VAIKUNTA EKADASI


Om Namo Srinivasaya!

Om Namo Venkatesaya!!

January 13th, 2022 marks the auspicious occasion of Mukkoti Vaikunta Ekadashi, which will be observed at AMMA’s Sri Srinivasa Saligrama temple which enshrInes more than 25,000 sacred Saligrama stones, which are the conscious, living embodiment of Lord Maha Vishnu himself. Vaikunta Ekadashi referred to as Moksha Ekadashi. It is named Vaikunta, because the doors to Lord Vishnu's heavenly abode, Vaikunta, remain open on this day.


For all of us struggling in the world, and even those drowning in an ocean of life’s problems, to merely have a single glimpse of Srinivasa’s enchanting smile on this day is enough to erase mountains of negative karma and eradicate hardships from our life.

SPECIAL SEVAS



A Vedic wedding is conducted for Sri Srinivasa and His consorts, Sri Devi and Bhu Devi. In this ceremony, a curtain is tied between the deities, new garments are offered, and with recitation of their lineages a maha sankalpam is performed. The pradhana homam and laja homam are then performed and a saffron tilak is ceremoniously administered. The ceremony concludes with great pomp through the exchange of Flower garlands, showering of talambralu, and the offering of a Maha Naivedya.



On this auspicious day after Abhishekam, Sri Srinivasa is exclusively adorned with fragrant flower garlands, from his crown to his feet. Prior to being offered to the Lord, these sacred garlands are carried in circumambulation around the main shrine by pilgrims who sponsored the seva. This breathtaking ritual is also known as Poolangi seva and bestows devotees with serenity, tranquility, spiritual stability, and physical wellbeing. 



 



Following Abhishekam, Sri Srinivasa is adorned with a beautiful Melchat Vastra. This hand-woven regal garment is over 12 yards in length and is woven in accordance with scriptural guidelines.  The offering of garments is one of the shodasa updacharas.



 
 
 
 

In Vedas it is mentioned Annadanam is supreme and incomparable to any charity. Food is the basic need for all humans. Thus according to the Vedas, the one who does Annadanam to devotees attains heaven (Punya Loka) in this life itself. Feeding the devotees of Lord Srinivas on this sacred day brings us all kinds of lasting merits that can never be exhausted.

Jai Karunamayi!
