Sri Malayappa Swamy blessed devotees during the Surya Prabha Vahanam Seva in Tirumala on Sunday. As the procession reached Pushkarini Point, sunlight pierced the dark clouds, inspiring devotees to chant Govinda amid the divine morning spectacle.
Hyderabad: Sri Malayappa Swamy, adorned with a bright red Ixora garland in his original form, blessed devotees while riding the divine Surya Prabha Vahanam on Sunday.
The Surya Prabha Vahanam symbolises Lord Surya, revered as the giver of energy, vitality and well-being to all living beings.
According to scriptures, the Sun is the source of light in nature and the force that illuminates even the Moon.
Devotees firmly believe that having darshan of Sri Malayappa Swamy on the Surya Prabha Vahanam bestows good health, longevity, happiness, prosperity and noble progeny.
The celestial procession commenced under cloudy skies with light drizzle as it moved along the four Mada streets. Amid the rhythmic chanting of Surya Mantras from the Taittiriya Upanishad, the Sun’s rays pierced the dark clouds just as the Vahanam reached Pushkarini Point.
The divine sight filled devotees with religious fervour, prompting them to chant “Govinda! Govinda!” with great enthusiasm.
Sri Pedda Jeeyar Swami, Sri Chinna Jeeyar Swami, TTD Executive Officer Sri Muddada Ravichandra, Additional Executive Officer Sri Ch. Venkaiah Chowdary, Board Members Sri Nannapaneni Sadashiva Rao and Smt. Janaki Devi, CVSO Sri Muralikrishna, SVBC CEO Sri Sridhar Verma and other officials participated in the morning Vahana Seva.
