SURRENDER TO SHRI MAHA VISHNU-SEEK HIS PARDON

Shri Maha Vishnu is the kindest, when He comes to the rescue of His devotees. We are all humans, and we do commit mistakes, blunders and sins unknowingly or knowingly based on the compulsions and weaknesses of the moment, or with deliberate intent. Still Shri Maha Vishnu is so benevolent that He accepts the devotees’ penance, relieves them of their misdeeds and blesses with peace and abundance. Not just in the backdrop of the recent happenings at Tirumala Shri Venkateshwara Mandir, but in case of - and we all do – improprieties committed by us, we can and should always offer our unconditional apologies to Shri Maha Vishnu, who will bless us with His deliverance. Shri Venkateshwara is the incarnation of Shri Maha Vishnu in this Kal Yug, hence referred to as ‘Kalai Venkata Nayaka:’

Please recite, at least once a day, the following shloka, the last one in Shri Venkateshwara Stotram, to rid you of your sins and attain peace and piety.

अज्ञानिना मया दोषा

नशेषान्विहितान् हरे।

क्षमस्व त्वं क्षमस्व त्वं

शेषशैल शिखामणे

Agnaninam maya doshan

Aseshan vihithan hare

Kshamasva thwam, kshamasva thwam

Sesha shail shikha mane ||

I beg, please pardon me, please pardon me, you, the crown jewel of the Sesha mountain. I committed sins out of ignorance, please pardon me.

AND LO, HE WILL PARDON YOU.
