of piligrims for Angapradakshanam (rolling down on the floor)
inside Srivari temple to avoid inconvenience to hundreds of
other pilgrims during the wee-hour darshan. now it is decided
to allow only 750 piligrims (equal number of male and female).

angapradaskhanam should report at Vijaya Bank by 8 pm,register
their names and obtain token for entry into the temple. It
is free of cost. Ho0w busy is the Lord: Tituals from part
of the Hindu philosophy. They have an inner significance.
All are intended at appeasing the presiding deity. It is not
out of place to mention here about the nine types of devotion
that a devotee should possess as described in puranas--Sravanam
(listing to the glories of the Lord);Smaranam Keerthanam (singing
the praises of the Lord); Smaranam (remembering the Lord's
name);Archanam (offering worship);Vandanam (prostration);Seva
(service); Sakhyam (friendship);Padasevawnam (worshipping
the feet of the Lord) and Atmanivedanam (complete surrender).
Of the nine forms of devotion, Archanam,Vandanam, Seva and
Padasevanam have occupied a pride of place. The reason is
not beyond one's comprehension. They can be physically performed
and enjoyed. Thus, a number of forms of worship are performed
to the Lord in a day begining from the Suprabhata Seva (waking
up the Lord by chanting Suprabhatam at around 2.30 a.m.).
The rituals end with the Ekanta Seva ,also called Pavvalimpu
seva, at around 1.15 a.m.(going to bed). Each seva has its
own significance and priority. Thus, the ever-busy Lord hardly
has an hour to take rest. SUPRABHATHAM:The seva will be performed
at around 2.30 in the morning. The temple priests chant the
Suprabhatam..Kausalya supraja rama...It is intended at waking
up the Lord. It is performed at the Bangaru vakili (golden
entrance). The golden gates will be opened only after the
Suprabhatam. The darshan the devotees have during the Suprabatham
is also called Viswaroopa darshan. from standing in the long
