TTD- Conduct of SARASWATHI YAGAM in Tirupati on March 9

 

HUNDREDS OF STUDENTS CONVERGE FOR "SARASWATHI YAGAM"

TIRUMALA, MARCH 9:  Hundreds of students took part in the Maha Saraswathi Yagam performed by Tirumala Tirupati Devasthanams in Tirupati on Friday.

 

This Yagam would help to improve concentration, stabilise the thought process, infuse rationality in thinking and achieve mental maturity which is very essential especially for the students towards their fruitful career ahead.

 

From the past few years TTD's Hindu Dharma Prachara Parishad (HDPP) wing has been organsing this Maha Saraswathi Yagam during the examination period to appease Goddess of Wisdom - Saraswathi Devi to shower her blessings on the students.

 

Under the supervision of TTD Agama Advisor Dr Vedantam Vishnubhattacharyulu, the Yagam took place between 9am to 1pm in Ramachandra in Tirupati as per the norms of Vaikhanasa Agama tradition. The vedic pundits performed homam by setting up six Agni Gundams and recited "Saraswathi Maha Mantra" which will help the students to build mental determination and courage to pass the exams. Later "Vidya Kankanams"-sacred threads were distributed to the students.

 

TTD EO Sri LV Subramanyam, JEO Sri P Venkatrami Reddy, DPP Deputy EO Sri Umapathi Reddy, OSD Sri Raghunath, scholar Sri Chenchu Subbaiah and others also took part in the ceremonious fete. They all wished the students whole-heartedly "All the Best" for their exams.

 

Earlier during the day around 8.30am, the processional deities of Lord Sri Rama flanked by Goddess Sita Devi and Lord Lakshmana Swamy were brought to the mandap where the ritual took place
