3.Visit Lord Sri Venkateswara in Thirumala atleast once in your life time. Make sure that you first take bath in swamy vAri pushkarini and visit Lord VarAha mUrthy swAmy before visiting the Lord Srinivasa. You are able to visit the Lord or you got a desire to visit the Lord because of your punyam. entho punyam vunte kAni, swAmini darshinchukOlEmu.
4.Lord likes thithhi-EkAdasi, Nakshatram(star)-Sravanam and mAsam(month)-mArgasiram, place on Earth - thirumala/vEnkatAdri/vEnkatAchalam/nArAyanAdri/vrushabhAdri/garudAdri/sEshAdri/kanakAdri/anjanAdri/etc

9.There is no difference between siva and kEshava(Lord Vishnu). There are one and the same.

12.Lord srI vEnkatEswara is also known as 'BUgarBaha'(since He bears the Earth at his stomach), 'Dhanvi'(since He bears the supreme powerful bow(Dhanassu)), 'sarva dharsanaha'(since He can see all the places in this entire universe simultaneoulsy indicating that He is omni-present), 'srImAn'(since He has 'srI'(srI mahAlakshmi dEvi) as his consort(wife)).
13.Lord srI vEnkatEswara is omni-present in this entire universe meaning, at a given instant He can do many(all) works like listening to a devotee's prayer, granting a boon to some other devotee, etc SIMULTANEOUSLY.
14.darsanam of the Lord is very simple if you lead a sinless life thinking of/praying(smarana) (only)Him.
15.All your sins will be removed once you step on thirumala(vEnkatAdhri) and visit(have darSanam of) divya(dhivya) mangala manOhara swarUpa, Lord srI vEnkatEswara.
16.All(sarva) Gods and Goddesses(dEvatalu) are vishnu(Lord srInivAsa) swarUpAs.

(Click on the image to view full size)

The slOka( declared in brahmAnda purAnam and varAha purAnam ) written in Telugu language that you see in the header of this page transliterated to English is:

"vEnkatAdri samam sthAnam brahmAndE nAsti kinchana,
vEnkatEsa samO dEvO na bhUtO na bhavishyati"

which means...
"In this Universe there is no sacred place equivalent to Venkatadri(i.e.,There is no place in the whole Universe which is more auspicious than the hill Venkatachala). There is no God equivalent to Lord Venkateswara neither in the past nor in the future going to be(i.e.,There is no Archa murti (worshippable form) in all the three times (present,past and future) whose glories are comparable to the Lord of Venkatachala)"
