Tirumala Nambee was very sad that he could not fulfill the daily service to LORD. The mischievous fowler he was followed Tirumala Nambi, slowly pierced the pot with a stone, and drank the water which oozed out of the pot. Nambee was taken aback and refused to give water intended for the Holy bath (Abhishekum) of the Lord and politely marched ahead. On turning he found an attractive and handsome fowler who demanded him for water to quench his thirst. One day when Tirumalai Nambee was walking towards the temple sanctorium from Papanashanam with a pot of water ,Lord appeared before Tirumalai Nambi in the attire of a fowler addressed Nambi as Thatha ( Grandpa). Lord out of his abundant compassion, wanted to grace his devotee for the great kainkaryam taken up by him. He was old but never allowed his age to interfere in his services. Tirumala Nambi used to bring water from Papanasam situated at a distance of 8 kilometers from Tirumala for the daily puja. His entire lifetime was spent living in a small hut on the hills and worked out of it while tending to, maintaining and administering the temple of his beloved ‘tiruvengadamudaiyAn’ ( Lord Venkateshwara ). He dedicated his entire life to the services of the Lord and in His aradhana.

Sri Tirumala Nambi was a great religious scholar in his own right but out of deliberate choice decided to devote his life to “theertha-kainkarya” ( service of bringing water from Papanasanam for worship of Lord of Seven Hills) at the Tirumala. During those hard days there lived a great devotee Tirumala Nambi in Tirumala Hills at Tirupathi. Tirumala was a rough and rocky terrain and the upkeep of the temple in those days must have been a terribly daunting and unwelcome task. Today 10-06-2014 is Swamy Tirumala Nambes Thirunakshatram ( Appearance day ) One thousand years ago Tirumala was not the salubrious and convenient place we know it is today.
