TIRUPATHI   BALAJI  DARSHAN

The Highest Records for Devotees Darshan still with Lord Balaji only.

No one can deny that Balaji Darshan will definitely give immediate relief, particularly monetary relief since money is the root cause of all problems.

My Experience in First visit to Balaji is in 1980s through Train & Bus to uphill in the early morning in 1980s. We have to wait for whole night for getting Bus to thirumala from aliperi - adivaram before the gate. I also wondered why so much crowd inspite of these hardships.After getting Darshan and after returning to Chennai the very next day I get Rs 400/- as an incentive ( which is very rare in office jobs) hot cash from my Employer. Rs 400 in 1980 is equivalent to minimum 50000 now. In my second visit also I got an unexpected bonanza immediately after visit.
The most unforgettable evnt in my life is Once we went by Paada yatra to uphill and we three were blessed by Balaji to serve as Sevarthees in Hundi checkings on that day. the whole day we were in the Temple precincts. After return I have to leave the job then working, and join in a new place where I have been still working for more than 3o years with full satisfaction and rewards.
I am still thrilled of Balaji's Blessings. Thirupathi Lord is instant & you need not wait for his reaction to your darshan with difficulty.

From then onwards We have been visiting Him often whenever possible. He has been giving whatever we deserve and we never felt for our Hardships faced in Darshan. But For the sake of convenience The Following Details are given.

Tips For Convenient Darshan.

1. If you are from any part in Tamilnadu and you need only Darshan and return immediately , please contact AndraPradesh Tourism development Corporation Buses offering Package Tours to Tirupathi and having agents all over Tamilnadu. Their Package Tours will safely take you to Thirumala ,their guide will provide assistance in getting laddus etc and assured of safe return. They offer the tour by Push Back Buses/ Ac & Volvo also. darshan also due to their arrangements with TTDevasthanam  will be within two hours.

For tonsuring heads, arranging "kaathu kuthal" "thulaapaaram" also The guides will arrange smoothly.  Devotees are requested to see only APTDC  packages since due to Political & other reasons the packages offered by other states & devotees coming through other operators have not been giving  preference as to APTDC.

Similarly if the Devotees Family want to visit Thirumala exceeds 4 -They can arrange Cabs, They can book online for any Seva Darshan/ as well as accomodation well in  advance and have a nice / crowd free Darshan by booking 50Rs Tickets with pretimings as per rules & with two days stay in the Thirumala itself. Food etc is available at APTDC restaurants irself and there is a Woodlands & other restarantsalso in the uphill.

If they need more number of days stay & darshan - Devotees can stay in Thirupathi Town where lot of accomodations at affordable costs with all facilities are vailable. There are also good Hotels offering quality food , known to all like - Bheemas,Annapoorna etc.,

If stay is in Thirupathi - they can see the lot ofTemples around thirupathi ( under the same management TTDC of TTDevasthanam) in the Cab. All the nearby temples are connected to Lord Balaji Life and the whole Place & Hill are blessed by Lotus Feet of Lord Balaji. It is a story that Annamaacharaya and SRi ramaanujar (only because of presence of Balaji Feet in the Hills) went up the Hills by Head Down with Hands as Feet.

    

     There are also lot of routine bus services/train services to Thirupathi from all parts of Tamilnadu.Devotees can  conveniently come by any one after booking, stay in tirupathi town and have darshan as they wish and  return to their palces safely.

2. If you are From chennai or suburbs

     Just like above you can chose APTDC,ITDC  Buses offering daily packages to Tirupathi and have  convenient darshan . You can return the same day. All the operators affer break fast and one time food  included in the cost. the food will be of standard quality.

     Journey canbe by Train/Bus through advance booking, stay in lower tirupathi and darshan of balaji and all nearby temples.

     All the Devotees are requested to note the following Please:

          There are lot of Package Tour Operators to tirupathi from Chennai. Except one or two No operator is genuine in services .

          Most of the Online packages are through agents and your online payment goes to the Principal only ,who is not aware of the vehicle condition,driver or guide. In most of these privte operators there will not be guides , drivers acting as guides. If vans they will come only upto adivaram where they will arrange for Uphill bus and go. the private operators liability ends at dropping you at the que complex  for Seegra Darshan Most of the vehicles are not good and the drivers/staff will not be  responsive.These online operators utilise the ignorance of North Indian devotees and cash on them. 

         Devotees are requested not to go for Online Booking through various unauthorised operators in this  field. They are advised to use only Packages offered Government Sector Agencies or TTD itself.

REQUEST TO DeVOTEES

    1. Devotees are requested to Enter for Balaji Darshan ONLY  after  visiting Adi varahar Temple situated near the Temple Tank. This is an important riytual prevailing there. Varaha Perumal is there long before Lord balaji existence. even though God may not mistake or treat it as partiality, it is our duty to see the eldest in the family first before darshan of balaji.

   2.  Please dont have casual talks which lead to uttering non religious words - while standing in the Q. Better to murmur any slokams or govinda govinda while the Q moving.

   3.  Please dont get Paicky while entering the sanctum of the temple since there will be crampedness from  all sides in the Q at that time . Move smoothly , have darshan smoothly return safely.

   4.  Offerings now can be put in any of the Hundis placed inside the Temple. It need not be only in one  Hundi where there is Q. Even the outside Hundi is below Mahalakshmi in Gold and all Hundial offerings will be known to God.

   

   5.   Dont forget to Darshan Narasimhar,varahar,garudan present in the inside Praharams.Similarly round the  Outer Praharam fully before leaving the Temple Premises.
