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.
