Sri Venkateswara is the Virat Swarup of the Hindu Sanatana Dharma and He travelled all the way from Seshachala Ranges to reach Jammu to bless the people of this place bestowed with peace and prosperity”, said Lt Governor of Jammu and Kashmir Sri Manoj Sinha.
In his address after the opening of Sri Venkateswara Swamy temple in the Majin village in Jammu after Maha Samprokshanam, he said, Lord Venkateswara is fondly called by devotees in different names as Balaji, Govinda, Srinivasa and many more.
Quoting several shlokas from Bhagavat Gita and references from religious texts, he said, Lord Venkateswara is the Universal Supremo who is the creator, protector and ruler of the world. He took the incarnation for the welfare of mankind.
Adding further he said, “With the emergence of Sri Venkateswara Swamy temple in Jammu, the people of the state will now have the blessings of Lord Balaji along with Mata Vaishno Devi, Amarnath and Sarada Devi temples.
Under the able leadership of our visionary Prime Minister Sri Narendra Modiji, a lot of spiritual and welfare activities have been taking place in Jammu and Kashmir.
With the series of recent religious events that took place in the recent past in Jammu, I am confident that this place is soon to become the hub of the Religious Tourism Circuit.
I am also happy to state that very soon a Veda Pathashala will also be coming up in this place. I congratulate all of you on this historical occasion”, he maintained.
Later in his speech, TTD Chairman Sri YV Subba Reddy said, TTD has taken up the construction of a series of Sri Venkateswara temples from Kashmir to Kanyakumari in a big way with a noble aim to take forward Hindu Sanatana Dharma across the country.
He said besides important places, TTD has also been constructing temples in SC, ST, BC and fishermen colonies and very recently Sri Venkateswara temples were opened in Tribal and backward areas of Seetampeta and Rampachodavaram respectively.
