Divine Intervention From The Visa God

Are you wondering who is this Visa God? Never heard of him? Well, he is none other than Lord Balaji, one of the most-worshiped local incarnations of the Hindu Lord Vishnu. You must have visited many of his temples for things like happiness, prosperity and fertility. Then, do not wait! Seek the blessings from his incarnation as the Visa God.

The deity at once-quiet Chilkur Balaji temple has a new nickname: the Visa God. The growing number of devotes reach upto 100,000 visitors a week. The visitors come here to come to pray to Lord Balaji for visas to travel or move to the U.S. and other foreign countries. The belief is that if you ever visit the temple, your visa will never get rejected.

The miracle of the deity came to the outer world through Mohanty Dolagobinda. Three years ago, a U.S. consulting company applied for a visa on his behalf. It was rejected. When the company tried again the following year, Mr. Dolagobinda incidentally visited the Chilkur Balaji temple. Soon after his interview at the U.S. consulate, he sailed through the interview.

The Visa God's growing popularity may also be the reflection of the rising frustration of educated Indians hoping to move West.
