TIRUMALA, INDIA, August 28, 2011 (TNN): In an effort to enhance the spirit of Hindu Sanatana Dharma in a big way among the masses across the state, the Tirumala Tirupati Devasthanams and the endowments department are implementing dharmic and spiritual programs at the grassroots level.
The spiritual programs will be taken to the doorsteps of all the hamlets and backward areas in each district with the help of Dharma Prachara Rathams. The temple management has been using S. V. Bhakti channel to propagate dharma prachara in a big way. In addition, the Central Dharmic Advisory Council (CDAC) has suggested setting up a spiritual library in each district headquarters to enhance the spiritual knowledge of all residents.
Hindu Dharma Parirakshana Trust chairman Veerabhadraiah said mass community spiritual programs have been implemented since the trust was formed last November: “We have organized mass aksharabhyasam and Varalakshmi vratam rituals free of cost, which received an overwhelming response from the people. We are planning to organize mass Vinayaka Chaturthi celebrations for students across the state on September 1.”
