Visaka Saradha Peetathipathi Swaraapanada Swami had a Darshan of Lord Venkateswara at the Tirupathi temple yesterday (Thursday, 19th December).
During this period, the Swami advised that as all the poojas and prayer events being performed according to the ‘Vaikasai Agama’ tradition, it would not be advisable to introduce a sudden change with the opening of the ‘Vaikunta Vaasal’ for 10 days on the occasion of the sacred ‘Vaikunta Ekadasi’.
Accordingly, the Tirupathi Thirumalai Devasthanam (TTD) has decided to allow all the devotees through the ‘Vaikunta Vaasal’ gate only on the 2 days of Vaikunta Ekadasi and Vaikunta Dwadasi occurring on 6th and 7th January 2020.
