About Sri Balaji (Lord Vishnu)
The ancient and sacred temple of Sri Venkateswara is located on the seventh peak, Venkatachala (Venkata Hill) of the Tirupati Hill, and lies on the southern banks of Sri Swami Pushkarini.
It is by the Lord's presidency over Venkatachala, that He has received the appellation, Venkateswara (Lord of the Venkata Hill). He is also called the Lord of the Seven Hills.
The benefits acquired by a piligrimage to Venkatachala are mentioned in the Rig Veda and Asthadasa Puranas. In these epics, Sri Venkateswara is described as the great bestower of boons.
There are several legends associated with the manifestation of the Lord at Tirumala. The Temple has its origins in Vaishnavism, an ancient sect which advocates the principles of equality and love, and prohibits animal sacrifice.
Sri Balaji Temple is open 7 days of the week

Sri Balaji Temple Development Project: July 2022
Dear devotees, donors and members,
We humbly bring to your kind notice that the current premises and facilities at Sri Balaji Temple, Hamilton are not providing enough services to our communities. Therefore, the Temple Trust is considering expanding the temple services and facilities to devotees by exploring possibilities for the Temple's development.
The Trustees have embarked and have identified a property for our growing needs and to have better and more comfortable premises for our Temple.
The potential cost is around $2.5m and we need to raise at least $500,000 to have any hope of bidding for the property located very close to our current property. This property will service most of our needs. As such we humbly appeal to you all to generously donate to raise the required $500,000 and we are working hard to raise the balance from the bank.
The Temple is also looking at naming rights to the Community Hall that is available in the new property to any donor who is going to donate $500,000 or more. We appeal to all to consider donating any amount you could afford so that we can all have comfortable premises at the new Temple for Lord Balaji.
We request all the devotees to make a lump sum donation or set up an automatic payment monthly or fortnightly or weekly for an amount that you can afford towards this project. Also send a confirmation by email with your name, address and phone number to the chairperson which will assist us in getting prior approval for the funding from the bank.
The Bank Account you have to use are:
• ASB Bank A/C 12-3171-0169613-00
• Westpac A/C 03-1568-0478167-00
Please indicate in the Bank Transfer:
Reference: your 1st Name, Code: TDFund, and Reference: Your Last Name
We also appeal to all Life Members and members alike to spread the message in your networks and make further donations.
May the blessings of Lord Balaji be with you.
