On the sixth day of Srivari Brahmotsavam , the
presiding deity Lotd Venkateswara gives
darshan to his devout followers
on the Hanuman Vahanam .
Hanuman is
considered one of the top devotees of
Lord Vishnu in one of his avatars as
Lord Rama . He is also hailed
as a exponent of all four vedas,
Nava vyakarana pundit and destroyer of
Lanka.
Hanuman is considered
as an embodiment of Wisdom,
Muscle power, success , Braveness, health, over active, fearless and common sense. One of the hillocks
on the Tirumala hill range is
also named as Anjanadr. He is also known as
Vayu Putra of Anjana born out of power of
‘tapas’, Hanuman.
As done ardent devotee who carried Sri Rama on his
shoulders, Hanumans association
with Lord Venkateswara, an incarnation
of Lord Rama is nothing unusual. It is
said that Lord Sri Rrama had
taught the secrets of Atma
Tatva to his most
loyal disciple, Hanuman. The
Sita Ramanjaneya Samvadam is the basic theme of a Telugu poetry of yester years.

Lord Rama and Hanuman is said to inspire
the pundits for an extensive
exploration of Vedic scriptures and
promote righteous life style “ says
