विना वेङ्कटेशं न नाथो न नाथः सदा वेङ्कटेशं स्मरामि स्मरामि । हरे वेङ्कटेश !प्रसीद प्रसीद प्रियं वेङ्कटेश प्रयच्छ प्रयच्छ ॥

Sri Vidya Ganapati Sannidhi

In Sri Balaji Mandir, Nerul, Sri Ganesh Bhagvan graces the devotees as Vidya Ganapati, befittingly installed in a location surrounded by vidyastanams like schools and colleges. Sri VidyaGanapati being seated facing Goddess Sri PadmavatiThaayaar ( Sri Mahalakshmi ) draws the graceful prosperities from Her and confers the same on the devotees worshipping Him.

Astikas regularly offer their prayers to Sri Vidya Ganapati and auspiciously commence education processes (Vidyarambham) for their children in this sannidi.
