Why do you suffer from so many problems? Lord Venkateswara is your protector if you surrender to him.

Our "Karmas" are the cause of our birth. Dharma is the base for conscience. Hari alone is aware of both aspects. He is the Truth. He is the care-taker.
C 2 bahu bhOga samayamu prapanchamu

The world is full of many pleasures and pains. Discrimination and knowledge are needed for emancipation. Eswara is the real doer in this life and afterwards.
C 3 ati dukhakaramu lAsalu

Desires are the root cause of sorrow. Detachment makes you happy. Lord Venkateswara with Alamelumanga is our ultimate refuge. He is our protector.
