Why Lord Balaji's eyes covered??



Lord Balaji is one of the most celebrated forms of Maha Vishnu during the age of Kali (the present times). Balaji or Venkateshwara is the central deity in the temple of Tirupati, Andhra Pradesh. Tirumala or Tirupati is the highest visited temples and pilgrimage spots on this earth as on today. Every day, lakhs of devotees pour in at this place to have a glimpse of the idol of Balaji installed in this shrine.

Lord Balaji is also known as archavatara or the installed form of the god himself. The history of Tirupati narrates how Lord Balaji descended on this earth to answer the prayers of Padmavati, who was then known as Vedavati. As she was meditating to win the hands of Lord Vishnu in marriage, Ravan, the demon King of Ramayana approached her fascinated by her captivating beauty. When he attempted to disturb her by catching the lock of her hair, she at once opened her eyes from meditation and snapped her plait cutting it out from the portion held by the demon.


She was greatly angered by the illegitimate action of the demon and cursed him stating that he would face his death if he touched any other women without her willingness.


Then she entered the fire and gave up her body which she felt was left unholy by the touch of the demon. She prayed that in her next birth she would be born to achieve her cherished goal of getting married to Lord Vishnu. In her next birth, she was born as Padmavati and got married to the Lord in a very pompous ceremony attended by the gods themselves.


According to sources Lord Balaji's idol wears a
white mark that is so huge to cover the eyes. Thus, the devotees can see only a small part of the Lord's eyes while the rest is covered. There is a significant reason why this is the procedure in the temple. We need to make a mention of
two awesome miracles that happen in this temple to this day. There is a stream of water flowing from the feet of the idol called as Viraja River whose origin is not known so far.


Meanwhile the several miraculous facts associated with the idol of Lord Balaji tell us how powerful the Lord is. Since the devotees cannot just
withstand the powerful radiation emanating from the eyes of the Lord, the eyes are covered on most days excepting on Thursdays when the size of the white mark
is relatively smaller enabling the devotees glimpse at the Lord's eyes to an extent.

To what a native human can make out of this ordeal is the back story of it all as the Demon King Ravana had touched Padmavati in her previous birth, Lord Vishnu's manifested form who was Padmavati's husband had taken the oath to come
down on Earth himself so then is it because of the rising atrocities of the human race on the weak or gender biased treatment is leading to anger.
