Why Varahswami Temple,who was the mentor of Shri Balaji, at Tirumalis deserted ?
Answer – Varahswami is the teacher (Guru) of Tirupathi Balaji.It is believed that without visiting the temple of Varahswami the visit to Balaji Temple is not fruitful. There is a large water tank and to the North-East of tank, the Varahswami Temple is situated. This means that in the South -West of Varahswami Temple, water is situated. In addition to the South, the South -East and the South -West parts of this temple are at a lower level whereas the market on the North side is at a higher level. All these things are against the principles of Vaastu Shastra. That is why inspite of the announcement and literature emphasizing that it is meaningless to visit the Balaji Temple without visiting the Varashwami Temple, hardly 10% of the devotees visit the later.
