BRAMHANIDA PURANA
“Bramhand purana” says that Somaksura a demon of Yore stole the four Vedas from Lord Bramha and hid himself in the Ocean. Lord Bramha then approached his father Lord Srimannarayana murthy and Prayed for the restoration of Vedas. Lord Srimannarayana Murthy in ‘Matsyavathara’ (Fish) entered the Ocean, killed the demon Somakasura and brought back the Vedas in tact. The Vedas, in human from thanked the lord for his kind gesture in saving them, Prayed to stay with them on their heads. There upon the Lord munificently granted their Prayer but said that the would do that only after killing another demon Hiranya Kasapa and saving his son prahalda.

Read moreTemple is good. The administrative people in the temple are too harsh with devotees. I went to book a room inside temple premises. They asked me to come by 4PM when I enquired over phone. I went there at the Same time. Then they again asked me to come by 7 PM same day. I reached there by 7. The people again asked me to come by 10 AM next day. And finally they said that rooms are full.

They just behave like as if they are giving rooms at free of cost.
We used to go to temple very frequently. This kind of behavior is observed in recent days only. They also won't give receipt for the rent amount if the room. I just hate the administration of the temple. I request endowment department to look into this.
I wanted to give negative stars to this administration,...
