🕉 The Divine Story Behind Balaji (Lord Venkateswara)
Lord Balaji, also known as Venkateswara, Govinda, or Srinivasa, is a powerful and beloved form of Lord Vishnu, enshrined at the Tirumala temple in Andhra Pradesh — one of the richest and most visited pilgrimage sites in the world.
The Legend Behind the Divine Appearance 🕉
According to sacred texts, during the Kali Yuga, when the world was engulfed in suffering, darkness, and spiritual decline, Lord Vishnu chose to descend on Earth to guide and protect his devotees. He took the form of Venkateswara and appeared on the sacred Tirumala hills.
It is said that Lord Vishnu incarnated as Balaji to answer the prayers of his devotee Bhrigu Rishi, and later, to marry Padmavati Devi, the daughter of King Akasha Raja. Their divine union is commemorated with great devotion by millions of followers.
