Jahnava Nitai Das 2 Report post Posted June 19, 2000 I have just put up a real audio lecture on the history of Sri Venkateshwara from the Puranas. If anyone is interested in this, go to the audio page. This is part one of two. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
R_Srisan 0 Report post Posted June 20, 2000 Jaya Sri Hari !!! Better to start defining Srinivasa's service with the History of the Vaikhanasa Agama, than the Padmavathi or Scanda Puranas. Also it may be best to note that it is TIRUMALA or the Sapthagiri Hills, not "Tirupati". Tirupati is a relatively recently "founded" town on a "long and diverted path" which was founded by Sri Ramanuja; and was not the primary "access town downhills. They refer to the place now as Tirumala-Tirupati. But the Temple is situated at TIRUMALA, uphills. I wish all your viewers a delightful ascent to the Lotus Feet, and I hope you view this as helpful. AUM TAT SAT R. SRISAN Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jahnava Nitai Das 2 Report post Posted June 20, 2000 The details of the original name of the location are mentioned in the lecture, but I have used the word Tirupati here because it is the modern name of the location on most maps of India and people will understand it better.
