Verily in front of your eyes is Vaikuntha. This Tirumala!

🌺 The SanKirtana is focused on 'Neerajanam' (part of shodasa-upachara pooja ritual) in praise of Sri Mahalakshmi Devi. 🙏 The Shodasa - Upachara Pooja (ritual worship consisting of 16 services) has a two-fold purpose: 1. To uplift the five senses of the worshiper for promoting good thoughts & actions. 2. It draws upon Indian traditions of honoring a guest. 'Neerajanam' means 'Arati' (waving of lights). 🙏

Annamayya condemns atheism. He comforts the tired and worn down 'believers' and reinforces their 'belief in God' - in this beautiful sankeertana! For the believers, Sree Venkteswara is verily Narayana Himself! శ్రీ వేంకటేశ్వరుడు - నమ్మిన వారికి నారాయణుడితడు - This is the essence of the Sankeertana!

♀️ Who is She? 🤔 Each zodiac sign has a unique trait that defines Her.

ఇన్నిట ఇంతట ఇరవొకటే వెన్నుని నామమే వేదంబాయె In all (~beings, animate), in all (~things, inanimate; worlds = lokas), there is only One (~Unity). The name of Vishnu, is synonymous with Vedas!

👣 These are 'the feet' that scaled (~measured up) the entire Earth. In this composition, Annamayya is advising us all - to make the best use of our time & life here by having darshan of 'these Holy Feet' at Tirumala! 👣 🙏
