Travel Info Why LORD Balaji at Tirupati , keep HIS eyes closed? Travel Tips There may be several reason 1. He is feeling sleepy 2. He is afraid of the viewers 3. He does not want to see present day Indians 4. The Artist slept off at the time of making the eyes God only knows - he never told me the actual reason. Others to say you find god inside your self To avoid seeing the ugliness of the world. Or, he doesn't have enough sleep. We'll have to ask the sculptor of the statue . that's news to me, I never knew that his eyes were closed in that statue. Sorry no idea why it's like that. I will do some research soon. His two upper arms hold a conch-shell (sankha) and disk (cakra). The palm of his lower right hand is turned outward offering benediction (varada), while his lower left hand is turned inward (katyavalambita). The Lord's eyes are covered by a large tilak like "V" made of camphor. For it is said that Lord Venkateswara's lotus-like eyes are so beautiful that if they were uncovered, then pilgrims would not want to leave. It is also said that his eyes are covered because His gaze would scorch the entire world. http://bvml.org/photoessays/tirupati/ind... |
