I Survived Only by Lord Venkateswara's Blessings: CM Chandrababu

Chief Minister N. Chandrababu Naidu, accompanied by his family members, visited Lord Venkateswara at Tirumala on Friday to mark his grandson Nara Devansh's birthday. Following the visit, he personally served food to devotees at the Vengamamba Annadanam Center. Later, he addressed the media.

Chandrababu Naidu stated, “There are still many villages in the state without Lord Venkateswara temples. To fund the construction of these temples, we will establish a trust. Earlier, N.T. Rama Rao initiated the Annadanam program, and I introduced the Praanadanam program. Now, as a third initiative, we are planning temple constructions. The trust will be set up exclusively for Madhava Seva (service to God). The funds collected for the trust will be spent meticulously, and if anyone occupies Lord Venkateswara’s properties, we will ensure they are reclaimed and returned to the deity.”

Surviving by Lord Venkateswara’s Blessings

Chandrababu Naidu shared that visiting Lord Venkateswara on his grandson Devansh’s birthday has become a tradition. He highlighted that the Annadanam program at Tirumala was initiated by N.T. Rama Rao, which has so far collected a corpus fund of Rs. 2,200 crores through donations. Describing the initiative as a noble and permanent service, he added that his Praanadanam program is dedicated to both Madhava Seva (service to God) and Manava Seva (service to humanity).

Recalling a past incident, Chandrababu Naidu stated, “After launching the Praanadanam program, during my descent from the hills, 24 claymore mines were detonated against me. The fact that I survived such an attack is solely due to the blessings of Lord Venkateswara. If anyone were to face 24 claymore mines exploding, survival would be impossible. I am alive today only because of Lord Venkateswara’s divine protection.”
