History of this Temple
In 1974, with his Divine Grace Srila Prabhupada visited Tirupati-Tirumala as a special guest of the Government of Andhra Pradesh. During his stay at Tirumala, Srila Prabhupada was extremely pleased to have darshan of Lord Venkateswara. He was also happy to see lakhs of pilgrims having divine darshan everyday.
During his discussion with AP’s Endowments Minister Srila Prabhupada, TTD should immediately take steps to propagate and revive the message of Bhagavad Gita on a large scale. In 1982, TTD provided a piece of land at the foot of the Divine Tirumala Hills. Today Srila Prabhupada’s vision is being revealed. In order to effectively carry out the mission of disseminating the science of God consciousness, a master plan has been drawn up for the temple.
