Hare Krishna! All glories to Srila Prabhupada and all

Vaisnavas. Please accept my humble obeisances

 

and blessings. I pray that this finds you well and in

the service of Sri Guru and Sri Gauranga.

 

The Temple of Tirumala-Triupati is the home of Lord

Venkatesha. It is the custom that the most

 

commone way of showing your devotion and gratitude to

Lord Sri Venkatesha is offering your hair to

 

Him.

 

Individuals offer their hair to the Diety for many

different reasons, such as, fulfilling a vow,

expressing

 

their gratitude for His blessings, etc. The hair is

cut by Temple Barbers and is sold. 50% of the procets

 

 

go to the Temple, and the other 50% is kept by the

Barber. The hair is sold to wig makers around the

 

world.

 

Wether or not you consider the worship of Sri

Venkatesha "idolitry" depends on your religious views.

 

Your eternal servant;

Nitaipada Maharaja

Taking a staw between my teeth and falling at your feet a hundred times, I

humbly submit, "O great personality, please give up all mundane knowledge that

you have learned and just submit yourself at the lotus feet of Lord Caitanya

Mahaprabhu. (Prabodhananda Sarasvati from Caitanya Candramrita)
