AYODHYAKANDA COMMENCES AT NADANEERAJANAM

TIRUMALA, 17 MAY 2023: Hailing the decision of TTD for having started the Parayanams in Tirumala, the Kanchikamakoti Peethadhipathi Sri Sri Sri Vijayendra Saraswathi Mahaswamy said, the recitation of various epics will enhance Dharmic values in the society.

The Pontiff graced the Ayodhyakanda Parayanam commencing event held at Nada Neerajanam in Tirumala on Wednesday along with the TTD EO Sri AV Dharma Reddy.

In his message on the occasion, the Pontiff said, the epics Ramayana and Maha Bharata are eternal guides to the human race to lead a righteous and pious life. “It is heartening to note that the Tirumala Tirupati Devasthanams has commenced this noble mission of Parayana Yagnam since the Covid Pandemic to protect the entire humanity from the evil virus and is successfully taking forward the spiritual program from the past three years. I appreciate the zeal of the Executive Officer Sri AV Dharma Reddy to give the essence of our epics to the world through these Parayanams”, he said.

The Pontiff also said, each and every character in Ramayana teaches the value of a pious relationship in Dasaratha as an icon of Father’s love, Sri Rama as a true son, Sita as a responsible wife, Lakshmana, and Bharata showcases the sibling love, Hanuman as a noble servant to his master and many more. “This is the reason why Srimad Ramayana and Maha Bharata are immortal even after several eons. And they will remain perennial for generations to come”, he asserted.

Earlier Sri AV Dharma Reddy in his words of introduction about the program said, after successfully completing Sundarakanda, Balakanda now TTD has commenced Ayodhyayakanda which has over 4000 Shlokas.
