Sri Srinivasa Lord of Seven Hills

NIVEDANA

Thirumala is the most sacred place in this universe. Lord Srinivasa, the supreme lord of Seven Hills is the most famous & most powerful deity of theworld. Everyday, thousands of devotees visit Thirumala

to have Lord’s darsan. They come from across the country and abroad too.

By the grace of Lord Srinivasa, I wrote threebooks so far, all of which are in Telugu, my, mother tongue. I wrote the first one ‘Sri Srinivasa Mahatmyam’in 2002 following a divine order. In 2005, I wrote ‘Sri

Venkateswara Vratha Kalpam’- a vratha kadha book of Lord Sri Venkateswara. It is very simple and any one can perform it easily. We have translated this into Hindi too. In 2007 I wrote ‘Sri Venkateswara Darsanam ’ which explains the glory of Sri Venkateswara through 24 kesava namams. All these three

books have become very popular with the devotees. It is only with my poorva janma punyam that I could

write these three books. I was only holding the pen and it is He who wrote them. But for His enormous grace,I would not scribbled even word about Him.

I did my M.Tech. in Electrical Engineering from Regional Engineering college, Warangal in 1983. Iworked in industry and teaching till 1998. I have also drawn cartoons for Indian Express between 1984-90. Istarted designing logos for business organization in 1993 by applying vedic principles under the name “SHRI DESIGNS”. It is absolutely by the grace of LORD SRI VENKATESWARA that all the companies for

which I have designed logos are doing very well today. I have so far selected Company names, Brand names,and designed Logos based on birth particulars of promoters for more than 2,500 organisations worldwide.

Thirumala is the most sacred place in this universe. Every stone on Tirumala has got a story to tell. In fact ,each stone is nothing but saligrama sila, image of Lord Vishnu. One requires several thousand janmas’ punya, even to step on this sacred hill and several crores janmas’ punya to have lord’s darsan. Every second, a miracle occurs on Thirumala hills. Many devotees experience great miracles of Lord Srinivasa while on the hill. For those who have great faith in Him, they can experience His miracles and feel His presence in their day to day life too, wherever they are in this world.

Many books have already been published on Lord Srinivasa. But each one’s experiences with Him are

unique to themselves. I have been thinking of writing a book in English for the last couple of years. I am able

to write it finally now with His benovelence. This book, Sri Srinivasa - Lord of Seven Hills is written in simple free flowing English. I just wrote the way the flow has appeared in my mind. You may find several grammatical mistakes. I request you to kindly excuse me as I gave more importance to bhava (expression) rather than grammatical language.

I have experienced several miracles while writing these books. It is my strong belief and experience too that if we have strong  sankalp , He will take care of everything and make our work easier. In fact, HE Himself will be behind us every moment. Lord Srinivasa, is the kindest of all. The easiest way to get His blessings is by abject surrender at His lotus feet.

Whatever I could write is only far less than even Trillionth of his glory. When even the thousand tongued Adisesha, cannot describe His glory fully, need we say anything more about ordinary mortals like me? I pray

Lord Srinivasa to pardon me if I have committed any mistakes while writing this book.

I express my sincere thanks to authors of several books which were of great help while writing this book.I have taken the writing of this book as an yagna and several people helped me in this yagna. I am very thankful to my wife Smt. Venkata Rukmini Vydehi, daughters Anandi and Amuktha and son Aditya Srinivas.I am greatly indebted to Sri Ramana Murthy, Sri A.K.Goyal, Sri Y.B.S.Murthy, Sri Madhu, Sri Ravi Namburu and many others without whose noble support I would not have completed it. I also thank Jagadeesh of Sri Vasavi Graphics for his excellent designing work.

There are great scholars and devotees among you. I request you to kindly inform me through e-mail or letter any suggestions you want to give. You are most welcome to write to me your opinions so that they can be incorporated in the next editions.

What can I offer in return to my Lord for showering such enormous blessings on me? What can I offer to the Parama Purusha to whom everything in this creation owes it’s origin. I promise my Lord that spreading Sri Venkata Tatwam is the only goal of my life and pray Him to bless me with strength and confidence to carry it out forever Om  Namo Venkatesaya…Om Namo Srinivasaya…Om Namo Narayanaya …

I pray Lord Sri Venkateswara and SrideviBhoodevi to shower their blessings on all of you.

I will be very glad to receive your feedback.
