Murthy. During this month, Suprabhatham is not recited. Songs(Thiruppavai) related to Sri Krishna alone are sung for waking up the Lord.
