MARRIAGE OF BALAJI AND PADMAVATI.

Friends, most of us are the bhakts of Vishnu and have worshipped all tha avtaars that he has taken. It is a interesting story about in the backdrop of Ramayana period.

So let's start....

Once the daughter of Akaashraj,whose name was Padmini or Padmavati, ventured out in the forest to collect flowers for puja. She was picking out on flowers when she noticed a divine white colour horse nearby.

On it sat a very good looking, well built dark in colour person with a mesmerizing personality. He was adorned with beautiful ornaments made of gold and studded with precious stones. With his big and beautiful eyes,he seemed to be searching for something.

He too was curious about that lady. He went near them and inquirrd about their whereabouts. On getting his answer about Padmavati, now the ladies wanted to know his identity. He said he was Veerpati from VENKATACHAL. Actually he was Shrihari himself.

Padmini and her friends also kept on thinking about the divine personality they had just met. Shrihari left for his abode with the firm resolve of marrying Padmini.

At lunch time,when the sevika came to offer the afternoon bhog to Shrihari.

At that time he informed the sevika vedmalika of his intention to marry Padmini and the reason behind it.

It was the Vanvaas period for Ram and Sita. In this period Ravana went to kidnap Sita with help of Mariachi.

Agnidev, who was present in the fire lit for havan,realized the danger and Carried Sita to Pataal loks and handed her to his wife Swaaha. He then made Vedvati look exactly like Sita and replaced her in the hut. So actually Sita was not Kidnapped but it was Vedvati.

In her previous birth,the same demon had touched her so in this birth she wanted to be instrumental for his death.The real Sita was returned back to Ram during Agni Pariksha. It was Sita who blessed Vedvati and asked her husband to accept Vedvati.

But Ram said that this marriage would take place in Vedvati's next birth.

In this birth Vedvati was born as the daughter of Akashraj and Prithvi mata. So now the time had come for this marriage to be solemnized. Vedmalika was sent to Prithvi mata with Shrihari's request.

The bride's side were all overjoyed. Akashraj invited Brahaspati to find an auspicious date for this marriage. It was decided that the marriage would take place in the Vaishakha month in Uttara Falguni nakshatra. All the Saptrishis and devtas were invited for this occasion.

On the set date the divine marriage took place in the presence of all devtas.The marriage rituals were conducted by Brahma. The four day function was held in all its charm and glory. Shrihari and Padmavati left for their abode at Venkatachal or what we call as Tirupati.
