101) Vaikuntaachala vaasine SrI VenkatEsaaya nama:
Salutations to Lord VenkatEsa, who
is the resident of the Vaikuntta Hill !
Tirumala Hills are known also as
"Vaikunttachalam". After Bhoodevi was brought up from the depths of
the ocean by the Varaaha Murthy, He made up His mind to reside on earth till
the end of this Kalpam and to this end, instructed Garuda to bring the "Kreedaa
Parvatam" from Sri Vaikunttam and establish the same on the banks of the
Swami Pushkarini. Due to these origins, the Tirumala is known as "Vaikunttachalam".
The Lord is known as "Vaikunttan",
the unstoppable and invincible. Since these hills form His abode, they are
known as Vaikunttachalam.
The name " Vaikunta: " is the 406the
Naama of SrI VishNu Sahasra naamam :
Vaikunta: Purusha: PrANa: prANadha: praNama pruTu:
The name , "Vaikuntan " here signifies
the merciful attribute of His as the remover of
obstacles (of union ) with Him .
It is said that those who reach
Sri Vaikunttam are no more plagued by physical, mental or emotional
shortcomings--"yatra na shoka: na moha:". This is true of Tirumala
Hills, the Vaikunttachalam too, for all those who reach Tirumala and worship
the Lord devoutly, are relieved of all their suffering, pain and sorrow, which
are replaced by eternal bliss from Bhagavat anubhavam.
