TTD plans rituals across country

Staff Reporter

TIRUMALA: The TTD's Dharma Prachara Parishad (DPP) is gearing itself to carry out various religious activities on a large scale all over the country.

Overwhelmed with the response it received from the public to Kalyanotsavams performed at Nellore recently, the DPP wants to conduct them at all the district headquarters in the State and gradually spread it to all the important cities in the country.

It has now come up with fresh proposal aimed at creating spiritual awareness among the University graduates and college students, particularly among the students belonging to SCs and STs. and other socially backward sections.

As a first step in the district, the DPP along with religious personalities belonging to Ramakrishna Mutt is contemplating to organise a four-day workshop on `Dharmik' values and personality development' for the benefit of the tribal youth.

Spiritual awareness

Besides this, to further create spiritual awareness among the tribal children, the DPP has proposed to supply study material containing Sanskrit slokas and extracts from the Bhagawad Gita to about 6,000 children in the State.

The DPP will be equipped with three to four `Prachara Rathams' - a long pending demand placed before the TTD management.
